They check people’s vital signs,such as blood pressure and glucose(葡萄糖)levels,and provide the medical team with timely data for assessing how to move forward with care and treatment, especially for those whose health is at risk.In the future,Boateng wants to broaden the reach of his efforts to deliver medical services, not only to Ghana’s remote regions but also to other nations across the globe.“I believe that our model can be copied in Sub-Saharan Africa,”he said.“So,the goal is to really develop strategic partnerships and get additional mobile health vans for the communities or the regions that we want to serve.”24.What motivated Boateng to launch the OKB Hope Foundation?A.The drive to raise people’s awareness of health.B.The barrier to basic health care in his community.C.The dream of impressing his family members and neighbors.D.The hope of creating jobs for medical professionals in Ghana.25.Why does the author mention Abraham in paragraph4?A.To judge the service of the mobile clinic.B.To describe the current situation of the citizens.C.To imply the positive impact of the mobile clinic.D.To show the mobile clinic has served many people.26.What role do the local health advocates play?A.They help the doctors to analyze data.B.They assist patients to get their medicine.C.They keep the medical facilities in good condition.D.They examine the patients before further treatment.27.What is Boateng’s long-term vision for the OKB Hope Foundation?A.To expand the mobile clinic service beyond his country.B.To work with other nations to promote his organization.C.To establish a national health insurance system in Ghana.D.To build a large hospital in every rural community in Ghana.CFor the past20years,I’ve searched libraries and the Internet for others who are thinking about the possible effect of the breakdown of multigenerational families.I’ve been surprised at how few resources exist on this topic.It’s the main reason I chose to finally write Family Revision.While I’ve expected one of the countless marriage and family writers and thinkers to address this topic,none seem to really understand that the transition(转变)from multigenerational families to nuclear families is at the root of so many of the other symptoms they discuss.Well,the silence on this topic was finally broken and it was not from a traditional family publication but from David Brooks,The New York Times columnist writing for The Atlantic.In an article nearly the length of a dissertation on this subject,Brooks masterfully exposes the root problem with the modern family.In the article,Brooks wrote,“When we discuss the problems the country is facing,we don’t talk about family enough.It feels too judgmental,too uncomfortable,and maybe even too religious.But the fact is that the nuclear family has been crumbling in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems—with education,mental health,and the quality of the labor force—stem from that breakdown.We have left behind the family structure of the past.For most people it’s not coming back.”Many Americans are hungering to live in multigenerational families,in the way that is new and ancient at the same time.This is a significant opportunity,a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships,a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes,and be caught,when they fall,by a dozen pairs of arms.For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables,with fewer and fewer relatives.It’s time to find ways to bring back the big tables.28.Which word can best describe the breakdown of multigenerational families?A.Damaging.B.Extraordinary.C.Meaningful.D.Ineffective.29.What does the author think of Brooks’article?A.It’s a tradition.B.It’s a victory.C.It’s a comparison.D.It’s a breakthrough.30.What does the underlined word“crumbling”in paragraph4mean?A.developingB.failingC.collapsingD.establishing31.What is the author’s attitude to the structure of multigenerational families?A.Dismissive.B.Approving.C.Unclear.D.Doubtful.DIf you use the internet,you’ve probably heard of a filter bubble(过滤气泡).Internet sites and social media platforms use algorithms(算法)that show you content based on your previous interactions,likes,and shares.Over time,this creates a filter bubble where you only see content that agrees with your interests and beliefs,which serves to convince you that your beliefs are true. But what you might not know is that in similar fashion,your brain has several mechanisms to filter information,creating personal filter bubbles that deeply shape how you live your life.Self-created filter bubbles happen through various cognitive processes,and they have multiple consequences.They shape your experience of what’s happening by forming a lens(镜片) through which you see and interpret the world.On the internet,because things are being presented based on past user history,no two people get the same results when they search for something on the internet or open their news feed.In real life,no two people are experiencing an event or seeing a situation in the exact same way,because we all bring our own past expe r iences and biases(偏见) to situations,causing us to process them differently.Filter bubbles can cause you to stay stuck in self-created and often self-limiting patterns of thought and behavior.If you’ve ever wondered why change is so hard,it’s because your mental filter bubbles make it difficult to see different possibilities.If you hold the belief that you’re not someone who can have a high-paying job,you won’t look for one and you’ll only seek out and see jobs that match up with what you think you’re worth.Filter bubbles can also prevent critical thinking and can lead to a limited and biased view of the world,where people don’t consider alternative viewpoints and don’t engage with others outside of their own circles.When we only consume information that confirms our preexisting beliefs and values,we don’t question the truth of that information or properly evaluate the evidence.While you can’t prevent your brain from creating selective filter bubbles,you can become more aware so that you don’t have to be limited or trapped by them.32.What can we learn about filter bubbles?A.They shape our interpretations of the world.B.They have changed the way we view ourselves.C.They are frequent occurrences and have little effect on us.D.They assist us in making friends with like-minded individuals.33.How do filter bubbles impact individuals’ability to embrace change?A.They facilitate open-mindedness and flexibility.B.They make individuals resistant to new opportunities.C.They help individuals adapt quickly to new situations.D.They prevent individuals from successfully securing a job.34.What might the author continue talking about?A.Examples of creating filter bubbles.B.Barriers to overcoming filter bubbles.C.Ways of escaping from filter bubbles.D.Benefits of recognizing filter bubbles.35.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The dangers of bias in information consumption.B.The influence of past experiences on our worldview.C.The benefits of social media algorithms on our mind.D.The impact of filter bubbles on shaping our perception.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。

My Airbnb had enough room for us all. So when my parents brought it up as a half-joke that they would come, too, I didn't think it was unreasonable.I was merely 8 when we embarked on our immigration journey. Korea was their country. They wouldn't need me there as they did in Canada. But the first week proved to be rough. We were upside down with the time change. My father announced that the first thing they wanted to do was visit my grandma's grave (坟墓) . We had discussed visiting a few relatives, but going to grandma's grave had never come up. It was starting: family obligations seized my work time. "You guys go, I said. While my father showered, my mother took me aside. "Your dad has always been counting the days for the moment when he can show her how well you grew up. "I laughed but I was deeply moved. So I decided to accompany them.As we approached the graveyard, I gathered some colored wildflowers from the parking lot and tied them with a long piece of grass. My parents got busy weeding around the headstone. "Your name is on the back, my father said. "See here?" I looked, and there was my Korean name carved beside those of my siblings and cousins. It felt odd to see our names on the headstone all of us, the living and dead, connected. I saw a link in a chain that stretches generations back.I didn't know how to tell them that the trip was amazing. I realized how I was intertwined with them, and they were interwoven into me. We don't belong to languages or countries. My grandma died only four months before we moved to Canada, when she was too frail (虚弱的) to make the trip. I hope she knows that we did take her, and that maybe all we have is each other.4．What was the main reason for the author's trip to Seoul?A. To visit grandma's graveyard.B. To have a family reunion.C. To work on a project.D. To accompany his parents.5．Why did the author initially decline to visit his grandma's grave?A. He was exhausted from the flight.B. He had work commitments.C. He liked visiting other relatives better.D. He preferred exploring alone.6．Why did the author's father want to take him to grandma's grave?A. To introduce the author to relatives.B. To fulfil a long-awaited wish.C. To observe a family ceremony.D. To help with weeding.7．What did the author realize during the trip?A. Never forget our home country.B. Family is a bridge to our future.C. The world is one big family.D. Home is the bond with people.Humans eat an astonishing amount of meat every year-some 800 billion pounds of it, enough flesh to fill roughly 28 million dump trucks. Our desire for meat, particularly in industrialized countries like the United States, is one reason why the planet is warming as fast as it is. Raising animals consumes a lot of land that could otherwise soak up carbon. Cows. sheep, and goats give out heat-trapping methane (甲烷) . And to grow the corn, soy, and other plants that those animals eat, farmers spray fertilizer that emits nitrous oxide (一氧化二氮) , another planet-warming gas.Cutting out meat sounds like an effective approach. But what would happen if everyone actually stopped eating meat tomorrow? Such a quick shift probably wouldn't cause the sortconsequence could be quite chaotic, causing different problems.Researchers say the economic damage caused by the sudden disappearance of meat would fall disproportionately on low-income countries with farming economies, like Niger or Kenya, where farming and raising livestock are critical sources of income. Getting rid of livestock overnight would not only deprive many people of essential nutrients, but also threaten food security, especially in regions like South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Besides, there's the issue of cultural damage. Taking away meat, according to Wilson Warren, a history professor at Western Michigan University, would do more than just deprive Americans of hot dogs and hamburgers and Italians of salami.Rejecting meat entirely, let alone immediately, isn't an ideal solution to the climate crisis. Dutkiewicz, a political economist at the Pratt Institute, suggested using guidelines established by the EAT-Lancet Commission, an international group of scientists who have designed a diet intended to give people the nutrients they need without destroying the planet.8．What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A. Feeding animals costs more than growing plants.B. The USA consumes the most meat annually.C. Meat consumption may increase global warming.D. Fertilizer should be banned around the world.9．What does the underlined word "turmoil" mean in paragraph 2?A. Prediction.B. Disorder.C. Pollution.D. Shortage. 10．Abandoning meat immediately might lead to ______.A. the global crisisB. improved well-beingC. cultural diversityD. food safety issues11．What might the author continue talking about?A. The declining meat industry.B. Specific diet suggestions.C. Global climate crisis.D. Farmers' protest.One of the world's greenest office buildings will formally open its doors this week. It's a project of the environmentally progressive Bullitt Foundation. Its ambition is bold: to showcase an entirely self-sustaining office building hoping that others will create similar projects.The first thing that strikes you about the new Bullitt Center is an emphasis on walking. "In a building this size, any place else in Seattle it would have two elevators. Here, the stairway is obvious and attractive," says Denis Hayes, CEO of the foundation. He explains there is an elevator, but it's well-hidden. The staircase encourages exercise and the concept helps cut down on energy use.This is one of dozens of visionary decisions that went into this building. "It has eyes, ears, a nervous system and a brain and it responds to its environment in a way that seeks to optimize (优化) things," he says. He points across the street to a mini weather station. It sends data to the building so it can decide what it should do to conserve energy."I think it's fair to say we were all a bit skeptical in the beginning, "says Chris Rogers, the founder of a firm in cooperation with the foundation. Rogers and the others set out to meet the ambitious goals of the Living Building Challenge, a green building standard set by local architects.Clearly this building is not for everyone. If you think of it as simply an office building, it was relatively pricey to design and build. But if you view it as a laboratory, an educational center and a bold effort to change how things are built, the calculation changes.Still, one could wonder, is it possible to build more with similar self-sustaining features at a reasonable cost? "If this building isn't reproducible, then this experiment will have failed, says Rogers. But if it is successful, he's optimistic others will follow the foundation's lead. Rogers points out that over the past couple of decades, many builders have been integrating green elements into their buildings.12．What motivates the designers to highlight the stairway?A. To beautify the building.B. To offer convenience.C. To hide the elevator.D. To conserve energy.13．Which description best summarizes the Bullitt Center according to paragraph 3?A. A living organism.B. A first responder.C. A brain system.D. A data base.14．Which argument does Chris Rogers hold probably?A. It is reasonable to hold doubt in the building's future.B. The building has been inspired by previous efforts.C. The reproduction of the building is crucial.D. The building stands for a progressive force.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Look Inside The World's Greenest BuildingB. The Outlook For Green Buildings Is PromisingC. How Can We Build More Green Buildings?D. Will This Super Green Building Be Copied?二、七选五16．Those who consciously focus on each inhalation (吸气) and exhalation (呼气) could gain some impressive health benefits, especially for those that struggle with meditation (冥想) .A new controlled study among 108 participants (divided into two groups: breathing and meditation) found that over the course of a month, five minutes of daily breath techniques provided similar benefits to mood and anxiety as five minutes of meditation.①______The study suggests breathing exercises may be a more "effective and powerful" mental health tool than meditation in the treatment of anxiety.②______Those who spent five minutes working on their breath each day showed the most stress relief at the end of the month, with day-on-day improvements in their mental and physiological health.What's more, the study tested three different breathing techniques. ③______Participants who were asked to practice cyclic sighing-when exhalations are pronounced and prolonged-showed greater improvements than those who were asked to practice box breathing-when inhalation, a pause, and exhalation all match in duration—or cyclic hyperventilation (强力呼吸)—when inhalations are longer and exhalations are shorter.Previous studies have shown that inhalations increase heart rate while exhalations decrease it. Perhaps that's why cyclic sighing is so effective in relaxing the body and mind. Box breathing, on the other hand, is often used by military personnel to remain calm. ④______As humans, we never fully have control over our bodies. ⑤______ Practicing a moment of control, even simply to sigh, could be just what the doctor ordered.A. One of them seemed to perform the best.B. That is a reality which shouldn't go unnoticed.C. Each of the techniques showed the same benefit.D. Cyclic hyperventilation, on occasion, is used to relieve panic.E. In fact, participants from the breathing group were even better off.F. During the study, participants reported on their mood and vital signs.G. There's something about controlled breathing that seems to set it apart.三、完形填空（15空）Power of Perseverance (毅力)When David was in high school, he faced bullying (欺负) from his schoolmates, whichovercoming his difficulties.After graduation, David had a dream of becoming a successful businessman.

We are people, also known as humans. This makes us different from most of the things on Earth. "This fairly straightforward observation is the opening spread of Like, written by Annie Barrows. It establishes a somewhat odd yet matter-of-fact tone with a young boy addressing the reader.following spread, which carefully thinks about the ways in which people are different from one specific thing on Earth, "We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans. "The target audience will no doubt be amused, as was I, and perhaps reassured.Like next matches people with the swimming pools, "We are a little bit more like a swimming pool than a tin can. We have water and chemicals and dirt inside us. But unlike a swimming pool we don't have people splashing around inside us. "Mushrooms, we learn, differ from tin cans and swimming pools by being alive, and by growing and reproducing-human traits, too! Mushrooms, however, don't have mouths and brains. But wait: Hyenas have all that. "They run around really fast, like we do... But hyenas don't say words. They don't tell stories. They don't get embarrassed, even when they're caught eating something off the ground.Where to go from there? "Look at all these people, the text exclaims over the illustration full of people of seemingly every size, shape, color, age and means of mobility. "They are not exactly like us. But they are more like us than they are different.""I am more like you than I am like most of the things on Earth, the narrator concludes. "I'm glad. I'd rather be like you than a mushroom"-an appealing and inarguable understanding.4．What does the underlined word "quizzical" mean in the second paragraph?A. Definite.B. Consistent.C. Unusual.D. Ambiguous. 5．According to the passage, which of the following is most like humans?A. Hyenas.B. Tin cans.C. Mushrooms.D. Swimming pools. 6．How is the writer's idea mainly developed in the passage?A.

A story entry.C. A philosophical textbook.D. A book review.The hens look up at me from their nesting boxes. They seem slightly annoyed but unsurprised. A child runs up, pushes one of the chickens aside, and snatches two eggs. Around me, a half-dozen more children and adults collect eggs while a half-dozen others hand-feed dried mealworms to birds flocking around our ankles. I reach for an egg from an empty nest. There is something perfect about the way it fits warmly in the palm of my hand before I transfer it into a pretty wire basket provided to me by my hosts.The egg harvest is a brief, carefully designed agritourism experience offering an experience of the labor rather than just having a bite of food. Snatching a few eggs and uprooting a few vegetables on the farm tour don't constitute a full day's work, but it is also a useful reminder that food doesn't just magically appear on restaurant plates and grocery store shelves. Of course, visitors can take those eggs home or bring them to the on-farm restaurant, Clay, where a chef will use them to prepare breakfast.A few centuries of industrialization, urbanization, and globalization have collected people into cities, but the attraction of the countryside has always remained. In the new urban-centered world, enterprising farmers have found plenty of opportunities to sell their rural lifestyle along with their crops. Italy promoted the modern model for combining agriculture and tourism in the wake of World War II, when the national government encouraged rural populations to continue producing food rather than move to urban areas in search of more profitable jobs.Agritourism acts as an umbrella term for a wide variety of activities that take place on farms, including farmstays, where guests sleep on-site. For varying investments of time, energy, and money, anyone can engage in our farming system, giving consumers a peek behind the farm-to-table world.8．Why does the author describe children and adults collecting eggs in the beginning?A. To introduce agritourism.B. To describe the use of eggs.C. To show the innocence of the children.D. To emphasize the happiness of the children and adults.9．What is accessible to consumers in agritourism activities?A. Engaging in planting vegetables in person.B. Doing some simple but meaningful farm-work.C. Enjoying some self-made egg products on the farm.D. Clarifying the farm-to-table concept through practice.10．What can you learn from the last two paragraphs?A. The appeal of rural life gradually fade away due to industrialization.B. The desire to search for more well-paid jobs accelerated the speed of agritourism.C. Italian government's calls contributed a lot to the trend of moving from villages to cities.D. Promising farmers were dedicated to promoting their lifestyle along with agricultural products.11．What is the author's attitude toward agritourism?A. Doubtful.B. Dismissive.C. Supportive.D. Sympathetic.Chinese scientists have created a breakthrough fibre that can be woven into warm, lightweight clothing using aerogel, a thermal insulation (热绝缘) material mainly used in the aerospace industry.Aerogel, notable for their performance and durability, could have various applications. As the world's lightest solid material, it has long been valued for its thermal insulation properties. Traditional aerogel, made by replacing the liquid in aerogel with air, is extraordinarily light, resembling a solid cloud of smoke. Its high porosity (多孔性) gives it exceptional heat resistance, but this also makes it fragile and challenging to process, limiting its use in civilian applications.But now, researchers at Zhejiang University have overcome aerogel's fragility and designed an encapsulated aerogel fibre ( EAF) with similar thermal insulation mechanisms-after being inspired by the structure of polar bear hair.The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation as well as Nasa have used EAF in Mars rovers, which endure extreme temperatures ranging from thousands of degrees during the Martian landing to -130 degrees Celsius -202 degrees Fahrenheit on the planet'ssurface.In an experiment, a volunteer wore textiles (纺织品) made of EAF, down, wool, and cotton in a-20 degree Celsius environment. The surface temperatures of these materials were 3.5 degrees, 3.8 degrees, 7.2 degrees, and 10. 8 degrees respectively, indicating the superior insulation of EAF. They showed the practicality of EAF by weaving a jumper and comparing its thermal insulation to common textile materials.As well as being strong and stretchable, EAF can also be washed and dyed, improving its use in practical applications. Traditional silica aerogel will absorb water and collapse on itself. As a result, it quickly loses its thermal insulation qualities in wet or humid environments. However, EAF maintains its performance even after machine washing.Professor Zhang Xuetong of the Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-bionics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, highlighted the potential of the aerogel fibres in advanced thermal textiles. As well as its potential for civilian use, EAF fibre also holds promise for industries that are already familiar with aerogels. "EAF textiles feature excellent thermal insulation and multifunction and have great potential in areas such as military uniforms and spacesuits in extremely cold environments, "professor Zhang noted in a paper. However, he also noted the gap between existing technology and capacity for mass production. "Challenges exist regarding how to develop fast spinning technology and resolve the continuous fabrication that is necessary for mass production.12．What is the characteristic of traditional aerogel?A. It can be easily processed.B. It is resistant to high temperatures.C. It is a solid cloud of smoke.D. It can effectively insulate electricity. 13．What is EAF's advantage in enduring extreme temperature based on?A. Research statistics.B. Public comments.C. Scientific prediction.D. Commercial reports.14．Professor Zhang Xuetong's study found that mass production could be possible if？A. advancement is made in thermal textilesB. there exists need for continuous fabricationC. barriers in fast spinning technology are overcomeD. aerogel's strengths and weaknesses get balanced15．What is the text mainly about?A. The development of aerogel fibre.B. The potential use of biomimetic fibre.C. Great breakthrough in aerospace industry.D. China's newly-woven clothing made from aerogel.二、七选五16．Have you ever noticed how some people can effortlessly talk to anyone they meet, no matter how different their backgrounds are? Or have you seen that one person who always offends someone, no matter what the topic of conversation is? These two scenes show how we can differ in our abilities to interact, get along with, and relate to others around us. ①After years of academic research and development, this social competency is now commonly referred to as "social intelligence". Do you want to improve your social intelligence? Here are great ideas with which to get started.Listen well and pay attentionPractice active listening so that you can fully engage and communicate with others. ②It is natural to want to respond to that text message that pops up on your phone immediately, even when you're in the middle of a face-to-face conversation. Give people your full attention when speaking with them. ③Watch out for body language④ Even if they aren't saying so, their feelings are truly revealed. Try to tune in to what the other person is saying "physically". In the same way, be aware of your own body language and how you are presenting yourself. If you slouch and appear physically uninterested during a conversation, it may make the speakers lose confidence in what they are saying, resulting in a negative interaction.Show that you careIf you sense that someone is upset, or if someone tells you they are going through some difficulties, show them you truly care. ⑤A. Life is often fast paced, with many digital distractions.B. Often, people's gestures will tell us a great deal about how they are feeling.C. Sharing other people's feelings can help you connect at a more meaningful level.D. People like to feel heard, and it will help you develop worthwhile relationships.E. The speaker fails to deliver a clear and objective message during his presentation.F. Engaging in a meaningful conversation can reduce loneliness and help reconnect with others.G. In the same way that we vary in traditional academic competencies, we can vary in how socially competent we are.三、完形填空（15空）By the time he was 24 years old, Imran Nuri quit his job in a bold move, and emptied hisunfamiliar people.

November.BEvery so often, 31-year-old Chen Jiawen, a product designer at a technology company in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, sets aside a day for herself called Unplug Day. On this day, she disconnects from the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences. In the morning, she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music. In the afternoon, she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening, they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones, engaged in deep conversation. Upon returning home, she spends the evening reading.Chen started the plan as she often felt “interrupted” by technology, ci ting moments of distraction (分心) like pop-up notifications, ring tones and repetitious warnings leading her to check for new messages, and feelings of information ov erload. “Occasionallydisconnecting from the network is like feeding the brain a day of vegetarian food,” Chen said. Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus. In addition to this, she has started replacing short videos with longer ones and prioritizes reading in-depth news articles or books. “When friends gather and everyone is glued to their phones, it makes me uncomfortable,” Chen said, adding that burying herself in social media prevented her from completing work as planned, leading to psychological burdens and a decreasing focus.It’s become a common situation where modern people might unconsciously use the time spent waiting at traffic lights to watch a short video or constantly check out a trending topic upon receiving a push notification from an app. To prevent this sense of being “controlled” by mobile devices, some young Chinese like Chen are experimenting with digital minimalism and are discovering positive outcomes from their efforts. Technology should bring us joy, not reduce the time we spend with family or increase our anxiety. Our goal is to control technology rather than letting it control us.4. What can we learn about Unplug DayA. It is a day for reading.B. It is a day without phones.C. It is a day away from the Internet.D. It is a day to spend withfriends.5. What does the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 2 meanA. Range.B. Cancel.C. Obtain.D. Prevent.6. What is the direct impact of over-involvement in social mediaA. Tasks’ delays.B. Stress from peers.C. Mental problems.D. A decreasing focus.7. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraphA. Enjoy the benefits of technology.B. Decrease the time spent on digital devices.C. Remove the apps informing new messages.D. Watch longer videos while waiting at traffic lights.CHoney is a simple pleasure. It’s easy to forget, while enjoying its luxurious sweetness on a slice of buttered toast, that it is the end-product of a complicated production line involving advanced biological machinery and thousands of skilled workers.Honey starts out as nectar (花蜜), a solution of various sugars that flowering plants produce to attract insects like butterflies and all kinds of bees. Most of these visitors drink it down on the spot as nutrition for themselves. A food-hunting worker bee, though, does things differently. The bee stores the nectar in its honey stomach rather than digesting it. The stomach can hold a lot of nectar, up toalmost half the bee’s unloa ded body mass, and filling it may require a thousand flower visits. The transformation of nectar into honey begins while the bee is still on the wing, as the honey stomach produces enzymes (酶) that break down the larger, complex sugar molecule (分子) into smaller ones.On arrival back at the hive, where bees live and work, the bee unloads the nectar by giving the sugary solution to other workers, who pass it back and forth between each other, adding more enzymes each time. Once it is sufficiently sticky, the mixture is laid down in the beeswax cells of the honeycomb and the workers continue the drying process by fanning it with their wings. Only when the water content has been reduced to about 18 percent (from about 75 percent in the original nectar) do they seal the cells with beeswax lids. At this point , it is well and truly honey.An average hive produces about 11 kg of honey in a season, which requires the bees to fly over 1.5 million kilometers between them. A standard jar of honey requires about 80,000 km. The effort that has gone into making honey is worth remembering when spreading it onto toast —it can surely only add to the pleasure.8. Why does the worker bee store the nectar in its stomachA. To digest better.B. To absorb its nutrition.C. To keep it for its future food.D. To share it with other bees.9. What can be inferred from paragraph 3A. The cells are sealed by sticky solution.B. Producing honey requires teamwork.C. The drying work is done by female bees.D. It’s critical to maintain water percentage.10. How is the last paragraph developedA. By listing figures.B. By giving definitions.C. By making comparisons.D. By providing examples.11. Which may be a suitable title for the textA. Skilled WorkersB. A Simple PleasureC. Advanced and Intelligent CreaturesD. Luxurious Sweetness from Delicate WorkDTitled “A new future of work: The race to deploy (部署) AI and raise skills in Europe and beyond”, the report highlights the potential for AI to transform the global workforce by 2030, China Media Group reported on Sunday.The report suggests that generative AI could automate nearly one-third of working hours in the US and Europe, leading to a polarization of the labor market. High-skilled, high-wage jobs may face talent shortages, while low-wage industries could experience asurplus (剩余) of labor. The percentage of high-wage jobs is expected to rise by 1.8 percent, while low-wage jobs may decrease by 1.4 percent. Germany, according to the report, is projected to have around 3 million jobs affected by AI by 2030, representing 7 percent of its total employment. Office jobs in administrative sectors of companies and public institutions are expected to be hit the hardest, accounting for 54 percent of all AI-impacted positions. In addition, the report stresses the importance of upskilling and reskilling the workforce to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, suggesting that individuals can adapt by actively participating in training programs. McKinsey researchers call on manager s to invest heavily in employee education and training, saying that without a significant improvement in the skill levels of the workforce, AI cannot fully release its potential.The rapid development and widespread application of AI are unavoidable trends, and the potential risks and issues must be addressed through development. Improving the governance system is not about restricting AI development but promoting its healthy growth. It is essential to establish a legal and policy framework suited to the development. The necessities are highlighted that a policy environment should be created which is beneficial to AI research, development, and application and thesafety responsibilities and accountability mechanisms for AI systems should be clarified, ensuring trackability and repairability of responsible parties.12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly aboutA. The threats posed by AI.B. The future workforce training.C. The advantages of AI workforce.D. The potential effect of AI on workforce.13. What is emphasized to meet the challengeA. Education and training.B. Skills of management.C. Government investment.D. Policy and opportunities.14. What is the author’s attitude towards AI developmentA. Unclear.B. Dismissive.C. Objective.D. Doubtful.15. Which column of a news website may the text be taken fromA. Fashion.B. Health.C. Technology.D. Service.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。

Learning the history of the train line.BSanding on the shore of a lake, I can't help but marvel at the tens or hundreds of thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time.And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks?Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1.000 years ago. And much like a rock. I've found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.Once I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I’m less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together.But I’m not a rock. I’m a human-being filled with all the drama built into my DNA.Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask a guy to leave for not falling in line with the rules. Not forceful and net rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don't like it either, but let's all do what we can.” But the guy tried to argue about the note.I sat watching. understanding both sides. I’ve been this guy before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow by looking through others' eyes, and thus the possibility of finding content and success.You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others. Time. like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another's point of view.I placed a rounded stone into my pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again.24. What does the author compare the rocks to?A. People with varied personalities.B. DNA unique to each person.C. Challenges that we come across.D. Our abilities that grows with time.25.What caused the argument in the restaurant?A. Lack of clarity in the sign.B. The owner's inappropriate attitude.C. Demanding restaurant requests.D. The guy's failing to obey the rules.26. Which best describes the author's attitude toward the world when he was young?A. Respectful.B. Aggressive.C. Ambiguous.D. Tolerant.27. What does the author try to convey through this text?A. We should adjust ourselves to new conditions.B. Be brave when in the face of difficulties in life.C. It’s necessary to obey the rules in public spaces.D. Being open and understanding brings satisfaction.CResearchers at the University of Exeter in England have crafted a device that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to detect Asian wasps (黄蜂). AI refers to the capability of computers to learn from experiences and execute tasks swiftly that would typically require a significant time investment from humans.Asian wasps are considered an invasive species. indicating that they are not native to the UK and can disrupt our ecosystem ---- the environment and its living organisms. These wasps feed on local insects and pose a significant threat to honey bees with a single wasp capable of killing up to 50 honey bees in a day.The innovative system, named VespAI, uses a sponge cloth soaked with a liquid that attracts wasps. Once the wasps are drawn in an automatic camera takes pictures of them. The AI then analyzes the photos to determine whether the insect is an Asian wasp or a European wasp, which is a native species.If an Asian wasp is spotted, a notification is sent right away to the researcher’s phone or computer. VespAI acts as an early-warning system, allowing for the detection of any Asian wasps that may have entered a new area of the UK. Its high precision helps authorities respond quickly to follow the wasps, find their nests, and get rid of them before they can reproduce.There is growing concern among experts that Asian wasps may have made a lasting home in the UK rather than being merely transient or accidental arrivals. Currently, the UK’s way of dealing with Asian wasps depends on people seeing them, recognizing them, and reporting them. However, many of these reports tum out to be other kinds of insects, which is not a very effective way to handle the situation.Dr. Thomas O'Shea-Wbeller, who worked on VespAI, said this new system won't mistake, other insects for Asian wasps or miss them when they come around. VespAI has been tested on the island of Jersey and will be tried in other places this year.28. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?A. VespAI’s design and operation.B. The effectiveness of wasps traps.C. VespAI’s influence on ecosystem.D. Traditional wasp detecting methods.29. What does the underlined word “transient” mean in paragraph5?A. Widespread.B. Temporary.C. Frequent.D. Dangerous.30. Which statement Would Dr. Thomas probably agree with?A.VespAI will help manage wasp invasions.B. VespAI requires constant human inspection.C. The current reporting system is highly effective.D. The current methods fail to identify Asian wasps.31.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. AI Disrupts the Survival of InsectsB. The Threat of Asian Wasps to BeesC. AI Technology Boosts Wasp DetectionD. The Impact of Al on Insect IdentificationDThe book has a unique status as a symbol of human culture and civilization. It is a vehicle for sharing stories, spreading knowledge, examining the nature of our extraordinary species and imagining what lies beyond our familiar world. As Carlyle suggests, books ultimately provide an invaluable and comprehensive record of what it means to be human.This volume(选集) takes a list of fifty of the most influential books of all time, putting each into is historical context. From ancient game-changers like The Epic of Gilgamesh and The liad, through sacred texts and works of philosophical reflection by the likes of Confucius and Plato, via scientific essays, historic “firsts” and cultural works of enduring impact, these are volumes that are at once both products of their societies and vital texts in influencing those same civilizations.What this selection isn't is a celebration of the literary canon (精品), a reaffirmation of the “best” books from the past. You will find no Austen or Dickens here, nor Dostoyevsky or Garcia Marquez. There is Shakespeare and Cervantes and Tolstoy, but not because they are somehow “better” than those others. Rather, this collection aims to select books that reflect the passage of human history. Most not only reflect, though, but themselves changed how we think and live. By definition, they are “important” works and, in broad critical terms, “great” works too. But this book is not concerned with which works are the greatest of all - there are plenty of other volumes that try to figure that out, and good luck to them.Unavoidably, making a selection such as this is highly subjective. In selecting fifty titles, we can only hope to dip our toe into the vast pool of literature from ages gone by. In doing so, it is foolish to make any claim for definiteness(确定性). Instead, we are playing a literary game. Which of the fifty choices are undeniable? Which are taking a place better deserved by some other works? Everyone will have their own ideas. In the end, it matters little that we all agree. More important is that by turning our minds to the question in the first place, we might meet some unfamiliar works, revisit some old favorites and gain some insight and pleasure in the process.32.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. Criteria for selecting important books.B. The types of books included in the list.C. The role of influential books in history.D. Books as a record of human civilization.33.What accounts for the 50 books being selected for the volume?A. Their high literary quality and awards.B. Their popularity and widespread influence.C. Their reflection of human history and impact.D. Their inclusion in traditional literary collections.34.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. The appreciation of literature is a game for us.B. Literature is too complicated for us to explore.C. The selecting process is subjective and flexible.D. Literary works selection is based on definite claims.35.What is the ultimate goal of presenting the list of 50 books?A. To seek agreement on literature.B. To encourage literary exploration.C. To determine the most influential books.D. To observe a specific literary tradition.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。

The unusual movie about a Chinese-American immigrant (移民的) family won seven Oscars, including three acting awards for Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis.The Malaysian-born Yeoh became the first Asian woman to win a best actress Oscar. In the film, she plays the laundromat (自助洗衣店) owner with superpowers in a different universe. "For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon (灯塔) of hope and possibilities, "the 60-year-old actress said. "And ladies, don't let anybody ever tell you you're past your prime (黄金期) , "Yeoh added.As a boy, Quan starred in the 1984 Indiana Jones movie and The Goonies in 1985.

She often beats her rivals by tens of seconds, breaking records. Her success is based on three things. One is natural talent. Another is relentless training. And the third is biology. Although she identifies as a woman, Ms Thomas was born male.On the eve of her biggest competition, Ms Thomas finds herself at the centre of the bad-tempered debate about whether trans women—males who identify as women-should compete in women's sports. That, in turn, is part of a broader argument: should biological facts sometimes override people's deeply held feelings about their identities? This newspaper believes it is almost always unfair to allow transgender women to compete in women's sports. The advantages bestowed by male puberty (青春期) are so big that no amount of training or talent can enable female athletes to overcome them.Florence Griffith Joyner's 100-metres world sprinting record has stood for three decades.A male matching it would not even make it to the Olympics, let alone the final. Much of the male advantage is granted by testosterone (睾酮, 睾丸素) , a powerful anabolic steroid (合成类胆固醇) whose levels rise sharply in male puberty. For many years many sporting bodies, following the lead of the International Olympic Committee, hoped to cope with the issue by allowing trans-women to compete in women's events provided they took testosterone-testosterone in adults, it seems, does little to undo the advantages granted by a male adolescence.Sports must therefore choose between inclusion and fairness；and they should choose fair play. That does not mean that trans-women would be barred from all sport. One way to make that clear would be to replace the "men's" and "women's" categories with "open" and "female" ones. The first would be open to all comers. The second would be restricted on the basis of biology.Sport is public, and results can be measured objectively. That means the argument that the material facts of biology should sometimes outrank a person's subjective sense of identityis easier to make. But it applies in other areas, too.8．What is the text talking about?A.Men has many advantages over women.B.Fairness should be guaranteed in sport.C.Whether transwomen-males should be allowed to compete in women sports.D.How to dismiss the unfairness between transwomen-males and women.9．What does the underlined word suppressing in para.3 mean?A.dampenB.balanceC.increaseD.encourage10．Which one is not true according to the text?A.A man who doesn't make it to the Olympic may set a record in women sport.B.Transgenders should not be allowed in sports.C.Fairness matters more than inclusion in the sport.D.Many advantages of males are due to testosterone.11．What will be talked about in the continuous part?A.How to deal with the unfairness between transgenders and females.B.Other factors that cause trans women-males' performances to override women's.C.Other fields that is suitable for the argument that the material facts of biology should sometimes outrank a person's subjective sense of identity.D.Other authorities' attitude to the fairness in sport.Chinese scientists have built a chamber to simulate (模仿) the conditions on the surface of the moon to help make preparations for future lunar exploration.The specially designed vacuum chamber is equipped with an electron gun to negatively charge dust, deuterium lights to produce ultraviolet (紫外的) rays to generate low-voltage positive electrical charge, and a vibrating screen (振动筛) designed to simulate flying dust. Scientists at the vacuum chamber have made similar dust particles (颗粒) with similar features to those on the moon. These elements together produce a chamber which can test materials and items in simulated lunar conditions.The facility was developed by the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) , based in the city of Harbin in Heilongjiang province in northeast China. "The comprehensive lunar surface simulator, which can simulate many environments which are very close to the real state on the moon, helps us understand the lunar dust formation process in such an environment and its effects on spacecraft, spacesuits and astronauts and prepare us for acrewed moon landing in the future" said Li Liyi, dean (院长) of the HIT's Institute of Space Environment and Material Science. "At the experiment chamber, we can simulate six major kinds of environmental factors. It is an experiment facility that can simulate the most environmental factors and has the comprehensive performance most similar to the real space environment in the world, "Li added.A leading Chinese lunar scientist said that China is working to land astronauts on the moon before 2030.The country is actively working on the hardware needed for the mission, including a new launch vehicle, a new generation spacecraft for crew and a lunar lander.A representative from the China Aerospace Scienceand Technology Corporation, the country's main space contractor, presented an animated film earlier this year giving an impression of what the future Chinese crewed lunar landing might look like.12．Why do Chinese scientists design a vacuum chamber to simulate the conditions on the surface of the moon?A.It can test ultraviolet rays on the moon.B.The low-voltage electrical charge can be beneficialC.It can help prepare the country for future lunar exploration.D.It is close to the real environment on the moon13．What can we infer from what Li Liyi said in the passage?A.Lunar dust is a big challenge for crewed moon landingB.The new facility can simulate all environments on the moonC.The facility can generate the real space environment in the worldD.The chamber can make the future lunar exploration successful14．What is the author's purpose to write this passage?A.To indicate the difficulties of crewed moon landingB.To introduce China's newly-built vacuum chamberC.To describe the real environment on the moonD.To introduce China's crewed moon landing project15．which application of the lunar surface simulator is not mentioned below?A.understand its impacts on spacecraftB.prepare us for a crewed moon landingC.help us have a better understanding of the dust formation processD.help us to design flying dust二、七选五16．As technology continues to advance, the way we work will continue to develop. Here are some predictions for future work in a technology-driven world.Remote work has become increasingly important. It allows for virtual communication and collaboration (协作) . he worldwide health crisis forced many businesses to adopt remote work practices to follow social distancing guidelines.①_______②_______. It mainly includes flexibility and reduced commute times. It also presents challenges, such as maintaining productivity and work-life balance.

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 can cause u s 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 g reatest 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 movementA.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 textA.Creative and sociable.B.Friendly and humorous.C.Generous and ambitious.D.Cautious and responsible.6．What can be inferred from the textA.People d on’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 textA.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 abilit y to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin toupset 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 2A.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 freezingA.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 aboutA.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 m atch 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 digitalplatforms. For instance, musicians on Spotify or TikTok might focus on creating catchy hooks at the beginning of their songs to grab the listener’s attentio n.Despite the strong presence of these algorithms, Chayka believes that regulation could reduce 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 creator s, 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 yearsA.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 algorithms influence musicians’ work on digital platformsA.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 textA.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 for10 years.二、七选五16．How to Protect Against Undue Influence OnlineThe potential for undue influence has become increasingly significant in this era of digital interconnectivity.
