He wanted to show them the best gift he had received: a new pair of gloves. They are not just any gloves, however. The special bionic devices（仿生设备）let the 79-year-old pianist play with both hands for the first time in more than 20 years.By his retirement（退休）last March, Martins had received 24 medical operations to try to reduce pain caused by a disease and from a series of accidents. Before the gloves, which were especially developed for him, Martins could only play songs slowly with his thumbs and, sometimes, his pointer fingers.However, one designer believed Martins' retirement had come too early. The designer, Ubirata Bizarro Costa, created special bionic gloves for Martins' hands. The gloves help move his fingers up after they press（按）on the piano keys. Costa said he created early models based on images of Martins' hands, but he said those models were not good. He then decided to tell Martins about his work. Costa and Martins then spent several months testing different models. Finally, the perfect model came in December, and cost only $125.These days, Martins never takes off his new gloves, even when he goes to sleep. Martins said, "I have received more than 100 devices in the last 50 years. None of those devices worked well or long enough, but these gloves do."The new gloves have given Martins a new goal. He hopes to play the piano at New York's Carnegie Hall in October. He is already set to conduct a concert celebrating the 60th anniversary of his first appearance there.（1）What do we know about Martins?A.He hates playing the piano in a bar.B.He has been fired by a music company.C.He has received the best present in his life.D.He often discusses with his friends about music.（2）What caused the pianist's pain?A.A failed operation.B.His friend's death.C.The new pair of gloves.D.A disease and some accidents.（3）How did Costa and Martins create the perfect bionic gloves?A.By testing different models.B.By pressing Martins' fingers.C.By examining Costa's hands.D.By working with other companies.（4）What does Martins think of the special pair of gloves?A.They are useless.B.They are frightening.C.They are strange.D.They are satisfying.4.September is the month for fashion, with four international cities hosting Fashion Week. All eyes will turn to New York City, London, Milan and Paris this month to see which city puts on the best show.New YorkNew York Fashion Week, or NYFW, kicks off on September 4th and runs for approximately eight days. NYFW is considered the most commercial and casual of the four. It is also the only event to allow some fashion school students to participate, bringing a fresh look to the runway.LondonLondon Fashion Week（LFW）comes on the heels of NYFW, starting on September 13th and running through September 17th. Once considered a minor player among the Big Four, LFW can now command a list of big names as well as promising new designers. London fashion houses have a reputation for beingvery experimental and open to new ideas.MilanFashion Week moves to Milan on September 17th. This beautiful Italian city is home to some of the biggest fashion houses and designers in the fashion world, including Armani and Prada. Milan's fashion houses are known for offering charming, yet practical options.ParisThe chaotic month of fashion makes its way to France as Paris Fashion Week begins onSeptember 23rd. Saving the best for last, Paris never fails to offer some of the most exciting shows of the season. World-famous labels like Chanel and Dior try to beat one another with their latest designs. The word that best describes Paris Fashion Week is "elegant".（1）When does New York Fashion Week probably end?A.September 4th.B.September 8th.C.September 12th.D.September 13th.（2）Which city is likely to attract the new designers?A.New York.B.London.an.D.Paris.（3）What can we learn from the four fashion weeks?A.Each has its own characteristic.B.Each shows its biggest brand.C.Each offers practical options.D.Each is open to school students.5.US author Henry Rollins once wrote: "Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better." Indeed, in the eyes of artists, loneliness never seems to go out of style. There are paintings that portray loneliness, songs that are inspired by loneliness, and many works of literature that center around this theme.In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic. Instead, it's a "giant evil" that's become a serious problem in the country.So just how serious is it? On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as the country's very first "Minister for Loneliness". Her job is to tackle（处理）the loneliness that the country's been feeling—a problem which, according to UK government research, is affecting more than 9 million people in the country, and is more harmful to one's physical and mental health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day.And the problem hasn't just appeared recently. Back in 2014, the UK was given the title of the "loneliness capital of Europe" by The Telegraph. A survey carried out by the newspaper found that British people were less likely to get to know their neighbors or build strong relationships with people than those from other European countries."There is something about British wanting to deal with problems themselves," Christian Guy, director of the Centre for Social Justice think-tank（智囊团）, told The Telegraph.But this doesn't mean that the problem only affects Britons. In fact, we're all suffering from loneliness now more than ever, in spite of most of the world now having access to the Internet, which has enabled us to be mare connected than ever.What we need, according to Kim Leadbetter, sister of the late UK politician Jo Cox, is to have "proper human connections". "Our lives nowadays are so busy. We spend the vast majority of our time on our phones, on our laptops. We need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings," Leadbetter said at an event last year.But the first steps toward fighting this problem are to accept its existence and not be ashamed or intimidated（吓倒）by it. After all, without loneliness, many beautiful paintings, songs, and literary works wouldn't even exist. And "evil" or not, being lonely is simply part of the experience of being human.（1）What can we learn about the UK's loneliness problem?A.The UK became the loneliest country in the world in 2014.B.More than half of British people suffer from loneliness.C.The government is working to solve the problem.D.British people communicate less with their neighbors than ever.（2）According to the text, social loneliness ______.A.has become a problem worldwideB.didn't attract the public's attention until recentlyC.is mainly caused by the wide use of the InternetD.does more harm mentally than physically（3）What does Leadbetter suggest doing to cope with loneliness?A.Making more phone calls to our friends.B.Stopping the use of electronic products.C.Interacting with the people around us face to face more often.D.Accepting its existence calmly.（4）Which of the following would the author probably agree with?A.Loneliness is a giant evil of society.B.Only artists can appreciate the beauty of loneliness.C.It is hard to find a solution to social loneliness.D.Loneliness is just a normal part of our life.三、书面表达（本题共计 2 小题，每题 5 分，共计10分）6. 假定你是学生会会长李华，学生会计划举办一次英语联欢晚会，请根据以下提示告知师生相关事宜，内容包括：1. 时间：本周五晚7点，6:30在主楼一层集合；2. 地点：学校礼堂；3. 可以自备零食或饮料；4. 每个班都需要表演节目，内容不限；5. 欢迎所有老师和同学参加。

Where is this text most probably taken from?A．A travel brochure. B．An official website.C．A local newspaper. D．An online shopping platform.Mia, a pre-adolescent of twelve years, is currently embarking on an annual peregrination with her progenitors and trio of juvenile siblings, distant from their domicile in Quebec, Canada. The familial unit has partaken in equine excursions through the Mongolian steppes, navigated waterways in Cambodia via kayak, sojourned amidst the Namibian wilderness, and soared above the Turkish landscape in a hot air balloon, all in pursuit of a repository of experiences that may occur but once in their existence.These reminiscences hold profound significance as, barring a scientific marvel in the near term, the progeny are destined to succumb to blindness in their maturation. They have been afflicted with a malady that lacks efficacious intervention and possesses an indeterminate schedule, progressively depriving them of the faculty of vision.The revelations of their conditions emerged in 2015. In the face of sorrow, the parents were struck by Mia’s composure at the tender age of seven. She proclaimed the necessity to cultivate an environment of order within her chamber, ensuring that every object held its rightful place. “I shall require prescience of the location of all articles,” Mia articulated.“She is autonomously devising remedies,” the parents remarked to one another. “We must adhere to her guidance.” Consequently, the concept of a yearlong expedition was conceived, one designed to expose the offspring to the panorama of the globe, in a manner both direct and intimate — whilst their visual faculties remained intact. For the subsequent biennium, the progenitors have amassed financial resources and investigated prospective destinations. “The disparity in the perspectival apprehen sion of the world by adults and children is vast,” the matriarch, Edith, remarked. “Our journey must eschew a focus on religious monuments and institutions of learning, instead gravitating towards whatever captures their gaze.”As the odyssey commenced its conclusion in the nascent stages of 2023, the family had traversed 52,000 miles and traversed eighteen nations. Mia, elongated in stature and on the cusp ofadolescence, sought greater autonomy. Her confreres in youth were transformed, exuding an enhanced air of assurance and sociability. The progeny were acutely conscious of the wealth of knowledge they had amassed. “Existence is replete with affliction and destitution, yet it is also abundant in virtue and intriguing phenomena. We ought to maintain a pos itive stance,” Mia pronounced.4. What’s the probable function of the first paragraph?A．To lead in the story behind.B．To arouse the readers’ interest.C．To provide background information.D．To inform readers of a wonderful trip.5. What can be inferred about the parents from paragraph 3 and 4?A．They are optimistic about the children’s disease.B．They are surprised at their daughter’s creative ideas.C．They are proud of their daughter’s courage to face difficulties.D．They are open-minded enough to respect their children’s decision.6. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The details about the year-long journey.B．The keen anticipation of Mia about the future.C．The changes of the kids physically and mentally.D．The impression Mia had of what she had experienced.7. Which is the best title of the story?A．Seeing is believing. B．Making the most of the vision.C．Man who travels far knows more. D．The eyes are the window to the soul. From an anthropocentric perspective, the capacity to emit pigment or alter one’s hue may appear peculiar, yet consider this: what is truly unconventional is the phenomenon of menopause. The number of species, aside from humans, that are known to endure and surpass menopause can be enumerated on the fingers of one hand. Only orcas and certain cetacean populations exhibit females that persist in life beyond their reproductive term, assuming the role of matriarchs. However, a groundbreaking study has now verified that at least one troupe of chimpanzees merits inclusion in this exclusive roster.This revelation is the fruit of two decades of scrutiny of the Ngogo aggregation of feral chimpanzees inhabiting Kibale National Park in Uganda. An analysis of urine samples from 66 female Ngogo chimpanzees, ranging in age from 14 to 67 years, demonstrated a hormonal transition post reachingthe half-century mark, substantiating their state of menopause. Curiously, the age of 50 is also when many humans commence experiencing menopausal symptoms. “It’s immensely exhilarating to witness this elusive piece of the puzzle finally fall into place,” remarks Catherine Hobaiter, a researcher of primates who was not affiliated with the study in question.Catherine, however, underscores that the Ngogo community resides in an idyllic environment for chimpanzees: the Kibale National Park, which is a cornucopia of resources and well-guarded, also being devoid of leopards, the principal predators of chimpanzees. Given that the Ngogo community is nestled deep within the park, its sole neighbors are conspecifics—excluding humans who might convey viruses that have ravaged other chimpanzee populations. “The Ngogo demographic may represent an exception rather than the norm for the species as a whole,” she warns.Furthermore, there exists a conundrum surrounding the so-called “grandmother hypothesis,” which posits a grandmother’s significantly positive impact on her offspring and their progeny. Chimpanzees do not establish enduring pair-bonds, and the females migrate in quest of novel communities upon reaching sexual maturity, implying that postmenopausal grandmother chimpanzees may not be cognizant of their grandchildren in the manner that humans or even orcas are. The activities they engage in subsequent to menopause remain a subject of curiosity. “An d that is the domain of future investigations,” Catherine asserts.8. What can be learned about menopause?A．It is rare among animals. B．It is unique to human beings.C．It just occurs at the age of 50. D．It is experienced only by females.9. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Scientist have found the solution to menopause.B．What happens to the 66 Ngogo females remains a puzzle.C．There is a puzzle whether chimpanzee females experience menopause.D．The latest discovery casts new light on the puzzle of animal menopause.10. Why does Catherine mention the living situation of the Ngogo community?A．To stress the importance of protecting chimpanzees from viruses.B．To remind researchers of the potential limitation of the new study.C．To prove that Ngogo chimpanzees are perfect subjects of the study.D．To argue that the discovery of the new study is completely groundless.11. How is the last paragraph developed?A．By offering a definition. B．By drawing a conclusion.C．By presenting relevant facts. D．By giving examples and opinions.A decade ago, the experience of accessing Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram was predominantly a linear journey through updates from one’s social circle, presented in the sequence they were shared. In contemporary times, these digital arenas offer an amalgamation of content, curated by sophisticated algorithms designed to align with the user’s predilections, be it botany, athletics, felines, or political discourse.Kyle Chayka, a scribe for The New Yorker, delves into this subject in his literary work, Filterworld. He elucidates that these algorithms perform a dissection of user data, enabling them to anticipate and sway the type of content that is likely to capture engagement. This paradigm shift signifies a departure from a rudimentary, time-bound feed, and instead, ushers users into an ever-evolving flow that is in perpetual attunement to their preferences. Chayka scrutinizes the dominion these algorithmic suggestions wield over our consumption habits, spanning from musical compositions and cinematic productions to culinary delights and holiday locales. He posits that this mechanized curation has transformed us into recipients of content in a more subdued capacity, fostering a convergence in our inclinations and aesthetic sensibilities.Chayka accentuates that the passivity induced by algorithms stems from their relentless presentation of content that we are predisposed to engage with, without the risk of alienating us through its unexpectedness or complexity. This relentless barrage of curated recommendations constricts our window to a spectrum of varied or thought-provoking material, subtly sculpting our predilections and conduct.Furthermore, Chayka observes that algorithms exert a compelling influence on content creators, be they musicians or visual artists, compelling them to contour their craft to align with the exigencies of digital platforms. For example, melodists on Spotify or TikTok might concentrate on fashioning alluring preludes to ensnare t he listener’s captivation from the outset.Despite the pervasive sway of these algorithms, Chayka maintains an optimistic stance, suggesting that regulatory measures could attenuate their dominion. He proposes that if Meta, the corporate steward of Facebook, were subject to a mandate to disentangle its constellation of services, such as Instagram or WhatsApp, and set them afloat in a competitive marketplace, it might endow users with an enhanced sense of governance and selection over their digital diet.In essence, the transition from straightforward, chronological social media dispatches to algorithmically propelled content exerts a profound influence on both the audience and the originators, dictating our visual and auditory intake, and even our cognitive processes. Chayka’s perspicacity underscores the exigency for heightened consciousness and possibly augmented regulatory oversight in our proliferating digital milieu.12. According to the text, how have social media platforms changed in the past ten years?A．They show posts in a time-based order.B．They prioritize posts from friends and family.C．They make adjustments to satisfy users’ needs.D．They provide more content to meet different needs.13. What does Kyle Chayka think of algorithmic recommendations?A．They make users more active consumers.B．They shape users’ preferences and behaviors.C．They reduce the influence of content creators.D．They expose users to diverse and challenging content.14. How do algorithms influence musicians’ work on digital platforms?A．By encouraging musicians to create longer songs.B．By discouraging musicians from using catchy hooks.C．By giving musicians more control and choice over their music.D．By requiring musicians to create their work to fit the platforms.15. What can be concluded from the text?A．Tech companies should have more departments.B．Social media algorithms give content creators less opportunities.C．Social media algorithms flatten our culture by making decisions for us.D．Network platforms have increased the common recommendations for 10 years.How to Protect Against Undue Influence OnlineThe potential for undue influence has become increasingly significant in this era of digital interconnectivity. Undue influence can affect our perceptions and influence our decisions. It may even end anger our autonomy (自主) and mental health. 16Understand what undue influence isThe first step to protecting yourself is understanding what undue influence is. Undue influence refers to a situation in which an individual or group employs unreasonable control over another person’s behavior information, thoughts, and emotions. 17 Disinformation campaigns, persuasive advertising, and even content designed to cause fear, uncertainty, or dependency may often appear online.Develop media literacy skillsIn an age of fake news, it is crucial to develop media literacy skills. 18 Become a consumer who can tell the quality of information, identify the source, check for credibility, and look for your unconscious assumptions and preferences.19Delete as much data as you can about yourself. Be mindful of what information you share online, and always ensure that your online activities are secured through reliable sources. Review all policies on platforms, especially “free” ones. If you aren’t paying, then you are the product, as in many cases, they are selling your data.By including these steps into your digital life, you can protect yourself from undue influence in the online world, ensuring that you can think and act independently, free from ill control.20 It is your mind. Only you should control it!Smith brought his three-month-old son out for breakfast one day.

"Our suggestion is for people to increase their intake（吸入，摄入）, through diet or a vitamin supplement," Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview.B.African people.C.American people.D.European people.3.One day, Mr. Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as normally as ever. He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead, they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate（耕作）the land, and care for animals, mankind would always have food steadily available. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:"And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?"Mr. Arnold didn't know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?"We have all become nomads again," continued Lucy, "The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish. It's the same with everyone: when there's no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. That's what the nomads did, isn't it?The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said "I am not a nomad!"And, from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.（1）From Paragraph 2, we can know that ________.A.people got tired of living in the same placeB.people gradually got used to living in citiesC.people tended to settle down after learning farmingD.people spent a long time in learning to keep animals（2）The teacher thought Lucy's argument was ________.A.shockingB.ridiculousC.puzzlingD.reasonable（3）Which of the following agrees with the message "I am not a nomad" (Paragraph 7)?A.People eat young fish for its delicious taste.B.Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.C.Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.D.People use recycled materials as much as possible.（4）The writer tries to make us believe that ________．A.mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling aboutB.it's unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled wayC.it's quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankindD.in the beginning men were nomads4.If you feel the sky seem empty of birds, you are not alone. A 2018 study showed that 40% of the world's 11,000 bird species are on the decrease, and one in eight bird species is threatened with global extinction, one of which is the kakapo.Native to New Zealand, they are unlike any other species of parrots. Over time, they have lost their ability to fly and gained weight and become the heaviest parrots. Once found in large numbers, they're now close to extinction. While fierce animals are to blame, their breeding（繁殖）habits don't help either.The parrots, which can live up to 100 years, don't start breeding until the age of five. Therefore, it is not surprising that only 114 adult parrots remained in 2019. Though the number is low, it is larger than thatin 1995, when only 51 remained on earth. The growing population is a result of the government's decision and the efforts of a team led by Andrew Rigby, a scientist.The researchers tagged each bird with a smart transmitter（发射器）. Its information is picked up and sent to the scientists, allowing them to locate where the birds are nesting and get to know if they are sick. The trackers also allow the team to control the parrots' diet at the right time. Once the birds lay eggs, the eggs are taken from the nests. Once the eggs hatch, each mother is given only one chick, while the rest are hand raised, which helps ensure they all receive enough food.While such efforts to bring back a species may seem unreasonable, Rigby believes it is vital for the future of all endangered animals. He says, "From an ecosystem point of view, we don't know what bringing kakapos back to stable numbers would produce. However, kakapos are like the panda of the bird world. If people engaged with kakapos, they would be interested in conservation of other wildlife."（1）What do we know about kakapos from the text?A.They have been extinct in the wild.B.They live in peace with wild animals.C.They're flightless and the heaviest parrots.D.They have been hunted by human beings.（2）Why does the population of kakapos increase so slowly?A.They don't breed until they are five.B.They don't adapt to the surroundings.C.The government didn't take action in time.D.The efforts made by the team didn't take effect.（3）What is implied in Rigby's words in the last paragraph?A.It's hard to bring back an endangered species.B.It's important for human beings to respect nature.C.Few people know how to save the endangered animals.D.Saving kakapos will have a great influence on wildlife protection.（4）What is the main idea of the text?A.The scientists know how to save kakapos.B.The latest technology is used to save kakapos.C.The kakapo is different from other species of parrots.D.A new program is aimed at protecting the environment.Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders said that part-time work was a good way to help young people learn skills that they would need in their working lives.In reality, it's all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.（1）What does the author focus on in paragraph 2?A.The potential effect of the job trend in the UK.B.The problems with job employment the UK is facing.C.The benefits of taking part-time jobs for UK teenagers.D.The different views from UK students on part-time jobs.（2）What does the underlined word "pernicious" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Unknown.B.Changeable.C.Necessary.D.Harmful.（3）What's Geoff Barton's attitude towards part-time work for the young?A.Worried.B.Positive.C.Cautious.D.Uncertain.（4）What is the best title for the text?A.Should Students Take Up Part-time Jobs?B.More and More Students Begin to Work Hard.C.How Can Students Balance Study and Work?D.Part-time Jobs for Students Are Unacceptable.三、书面表达（本题共计 2 小题，每题 20 分，共计40分）6. 假定你是魏华，你的笔友Jane最近总是感觉身体不适，因此写信向你询问如何保持健康。
