This year, dozens of artists could be found not in galleries but painting at an elementary school.Spanish painter Marina was one of the artists working at Hartner Elementary School in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. Her cartoon-style painting of elderly women doing aerobics (有氧操) is intended to get the kids to smile. By the end of last week, dozens of artists had contributed work decorating the walls at the school. The school’s playground is now overseen by a smiling group of chimpanzees.It’s all part of RAW, Reimagining the Arts in Wynwooda project organized by Robert de los Rios, which aims to bring art to the neighborhood. De los Rios first brought the project two years ago to another nearby school and it has had an obvious impact. “Students now feel that this is a place that they really want to be in. They take pride in their school,” says the principal. The school district has stepped up as well, funding new engineering and art programs at the school. Together they’vehelped boost enrollment (入学) and contributed to higher test scores-and it all started with the art covering the school’s walls.Many of the residents in Wynwood have never considered going into some of the galleries that are now common here. That’s one reason why Derick McKoy, Hartner’s principal, was eager to bring RAW project to his school. He says it’s a way to include his students in the neighborhood’s artistic life. “Some of my students are homeless,” McKoy says, “To offer those children access to this is what really touches my heart the most.” At Hartner, the project is already having an impact. McKoy says for his students now, art is cool.1. What is special about Art Basel fair this year?A.It had a large number of artists. B.It featured a wide variety of themes.C.It invited artists to paint at the school. D.It welcomed artists from different places.2. Why did Marina create her art works at Hartner Elementary School?A.To entertain the students. B.To promote her painting style.C.To decorate the neighborhood. D.To stress the importance of health.3. How did RAW change the students?A.They all found their interest. B.They achieved higher grades.C.They felt proud of themselves. D.They stayed at school longer.4. What’s Principal McKoy’s attitude towards RAW project?A.Objective. B.Uncaring. C.Curious. D.Welcoming. 23. A growing number of experts believe language can influence how we think just as our thoughts and culture can shape how language develops. One instance is that language appears to have a fascinating effect on the way we think about time.Scientists who believe in this have shown that English speakers typically view time as travelling from left to right, most likely in line with the way the English language is written. However, Hebrew speakers, who read and write from right to left picture time as following the same path as their text. Languages also encode(编码) time in grammar. In English for example, the future is one of three simple tenses, along with the past and the present-we say “it rained”, “it rains and “it will rain”. But in German, you can say Morgen regnet, meaning “it rains tomorrow” The same is true for many other languages including Chinese.But does this affect how we think? Keith Chen set out to test whether people who speak “futureless” languages might feel closer to the future than those speaking other languages. He discovered that speakers of futureless languages were more likely to engage in future focused activities. They were 31% more likely to have put money into savings and collected 39% more wealth by retirement. They were also 24% less likely to smoke, 29% more likely to be physically active, and 13% less likely to be medically obese(肥胖的). This result held even when controlling for factors such associoeconomic status and religion. In fact, countries with futureless languages on average 5% more of their GDP per year.It is becoming increasingly clear that language is influencing how we think about the world and our passage through it. This is not to say that any one language is “better” than another, but being aware of how languages differ helps you think and communicate better. And while learning a new language won’t necessarily make you a genius we can all gain a fresh viewpoint and more flexible understanding of theworld through it.1. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A.A comparison of different writing styles.B.A significant study on the direction of time.C.The special reading habit of Hebrew speakers.D.The effect of writing systems on views of time.2. What can we learn from Keith Chen’s experiment?A.German people mostly live at present.B.Chinese people tend to plan for the future.C.Futureless languages bring increased profits.D.Languages with future tenses call for change.3. What might the author suggest people do?A.Use foreign languages frequently.B.Choose among languages flexibly.C.Be careful with futureless languages.D.Pay attention to language differences.4. What is the best title for the text?A.Language Reflects the Local Culture.B.Language Affects Our Sense of Time.C.The Benefits of Learning a New Language.D.The Relation between language and thought.24. Cockatoos (凤头鹦鹉) are only the third animal besides humans and chimpanzees, known to pick tools flexibly based on the tasks they expect to face according to a study recently published in Current Biology.In 2021, scientists observed that cockatoos fashioned three tools — a wedge (楔子), a knife and a spoon — to help open fruits. It showed that they were making tools with different functions, but an important question remained; Did the birds use the tools as a set for the same goal, or just as responses to the result of the use of the former?To answer it, researchers designed a special puzzle box inside which was a grand prize: a cashew (腰果), the favorite food of cockatoos. Getting it out of the box required two tools: a short, sharp tool that ha d to first cut a film blocking the bird’s access to the nut and a long pole that had to be stuck into the hole to fish out the cashew.According to the observation, six of ten cockatoos found the correct solution. When a simpler box with no film was presented, they were likely to merely pick up the pole. Then the box was moved farther from the tools, meaning the birds had to choose the right tools and then carry them over. When deciding which tools to bring, the cockatoos planned ahead. If facing a box with a film, they figured out how to carry the tools together and would come prepared with both If without, they tended to bring the fishing pole.The study shows that cockatoos can use and transport tool sets flexibly for immediate future use, and thus their tool use is more than the sum of its parts. The researchers now hope to see if the birds can manage this even when the box is not in direct view, and further explore the evolutionary history of tool use in this species.Dr. Auersperg, one of the researchers, thinks the study proves an anti-bird phrase needs revising. “Bird brain,” she said, “should actually be a compliment.”1. Why does the author mention the 2021 research in paragraph 2?A.To reveal its limitation. B.To review a significant study.C.To establish the research goal. D.To introduce the research question.2. Which is the last step for the cockatoos to get the reward?A.Consider tool use B.Cut a hole in the film.C.Pull the pole from the box. D.Get out of the box to eat.3. What does the u nderlined word “compliment” in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Topic B.Reality C.Concern. D.Praise.4. What is the main idea of the text?A.Cockatoos are creative problem solvers.B.Cockatoos know to use tool sets flexibly.C.Cockatoos are the third smartest animals.D.Cockatoos adapt to environmental changes easily.25. Coral reefs, found only in warm, shallow waters, are made up of groups of tiny animals called coral. When coral die, they leave behind hard skeletons(骨架) that build up and form reefs. As newcoral grow on top, the reefs grow bigger. 1 Some look like boats, while others are shaped like horns. Some look almost like brains.Coral reefs take centuries to grow. 2 Some threats are natural. Storms bring giant waves that can destroy coral to bits and pieces. When heavy rains wash soil off the land, the soil ends up in the water, and it blocks out the sunlight that coral need to grow.Other threats, such as careless diving, come from humans. 3 Reef fish are highly sought by supermarkets and restaurants. To catch them alive so that they stay fresh longer some fishermen use a poison called cyanide. They spray the poison into the water, and it stuns(使……昏迷) the fish, but does not kill them. However, the poison can kill the coral and other reef inhabitants as well. Authorities are working hard to stop this kind of fishing. 4 “Fish need the reefs,” they explain. “If you kill the reefs, the fish will disappear. You are actually killing your own future.”Another threat to reefs is harder to control. It is the rising water temperatures. Water that is too warm causes coral to get “bleached”or lose their color. Then they die. Some scientists think that global warming may be causing ocean waters to warm up quickly. 526. Do you know someone who has a hard time opening bottles or jars at home?

She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school.The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures.For example, failure can help build relationships. Once was cooking dinner for a friend.I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her.Failure can make success ever more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly, and yet I still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! You can 't imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it.Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end—it can be a beginning.24.What can we learn about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs?A.She liked taking tests.B.She was afraid of failures.C.She often failed in study.D.She knew how to be perfect.25.What did the author finally get from a failed cooking?A.Bad feelings.B.Worries.C.A closer friendship.D.More experience.26.Why did the author feel excited after the running test?A.Because she could work out regularly.B.Because she received honey as a reward.C.Because she got another chance to take the test.D.Because she achieved success after many failures.27.The author wrote this passage________.A.to show the negative effects of failuresB.to point out her best friends fear of failuresC.to encourage the readers to face failures bravelyD.to introduce different types of failuresHoneybees can’t swim, and when their wings get wet, they can’t fly. But one study shows that honeybees do have another, less obvious choice to save them from death in the water: surfing.The discovery began with a lucky accident. When research engineer Chris Roh passed by Caltech’s Millikan Pond, he saw a honeybee resting in the water, and since it was midday, the honeybee’s shadow (影子) fell directly on the bottom of the pond. However, what really caught his eye was the waves created by the honeybee’s wings, as the waves from one wing crashed with those from the other wing.Roh brought honeybees to the lab, where he recreated the conditions, he saw at Mfillikan Pond. He placed a bee in a pan of still water and then shone filtered (过滤的) light from above to pretend it was the midday sun. He did this with 33 bees, but only for a few minutes one single bee at a time, and then gave each bee time to recover.While water prevents a bee from flying by clinging (紧附) to its wings, the same condition obviously provides another way for the bee to escape. The bee pulls water with its wings, creating waves that can push it forward.But there are some limitations. Obviously, the bees can’t produce enough force to get them out of the water. However, the wave can push them forward enough to the edge of the water, where they can then climb out and fly away. This behavior is more tiring than flying, and Roh guesses the bees can only hold it for about 10 minutes before using up their strength, so the chances to get out may, be limited.“This behavior has never been recorded in other insects,” Roh added. This study focused on honeybees, but future studies could investigate whether it is also used by other bee groupsor possibly even by other winged insects.28.According to the new study, what helps honeybees avoid death in water?A.The crash between their wings.B.The water clinging to their bodies.C.The strong will to get out of water.D.The waves produced by their wings.29.Why was filtered light used in the lab probably?A.To help the honeybees recover quickly.B.To make the honeybees gain more force.C.To keep the honeybees in warm conditions.D.To create a shadow on the bottom of the pan.30.How are the limitations of the honeybees’ way presented in paragraph 5?A.By using examples.B.By giving explanations.C.By making a comparison.D.By listing specific numbers.31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.No insects can surf other than honeybees.B.More methods will be used to study insects.C.Researches will be done into other bee species.D.Bees made more and more scientists concerned.What do you do when nobody is around to take your picture? You take a selfie(自拍照). But what about selfies in space? Last year, NASA astronaut(宇航员)Buzz Aldrin who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, said that he took the first selfie in space during the Gemini Ⅻ mission in 1966.“For me, it needs to be digital to be a selfie,” argues Jennifer Levasseur, who is in charge of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to Levasseur, the idea of a selfie is directly linked to Internet culture and the human wish to interact(互动)on social platforms. “The thing that makes a selfie is sharing it,” she says.Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras aboard space vehicles since the 1960s, and they’ve taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way. Astronauts had to pull the filmmagazines(胶卷暗盒)out and leave their cameras behind when they returned to Earth, because early space missions had a weight limit on the return trip.A big change in space camera technology came after the sad loss of the space shuttle Columbus, which broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003. “Fearing that they would never be able to bring the film back from space and lose all that hard work quickened the pace for digital,” Levasseur says.Today, astronauts can have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and post true space selfies taken by digital cameras. Taking selfies and sharing them on social media is a way that astronauts in space can participate in the same activities people on Earth do every day. The first astronaut selfie that went viral(网红的)on the Internet was one by Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide in 2012.32.What does Levasseur think of Aldrin’s words?A.It hardly makes any sense.B.It develops the technology of space selfies.C.It is different from public opinions.D.It needs to be further proved.33.Why were cameras left in space on early space missions?A.To lighten the weight of the spaceship.B.To test cameras in the special environment.C.To prepare for the next space exploration.D.To take more pictures in space.34.What pushed space camera technology?A.The invention of new films.B.The fear of falling behind in the space race.C.The concern about the loss of valuable date.D.The popularity of space selfies.35.What is the best title for the text?A.The Explanation of Space.B.The History of Selfies in Space.C.The Change in Space Camera TechnologyD.The Development in Space Technology三、七选五How your relationships affect your life expectancy(预期寿命) You probably know that things like diet and alcohol drinking affect your life expectancy, but what about relationships? ____36____While our relationships offer us so many gifts like companionship, laughter, fun and joy, they offer us so much more than that. Our relationships quite literally give us life.____37____Social integration(融合) is related to greater life satisfaction, better health and increased life expectancy. People with wide social networks are more likely to be happy, experience fewer health issues, experience better mental health and to live a lot longer.Having a solid social network is important for good healthThe safety and support experienced within our connections help calm ourstress-response system, keeping away from serious stress-related diseases. ____38____ Overall, social isolation(孤立) can increase our mortality rate by 91 per cent and contribute to premature death.The quality of our relationships mattersNow this doesn’t mean that we should dive head first into a relationship whenever we’re lonely in order to avoid early death. ____39____ Harmful relationships can be as isolating as being alone, so who we choose to break bread with is absolutely of great importance to our overall health.The good news is that the worsening of our health often takes decades to occur. And if our health is in fact harmed, social integration can help reduce the health issues we have acquired.____40____ If you should take anything from this, it’s that developing and lasting relationships can be just as significant to your health as taking vitamins is.A.Keep healthy and live longerB.The importance of human connectionC.Let’s explore how relationships can give you life.D.Or that we should seek to join just any social group.E.We should choose wisely to join a group that benefits our health.F.All of this said, it’s largely clear that human connection is important.G.However, lacking social connection can cause anxiety, depression and stress-related diseases.四、完形填空I’ve heard that it’s better to give than to receive.

ACoach your favourite sports to poor children in schools. Help these children to get a structured sporting education and see their joy as they pick up new skills. If that’s not enough sport for you, you can even get involved in playing with local teams in your evenings and at weekends.DescriptionAs a volunteer sports coach, you and your group will head to 3 schools each day to coach your chosen sport or a variety of them. Sports coaching volunteering involves not just teaching the kids, but also acting as a good role model. Children are aged about 10–13 and are often new to playing sport in a structured environment. You don’t need to be a top player to take part (though any champions are welcome!) — it’s your patience and drive that will make the biggest effects.Which sports to coach?Sports coaching volunteers can choose to specialize in coaching just one sport, but often we find that it is best to combine several sports for more variety. The freedom to choose between different sports makes the weeks even more diverse. Follow the links to find out more about each sport.Accommodation·The accommodation is located in a leafy suburb 10 minutes’ drive from the city centre and the seafront.·Sports volunteers share accommodation with childcare and teaching volunteers.FoodAll dietary requirements can be catered for, as long as we know about them in advance. Coaching children in sport will make you hungry — many volunteers choose to supplement (补充) their meals with snacks bought in the local shops, just 10 minutes’ walk away. There is a volunteer kitchen where participants can do any cooking they wish outside of mealtimes.Want to go travelling afterwards?We can arrange a week-long Garden Route tour after your time on the project. Follow the link to find out more about the Garden Route Tour.1. What can a volunteer do in the evenings if he wants to do more sports?A. Drive to the supermarket.B. Pay a visit to 3 schools.C.

Being motivated and patient.3. Where is the text probably from?A. A web page.B. A news magazine.C. A travel guide.D. An education paper.BInstead of escaping the summer heat in air-conditioning indoors, Mustafa Furkan Ozgener prefers the sunshine in an experimental seed field of over 200 kinds of melons in Pingluo County, Northwest China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Picking melons, weighing them, observing their growth, tasting, recording and taking pictures, the 31-year-old Turkish man runs his tests on up to 50 kinds of melons every day. “I love working in the field. Melons are favored in Turkey in the hot summers and my job here is to choose the best kinds for Turkish customers,” he said.Influenced by his father who used to do business in China, Ozgener majored in Chinese at university and therefore expected a journey to China one day. The young man visited China for the first time as an exchange student in Beijing. Two years later, Ozgener applied for a master’s degree in tourism management at China’s Sun Yat-sen University. Since then, he’s traveled around the country to learn about the colorful Chinese culture and enjoy different dishes. “The more I learn about China, the more I want to stay here,” said Ozgener. He worked as a translator in Ningxia after graduation.The company Ozgener works for now is a scientific and technological enterprise engaged in vegetable planting, production, promotion, import and export. It has bred over 70 new varieties of seeds and exported seeds to 27 countries and regions in Asia and Africa, including the Middle East.Before the outbreak of COVID-19, Ozgener would spend two months in Hainan and another four months in Ningxia to help foreign clients select seeds. Then he would go back to Turkey. But due to the epidemic (流行病), he has stayed in Ningxia for more than a year, observing and selecting target seeds in the field every day.“I used to do translation work only, but now I’m also responsible for all the stuff related to the seeds. It’s tiring but rewarding, because I can learn a lot. I will continue to pursue my dream here,” said Ozgener.4. Why does Ozgener work in the melon field in Ningxia?A. He likes the hot weather there.B. He prefers eating melons there.C. He loves working in the field there.D. His father wants him to work there.5. What do we know about Ozgener?A. He learned Chinese in Beijing as an exchange student.B. He worked in the field in Hainan after graduation.C. He traveled around China the first time he came there.D. He had a greater interest in China as time went by.6. What kind of person is Ozgener?A. Hard-working and determined.B. Energetic and patient.C. Kind and devoted.D. Ambitious and confident.7. What is the text mainly about?A. A man’s wonderful journey to China.B. Planting and selling melons in Turkey.C. A tiring job in the field in a hot summer.D. Going after a dream of planting seeds in Ningxia.CNow, a study proves that gardens are more than just a pretty place. The study, by researchers at Illinois State University, demonstrates that such constructed gardens can have a measurable and positive impact on water quality.Floating gardens are essentially platforms built and wrapped in coconut husks (椰子壳), and filled in with native plantings. As plants grow, they extend their roots into the water. On the North Branch of the Chicago River, non-profit Urban Rivers and its partners are developing a mile-long floating eco-park called the Wild Mile. The re-development of this former industrial canal is Urban Rivers’ important project. As part of the park, floating gardens, attached to shore, are being fixed.The primary aim of the floating gardens is beautification. But the Illinois State team, from the University’s Department of Geology, Geography, and the Environment, saw an ideal setup for a controlled experiment. “We joined it because it’s the perfect opportunity to see if there’s an influence on water quality,” explains lead author Abigail Heath.The study is novel: previous studies have explored floating gardens’ influence on water quality over time, primarily in wastewater treatment ponds, but not over space, in moving water. The project also matches well with Urban Rivers’ broader goals. “The city is interested in bettering water quality,” says Phil Nicodemus, Urban Rivers’ Director of Research. “Happily, Illinois State took part in it later.”Could this small human-made park improve water quality? An average of data collected over the course of the study shows middle but definitive improvement. For example, nitrogen (氮) dropped from 4.69 milligrams per liter in surface water to 4.43 milligrams per liter, a drop of about 1 percent.“Despite how small this garden was, there was measurable improvement in water quality from upstream to downstream,” notes Heath. She and her colleagues see this as a model for how large floating gardens should be to help improve water in similar settings. “Even this tiny garden makes a difference,” she says.8. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?A. The floating gardens are environmentally friendly.B. The floating gardens are fixed everywhere in the eco-park.C. The floating gardens can help fix the former parks.D. The Urban Rivers were once industrial canals.9. What is the main reason to build the floating gardens?A. To reduce waste water.B. To attract more visitors to the park.C. To make the surroundings brilliant.D. To help researchers do the experiment.A. The floating garden.B. The project.C. The treatment of ponds.D. The quality of water.11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Floating Gardens: More than PrettyB. The Best Way to Better Water QualityC. A Practical Method of Improving ParksD. Floating Gardens Beautify the CityDStressed at work and feeling your blood pressure rise? People all over the world are told by their doctors to try for a low-sodium (钠) diet to treat high blood pressure or other diseases, but there’s no denying that salt makes food taste good. Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets.These wired-up chopsticks are actually part of a device that the researchers say can enhance the salty flavor of low-sodium foods. And when they were tested on participants for the first time, results showed that the high-tech chopsticks increase perceived (察觉到) saltiness in foods by about 1.5 times.According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. Scientists have apparently been using this kind of weak electricity to play with flavors in the lab for years, but these chopsticks in particular are set to adjust the activity of ions (离子) in sodium chloride (table salt), which enhances salty flavor.And do these chopsticks work as expected? To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. If nothing else, one thing was clear: participants using the chopsticks tasted more salt than they did without. Results show that they even thought that low-sodium food eaten with the high-tech chopsticks tasted saltier than regular food made with an average amount of sodium, and eaten with normal chopsticks.The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come!12. What is the main function of the future high-tech chopsticks?A. To treat blood pressure.B. To test how salty a dish is.C. To increase the saltiness of food.D. To help reduce salt intake.13. How do the high-tech chopsticks work?A. By sending warning information to the brain.B. By changing the saltiness of food with electric shocks.C. By using electricity to transport ions between chopsticks.D. By tricking our brains into tasting extra salt.A. Confirm.B. Improve.C. Change.D. Strengthen.15. What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of the chopsticks?A. Doubtful.B. Optimistic.C. Uncertain.D. Pessimistic.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。

Her new novel Hidden Killers is out now. She is talking about three books that deeply affected her.Wuthering HeightsBy Emily BronteOne night as a child, I walked quietly into the bathroom when I heard a voice calling, “Let me in; let me in!” along with a terrible knock on a window coming from my grandma’s room. Quite afraid, I cried, “Help me! Where’s the ghost?” Grandma looked up and said, “Don’t be silly; I’m listening to a story on the radio called Wuthering Heights.” I joined my grandma and realized then how you could take a story from a book and change it to a different medium(媒介).The Water-BabiesBy Charles KingsleyThis classic Victorian story caught my imagination as a child. It made me consider the unfairness of life — why is one child sleeping in comfort and another forced to climb through a chimney(烟囱)? I especially loved all the questions Tom asks on his adventures, many of which are about social unfairness. All my life I’ve asked questions too.The Faerie QueeneBy Edmund SpenserI used to have problems reading — I was told I had “word blindness”. My mother gave me a copy of Spenser’s poem and said, “If you can learn some of this then you’ll be able to read anything.” I rose to the challenge. I learned it off by heart and was so proud of myself for keeping something that difficult in mind. Then I learned that I could learn words just as well as anyone.21.How did Lynda first know about the story of Wuthering Heights?A.By reading a book borrowed from her grandma.B.By listening to her grandma’s story.C.By reading a ghost story.D.By listening to it on the radio.22.Which book made Lynda form the habit of asking questions?A.Hidden Killers.B.The Water-Babies.C.Wuthering Heights.D.The Faerie Queene.23.What change did Lynda show after reading The Faerie Queene?A.She found pleasure in writing poems.B.She began to believe in herself.C.She fell in love with poems.D.She became word-smart.Lin Wanqi, a 26-year-old resident of Shanghai, was among the earliest to try Luckin Coffee’s new Moutai-flavored latte. Eager to sample this “young people’s first sip of Moutai”, she was curious about how her beloved coffee tastes with Chinese liquor in it. “The aroma of the alcohol is very strong and is well blended with the milk,” Lin shared.The coffee drink, packaged with an iconic Moutai-themed label and containing less than 0.5 percent (alcohol by volume) of 53 degrees Moutai, is priced at 38 yuan, although consumers can get it for 19 yuan using coupons. In recent years, Moutai has embarked on various creative campaigns to appeal to younger customers, introducing products like Moutai ice cream, scented sachets, and canvas bags. “This creative partnership lets Moutai make its brand younger,” Li Honghui, a marketing director for drinks. Li also pointed out that such creative collaborations (合作) can bring benefits to both brands. “Through partnerships, brands can share resources, expand the market, and bring more diversified and innovative products to consumers,” Li said.However, flawed partnerships may lead to negative consequences. Take the collaboration between Chinese coffee chain Manner and French luxury brand Louis Vuitton(LV), for example.Consumers could get a free LV canvas bag by buying at least two books in the coffee shop. The two books would cost at least 580 yuan. The campaign was sharply criticized for the high barrier of entry to receive the gift and many people doubted whether it was worth the price. “It’s important to maintain the high quality of the products in these partnerships rather than merely generate hype(炒作),” Li said.24.What did Lin Wanqi think of the new Moutai-flavored latte?A.Bitter.B.Smooth.C.Creamy.D.Aromatic. 25.Why is Moutai in association with Luckin Coffee?A.To get coupons.B.To attract other consumers.C.To share resources D.To maintain the high quality. 26.What does Li Honghui say about the partnership between Kweichow Moutai and Luckin Coffee?A.It is a win-win.B.It is creative-yet-risky.C.It still needs more promotion.D.It sets a good example for the market. 27.Which is the shortcoming of Manner Coffee and Louis Vuitton partnerships ?A.The gifts were of low quality.B.They come from different countries.C.The promotional method was improper.D.Their employees sold the gifts privately.To create is human. For the past 300,000 years, we’ve been unique in our ability to make art, cuisine, and societies to imagine and create something new where there was nothing before. Now we have company. While you’re reading this sentence, generative artificial intelligence programs are responding to emails, preparing tax returns, and providing health advice.Artificial intelligence has already had a wide impact on our lives. AIs have been used to price medicine and houses, assemble (组装) cars, determine what ads we see on social media. But generative AI, which can create wholly novel content, is much newer.Supporters believe this is just the beginning, that generative AI will change the way we work and engage with the world, unlock creativity and scientific discoveries, and allow human beings to achieve previously unimaginable goals.This shift marks the most important technological breakthrough since social media. Generative AI tools have been adopted greedily in recent months by the public, thanks to programs like ChatGPT, which responds to virtually any question, and Dall-E, which allows you to produce any image you dream up. In January, ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users.This craze caught off guard many tech companies and has stimulated an intense race in Silicon Valley. In weeks, Microsoft and Google have shifted their entire corporate strategies to seize control of what they believe profitable. Microsoft is investing $10 billion in Open AI, creator of ChatGPT and Dall-E, and announced plans to integrate generative AI into its Office software and search engine. Google declared a “code red” corporate emergency in response to the success of ChatGPT and rushed its own search-oriented chatbot to market.But this gold rush could also prove disastrous. In a winner-takes-all battle for power, these companies risk repeating past mistakes, such as prioritizing growth over safety. While there are many potentially good aspects of these new technologies, even tools designed for good can have unforeseen I and ruinous consequences. This is the story of how the gold rush began—and what history tells us about what could happen next.28.Which of the following is the particular function of generative AI?A.Price goods.B.Build vehicles.C.Decide ads on social media.D.Offer health suggestions.29.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The functions of generative AI.B.The programs of generative AI.C.People’s interest in generative AI.D.Companies’ investment in generative AI. 30.What does Microsoft plan to do?A.Shift its focus to Office software.B.Invest in another generative AI start-up.C.Integrate its search engine into Office software.D.Combine generative AI with its existing products.31.Why does the author mention the gold rush in the last paragraph?A.To emphasise the importance of history.B.To advocate the use of new technologies.C.To put off the development of generative AI.D.To warn of the potential danger of generative AI.In the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry. As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year, to battle climate change, it is necessary to turn the tide. So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly. But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet.The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new. Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxford scientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make theindustry carbon neutral (碳中和的).The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300°C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48 percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation.”32.Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A.Unique.B.Practical.C.Time-tested.D.Quick. 33.What problem does the aviation industry face?A.It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B.The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive.C.Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D.Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.34.What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A.It is green and cost-saving.B.It is complex and time-consuming.C.It runs tests in natural environment.D.It starts with immediate chemical reaction.35.What’s the purpose of the author?A.To attract people to explore the space.B.To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C.To warn us the dangers of climate change.D.To encourage us to work in the aviation industry.三、七选五How to write tip-top articlesArticles, like all pieces of writing, can be divided into three sections, a beginning, a middle and an end.The middle is the biggest part, and from the reader’s point of view it’s the most important — it is where the content lies. 36 It tends to be just a straightforward list of facts or events in time order.37 From the writer’s point of view, they need the most thought. Your opening paragraph has to grab the reader’s attention and pull them into piece that follows. It must be consistent with article as a whole and flow seamlessly (连贯流畅地) into it. Beginning give you a chance to shine as a writer. 38Endings are as important as introduction, and for the same reason. They are your last chance to impress readers and editors. 39 This can be done by summarizing what’s gone before or looking towards the future. It can work particularly well stylistically (文体上) if the end mirrors the beginning in some way.The best way to get good at intros and endings is to read a lot of them in a wide variety of magazines and newspapers. 40 Your version will be different because the subject matter will be different.All the above considered, you are bound to write excellent and impressive articles.A.It’s also the easiest bit to write.B.You will keep your writing fresh.C.Beginnings, by contrast, can be more difficult to do well.D.If you seize it, the editors may keep coming back to you with more work.E.That means writing a lot of good beginnings and ends that editors and readers appreciate.F.So you should conclude the piece with a flourish (华丽辞藻), or a satisfying sense of completion.G.Whenever you come across one that grabs your attention, copy the style in your own article.四、完形填空While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland.

You need to make sure you are putting the right food into your body to give youenough energy.Control the amount of sugary and salty foods you eat each day, like biscuits, chocolate and crisps.Try to change fizzy drinks (碳酸饮料) into water, and don’t eat them before bed because they aren’t good for your teeth and can keep you awake at night!Try to eat five portions (份) of fruit and vegetables a day or more if you can. Top tip: One portion is about a handful (一把).Foods like potatoes, bread, cereals (谷类食品), rice and noodles should make up about a third of the food you eat. They are a great source of energy, so try to include them at each of your main meals: breakfast, lunch and evening meal.Milk, cheese and yogurt are great sources of calcium (钙) which makes teeth and bones strong. You need to make sure you have some every day.Meat, fish, eggs and beans give us protein, vitamins and minerals (矿物质) which help us grow strong and healthy—you need some of these every day too.

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.八、未知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.九、阅读理解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 ofign 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 sheltersB.New York City hit by new immigrant flowC.New York City needs help from WashingtonD.New York City’s school system enrolls many migrant students20. 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.YogurtYogurt 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. 1Metchnikoff 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.HelicopterIgor 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 tableHave 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.21.
