Food.D. Travel.BTom was a lazy boy. He hated going to school, studying and doing homework. One day, when Gluebeard, the famous captain, came to town in search of young sailors, Tom made sure he was the first in line. On Gluebeard’s ship, every minute of every day was spent looking for treasure and if anyone was found reading or studying, they would be locked in a small room full of mice. And so Tom began his life as atreasure-hunting sailor, but it wasn’t easy. They hardly had enough money to buy food and clothes.One day, someone on the ship stole the only food Tom had left. Two days later, Tom was so hungry that he secretly went to the room full of mice to find one and eat it. But when he entered, he couldn’t find a single mouse. He did find a secret room, one that was full of... books! Suddenly he heard some voices and he hid away to listen...Tom was very angry. He heard Gluebeard laugh at how stupid the crew (全体船员) were, how easy it was to fool them, and how foolish and poor they would always be after leaving their studies behind.From that day on, Tom waited every night until everyone was asleep. Then he visited the room full of books, where he spent his time studying all kinds of books. Soon he found that learning about so many things gave him better ideas.After a few years, he left Gluebeard’s ship, used the money he made to buy his own boat and found his own crew. Unlike Gluebeard, however, he only chose people who studied. And instead of fooling them, he encouraged them to search for treasure with him. With so many clever people, ________.41.

Because he thought it was no use reading books.44. Which of the following can be put into ________A. they did not need a captainB. the crew were not easy to leadC. they found new treasure much fasterD. they decided to start other businesses45. What does the story mainly tell usA. Travel broadens the mind.B. Knowledge is power.C. Better late than never.D. Every coin has two sides.CWhen you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia. But recently, the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear- contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea, reported China Daily.In Nilka county in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout (虹鳟鱼)will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon, which is a kind of well- known seafood. It tastes like salmon too. Why do farmers there choose to grow fish The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company in Xinjiang, told China Daily. To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages (网箱) that are good for the environment. The net s are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river.Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimps, another kind of seafood, grow well. In this area, saline soil (盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water.Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components (成分). Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimps that grow in the sea.46. Rainbow trout comfortably live in ________.A. any open water areaB. warm and clean riversC. salty and warm oceanD. cold and clean rivers47. The underlined words “fed by” in the passage can be replaced by________.A. stopped byB. connected withC. polluted byD. provided with48. To avoid water pollution caused by growing fish, the company________.A. feeds the fish with machinesB. grows fish in certain water areasC. grows one kind of fish once a yearD. cuts down the fish production49. Why are whiteleg shrimps introduced in the passageA. To show the importance of rivers to a country.B. To intr oduce the safety of eating inland “seafood”.C. To compare it with common whiteleg shrimps.D. To show another “seafood” grown without using the sea.50. What is the hidden message of the passageA. Life will not be different without seafood.B. Xinjiang is rich in natural resources.C. China won’t be short of fishery products.D. Few plants can grow in the desert of Inner Mongolia.DCan plants talk Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals (化学物质)to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked (攻击) by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: I’m being attack ed! These chemicals can’t be noticed by people but can be picked up by other plants. When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. That’s why the first plant is usually found hurt while the neighbors stay well. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system so that we can use it to grow more crops.More surprisingly, pla nts also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds; but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can connect nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is connected underground by fungi (霉菌). It connects the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it can lead to bad effects. Plants can use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhapsone day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to talk with them ourselves.51. What will plants do when they are being attacked by insects according to the passageA. They will kill the insects by themselves.B. They will control the wasps to kill the insects.C. They will let their neighbors know what’s happening.D. They will produce chemicals to drive the insects away.52. What do we know about the system of communication of plants in a forestA. The plants in a forest are connected by the Internet we use.B. The “wood wide web” is built by joining the roots of the plants.C. Scientists hope to make a “firewall” to protect the system from being attacked by insects.D. The “wood wide web” can be both helpful and harmful to the connected plants.53. What is the writer’s purpose of the last paragraphA. To give people hope for further studies.B. To praise scientists for their great achievements.C. To call on people to do deeper research on nature.D. To encourage people to talk to plants.54. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about plants according to the passageA. Some trees make clicking sound when they need water.B. Scientists suggest that people should create a better environment for plants to grow well.C. Usually the same harm cannot be seen on a plant and its neighboring plants.D. All the plant communication methods mentioned in the passage can hardly be noticed by people.55. How does the writer’s “surprise” about the plant communication developA. B.C. D.E 日常对话根据对话内容，从方框中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项补全对话，其中有两个为多余选项。

No! N o!” The little stream could not accept this idea．“The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain．The rain will form a river again，” said the desert．“And whether you are a river or vapor，your nature never changes．” Hearing this，the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze．It carried her to the next stage of her life．The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream．If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success，you should also change the way you are．36．The little stream planned to reach ．A．the forestB．the

advice．BI’ d planned to spend my weekend in the sun，planting flowers outdoors．But that was before the pair of crows (乌鸦)．Out of nowhere，they had set up their base camp in our garden．We first discovered the crows on Friday morning．It was early，and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood．I thought they’ d go away soon．But，no．They were getting louder and probably made my neighbors angry nearly as much as us with the noise．I felt a little disappointed．Then，on Sunday afternoon，I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi watching something on the ground．I found a small coal-black bird in the grass．Its eyes were milky，and it stayed perfectly still as my dog inched towards it．Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away．I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera．I never thought that the young would be hanging out on the ground，growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above．The second I saw this little bird I forgave (原谅) the crows．To be honest，I’ ve never been much of a bird person．I also have a healthy respect for birds．They’ re basically living dinosaurs（恐龙）．I wish they’ d chosen another garden．There are only so many sunny days in Seattle，and I still can’ t do any gardening out there．But I’ m also thankful that I got to see this little bit of nature．It’ s pretty amazing．The experience has also strengthened my wish to create a beautiful garden that attracts lots of bees，butterflies，and yes，birds．They are welcome here．英语试卷第5 页（共12 页）英语试卷第6 页（共12 页）41．The arrival of the two

birdsC．share a personal experienceD．ask advice on dealing with crowsCMaybe a lot of thin people will be worried about their health if the inside fat matters．Some doctors now think that the inside fat around important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the outside fat which can be noticed more easily．“Be ing thin doesn’ t surely mean you are not fat，”said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College．Since 1994，Bell and his team have tested nearly 800 people with MRI to create “fatmaps” showing where people store fat．According to the result，people who keep their weight through the food theyusually eatrather than exercise are likely to have major deposits (堆积物) of inside fat，even if they arethin．Even people with normal Body Mass Index (体重指数) scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside．Of the women，as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of inside fat．Men were nearly 60 percent．According to Bell，people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat．They eat too many fatty and sugary foods，but they are not eating enough to be fat．Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the stomach first，but at some point，the body may start storing it elsewhere．Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of inside fat，but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes (糖尿病)．They want to prove that inside fat does harm to the body’ s communication systems．The good news is that inside fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your eating habits．“If you want to be healthy，there is no other way．Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle，”Be ll said．46.

Here comes Matthews ’ s econd experiment ．This time ，instead of butter ，the toast had a lett er “B ” written on one side ．It still landed 58 percent of the time on the B-side ．This proved that Murphy ’ s Law is true: If the toast can land butter-side down ，it will do so ． Matthews did another experiment ．When students threw the toast from a height of 2.5 metres ，the toast landed butter-side down only 47 percent of the time ．“Toast lands butter-side down because humans aren ’ t tall enough to let it land any other way ，” M atthews said ． 根据上文内容判断正 (T) 误(F)51．According to Murphy ’ s Law ，in an English class ，if y ou don’ t want to be questioned by the teacher ，you may end up failing answering the questions ．52．In the first experiment of buttered toast ，we know the toast landed butter-side downabout 620 times ．53．If the toast can land butter-side down ，Murphy ’ s Law is true ．54．In the first two experiments ，either the butter or the letter “B ” p lays a role ． 55．The passage is mainly talking about Murphy ’ s Law depends on peopl e’ s mentalstate(心理状态)．E 日常对话A:56 B: Actually ，I hav en’ t been sleeping well ．A:57B: I go to bed ，but I just can’ t get comfortable enough to stay asleep ．A: When do you get into bed for the night?

Each of them is divided into two parts—the core（核心）protection area and the general control area. In the core protection area, only research and surveillance（监视）in science are allowed. And the general control area is open to the public, allowing travel activities such as camping and hiking. In the future, national parks are expected to be natural classrooms. People can learn about different kinds of animals and plants through eco-friendly travel activities.Three River-Source National Park on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the largest national park in China. Because it is home to the sources of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers, people call it “China’s water tower”.Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park is in Heilongjiang and Jilin Provinces. It covers an area of 14,100 square kilometres. It is our country’s biggest and only place for wildSiberian tigers and Amur leopards to live in.Wuyi Mountain National Park in Fujian Province is a UNESCO natural and cultural heritage site（遗址）. The forest makes up over 96 percent of the park. The park is the paradise of birds, kingdom of snakes and world of insects. You can also see the Danxia landform（地貌）there.Giant Panda National Park connects panda habitats（栖息地）in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces. Inside the park are more than 1,600 wild giant pandas. They make up over 70 percent of the pandas in China.Hainan Tropical Rain forest National Park is the largest tropical forest in China. There are more than 400 kinds of plants that can only be found in Hainan.36．What activity can be done in the core protection area?A. Hunting.B. Researching.C. Hiking.D.

The beautiful scenes of natureB. The home of animals and plantsC. The introduction to the five national parksD. The relationships among the five national parksBYou must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese?Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions （《红楼梦》）, written by Cao Xueqin（1715—1763）. Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, the US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017.Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights（剧作家）. Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera.The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a tragedy（悲剧）that everyone would understand.The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage decorations. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage. The creators considered the work of introducing a Chinese classic to Western audience was worth doing. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution（贡献）to the land where my parents were born”.41．Where was the opera first performed?A. In Beijing.B. In Changsha.C. In San Francisco.D. In Wuhan. 42．What do we know about A Dream of Red Mansions from Paragraph 4?A. It is mainly about the rise and greatness of the Qing Dynasty.B. It tells the happy-ending love story between Jia and Lin.C. The book is long and rich in characters.D. The book has seven characters in total.43．The art director compared Lin to water probably because of her ________.A. dressing styleB. characterC. appearanceD. life habits44．What can we infer from the passage?A. A Dream of Red Mansions has been translated into English.B. Hwang’s parents were born in America.C. The English-language opera was on tour in the US.D. Timmy Yip knows a lot about Chinese culture as well as American culture. 45．What do creators of the opera think of their job?A. Difficult and unbelievable.B. Stressful and tough.C. Satisfying and meaningful.D. Painful and challenging.CIs there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam? Walking backward might be a solution. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, participants were split into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 metres forward. The second group walked 10 metres backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average than the other two groups.This suggests that the link between the concepts（概念）of time and space is important in terms of how our minds form memories. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle. This difference helps people recall things that took place in the past.And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our bodies. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories.In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines（脊柱）strong, which can help to reduce pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward.46．Walking backward can help people _________.A. solve difficult problemsB. create good memoriesC. improve short-term memoryD. burn less calories47．What do you know about the 114 volunteers?A. They made a video about walking.B. They watched a video before walking or standing still.C. They asked each other 20 questions about walking.D. They were divided into four teams.48．What is the purpose of writing Paragraph 4?A. To talk about memory loss.B. To tell the importance of walking backward.C. To explain the result of the research.D. To show the link between time and space.49．According to the last paragraph, why do many old people choose to walk backward?a. To lose weight.b. To reduce the pain in their knees.c. To keep their spines strong.d. To relax themselves.A. abB. bcC. bdD. ad50．What is the passage mainly about?A. Different ways of walking.B. Benefits of walking backward.C. Research about memory.D. Test about walking backward.DThe world’s first fully hydrogen-powered（氢动力）train line has officially begun running in Germany. The trains make almost no noise and run without polluting. Germany is planning to replace many of its diesel（柴油）trains with hydrogen trains.On October 24, 2022, five hydrogen-powered trains began to make the 100-kilometre trip between Cuxhaven and Buxtehude in Germany. The new trains are part of a $ 92.5 million project by LNVG, which has been testing the hydrogen-powered trains since 2018.At present, most trains run on diesel power. When diesel fuel is burned, it creates CO2 and other polluting gases. These gases have helped create the climate crisis. That’s partly why the LNVG has decided that all the trains on the route will run on hydrogen. The trains, called CoradiaiLint trains, are built by the French company, Alstom. And LNVG has ordered a total of 14 of the hydrogen-powered trains.Hydrogen is a gas that burns easily. Hydrogen can be used to create electricity by combining with oxygen in a “fuel cell”. A fuel cell is like a battery that never runs down as long as it has hydrogen. The chemical reaction which takes place creates electricity. The Coradia iLint trains run on electricity created by hydrogen fuel cells. If the fuel cells make too much electricity, it’s used to recharge（重新充电）the train’s batteries. Because the motor is electric, the trains run almost silently.There’s a hydrogen station on the line to refuel the trains. But since the trains can go about 1,000 kilometres before they need more fuel, they only need to fill up once a day. The trains can go as fast as 140 kph—about the same as the diesel trains they’re replacing.In many places, hydrogen-powered trains are a smart choice for replacing diesel trains. The city of Frankfurt, Germany has already ordered 27 of the Coradia iLint trains. Other countries are also interested. France and Italy have ordered several of the hydrogen-powered trains. 51．What can we infer about LNVG from Paragraph 3?A. Diesel power is not allowed in France.B. It invented the first hydrogen-powered train.C. It cares about environmental protection.D. It plans to order 14 hydrogen-powered trains.52．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. How the hydrogen-powered trains are powered.B. How the hydrogen-powered trains are replaced.C. How the hydrogen-powered trains are created.D. How the hydrogen-powered trains are improved.53．What is the advantage of the Coradia iLint trains?A. They can be bought at a lower price.B. They make little noise when running.C. They run faster than traditional trains.D. They need to be fueled once a week. 54．What can we know from the passage?A. The hydrogen-powered trains were tested first in 2018.B. When hydrogen is burned, it creates CO2.C. The Coradia iLint trains run on electricity created by diesel fuel cells.D. Germany and Italy ordered 27 hydrogen-powered trains.55．How do France and Italy like the hydrogen-powered trains?A. Expensive.B. Comfortable.C. InterestedD.

One day, when Gluebeard, the famous captain, came to town in search of young sailors, Tom made sure he was the first in line.On Gluebeard’s ship, every minute of every day was spent looking for treasure and if anyone was found reading or studying, they would be locked in a small room full of mice. And so Tom began his life as a treasure-hunting sailor, but it wasn’t easy. They hardly had enough money to buy food and clothes.One day, someone on the ship stole the only food Tom had left. Two days later, Tom was so hungry that he secretly went to the room full of mice to find one and eat it. But when he entered, he couldn’t find a single mouse. He did find a secret room, one that was full of... books! Suddenly he heard some voices and he hid away to listen...Tom was very angry. He heard Gluebeard laugh at how stupid the crew (全体船员) were, how easy it was to fool them, and how foolish and poor they would always be after leaving their studies behind.From that day on, Tom waited every night until everyone was asleep. Then he visited the room full of books, where he spent his time studying all kinds of books. Soon he found that learning about so many things gave him better ideas.After a few years, he left Gluebeard’s ship, used the money he made to buy his own boat and found his own crew. Unlike Gluebeard, however, he only chose people who studied. And instead of fooling them, he encouraged them to search for treasure with him. With so many clever people, ________.41.

What does the story mainly tell us?A. Travel broadens the mind.B. Knowledge is power.C. Better late than never.D. Every coin has two sides.CWhen you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia. But recently, the “seafood” produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear- contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea, reported China Daily.In Nilka county in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout (虹鳟鱼) will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon, which is a kind of well- known seafood. It tastes like salmon too.Why do farmers there choose to grow fish? The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the riversare fed by meltwater from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company in Xinjiang, told China Daily.To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages (网箱) that are good for the environment. The net s are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river.Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimps, another kind of seafood, grow well. In this area, saline soil (盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water.Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components (成分). Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimps that grow in the sea.46. Rainbow trout comfortably live in ________.A. any open water areaB. warm and clean riversC. salty and warm oceanD. cold and clean rivers47. The underlined words “fed by” in the passage can be replaced by ________.A. stopped byB. connected withC. polluted byD. provided with48. To avoid water pollution caused by growing fish, the company ________.A. feeds the fish with machinesB. grows fish in certain water areasC. grows one kind of fish once a yearD. cuts down the fish production49. Why are whiteleg shrimps introduced in the passage?A. To show the importance of rivers to a country.B. To introduce the safety of eating inland “seafood”.C. To compare it with common whiteleg shrimps.D. To show another “seafood” grown without using the sea.50. What is the hidden message of the passage?A. Life will not be different without seafood.B. Xinjiang is rich in natural resources.C. China won’t be short of fishery products.D. Few plants can grow in the desert of Inner Mongolia.DCan plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals (化学物质) to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked (攻击) by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: I’m being attacked! These chemicals can’t be noticed by people but can be picked up by other plants. When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. That’s why the first plant is usually found hurt while the neighbors stay well. Scientistshope to learn more about this plant warning system so that we can use it to grow more crops.More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds; but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can connect nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is connected underground by fungi (霉菌). It connects the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it can lead to bad effects. Plants can use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to talk with them ourselves.51. What will plants do when they are being attacked by insects according to the passage?A. They will kill the insects by themselves.B. They will control the wasps to kill the insects.C. They will let their neighbors know what’s happening.D. They will produce chemicals to drive the insects away.52. What do we know about the system of communication of plants in a forest?A. The plants in a forest are connected by the Internet we use.B. The “wood wide web” is built by joining the roots of the plants.C. Scientists hope to make a “firewall” to protect the system from being attacked by insects.D. The “wood wide web” can be both helpful and harmful to the connected plants.53. What is the writer’s purpose of the last paragraph?A. To give people hope for further studies.B. To praise scientists for their great achievements.C. To call on people to do deeper research on nature.D. To encourage people to talk to plants.54. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about plants according to the passage?A. Some trees make clicking sound when they need water.B. Scientists suggest that people should create a better environment for plants to grow well.C. Usually the same harm cannot be seen on a plant and its neighboring plants.D. All the plant communication methods mentioned in the passage can hardly be noticed by people.55. How does the writer’s “surprise” about the plant communication develop?A. B.C.

Each of them is divided into two parts—the core（核心）protection area and the general control area. In the core protection area. only research and surveillance （监视）in science are allowed. And the general control area is open to the public, allowing travel activities such as camping and hiking. In the future, national parks are expected to be natural classrooms. People can learn about different kinds of animals and plants through eco-friendly travel activities.Three River-Source National Park on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the largest national park in China. Because it is home to the sources of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers, people call it "China's water tower".Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park is in Heilongjiang and Jilin Provinces. It covers an area of 14,100 square kilometres. It is our country's biggest and only place for wild Siberian tigers and Amur leopards to live in.Wuyi Mountain National Park in Fujian Province is a UNESCO natural and cultural heritage site（遗址）. The forest makes up over 96 percent of the park. The park is the paradise of birds, kingdom of snakes and world of insects. You can also see the Danxia landform（地貌）there.Giant Panda National Park connects panda habitats（栖息地）in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces. Insidethe park are more than 1,600 wild giant pandas. They make up over 70 percent of the pandas in China.Hainan Tropical Rain forest National Park is the largest tropical forest in China.

The introduction to the five national parksD. The relationships among the five national parksBYou must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lind Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese?Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions（《红楼梦》）, written by Cao Xueqin（1715—1763）. Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, the US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017.Many of the opera's creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights（剧作家）. Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into aforeign-language opera.The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a tragedy（悲剧）that everyone would understand.The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage decorations. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage.The creators considered the work of introducing a Chinese classic to Western audience was worth doing. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to "have made a contribution（贡献）to the land where my parents were born".41. Where was the opera first performed?A. In Beijing.B. In Changsha.C. In San Francisco.D. In Wuhan.42. What do we know about A Dream of Red Mansions from Paragraph 4?A. It is mainly about the rise and greatness of the Qing Dynasty.B. It tells the happy-ending love story between Jia and Lin.C. The book is long and rich in characters.D. The book has seven characters in total.43. The art director compared Lin to water probably because of her___________.A. dressing styleB. characterC. appearanceD. life habits44. What can we infer from the passage?A. A Dream of Red Mansions has been translated into English.B. Hwang's parents were born in America.C. The English-language opera was on tour in the US.D. Timmy Yip knows a lot about Chinese culture as well as American culture.45. What do creators of the opera think of their job?A. Difficult and unbelievable.B. Stressful and tough.C. Satisfying and meaningful.D. Painful and challenging.CIs there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam? Walking backward might be a solution. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, participants were split into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 metres forward. The second group walked 10 metres backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.The scientists found that the backward—walking group got two more answers correct on average than the other two groups.This suggests that the link between the concepts（概念）of time and space is important in terms of how our minds form memories. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle. This difference helps people recall things that took place in the past.And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our bodies. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories.In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines（脊柱）strong, which can help to reduce pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward.46. Walking backward can help people_____________.A. solve difficult problemsB. create good memoriesC. improve short-term memoryD. burn less calories47. What do you know about the 114 volunteers?A. They made a video about walking.B. They watched a video before walking or standing still.C. They asked each other 20 questions about walking.D. They were divided into four teams.48.

Test about walking backward.DThe world's first fully hydrogen-powered（氢动力）train line has officially begun running in Germany. The trains make almost no noise and run without polluting. Germany is planning to replace many of its diesel（柴油）trains with hydrogen trains.On October 24, 2022, five hydrogen-powered trains began to make the 100-kilometre trip between Cuxhaven and Buxtehude in Germany. The new trains are part of a $ 92.5 million project by LNVG, which has been testing the hydrogen-powered trains since 2018.At present, most trains run on diesel power. When diesel fuel is burned, it creates CO2 and other polluting gases. These gases have helped create the climate crisis. That's partly why the LNVG has decided that all the trains on the route will run on hydrogen. The trains, called Coradia iLint trains, are built by the French company, Alstom. And LNVG has ordered a total of 14 of the hydrogen-powered trains.Hydrogen is a gas that burns easily. Hydrogen can be used to create electricity by combining with oxygen in a "fuel cell". A fuel cell is like a battery that never runs down as long as it has hydrogen. The chemical reaction which takes place creates electricity. The Coradia iLint trains run on electricity created by hydrogen fuel cells. If the fuel cells make too much electricity, it's used to recharge（重新充电）the train's batteries. Because the motor is electric, the trains run almost silently.There's a hydrogen station on the line to refuel the trains. But since the trains can go about 1,000 kilometres before they need more fuel, they only need to fill up once a day. The trains can go as fast as 140 kph—about the same as the diesel trains they're replacing.In many places, hydrogen—powered trains are a smart choice for replacing diesel trains. The city of Frankfurt, Germany has already ordered 27 of the Coradia iLint trains. Other countries are also interested. France and Italy have ordered several of the hydrogen-powered trains.51. What can we infer about LNVG from Paragraph 3?A. Diesel power is not allowed in France.B. It invented the first hydrogen-powered train.C. It cares about environmental protection.D. It plans to order 14 hydrogen-powered trains.52. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. How the hydrogen-powered trains are powered.B. How the hydrogen-powered trains are replaced.C. How the hydrogen-powered trains are created.D. How the hydrogen-powered trains are improved.53. What is the advantage of the Coradia iLint trains?A. They can be bought at a lower price.B. They make little noise when running.C. They run faster than traditional trains.D. They need to be fueled once a week.54. What can we know from the passage?A. The hydrogen-powered trains were tested first in 2018.B. When hydrogen is burned, it creates CO2.C. The Coradia iLint trains run on electricity created by diesel fuel cells.D. Germany and Italy ordered 27 hydrogen-powered trains.55. How do France and Italy like the hydrogen-powered trains?A. Expensive.B. Comfortable.E 日常对话根据对话内容, 从方框中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项补全对话, 其中有两个为多余选项。
