AYingge Dance is a traditional folk dance that has gained significant popularity in recent times.

An elderly gentleman was standing by the side of a path, looking confused and lost. Just at that moment, a kind-hearted young girl approached him. She asked him gently what was wrong and listened patiently as he struggled to explain.Without hesitation, the girl took his hand and slowly guided him along the path, chatting with him to ease his anxiety. They walked together until they reached the place the old man was supposed to be. The old man smiled with thankfulness and relief.After helping the old man, the girl didn't just leave. She spent some more time with him, sharing some interesting stories and making him laugh. The old man's eyes sparkled with joy, and it was clear that this interaction had brightened his day. The girl's kindness seemed to have an effect, as other people in the park also noticed and were inspired by her actions.I continued to observe as the girl then decided to stay with the old man for a while longer. They sat on a bench together, and the girl began to tell him about her own life, her dreams, and her adventures. The old man listened attentively, nodding and smiling from time to time. It was a beautiful sight to behold, this unlikely pair sharing such a genuine and heartwarming connection.This encounter made me reflect on the importance of kindness in our society. In a world that can often seem cold and hurried, acts like the girl's are like the tower of light, showing us the way to a more empathetic(同情的)and caring existence. It also made me think about how we all have the potential to make a difference in someone else's life, no matter how small the act may be.Now, whenever I recall this scene, it warms my heart and reminds me to be more willing to offer a helping hand, to spread kindness wherever I go, and to believe in the goodness that lies within each of us.24.

She went to a nearby store and bought him a refreshing drink.25. How did the old man feel in the end?A. He felt extremely grateful and had a big smile on his face because he was happy.B. He was still hungry and sad as no one really cared about his needs.C. He felt fearful and angry because the girl was too pushy.D. He felt cold and tired as the walk was too long.26. What can we infer about the author's attitude?A. Doubtful .B. Disapproving.C. NegativeD. Admiring.27. Where is this passage most likely from?A. A detailed and informative travel guide filled with places to visit.B. A complex and educational science textbook with various theories.C. A personal blog where the author shares personal experiences and thoughts.D. A trendy and fashionable magazine featuring the latest styles and trends.CChina's tea culture is an ancient and profound(意义深远的)cultural heritage that has been passed down and developed for thousands of years. It weaves an complicated and fascinating pattern within Chinese society.Tea growing in China is an art form in itself. The tea-growing areas, with their special climates and lands, produce teas of exceptional quality. From the misty mountains of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan, different areas offer a rich variety of tea types.The process of making tea is careful and detailed. It involves exact measurements of water temperature, the right amount of tea leaves, and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavor and smell. This care for details shows the Chinese people's search for excellence in all parts of life.Tea is not merely a beverage; it is a thing that helps social relations. It brings people together, whether in family get-togethers, friendly meetings, or business talks. The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection. And the many tea-houses all over the country offer places for people to relax, talk, and enjoy the peace that tea gives. Moreover, tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture. These ceremonies are complex and formal, showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions. They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process.In addition to its social and cultural importance, tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits. It is thought to have anti-oxidant(抗氧化的) features and is linked to various good effects on physical health.As China keeps moving forward and modernizing, its tea culture is still strongly fixed, a proof of its historical and cultural importance. It keeps attracting both the Chinese people and those from around the world, inviting them to explore and enjoy the beauty and depth of this great cultural phenomenon.28. What is the main reason for the rich variety of tea types in China?A. Different processing methods.B. Different people's preferences.C. Different regions' climates and lands.D. Different times of harvest.29. What does the word "beverages" mean in the passage?A. A type of food that is sweet and usually served as dessert.B. A tool or equipment used for cooking.C.

If the Chang'e-6 mission is successful, it will give scientists important and direct facts to know more about the far side's environment, geological features, and material make-up. This will be an important step forward in our exploration of the moon and the universe as a whole.The Chang'e-6 spacecraft has an orbiter, a lander, an ascender(上升器), and a returner. When it reaches the moon, it will land carefully on the far side. Within 48 hours after landing, a robot arm will carefully collect rocks and soil from the lunar surface. Also, a drill will go into the ground to take samples from deeper layers. At the same time, a series of complex scientific tests and analyses will be done to get valuable data.The far side of the moon is very different from the side we can see. The Apollo basin in the South Pole-Aitken Basin is chosen as the landing and sampling place for the Chang'e-6 mission. This area is thought to have precious clues about the moon's formation and development, giving possible ideas about the early history of our celestial(天体)neighbor.This mission has many technical difficulties and needs the latest technologies. It also gets help from international cooperation, showing the spirit of working together in the global search for space exploration. The exploration of the far side of the moon may provide valuable scientific data and open up new possibilities for future space activities, such as setting up long-term lunar bases and using lunar resources.The success of the Chang'e-6 mission has the possibility to make more international cooperation in space exploration. It shows China's strong wish to add to the growth of global knowledge about the universe and encourages other countries to work together to find out the secrets of the universe.32. What is the main purpose of the Chang'e-6 mission?A. To build a base on the far side of the moon.B. To study how the moon moves around.C. To collect and bring back samples from the far side of the moon.D. To look for water on the moon.33. Which of the following is true about the far side of the moon?A. It's different from the side we can see.B. It's the same as the side we can see.C. We know a lot about it.D. It has no rocks or soil.34. What might the exploration of the far side of the moon lead to?A. No change in the future.B. New chances for space activities.C. Fewer friends for China in space.D. No new technologies.35. What could be a suitable title for this passage?A. "The Mystery of the Moon"B. "The Far Side of the Moon: Unknown Territory"C. "Space Exploration and Challenges"D. "China's Chang'e-6 Mission: Unveiling the Secrets of the Moon's Far Side"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。

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.4Ways to Get That Vacation Feeling in Two Days Going on vacation every week?It might sound like the(41)________dream.But a simple mindset(42)_________can make it happen—no travel involved.A few years ago,Holmes and her colleagues began(43)_________the importance of taking vacations.In a series of experiments,Holmes’team(44) _________441U.S.workers to either spend the weekend like any other,or treat it like a vacation.When they were back at work on Monday,people who had adopted a vacation mindset reported being happier and less stressed.“What was somewhat surprising is that the effect wasn’t driven by peoplespending time all that(45)________,”Holmes says.“It was this mindset that allowed them to be more present.(46)________being in“doing”mode,it allowed people to settle in and be in the moment.We asked people to share their favorite tips for adopting a vacation mindset at home.1.Get creative about(47)_________timeNot everyone has Saturday and Sunday off work and actually some people often find their weekend schedules fully(48)________.You could still apply the philosophy.For example,devote an hour on Sunday morning to the(49)_________, but protect the rest of the weekend as your vacation time.2.Reflect on prioritiesFocus on what makes a vacation different from a(50)________weekend.“Does it mean turning off your email notifications?Spending money carelessly?“Maybe it means being able to spend time with people you don’t normally get to see,or giving yourself a break on a workout,”Holmes says.“It’s helpful to make a list of those things and be able to(51)________.”3.Act like a(52)________Decision scientist Nika Kabiri recommends doing something totally new so you can disconnect from the same old routines(53)________your life.Among her favorite ideas:Drive to a part of town you’ve never been to before,go for a stroll,and grab lunch at the first cute caféyou see.“The spontaneity(自发性)is what makes experiences like this feel vacation-like,”Kabiri says.4.Don’t put extra pressure on yourselfTreating your weekend like a vacation doesn’t mean it needs to be a complicated affair.If your“vacation”encounters a few problems or lasts for only a few hours—don’t worry.“It doesn’t have to be all or nothing,”Kabiri says.“Don’t put pressure on yourself to have this‘perfect vacation.’”It’s(54)________to be fun.(55) ________,there’s always another one just a few days away.41.A.unattainable B.inharmonious C.incomplete D.unprofessional42.A.study B.shift C.trend D.proposal43.A.representing B.ranking C.exploring D.predicting44.A.persuaded B.challenged C.motivated D.instructed45.A.practically B.literally C.identically D.differently46.A.In light of B.Regardless of C.In favor of D.Instead of47.A.telling B.killing C.making D.changing48.A.cleared B.packed C.removed D.dominatedundry B.recreation C.movies D.picnic50.A.regular B.dramatic C.primitive D.peaceful51.A.identify with B.depend on C.follow through D.substitute for52.A.resident B.master C.tourist D.neighbor53.A.facilitating erning C.revealing D.polishing54.A.proved B.defined C.described D.meant55.A.Plus B.Hence C.Still D.Finally Section 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)PAUL HEMINGTON,57,is the Assistant Operations Manager at Cheddar Gorge (切达峡谷)and Caves I moved to SOMERSET mainly for my family.My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away,so we made the move.Once we moved,we were made unneeded and it was a mad race to get work.I ended up at here at Cheddar Gorge and Caves.Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK.It’s a unique phenomenon,because although there are other caves in the country,you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. This is a major geological feature,it’s three miles long and there’s just this natural, raw beauty.I can sit at my desk in guest services and look out at part of the gorge.It’s amazing.The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong.You know,not having worked here or heard about the area,you come here and it gets under your skin in the right way.You become part of it,it becomes part of you.I’m very passionate about it.And there’s the amazing wildlife,the geology,the prehistory—Cheddar Man is still one of the greatest finds in the UK.Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different.You’ve got the rock sports side of things,the climbing,the caving.We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history,which we do with the museum,whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them.We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man,which is the Mesolithic period,so 10,000years ago.We do fire lighting,for example,and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people!It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it,so you can really submerge yourself in that moment.My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir.The view is amazing.Yes,you can see pictures of it,but honestly you have to be there to fully appreciate it.You might hear some buzzards or see some sheep or goats while you’re up there,just to enhance the experience!56.PAUL HEMINGTON originally moved to Cheddar Gorge to__________.A.settle down in the countrysideB.be closer to his daughternd a job as a tour guideD.take part in a competitive race57.The underlined phrase“gets under your skin”is closest in meaning to_________.A.affects you deeplyB.bothers you greatlyC.increases your strengthD.improves your skin condition58.Which of the following falls into Paul’s job descriptions?A.He goes to the school to give lectures on pre-history.B.He demonstrates to young people how to climb rocks.C.He participates in recreating the scenes in the Mesolithic period.D.He decorates the museum garden to make it look like the gorge.59.What does PAUL HEMINGTON talk about in this article?A.How he adapts to the local way of life.B.What major local attractions are worth seeing.C.Why Cheddar Gorge ranks first as a natural wonder.D.What makes Cheddar Gorge so special to him.What’s the best way to keep track I’m not sure what the best way is,butShould I use single quotes or It doesn’t matter!Usually it’s a matter of60.________are most useful for controlling timelines of the story.A.Character sheetsB.Dialogue recordsC.PhotographsD.Spreadsheets61.The appropriate example in the box should be __________.A.‘I saw Anne at writing group,’Milly said.‘And she came rushing up to me and cried,“I’ve done it at last.I’ve got an agent!”’B.“I saw Anne at writing group,”Milly said.“And she came rushing up to me and cried,‘I’ve done it at last.I’ve got an agent!”C.‘I saw Anne at writing group,’Milly said.“And she came rushing up to me and cried,‘I’ve done it at last.I’ve got an agent!’”D.“I saw Anne at writing group,”Milly said.‘And she came rushing up to me and cried,‘I’ve done it at last.I’ve got an agent!’62.Which of the following questions is most likely to be asked by Grace Louise,whois dreaming of becoming a novelist?A.When and where will your next novel be published?B.What should I write about to win the writing competition?C.Do you have any tips for overcoming the writer’s block?D.Can you give us a lecture on choosing the right topics?(C)A forest in Staffordshire (in the UK)transformed into a hi-tech laboratory.Researchers here are investigating how the trees use carbon,and it’s difficult to find out.In an unusual experiment,extra carbon dioxide is piped to the trees,to create the kind of atmospheric conditions expected in the middle of the century.And instruments measure how the forest reacts.The scientist in charge says there’s still a lot to learn.And he worries that governments and companies are rushing to plant trees as an easy answer to climate change.“If you try and use trees to tidy up the mess that we’re making through emissions,you are putting those trees into a very rapidly changing climate and they will struggle to adapt,”said Professor Rob MacKenzie,University of Birmingham.This device tracks the movement of carbon dioxide.In a healthy forest,the gas is not only absorbed by the trees but some is released as well.What scientists here are finding out is the way carbon flows into a forest and out of it is a lot more complicated than you might think.So,if mass tree planting is meant to be a solution to tackling climate change,the trees are going to have to be monitored and cared for,go.It’s for tracking not plotting,but it couldbe used for that if you plotted whathappens in each chapter.Hope this helps,Amanda.Grace Louiseover not just decades,but may be centuries as well.Of all the challenges,the task of planting is the simplest.Shelby Barber from Canada can do an amazing4,000trees in a day.“People talking about planting millions billions of trees around the world.Is it possible do you think,physically?”asked BBC.“It’s definitely possible with the right amount of people,the right group of people. I’ve personally,in three years,planted just over half a million trees.”said Professor Rob MacKenzie.Once planted,the trees need to survive,and experts are mixing different types to minimize the risk of disease.“It’s a bit like making sure you don’t put all your eggs in one basket,you’re spreading out your risk.And then if one part of that woodland fails, for whatever reason,it gets a disease or it can’t tolerate future climatic conditions, there are other parts of the forest that are healthy and able to fill in those gaps.”said Eleanor Tew of Forestry England.Suddenly there’s momentum to plant trees on a scale never seen before.So what matters is doing it in a way that ensures the forests thrive—so they really do help with climate change.63.Why is extra carbon dioxide piped to the trees in the experiment?A.To predict the future atmospheric conditions.B.To imitate the possible air condition in the future.C.To create an instrument to measure atmospheric conditions.D.To investigate the quality of air condition in the future.64.The underlined word“some”in the second paragraph refers to__________.A.oxygenB.carbon dioxideC.messD.purified gas65.What will Eleanor Tew suggest concerning the survival of the forest?A.Minimizing the area of the woodland.B.Studying future climatic conditions.C.Planting different types of trees.D.Avoiding mixing different species.66.Which statement concerning mass tree planting will Professor Rob Mackenziemostly likely agree with?A.It should be advocated in terms of efficiency and convenience.B.It is the most effective solution to fighting climate changes.C.It will do more harm than good to the health of the environment.D.It needs to be studied further as a measure against climate change.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.It has also designed a special program that lets people return used furniture pieces to its stores so they can be fixed and used again by consumers.B.This would help to reduce overall waste,as it would extend the life cycle of old furniture items.C.Although these items may cost less initially,they are more expensive because they will need to be replaced sooner than traditional pieces of furniture.D.This creates a lot of pollution,as the furniture ends up buried in landfills where it can harm the soil.E.Homeowners are looking for furniture that is kinder to the environment.F.By choosing furniture that’s made to last,we can help reduce waste and protect the environment.The Fight against Fast FurnitureFast furniture is a term that refers to furniture that is produced cheaply and quickly.These items are often bad for the environment because they are made from materials that break easily and need to be replaced often.(67) ____________________To help protect the environment,a movement to move away from fast furniture has begun.Many companies are joining the fight by finding cleaner ways to manufacture furniture.For example,IKEA has agreed to switch to using renewable or recycled materials for their furniture by the year2030.(68)____________________ There is also a push to encourage shoppers to buy more used furniture for their homes.Small businesses that help transform old chairs and sofas into completely new products have even popped up recently.At the end of the day,consumers will play the most important role in the fight to end fast furniture.Shoppers should try to think more about the long term when preparing to purchase new furniture.They should stay away from furniture that is made from cheap materials like fiberboard or plastic because they will often fall apart after a few years.(69)____________________A much better alternative is furniture made from real wood because it won’t break as easily.If wood furniture is damaged,it can often be repaired to last longer. High-quality metals are another good material,as they are durable.If the furniture isno longer fit for use,these metals can still be recycled and used to make new products.(70)____________________So,the next time you buy furniture,think about whether it’s something that will last a long time or it’s just fast furniture that will break soon and go into the trash.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.Digital Nomads(游牧人)How would you like to answer your work emails from a beachfront caféin Thailand or a coffee shop in Portugal?If that appeals to you,being a digital nomad might be for you.Digital nomads can literally work from anywhere as their jobs are online.Digital nomads rely on portable devices with wireless Internet capabilities such as laptops,tablets and smartphones.Typically,they work from coffee shops, restaurants,co-working spaces,apartments or internet cafés—places with an Internet connection.Worldwide,statistics show the number of digital nomads hit35million in2021. So what is it that makes the lifestyle of digital nomads so fascinating?First and foremost,digital nomads get to live in different countries and cultures while they work,providing them with opportunities to have adventures and experience new things.These folks have also found the most flexible means of online incomes, allowing them to head out at a moment’notice and go where they please.“I’m free,”says Nimisha Walji,“I can go where the wind takes me and live any place I choose!If I feel like a change,I can pursue that in a matter of days,sometimes hours.”You may think that being a digital nomad is all sunshine and rainbows.It is not necessarily so.Job finding is one of the hardest tasks for the digital nomad,given that they have no permanent home,no office address,and no one knows them.To apply for a job,they need to find the employer and persuade him to hire them.Most of the employers hire from their own city,and that’s why it’s so hard for a nomad to find a job.Access to stable Wi-Fi and adequate workspace can be difficult.If someone struggles to stay focused at home,there can’t be a worse place than a fascinating holiday location.Few people can manage to be productive faced with the temptations and distractions.It seems that living the life of a digital nomad isn’t for everyone.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.冷静,别让焦虑影响你的表现。

AGood evening everyone!I hope to pick your brain on potential advertising strategies and gaining new customers for my boyfriend's car repair shop.He has been in business for 3 years and is fairly successful, but we are trying to increase the number of chargeable hours. While he was doing repair work,I took over all the administrative duties. The first thing on my to-do list was to get him on social media. I was floored that he had no social media presence, which is not surprising considering he is old school.Now, he has a business Facebook page and an Instagram account, although it may not be worth much yet. We are working on a weekly“feature”for both platforms in order to create some interest. 微信公众号IAI English He doesn't want to do coupons(优惠券) or discounts or anything like that, and I understand why. His labor rate is already significantly lower than anyone else in the area, and his overall costs are lower as well. This is where I am a bit lost——how can we effectively attract more customers without a hook? My guess would be focusing on the value,but I'm not sure how well that will work out.We are considering sending postcards as well since he already cooperates with a few local shops who send their large jobs to him and such. However,I am unsure about Facebook marketing, but definitely open.1. What was scheduled first to promote business?A. Working out a weekly feature.B. Increasing chargeable hours.C. Establishing his presence online.D. Visiting his old school.2. How might they attract new clients?A. By raising labor rates.B. By offering discounts and coupons.C. By cutting overall costs.D. By highlighting the value of services.3. What is the purpose of the text?A. To offer information.B. To seek advice.C. To show advantages.D. To find cooperation.BThere was no way to escape when they spotted a polar bear. Verena Mohaupt and a handful of colleagues were trapped on a floating sea ice while the bear gazed at them, smelling the air, a dangerous sign.“That's when everything kicks in,”Mohaupt says,“and you focus on what's important.”As a colleague fired into the sky as a warning shot, Mohaupt radioed their research ship a few kilometres away, whose helicopter luckily arrived quickly and Mohaupt didn't have to use the gun that was hanging over her shoulder.Keeping a lookout for bears was a regular duty for Mohaupt, the logistics coordinator(后勤协调员) for a year-long mission known as the MOSAiC——the largest Arctic research exploration in history. The project, consisting of roughly 300 scientists, led by scientist MarkusRex, has collected massive measurements that will help better forecast how warming will transform the globe in the coming decades. For months, the exploration operated in constant darkness while polar bears wandered nearby, storms rocked the ship and the ice shifted and cracked. Then, when the Sun returned, the ice began to melt, creating a life-threatening risk and a nightmare for researchers who needed to keep their instruments from sinking.Tasked with the security of the mission, Mohaupt designed an extensive training course for the participants in which they learnt how to avoid the danger, like storm-rocking and ice-cracking. They jumped into a Norwegian channel in their survival suits and climbed out of the freezing waters using only their ice picks. They learnt how to escape from a crashed helicopter. And they discussed the psychological effects of being far from home. Mohaupt brought knitting equipment, yoga mats and a violin for their men tal health——although having been prepared for the isolation.Mohaupt didn't expect a career in polar regions, but says she has always been drawn to the north.“She was there to make sure that we were protected,”says Markus Rex,“Mohaupt is certainly the champion in the field.”4. Why does the author mention a polar bear in the beginning?A. To show the threat of bears.B. To tell an interesting story.C. To introduce Mohaupt's job.D. To describe the polar scenery.5. What can we know from paragraph 3?A. The working conditions were tough.B. Mohaupt helped to collect massive data.C. The exploration went on in total darkness.D. Mohaupt's duty was to protect polar bears.6. Which of the following best describes Mohaupt?A. Ambitious and brave.B. Passionate and dependent.C. Considerate and modest.D. Professional and responsible.7. What is a suitable title for the text?A. A Potential Danger in the Exploration.B. A Guardian Angel of Polar Researchers.C. A Great Scientific Exploration in History.D. A Great Female Scientist in Polar Research.CChances are you've heard the phrase “ like a moth to a flame”——and probably seen it in action at a nighttime fire or barbecue, too. It turns out, however, this age-old saying may not be quite right. Rather than being attracted to light, moths’ tendency to fly toward brightness is a behavioral response to help them determine which way is up,suggests a new study published in the journal Nature Communications.To avoid falling down to the ground, insects need to know which way is up, says study coauthor Yash Sondhi,aNational Geographic Explorer. Without systems to maintain spatial(空间的) orientation, the brightness of the sky,even at night, has always been a strong indicator of“up”——until artificial lights came along. If they mess that up,they start plummeting.Sondhi and a team of researchers set up experiments to investigate how different lights influence flight behavior.First, the researchers suspended a light bulb from a rope between two trees——resembling a typical downward-pointing light——and in a separate test, they turned the light upward by mounting it on a tripod(三脚架).In both cases, insects leaned their winged backs to the bulb. But when the light was pointed up, the insects often bumped to the ground.What if the light is spread over a wide area? The researchers stretched a large white sheet across the tree and projected a UV light on it. If the insects were truly“attracted”to the light, they should fly up toward it. Instead, the insects cruised(巡航) straight through this illuminated corridor, flying how they would during the day. The team then placed the sheet on the ground and shined the light on it, which is when something truly odd happened:All these moths flying over it turned upside down and crashed out of the sky. Directionality of light is a huge factor in the pattern we have seen, not just brightness or color.“Artificial lights may cause a mismatch between the insect's sense of which way is up and true direction of gravity, which spells trouble for insects population.”says Sondhi.8. What can be inferred about “like a moth to a flame” in the new study?A. A moth is generally attracted by a flame.B. Artificial lights are valuable for a moth.C. Brightness indicates up for a moth.D. A moth has a sense of direction.9. What does the underlined word“plummeting”in paragraph 2 mean?A. Crashing.B. Speeding.C. Freezing.D. Suspending.10. What lights influence insects most in the experiments?A. UV lights on the tree.B. Upward-pointing lights.C. Downward-pointing lights.D. Lights of different colors.11. What is Sondhi's attitude toward artificial lights?A. Concerned.B. Dismissive.C. Doubtful.D. Neutral.DWould you rather watch a new movie, or an old favorite? Would you rather try a di sh you've never had at a restaurant, or stick with something you know you'll like? Researchers studying the“me re exposure effect”have found that we often prefer the familiar over the novel.People didn't need to experience a reward or positive outcome while around the object—simply being exposed to the object would be enough to make people like it. To test this, social psychologist Robert Zajonc had participants read words in a for eign language out loud and varied how often participants read each word(up to 25 repetitions).Next, after reading the words, participants were asked to guess at the meaning of each word by filling out a rating scale(indicating how positive or negative they thought the meaning of the word was).He found that participants liked words that they had said more often, while words that participants hadn't read at all were rated more negatively, and words that had been read 25 times were rated highest. Just the me re exposure to the word was enough to make participant s like it more.One place where the me re exposure effect occurs is in advertising. It explains why seeing the same advertisement multiple times could be more convincing than just seeing it once. Of course, there's a caution here:the me re exposure effect doesn't happen for things we initially dislike. Researchers have found that our liking for a variety of things(including pictures, sounds, foods, and smells) can be increased with repeated exposure, suggesting that the me re exposure effect isn't limited to just one of our senses. Additionally, researchers have found that the me re exposureeffect occurs in studies with human research participants as well as in studies with non-human animals.Another key finding from this analysis was that participants eventually started to like object s less after many repeated exposures. In other words,a smaller number of repeated exposures will make you like something more——but, if the repeated exposures continue, you could eventually get tired of it.12. What is the key factor in Robert Zajonc's test?A. Frequency.B. Preference.C. Originality.D. Achievement.13. Which of the following is an example of me re exposure effect?A. We favor an advertisement at the first sight.B. A student joined in the club because of love.C. We are more convinced of what we met before.D. A student read as many English words as possible.14. What can we learn about“me re exposure effect” according to paragraph 4?A. It is the result of advertising.B. It has nothing to do with animals.C. It is true of what we dislike at first.D. It can be applied to multiple senses.15. What is the text mainly about?A. More love because of more exposures.B. The study on me re exposure effect.C. Better results from the earlier exposures.D. The application of me re exposure effect.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。

The coastal town, located on the Western Cape about 1.5 hours from Cape Town, is famous for whale watching. It is one of the best locations in the world to witness large numbers of southern right whales moving in the season. The festival, which is the only eco-arts festival in South Africa, attracts over 130,000 visitors.Hermanus also has the world’s only “Whale Crier”, whose job is to go around and tell people where they may see whales — with his horn. Fortunately, the timing of the festival almost guarantees a whale sighting — as close as a few meters from shore!The whales are, of course, the main attraction of the festival, but many more terrific activities are available. The seaside environment, with the surrounding mountains, makes an ideal setting to enjoy the festival’s musical performances and fantastic seafood. For those who desire more adventure, there’s open water swimming, a night run and sports challenges. Other activities include an old car show, arts and crafts stalls and entertainment for kids. With something for everyone, what more could one ask for?Questions:11. What is the reason for so many visitors choosing to watch whales in Hermanus?12. What does Whale Crier do at the festival?13. What can we learn about the whale festival?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.14.A.Conflicts between labor and management.B.Rights and responsibilities of company employees.C.Common complaints made by office workers.D.Health and safety conditions in the workplace.15.A.They wanted the outdated equipment replaced.B.They quit work to protect their unborn babies.C.They sought help from union representatives.D.They requested to have their posts changed.16.A.To show how busy they are at work.B.To show how they love winter sports.C.To protest against the poor working conditions.D.To protect themselves against the heating system.【答案】14.D 15.D 16.C【原文】Since a union representative visited our company to inform us about our rights and protections, my co-workers have been worrying about health conditions and complaining about safety risks in the workplace. Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about seven hours a day. An X-ray technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its out-dated equipment. She insists that it’s exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to inspect the department. I’ve heard that at a factory in the area, two pregnant women, who were working with paint, requested a transfer to a safer department because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies. The supervisor of personnel refused the request. In another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owner was too busy or too mean to do anything about it. Finally, they all met and agreed to wear ski-clothing to work the next day. The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his employees. But he had the heating system replaced right away.Questions14. What does the talk focus on?15. What does the speaker say about the two pregnant women?16. Why did the workers in the firm wear ski-clothing to work?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.17.A.Amish teenagers.B.An online program.C.Trips to Los Angeles.D.An imaginary community.18.A.They do not have modern technology.B.They have never left their home.C.They do not park cars by themselves.D.They have never seen the ocean. 19.A.The modern world likes to teach children to fix machines.B.The Amish people have no contact with the modern world.C.The modern world does not welcome the Amish teenagers.D.The Amish people take horses as a means of transportation.20.A.Disappointed and sad.B.Upset but excited.C.Annoyed and unhappy.D.Puzzled but interested.【答案】17.B 18.A 19.D 20.D【原文】M: Have you seen that online program about Amish people?W: No. Why?M: Oh, it’s really amazing. It’s about these five Amish teenagers. You know, the Amish community live in the countryside of America, and they don’t have modern technology.W: No modern technology? Don’t they have computers?M: No. Nothing. They build their own houses, and ride horses to go here and there in their community. They don’t have cars, or mobile phones or anything.W: Wow! So, what happens in the program?M: Well, the program takes five Amish teenagers to live in a big house in Los Angeles, with some other teenagers, who are not Amish.W: So, the Los Angeles kids teach these Amish people about the modern world?M: Yes, that’s right. The Amish have never seen televisions before, or computers, videos, washing machines... Nothing.W: They have never seen them?M: No. And they take these Amish people to the beach. Can you imagine that the Amish have never seen the ocean before? The program is really good.W: Yes, it sounds interesting.M: They also go out to experience VR games and do some shopping.W: And do the Amish like what they see? Do they like the modern world?M: Well, they find it very confusing. But everything is very fascinating, even things like car parks! And the girls like wearing the new clothes.W: Car parks? Do they…(Now listen again please.)Questions:17. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?18. Which is the main factor that makes Amish people special?19. What can we learn from the conversation?20. How do the five Amish teenagers feel in the modern world?II.Grammar and Vocabulary(20分)Section A(10分)Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.A New Way to Learn LanguagesNowadays, the Internet is changing the way people learn languages. There is still no way to avoid the hard work through vocabulary lists and grammar rules, but since the birth of the Internet, books, tapes and even CDs 21 (replace) by email, video chat and social networks.Livemocha, a Seattle-based company, has created a website helping people learn more than 38 languages by exchanging messages over the Internet and then 22 (correct) each other’s messages. The lessons, 23 form they are in, are delivered online.The CEO of Livemocha says the website’s advantage is the context 24 you may practice speaking with a real person. “The great irony is that even if you have learned a foreign language in the classroom for years, you are not confident 25 (go) into a restaurant, striking up a conversation,” he said.

AMonet: The Immersive(沉浸式)ExperienceMonet: The Immersive Experience in Liège invites you to step into the world of the French painter Claude Monet, one of the greatest artistic geniuses of the nineteenth century!Explore some of the most breathtaking paintings by Claude Monet with the help of a digital 360-degree presentation. The unique exhibition concept is staged with state-of-the-art multimedia technology, which shows very large images of Monet’s paintings on the wall s and floors of the building.It has music, the smell of flowers, and voice-over in severallanguages to make the paintings come alive in a way never seen before.To fully get into the world of the French painter, visitors are guided through three experience rooms.Each room is a highlight on its own and provides visitors not only with an insight, but also with new experiences and new viewpoints on Monet’s life, his work and his masterpieces.Practical info·Date: from March 2024·Opening hours:Wednesday, Thursday: 10: 00 am-7: 00 pmFriday: 10: 00 am-8: 00 pmSaturday: 9: 00 am-8: 00 pmSunday: 9: 00 am-7: 00 pmMonday and Tuesday: Closed·Duration: the visit will take around 60 to 75 minutes·Location: Eglise Saint-Pholien, Rue Saint-Pholien, 4020 Liège·Please consult the FAQs of this experience here1.How does the exhibition help visitors explore Monet’s paintingsA.It uses digital technology.B.It gives lectures on art.C.It offers stages to visitors.D.It provides language services.2.What will visitors experience in the three roomsA.An exploration on French art.B.An introductory tour of painters.C.A unique journey to Monet’s world.D.An encounter withMonet-inspired artworks.3.Which of the following is a recommended visiting timeA.11: 30 am(Wed, Feb 21).B.10: 00 am(Tue, Mar 19).C.6: 30 pm(Thur, Mar 28).D.4: 00 pm(Sun, Apr 7).BThe Music Educator Award, this year, went to Annie Ray, an orchestra (管弦乐队)director at Annandale High School.She was recognized for her efforts to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities.Ray got to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles and bring home a $10,000 prize.Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregiver s a year to play the same instrument as their child.Ray also works with a local charity to give damaged instruments a second life in her classroom.The orchestra is about much more than just making music.The most important is to give students a chance to develop their cooperation skills, make mistakes and learn the art of refining something.Ray pushes her students to be brave, go outside their comfort zone and realize they have to learn how to make bad sounds before learning how to make good sounds.And they teach her a lot in return.“They changed my educational philosophy.I understand what it truly means to meet astudent where they’re at and apply that elsewhere,” she said.The warm reception on the ceremony was meaningful.Actually, not many people understand what exactly music educators do or how much their work matters.While her administration is supportive, that lack of understanding is a problem facing the profession in general.Another is resources.She say s her school “desperately” needs new instruments.She will use some of her prize money to buy moreRay also plans to put some of the money towards an ongoing scholarship for students who want to pursue music when they graduate.She knows of several, those particularly interested in music, and aims to offer financial support needed to realize their musical dreams.“It is hard but truly satisfying,” Ray said.“And there’s nothing else like it for them.”4.What can we learn about Ray from the first two paragraphs A.She hosted the award ceremony.B.She brought music to more people.C.She gave away instruments to the poor.D.She founded a local charity for children.5.What do students benefit most from the orchestraA.They acquire in-depth musical knowledge.B.They make friends with the like-minded.C.They gain personal growth from playing music.D.They improve their connections with educators.6.What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly aboutA.The reception on the ceremony.B.Importance of music education.C.Challenges for music educators.D.Plans to obtain resources.7.What does Ray find satisfying according to the last paragraph A.Winning a scholarship.B.Developing interest in music.C.Making musical achievements.D.Transforming dreams into reality.CAn ancient Lati n proverb says “Aquila non capit muscas” —cagles don’t hunt flies—meaning that important ones shouldn’t concern themselves with small, insignificant matters.But the lions in East Africa should concern themselves with the seemingly insignificant ants, because these ants are changing their lifestyles.The story start s with the acacia trees(金合欢树)in an African wildlife area in central Kenya.Some of these acacia trees provide food and shelter for specific an t species, which in turn defend the tree against herbivores(食草动物).The ants are actively attacking and driving away herbivores that attempt to feed on the tree’s leaves.This is highly effective; the ants not only physically harm the herbivores but also release chemicals that can deter other potential attackers.But these ants are in trouble.Another species called the “big-headed” an t is destroying entire groups of tree-protecting ants.This, in turn, sets off an entire chain of events that ends up influencing when and howlions can hunt.This ant invasion(入侵)affects one thing after the other.It leaves the acacia trees defenseless against herbivores especially elephants.The elephants come in and eat the acacias at five to seven times the rate observed in uninvaded areas.The lions, while hunting for food, have no more trees to use for hiding.This reduced tree cover makes lions less successful at hunting and pushes them to find different areas to hunt in.“These tiny invaders are pulling on the ties that put an African ecosystem together, determining who is eaten a ndwhere,” said Todd Palmer, an ecologist from Florida.The lions, which are already endangered, are managing to cope with this by no longer focusing their attention on zebras.The zebras, of course, can see them much better on the approach given the lack of cover.Instead, they are targeting water buffalo.But this also isn’t the end of the story.Who knows what the lions’ changing strategy will mean for the ecosystem down the line8.What does the underlined word “deter” in paragraph 2mean A.Direct.B.Discourage.C.Identify.D.Seek.9.What role do the elephants play in the chain reaction A.Cooperating with “big-headed” ants.B.Damaging the hiding place for lions.C.Protecting the acacias from herbivores.D.Starting off thedisturbance of the chain.10.The author mentions lions, zebras and water buffalo to show that ______.A.animals fall victim to bigger ones B.the ecology is on the road to recoveryC.animals are corelated in the ecosystem D.species are firmly positioned in the food chain11.What is the text mainly aboutA.What ecologists find about animals.B.Why African lions are endangered.C.How tiny ants affect the way lions hunt.D.How the law of the jungle works in Africa.DAt a conference last week, I received an interesting piece of advice: “Assume you are wrong.” The advice came from Brian Nosek, a fellow psychology professor.He wasn’t objecting to any particular claim I’d made—he was offering a strategy for pursuing better science, and for encouraging others to do the same.To understand the context for Nosek’s advice, we need to take a step back—to the nature of science itself. Despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method.Just as scientific theories change, so do scientific methods.Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires.But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks, and for scientific arguments to develop into personal battles.Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to be viewed as a helpful pointer, a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong—a goal that your critic probably shares.Nosek’s advice may sound pessimistic, but it’s not so foreign to science.Phi losophers of science sometimes refer to the “pessimistic meta-induction(元归纳)” on the history of science: All of our past scientific theories have been wrong, so surely our current theories will turn out to be wrong, too.That doesn’t mean we haven’t made pr ogress, but it does indicate that there is always room for improvement—ways to be less wrong.I like the advice because it builds in an awareness of our limitations anda readiness to accept the unknown(“there are things I do not know!”)along with a sense that we can do better(“there are things I do not know yet!”).It also builds in a sense of community —we’re all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right. Perhaps the focus on a shared goal—our goal as scientists and humans of being less wrong—can help make up for any harm in scientific motivation or communication.12.Why did Nosek send the adviceA.To express opinions about my claims.B.To remind me to be open to criticism.C.To encourage me to take up science.D.To better my understanding of psychology.13.How does assuming you are wrong helpA.It motivates scientists to make efforts.B.It addresses personal attacks and conflicts.C.It sets a constructive improvement goal.D.It contributes to a deeper insight into yourself.14.What does the author think of science theories A.Dynamic.B.Testable.C.Pioneering.D.Well-established.15.Which of the following is the best title for the textA.Accept the Unknown B.Aim to Be Less WrongC.Get Engaged in Psychology D.Dig into the Nature of Science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。

After feeding it on honey from a sunflower, Fluffy recovered but not the use of its wings and has remained with Ms. Pepper ever since.She has been recording the experience on social media. She wrote, “I’m the c razy butterfly lady! I just spent 3 hours playing with him, walking him up and down my fingers and arms, feeding him and even giving him the feeling of flying! He sat on my hand and beat his wings as I moved my hand up and down pretending he was flying!”Ms. Pepper said it was sympathy and empathy that drove her. After battling against cancer twice and keeping herself busy with aid work in Africa, she fell into a “depression” last year.“When I found him helpless and unable to fly, I knew just how he felt. I went through burn-out last year. I wanted to give up… I felt really lonely.”So she decided to help the insect, to which she has become attached.Ms. Pepper even advertised tickets of internationally-famous Cirque du Soleil’s act she had forsale because she thought staying at home to care for Fluffy was more important.Unfortunately, Fluffy won’t be around for long—the lifespan of a butterfly ranges from two to six weeks.But she seemed to care little about it. She wrote on Facebook, “He has a wonderful life and when his time comes, he will die flat and happy and very very loved.”24. What was the butterfly like when Ms. Pepper first saw it?A.

Because she was busy with aid work in Africa.D. Because she suffered from cancer twice and was too weak.27. What was Ms. Pepper’s attitude towards the early death of the butterfly?A. She felt sorry about it.B. She remained calm about it.C. She was rather disappointed with it.D. She had some doubt about it.CSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements(代替物)for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no specialrequirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.28. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A. Playing basketball in a gymB. Motor racing in the desert.C. Cycling around a lake.D. Swimming in a sports center.29. What do we know about golf from the passage?A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.D. It causes water shortages around the world.30. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because__________.A. it uses fewer resourcesB. it improves our healthC. it is an outdoor sportD. it is recommended by experts31. The author writes the passage to __________.A. show us the function of major sportsB. encourage us to go in for green sportsC. discuss the major influence of popular sportsD. introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsDThe poaching, or illegal killing, of rhinos(犀牛) in South Africa is growing worse each year. The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2015, a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before.The World Wildlife Fund, or WWF, says about 20, 000 rhinos live in South Africa. That is more than 80 percent of the rhinos in the world. Edna Molewa, South Africa’s Environment Minister, says, “During 2015,we are sad to say this,1, 215 rhinos were killed. This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1,004 in 2014 and indeed very w orrying.”The animals are hunted for their horns(角). Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power, which drives poachers, at all costs, mad for more horns. But there is no scientific evidence for this belief. The horn is made of keratin(角蛋白).That is the same thing as human hair, fingernails and toenails.Ms. Molewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year, an increase from the year before. But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest. South Africa’s legal system is ineffective. Ms. Mo1ewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos. The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries. “Now approximately 100 rhinos have been mov ed to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2015 and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year,” Molewa said.Jo Shaw, the rhino program manager at the WWF, said, “We’re talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month, or more than three a day. We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally.” She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them. Government officials are to meet in Botswana in March at theInter-governmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade.32. According to paragraph 2, we know__________.A. Half of rhinos live in South Africa.B. Less than 1,000 rhinos were killed in 2014.C. The killing in 2015 was more than that in 2014.D. There are only 20,000 rhinos left in the world.33.What is the main reason for people to hunt rhinos?A. To get more keratin.B. To protect the farmland.C. To use them for decoration.D. To make money from horns34. Jo Shaw thinks that__________.A. many criminal groups are well organizedB. new laws are needed to punish the killersC. rhino protection needs international cooperationD. conferences about protecting rhinos are to be held every year35. What can we infer from the text?A. Rhino protection has a long way to go.B. No one would like to buy horns in the future.C. The illegal killing of rhinos will soon disappear.D. Rhinos living in South Africa will move to other countries.第二节:(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文的内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项Penguins are birds. 36 . These animals get their food from under the water and take care of their young on dry land. Quite interesting, isn’t it? Now let’s take a look at some more penguin facts that you will surely find interesting.37 . This means that you are likely to find penguins in such places as Antarctica, South Africa, South America, Galapagos Island, and New Zealand. In other words, no penguin lives on the North Pole.38 .

On the other hand, Galapagos penguins are the species with the lowest population. They are considered as the endangered species with a population of between 6,000 and 15,000. Standing at nearly four feet tall, Emperor is the tallest species among all the penguin species.Penguins feed on meat. Their food includes squids, fish, shrimp, krill and other animals found in oceans. Those living closer to the equator eat a lot more fish, while penguins living near Antarctica eat a lot more krill and squid. 39 . They use their long strong beaks to catch food, and eat it completely without chewing(咀嚼).Penguins living in cold condition have an extra layer of fat. This layer is found under their skin.40 .
