Catherine crossed the hall and listened to the strong wind and heavy rain outside the ancientabbey (大寺院). She was scared when the wind shut a door. She felt even more scared as she imagined all the awful situations. Catherine was happy to be at her friends’ house. “I’m perfectly safe in this house. Eleanor’s room is near mine so I mustn’t be afraid.” she thought.She opened her bedroom door, saw a cheerful fire and was glad to be inside her room and not in the storm. Then she noticed the curtains were moving. As she walked to the windows to make sure there wasn’t a ghost behind them, she sang a little song to give her courage. She pulled back the curtains and looked behind them. Of course it was only the wind! She noticed an old box near the window. Now, Catherine, don’t start imagining what’s in that! Silly girl!She started to get ready for bed but she noticed a tall, black cupboard in the corner of the room. That can’t be the black cupboard Henry told me in his ghost story!

Japanese ikebana(花道)? No, it’s Chinese traditional flower arrangement. They seem similar, but actually differ.Recalling experiences in flower arrangement competitions abroad, Zhang Yan said her works were often mistaken for ikebana. “Some were quite astonished when I told them I’m from China. We need more publicity on Chinese traditional flower arrangement.”Zhang Yan first know about flower arrangement in college from an optional course she took. Back then, she never imagined that a single course could be the starting point of herlife-long career. Now, she hopes to do her part to introduce the art form to the world.The art of Chinese traditional flower arrangement has been handed down since 1046 BC．Historical records show it served as offerings at temples, decorations in palaces and art at homes.“Though it has a long history, the image of flower arrangement is still limited to the bouquets in flower shops,” Zhang said, “If people are familiar with the history of it, they would take pride in its centuries-old history and try to make it well-known.”As it was included in the second batch of National intangible Cultural Heritage(国家非物质文化遗产), more and more people including Zhang’s own daughter now are learning Chinese traditional flower arrangement. “Whether she makes it her career or not, I hope she can continue to hold an ability to enjoy the beauty around her,” Zhang added.“Unlike its Western counterpart, Chinese traditional flower arrangement emphasizes(强调) simplicity,” Zhang said. The arranger must decide on what is truly necessary in his or her work and remove the rest. Sometimes learners are moved to tears because they began to reflect on what is truly necessary in their lives. The healing(治疗) effect of Chinese traditional flower arrangement is realized when the arranger come to terms with what they truly want.In Zhang’s view, there are more to Chinese traditional flower arrangement besides its therapy effects, and the key lies in the exploration of traditional Chinese culture.“It came from traditional Chinese culture, and it is part of it,” Zhang argued. “Only when it absorbs enough nutrition from traditional Chinese culture can it bloom and be world-known. And our mission now is to inherit and develop traditional Chinese culture.”29．Which of the following has the similar meaning with “astonished” in Paragraph 2? A．Unhappy B．Surprised C．Nervous D．Excited 30．What do you know about Chinese traditional flower arrangement from the passage?A．It has had a history of 1046 years since it was handed down.B．When you arrange flowers, you’d better use as many flowers as you can.C．Zhang’s words show there’s still a long way before making it world-known.D．In ancient China, it was often used as decorations in many temples and palaces. 31．My friend is a busy office lady under great pressure, what may happen to her after doing flower arrangement according to Paragraph 7?A．She may find it difficult to choose from so many flowers and give up.B．She is sure to be a master of the flower arrangement.C．She may find it relaxing and think of running a flower shop.D．She may reflect on her life and work to make some wise choices.32．What’s the best title of this passage?A．Traditional Art Form in DangerB．The History of a Traditional Chinese Art FormC．Art That Blooms(开花) from Traditional CultureD．Zhang Yan - A Master of Chinese Traditional Chinese Flower ArrangementEver since the earliest people painted on cave walls, we have used art to explore our experiences and what it means to be human. But what if a work of art wasn’t created by a human? This is a question that’s being asked more and more as artists begin programming robots to create everything from paintings and sculptures to music and literature.In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program called AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add. Fifty years later, AARON is able to paint people, landscapes and just about anything else a human could paint.So, can AARON be called an artist or creative? In 2010, Cohen explained that although he wrote the first computer code that AARON follows, “AARON can produce unlimited numbers of images.” So according to Cohen, the simple answer is yes, AARON is creative.It’s not just paintings that robots are creating, though. Last year, a robot called Shimon made its first album(音乐专辑) on Spotify. Built by a team at Georgia Tech’s Center for Music Technology in the US, Shimon began life as a simple robot piano player. Over the years, however, it has learned how to work with other musicians, write songs and compose. Shimon does this by studying much music to know types and then uses that information to实用文档create works.It may be cool to hear a song created by a robot, but is there any other reason to build robots that can play music? According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon’s creators, because the robot is able to do things that a real musician might not think of, he and his team hope and believe that these new abilities would push human collaborators(合作者) to new directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human teamwork.Whether or not you believe that art created by robots is just as creative as art created by humans, there’s no doubt that robotic art assistants(助手) could have very good influence on artists. For one, they could cut down the time which an artist needs to do basic parts of art creation.33．Which of the following is TRUE about ARRON and Shimon?A．All people think ARRON is a great artist.B．ARRON can paint people and landscapes at first.C．Shimon is expected to push humans to achieve more.D．Shimon can do things that human musicians can’t do.34．Why can the robot be an assistant to help the artists?A．It may do better jobs than those real artists.B．It can create the art works as well as the real artist.C．It can make the artists spend less time creating art works than before.D．It can do some basic parts of the art creations to help artists save time.35．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A．B．C．D．36．What is the author’s opinion about the robots that create art?A．Supportive. B．Worried. C．Neutral(中立). D．Doubtful.四、阅读还原5选4You may have heard of Niagara Falls(尼亚加拉大瀑布), one of the biggest waterfalls in the world. But do you know about the Niagara Escarpment(断崖)? ____37____ Earlier this month, our school went on a hiking trip to this beautiful place.The weather was cold, cloudy and windy, so we wore more to stay warm. We were separated into two groups and went on different routes(路线). The whole escarpment is725km long. ____38____My favorite part of the trail(小道) was the cave. The cave was formed from many different shaped rocks. ____39____ We climbed down into the rocks with the help of our teachers. The rocks were steep and slippery(滑的) because they were covered with wet leaves. It was a fun and exciting experience for all of us.____40____ After walking 5 km without any rest, we were hungry and tired. When our teacher finally said we could stop to have lunch, we were very excited. After all, this trail was a little different from the ones I’m used to. It was more natural with lots of caves and rocks on the path, which made it harder to walk. But it was great exercise.Hiking is very interesting, but remember to stay warm, stay hydrated(保持体内水分) and have fun along the way!A．It was a challenging task indeed.B．It’s a long steep slope(陡坡) that runs through the US and Canada.C．Another exciting moment was lunch.D．But we only covered 8 km within about four hours.E．Some were huge while some were small.F．We chose the easier route to climb.五、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

How many stars will be able to see us in the next 5，000 years？______A. 319B. 1，715C. 1，396D. 2，03432. What does the underlined word " that"in paragraph 6 refer to？______A. A planet circling around one of those 1.715 stars.B. Advanced life.C. Oxygen on Earth.D. Human-made radio waves.33. What could prevent humans from exchanging messages with aliens according to Boss？______A. Human-made radio waves cannot travel far.B. Aliens don't exist.C. They can't understand each other.D. It takes a long time for messages to travel.34. What is the purpose of the text？______A. To present new findings published in a study.B. To discuss if there is advanced life on other stars.C. To raise reader's interest in aliens.D. To explain how messages travel between different star systems.DKatie Steller has her own salon（美发院）.She often takes her red chair and scissors around the city to give free haircuts.Edward was her first lucky customer.He looked to be in his 60s.He was going bald（脱发）and missing a few teeth.While she was cutting his grey hair，he told her about moving closer to his adult children.Till now，Steller has offered about 30 such haircuts.These people are all living a hard time，and she is aware of the power of her cleanup job."

Some of them really appeared in history, while some are the products of people’s imagination.Chun JunChun Jun was owned by Gou Jian, the King of the Yue State in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to Lost History of Yue, Gou Jian once invited Xue Zhu to appreciate（鉴赏）some valuable swords. Of all the swords presented to him, Xue appreciated only Chun Jun. He advised the King not to exchange this sword with others even for a combination（组合）of a thousand good horses, three rich towns and two big cities, because it was a creation of Man and Heaven（苍天）. Today the sword is kept in the Hubei Provincial Museum.Yu ChangYu Chang was a sword of bravery. According to Shiji, one day King Liao of the Wu State was enjoying some food served by Zhuan Zhu, a cook trying to kill the King. Before he heard an eagle（鹰）flying down to him, Yu Chang came out from the fish he was going to eat. With the sword, Zhuan Zhu wasted no time in pointing it at King Liao. Although Liao’s well-trained guards tried to protect him, the sword still reached him and stabbed（刺）into his heart.Zhan LuZhan Lu was more like a pair of eyes than a sword. Black in color, the long, unmarked sword gave a sense of kindness, rather than sharpness（锋利）. Like Heaven’s eyes, the sword watched the behavior of kings. If the king had moral integrity（骨气）, the sword would be with him and his country would be rich and strong; otherwise, the sword would leave him and his country would fall apart.Cheng YingIt is said that Cheng Ying was a long sword without a blade（刀片）. Strangely enough, it projected a shadow（投射阴影）upon the wall in the morning or the evening when thechange between daylight and darkness came. It was made in the Shang dynasty and later owned by Kong Zhou, a man from the State of Wei during the Spring and Autumn Period. 23．Which sword was used to kill one king?A．Chun Jun.B．Yu Chang.C．Zhan Lu.D．Cheng Ying. 24．According to the passage, Chun Jun was .A．worth three towns and two cities B．shaped like an eagleC．a sword of moral integrity D．a symbol of both Man and Heaven 25．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Yu Chang could make a noise of eagle.B．Cheng Ying was famous for its sharpness.C．Zhan Lu was probably out of imagination.D．Chun Jun was made up of horses and humans.Abanazar opened the door and came in. “You are more beautiful every day, Badr-al-Budur,” he smiled. “Your husband, that good-for-nothing Aladdin, is dead now. You must marry me. You can have gold, jewels, palaces, anything! But you must be my wife.”For the first time the princess smiled at Abanazar.“Why not?” she said. “You are a rich man and I am happy here. Yes, let’s drink to that.”And she gave him a tall gold cup with the drink and powder（粉末）in it.“Let’s drink from one cup, Abanazar.” she smiled at him. “You first, then me. In my country new husbands and wives always do this.”“To Badr-al-Budur, the most beautiful woman in Morocco,” Abanazar said happily, “and my wife.”He looked into Badr-al-Budur’s eyes and began to drink. Very afraid, the princess watched him. But it was good sleeping-powder, and after five seconds Abanazar’s eyes closed and he fell asleep.The Princess ran to the door of the next room.“Quick, Aladdin.” she called.Aladdin ran in with his sword（剑）and saw the sleeping magician. “Well done, my love!” he said. “Now, go into the next room and do not watch.”Badr-al-Budur ran out. Aladdin reached out his hand into Abanazar’s pocket and took out the lamp. He put it carefully into the pocket of his coat, and then stood up.The sword did its work quickly, and Abanazar never opened his eyes again.The princess came back into the room, and ran to Aladdin. He took her in his arms. “Themagician is dead.”he said. “And now we can go home”. He began to rub（摩擦）the lamp...WHOOSH!Fire and red smoke came from the lamp. The princess watched, afraid.“I am here, master,” said the jinnee（神仙）of the lamp. “What is your wish?”“Carry this palace, Badr-al-Budur, and me back to our city in Arabia. But leave that dog, Abanazar, here.”“To hear is to obey,” said the jinnee.When the Sultan looked out of his window and saw Aladdin’s palace again, he was a happy man. And when he took his daughter in his arms, he was the happiest man in Arabia.From that day, Aliaddin and Badr-al-Budur lived happily in their palace. They lived for many years, and had many children.

Okay, I had been lost ina new game. I was attracted into finishing all of its tasks, which kept me up till midnight. The interesting game was still in my head, but there was something more urgent to be done. I had to attend a conference 10 minutes later! Plenty of time. I got up slowly and spread out myarms and legs. I put on the VR glasses and sat myself down in a comfortable position. With five minutes to go, I still had time to calm myself and gather my mind. I looked at the bottom of the screen. Umm, it’s October 27th, 2031.9:00 a.m.The conference was off to a good start. We were talking about our latest project of developing come virtual (虚拟的) land to sell in the metaverse (元宇宙). The project was not simple and since I didn’t have breakfast, I couldn’t think well. While I was searching my desk for something to eat, it came to my mind suddenly that I was here in the metaverse, where no real food could be served.10:35 a.m.I was improving my project as a new nurse came in to give me a summary report. She was a little green, appearing nervous and making some speaking mistakes. I was about to give her some help when she suddenly disappeared. Then suddenly, she reappeared in front of me. “Sorry, it was my network connection.”12:05 a.m.Lunch time, at last! I couldn’t wait to take my glasses off. But at the thought of my completely empty fridge, I had to put on my glasses again to order food online. Seconds later, the doorbell rang and outside stood the deliveryman (投递员) holding my food.“Thanks for your delivery, but how come you look so realistic (逼真的)?” Curiosity drove me to ask, but it turned out that I was indeed dizzy (头晕的). “Sorry, perhaps I mean you are real rather than realistic.”29．What does the underlined word “urgent” probably mean in Chinese?A．紧急的B．真实的C．精彩的D．奇怪的30．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The writer stayed up late because he had to finish a hard project.B．The writer had a little breakfast because the time was limited.C．The new nurse was not a real person but a virtual one.D．The writer mistook the deliveryman for a real person.31．In 2031, the writer ________ according to the passage.A．can live on virtual food and drink B．have to receive take-out food from a real personC．can have a medical check through VR D．must attend meetings in front ofcomputers32．What kind of article is this passage?A．News report.B．Documentary.C．Advertisement.D．Science fiction.When I was well grown, at last, I was sold and taken away, and I never saw my mother again. She was broken-hearted and so was I, and we cried. But she comforted me as well as she could, saying that we were sent into this world for a wise and good purpose, and that we must do our duties（职责）without complaining. She said we should treat our life as we might find it, live it for the good of others, and never mind about the results; they were not our business. She said humans who did like this would have a noble（光荣的）and beautiful reward in another world. And although we dogs would not go there, to do well and right without rewards would give our short lives worth and dignity（尊严）, which in itself would be a reward.She had gathered these things from time to time when she went to the Sunday-school with her children, and had laid those words and phrases up in her memory more carefully than ever. And she had studied them deeply, for her good and ours. One may see from this that she had a wise and thoughtful head, but for all there was so much lightness in it.So we said our farewells（再见）, and looked at each other through our tears for the last time. And the last thing she said, keeping it for the last to make me remember it better, I think, was, “In memory for me, when there is a time of danger to others, do not think of yourself; think of your mother, and do as she would do.”Do you think I could forget that?

"Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job did Jerry really feel good about as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? " When we lookback, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words, Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky guy." or “You're a lucky gal. " That's being friendly. But "lucky dog" ? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is he doesn't think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at theperson talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. Spend some time thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you, and you may save another mistake.1. The questions in the first paragraph tell us that the speaker___________.A. feels happy because his friends were nice to himB. feels he may not have "read” his friends true feelings correctlyC. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend HelenD. is sorry that his friends let him down2. From the example "You're a lucky dog", we can learn that___________.A. the speaker of the sentence is friendlyB. it means the same as "You're a lucky guy. " or "You're a lucky gal.”C. sometimes the words used by the speaker give a tip to the feeling behind the wordsD. the word "dog" shouldn’t be used to describe a person3. The passage tries to tell you how to ___________.A. avoid mistakes about money and friendB. bring the "dog" bit into our conversationC. be friendly to other peopleD. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you4. What is important in listening to a person?A. To notice his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes.B. To listen to how he pronounces his words.C.
