17. Arun Kumar Bajaj has a very unusual skill — he can paint with a sewing machine (缝纫机). Technically, it’s embroidering, not painting, but his artworks are so detailed that they can pass as paintings to the untrained eyes. And the fact that he does it all with a sewing machine just makes that much more impressive.
Arun was really good at drawing and painting while growing up and dreamed of becoming a famous painter, but his father died suddenly 15 years ago, which destroyed his plans and forced him to give up school in order to run the family business. His father was a tailor and he becam e one too, but he didn’t let the artist in him die. He started “painting” with a needle and thread, but instead of using his hands, he decided on a rather unusual tool —the sewing machine. It took him a while to master this unique art form, but today he is recognized as the world’s only sewing machine artist. His works become very popular both in India and abroad. It’s easy to see why, just by looking at them, but what really makes his embroideries special is the tool he uses.
“You need to be very careful because once you’ve stitched the cloth, there’s no way you can repair it.” Arun said. “It’s all done in a single layer to give the painting a neat look.”
Some of Arun’s most impressive works include a 4×2 feet painting of the court of Ranjit Singh, which took the artist over a year to finish. Arun runs a tailoring business in the Adalat Bazar of Patiala, but he devotes a lot of his time to his artistic dream as well.
1. What was Arun’s ambition when he was growing up?
A．To be a well-known artist. B．To be expert at embroidering.
C．To start a company of his own. D．To be a famous sewer like his father.
2. What can we infer about Arun’s business?
A．It runs very well at present. B．It often lacks a lot of money.
C．It has a lot of branches abroad. D．It is sponsored by the local government.
3. How did Arun paint the court of Ranjit Singh?
A．By using his feet. B．By using his mouth.
C．With a needle and thread. D．With a brush and paints.
4. How can we best describe Arun?
A．Outgoing and generous. B．Gifted and hardworking. C．Courageous but impatient. D．Narrow minded and bad-tempered.

18. If you stand in front of a group of kids, and start stating facts and ideas about a particular topic, like common trees found in a forest, their eyes will probably become dull because they’ll get bored. There might be a few people with a particular int erest in trees who remain attentive, but it’s likely that most will lose interest fairly quickly. But if you stand up in front of that same group of people and tell them a story, something different will happen.
Researchers have now quantified(量化)the emotional benefits of a well-told tale. “We know that stories can transport us to another world,”says Guilherme Brockington, the lead author of the new paper. Earlier research suggests that stories help children process and regulate their emotions—but it was mostly conducted in a laboratory, with subjects answering questions while lying inside MRI(核磁共振)machines. There are few studies on psychological effects of storytelling in more commonplace scenes, such as hospitals.
So investigators working in several hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged between four and eleven into two groups, matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one group, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers let each child spit into a tube, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz.
Based on the analysis of each tube of saliva(唾液), the researchers found children in both groups showed lower levels of the stress-related hormone(荷尔蒙)called cortisol and higher levels of oxytocin, a feel-good hormone. However, the cortisol levels of kids in the storytelling group were a quarter of those in the riddle group, and their oxytocin levels were nearly twice as high. Those who heard stories reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive words.
Next, the investigators plan to study how long these effects last. For now, Brockington says the results indicate storytelling is a low-cost and extremely efficient way to help improve health outcomes.
1. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?
A．To state people’s different reactions to some ideas.
B．To stress the magic of storytelling in grabbing attention.
C．To explain the importance of eye contact in storytelling.
D．To show the difficulty in making common topics interesting.
2. How does the new study differ from the previous research mentioned in paragraph 2? A．The new study was undertaken in real-life situations.
B．The new study was aimed to make hospital stays entertaining.
C．The researchers made full use of high-end laboratory equipment.
D．The researchers highlighted the link between cortisol levels and emotions.
3. What did the investigators do in their experiment?
A．They made the children report their delighted experiences in hospital.
B．They asked children to retell the newly learned stories.
C．They solved some riddle games for the children.
D．They collected and tested some saliva samples.
4. What can be inferred from the text?
A．Children should be forced to develop various interests.
B．Reading stories to kids can change their character greatly.
C．Listening to stories helps kids in hospital reduce their pain.
D．Compared with storytelling, children can feel better when playing riddle games.

19. Shortly after 6 am on Monday, buses carrying 200 immigrants rolled into Midtown Manhattan from Texas, Most of them, including young children, wore lightweight sweaters or blankets to keep out the cold. Mayor Eric Adams’ administration warned that 10 to 15 busloads of migrants were expected to arrive this week due to the lifting of Title 42, a Trump-era public health rule passed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Monday temporarily blocked the Biden administration from ending the pandemic-era Title 42 immigration policy, leaving in doubt whether officials will continue to drive off migrants over concerns about public health risks. Title 42 is set to expire (期满) on Wednesday.
“We have been told in no uncertai n terms that, beginning today, we should expect an influx (流入) of buses coming from the border and that more than 1,000 additional asylum (政治避难) seekers will arrive in New York City every week,” Adams said in a statement released on Sunday. “We need help from Washington.”
Seeking to draw the Biden administration’s attention to the growing immigrant crisis, Republican governors of border states such as Texas and Arizona have been shipping migrants to Democratic-controlled cities such as New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.
New York has received more than 31, 000 migrants and has opened 60 emergency shelters, mostly in hotels, as well as six other centers. New York City’s school chancellor
(校监) said in October that the school system has enrolled more than 5, 500 new migrant students, most of whom came from Latin America.
Adams, who declared a state of emergency over the migrant influx in October, said in a statement on Sunday that if nothing changes and the policy expires, the cost of absorbing new migrants was unsustainable and could lead to cuts to existing city programs.
“Our shelter system is full, and we are nearly out of money, staff, and space. To be honest, if corrective measures are not taken soon, we may very well be forced to cut programs New Yorkers rely on,” he said. Adams accused the federal government of
ign oring the city’s pleas for aid and accused Republicans and Democrats in Congress of failing to “raise their hand” to help.
1. Why are so many migrants supposed to arrive in New York City?
A．New York City faces a major labor shortage.
B．The immigration policy is to be no longer valid.
C．Washington has announced a new immigration rule.
D．New York City provides them with better living conditions.
2. Which might be a Republican-controlled place?
A．Washington, DC. B．Philadelphia.
C．New York City. D．Texas.
3. What does the underlined phrase “pleas for” in the last paragraph mean? A．Supplies of. B．Benefits of.
C．Rewards for. D．Demands for.
4. What is the most suitable title for the news report?
A．New York opens 60 emergency shelters
B．New York City hit by new immigrant flow
C．New York City needs help from Washington
D．New York City’s school system enrolls many migrant students
20. Russians have made important contributions to the development of science and technology, which has changed our daily life. Here are three Russian contributions for you to read.
Yogurt
Yogurt has a long history. Many Bulgarians claim it, was accidentally discovered in the country around 4, 000 years ago. But there was a Russian biologist named Elie Metchnikoff. 1
Metchnikoff travelled to Bulgaria and found a lot of people who were a hundred years old or older there. He then investigated the eating habits of residents and found that they often drank fermented(发酵的)milk.
He also read Bulgarian researcher Stamen Grigorov’s research. In 1905, Grigorov discovered one of the main bacteria in Bulgarian lactic acid bacteria(乳酸菌)responsible for transforming milk into yogurt.
So Metchnikoff came up with a theory that lactic acid is good for human health and prolongs human life. 2 He lived to be 71, longer than the average life expectancy at the time after consuming “untold gallons”of yogurt according to Time magazine.
Helicopter
Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky was born on May 25, 1889 in Kiev, which at the time was part of Russia. 3 Both of his parents were physicians, giving Sikorsky the scientific grounding that he needed to develop aircraft ideas.
In 1939, he achieved his goal. He completed the VS-300, piloting the craft himself during its first flight.
Periodic table
Have you ever memorized the periodic table of elements(元素周期表)? 4 It is a single document that helps the study and research of chemistry.
On Feb. 17, 1689, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev wrote down in a hurry the symbols for the chemical elements. 5 Thus, he invented the periodic table.
It was perhaps the greatest breakthrough in the history of chemistry. Indeed, nothing quite like it exists in the other subjects of science, according to Scientific American. A．Yogurt is usually very low in fat.
B．They contributed a lot to our society.
C．And to prove it, he drank yogurt every day.
D．He became interested in flight at an early age.
E．He first made its health aspects clear to the public.
F．It is one of the most powerful icons(代表)in science.
G．He put them in order according to their atomic weights.

22. 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Last week, I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Rush Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, who was an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me.
I could see that he hadn’t a long time to live, but he came up to me, and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor. He compared his to mine and watched 1 (intent), “Frank!” I cried in surprise, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.
My thoughts raced back to more than thirty years ago. My memory
was 2 (associate) with the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter(防空洞), in which about a hundred people slept every night. 3 we had to stay there was to make sure of our safety. That was the reason. Among them were Mrs.
West and her son Frank. Why Frank interested me was 4 he was not normal. He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby had. Mrs. West, then 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be of course, because Frank relied 5 her completely. 6 (raise) her disabled son was no easy job. She was a representative of a kind and she
devoted 7 (she) to looking after him.
One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs. West that her
house 8 (destroy) already. That wasn’t quite true. Though 9 (damage) badly, their House could still be used because the Wests went on living there for quite some
time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned. The 10 (restore) of the buildings needed a lot of time.
I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running—and placed his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted me in the same way.

34. Tom appeared in front of the house with a can of paint and a big brush. He was going to paint Aunt Poly’s fence as he was asked to. A deep sadness settled upon his heart. The fence was long and tall. He dipped the brush into the can and moved it along the first plank (板条) unwillingly. He did it again and again. The painted part was very small but the whole fence was endless. He felt tired and sleepy and stopped painting.
Just then Tom heard a noise. He recognized it easily. It came from one of his schoolmates, Ben, who would make strange noises as he ate. Ben was walking by and eating an apple. At that moment, a wonderful idea came to Tom and he began to, cheer up. He wanted first to arouse Ben’s interest and then let Ben work for him. If other boys passed by, he would do the same to them. “Maybe they even need to give me something for getting the chance to show their ability,” he thought.
He quickly took his brush and painted quietly. Ben saw Tom, walked up to him and greeted him with a wide smile.
Continuing with his painting, Tom intentionally did not look at Ben. He wished for his plan to work and therefore, he did not turn around from his work. Tom moved his brush gently and slowly, all the while taking no notice of Ben. Ben went closer and taunted (奚落)Tom, “Tom, it’s unfortunate that you have work to do. I’m going swimming. Don’t you wish you could go, too?”
Tom turned suddenly. “Oh, Ben. I didn’t see you. What do you mean by
‘unfortunate’? It may be work but it may not be.”
“Do you mean that you enjoy it?” Ben asked, feeling puzzled.
“Of course! How often do we get the chance to be in charge of painting a whole fence?” said Tom. Moving his brush and stepping away, Tom looked at the end result proudly.
Ben went closer to Tom, seeming curious. He stopped eating his applet watched Torn and became more and more interested. He then begged Tom to allow him to paint the fence. He even offered Tom his half-eaten apple. Tom directly refused and said, “Aunt Poly wants this main fence to be perfect. If it were the fence behind the house, you could help, but this main fence along the street must be done very carefully. Everyone can see it. There is hot one boy in a thousand who can do it well.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为100左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Again and again, Ben insisted on (坚持) being given the chance to have a try.
