The mixture then sits in pools to get rid of water,leaving the rest of its contents behind as brightly colored“mud”.Then heat and chemical reactions are used to get lithium from that, changing it into powder which is then packaged and shipped to buyers around the world.Any accident that releases mine contents into surrounding communities or thegroundwater supply could have unimaginable long-term impacts.To be specific,indigenous (土著的)communities often bear the damage,and political leaders have typically given little weight to their concerns.In Arizona,for example,an expanding lithium mine is threatening the Hualapai Tribe’s cultural and historic sites.Recently,mining lithium and other precious metals has brought about conflict:How do you ensure the availability of materials essential to the future of renewables while protecting those communities’rights?Mining of the metal is expected to increase dramatically in coming years.Over time, experts say,that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions(排放)by making electric cars more affordable and,therefore,more popular.As environmentally conscious consumers buy electric cars in ever-greater numbers,it’s important to be aware of the dirty process that powers those clean air vehicles.8．What does the author’s intention of writing Paragraph1?A．To introduce the background of an event.B．To explain a complex industrial theory.C．To describe a noticeable recent tendency.D．To predict the future of a maintechnology.9．Which may cause enormous environmental damage?A．Unexpected material leak.B．Violent chemical reactions.C．Wrong political decisions.D．Lithium mine expansion. 10．What’s the author’s attitude towards mining lithium?A．Intolerant.B．Uncaring.C．Favorable.D．Objective. 11．What’s the most suitable title for the text?A．High Expense of Lithium Mining B．Potential Benefit of Using LithiumC．Hidden Threat behind Clean Energy D．Bright Future of Renewable ResourcesThere’s no doubt that positive thinking impacts one’s life.However,in recent years,I’ve come to understand that perhaps positive thinking can result in toxic(有毒的)positivity, which has negative consequences.What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation(确认).Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isn’t appropriate.“It often comes at the risk of denying our own real feelings or the feelings of others,”says Nina Vasan,MD．While positive thinking in general is a great thing,toxic positivity isn’t.It’s the act of denying anything negative that’s actually happening,and it can二、七选五三、完形填空In2001,Tropical Storm Allison hit Houston.As a result,more than70,000houses were35．A．easy-going B．considerate C．warm-hearted D．alive五、开放性作文46．为激发学生英语学习的兴趣，你校将举办英文配音（voice acting）作品大赛。

She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”, and as she grew older, she became increasingly self-conscious about her inability to articulate herself. It wasn’t that she didn’t have anything to say—far from it. Mary’s mind was constantly racing with ideas and observations, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t seem to get the words out.“Mary, I need to talk to you,” Mr. Thompson, the boss of Mary’s new company, said one day, his voice serious. Mary’s heart sank. “Don’t worry,” Mr. Thompson said, noticing Mary’s panic. “It’s not that kind of conversation. I just wanted to talk to you about something that’s been on my mind lately.”He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department? Besides, I have another suggestion…”Mary kept nodding, unable to find the words to express her gratitude.Following Mr. Thompson’s suggestion, Mary joined a writing competition. She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.The judges of the competition were amazed by Mary’s essay, and they selected it as the winner. Mary was thrilled, and she was grateful to have finally found the right way to do a good job.4．What does the underlined word “articulate” mean in Paragraph 1?A．Teach.B．Express.C．Behave.D．Encourage. 5．Why did Mr. Thompson have a talk with Mary?A．To point out her mistakes.B．To advise her to quit the job.C．To offer her some help.D．To comfort her struggles.6．What was Mary’s feeling when creating her essay?A．Confident.B．Determined.C．Inspired.D．Relaxed. 7．What can best describe Mary’s experience?A．Actions speak louder than words.B．All things are easy that are done willingly.C．Loses on one side and gains on the other.D．Diligence can make up for lack of intelligence.This is the digital age, and the advice to managers is clear. If you don’t know what ChatGPT is or dislike the idea of working with a robot, enjoy your retirement. So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper. Undoubtedly, it can serve as a useful reminder of where the digital world’s limitations lie. Several recent studies highlighted the enduring value of this ancient technology in several different aspects.A study by Vicky Morwitz of Columbia Business School, Yanliu Huang of Drexel University and Zhen Yang of California State University, Fullerton, finds that paper calendars produce different behaviours from digital calendars. Users of old-fashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an App, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on apaper calendar matters.Here is another study from Maferima Touré-Tillery of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Lili Wang of Zhejiang University. In one part of their study, the researchers asked strangers to take a survey. Half the respondents were given a pen and paper to fill out a form; the other half were handed an iPad. When asked for their email address to receive information, those who used paper were much likelier to decide on a positive answer. The researchers believe that people make better decisions on paper because it feels more consequential than a digital screen. Paper-and-pen respondents were more likely than iPad users to think their choices indicated their characters better.Researchers had other findings. They found shoppers were willing to pay more for reading materials in printed form than those they could only download online. Even the sight of someone handling something can help online sales. Similarly, people browsing(浏览) in a virtual-reality(虚拟现实) shop was more willing to buy a T-shirt if they saw their own virtual hand touch it.8．How does the author lead in the topic?A．By telling a story.B．By giving examples.C．By raising questions.D．By describing a situation.9．Why can paper calendars make users stick to plans better?A．They are a better reminder.B．They can show more detailed plans.C．They provide chances for people to practice writing.D．They provide a better view of many days’ plans at a time.10．Which of the following did paper influence based on Paragraph 3?A．Decision.B．Sympathy.C．Efficiency.D．Responsibility. 11．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Paper posters will greatly promote sales online.B．E-magazines are thought less valuable than paper ones.C．Seeing others buy will increase one’s purchasing desire.D．People prefer items made of paper instead of other materials.This month, the Internet was flooded with wonderful digital art portraits, thanks to the work of the latest artificial intelligence-assisted application to go viral: Lensa. Users uploadedtheir photographs to the App and then—for a small fee—it used AI to transform their profile pictures into, say, a magical warrior princess version of themselves, in no time at all.This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are now better than ever in quality, speed and affordability. If that sounds great to you, you might not be one of the millions of humans whose livelihoods depend on being able to exchange those skillsfor money.Some artists predicted that a computer would recreate the aura of a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci in the near future. As long as there are enough data for the AI to train itself, it can copy numerous masterpieces just in several minutes. It seems unavoidable that a large number of artists would lose their jobs.“I see it less as a threat and more of an opportunity,” the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said, adding, “Like everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.”These tools are only as good as the data sets they are trained on. Human imagination, on the other hand, has no limit. For Dryhurst, an artist from Germany, AI models “could attempt to make a pale version of something we did years ago”, but that “doesn’t account for what we might do next”.The kind of artificial intelligence we might imagine replacing artists—an entirely autonomous creative robot—does not yet exist, but it is coming. And as AI becomes more universal, artists, illustrators and designers will ultimately be set apart not by if, but by how, they use the technology.12．Why does the author mention Lensa in Paragraph 1?A．To recommend the new App.B．To inform latest news.C．To lead in the AI topic.D．To introduce its new function. 13．What is Michelle Thompson’s attitude towards AI?A．Concerned.B．Favorable.C．Unclear.D．Critical. 14．What might be a weakness of AI in creating art works?A．Accuracy.B．Diversity.C．Creativity.D．Efficiency. 15．Which can be the best title for the text?A．Is AI coming into our daily life?B．Can AI copy masterpieces of great artists?C．Shall we welcome new AI technology?D．Will AI replace artists in the future?二、七选五What is forest bathing? This Japanese practice, known in Japan as shinrin yoku, is a process of relaxation. The simple method of being calm and quiet in the woods, observing nature around you while breathing deeply can help both adults and children relieve stress and boost health and well being in a natural way. ___16___Find a spot. Depending where you are, find a good source of nature. One doesn’t need to journey deep into a forest for these benefits.

You can take an adventure alone, or with a companion.Appreciate the silence. ___20___ If you’re lucky, you’ll find a wooded area that’s free from human-produced sound. Spend a few quiet moments with a favorite tree. If nothing else, when we connect with nature we are reminded that we are part of a larger whole. And that can lead us to be less selfish and to think more of others.A．Practice more often.B．Try different activities.C．Actively listen, smell, touch, and look.D．It could be an urban park or a nature preserve.E．Below are some tips for beginners to get started.F．Staying in silent areas is not the only way to forest bathing.G．One of the disadvantages of urban living is the constant noise.三、完形填空For better research and protection, elephants in the reserve should wear GPS collars (颈圈). Last June, it was Rommel’s ___21___ to wear a collar. He was a huge and aggressive elephant in the reserve, weighing about six tons. One morning, searching around the reserve, we ___22___ Rommel playing by the river. A tranquilliser (镇静剂) was carefully shot into his bottom so we could ___23___ place a collar on him.

For the first time in over a decade, I felt at my wit’s end in my freelance (自由职业) writing business for so long that I needed to get a part-time job for inspiration.My first day of employment was a few weeks before Thanksgiving on my 37th birthday. At first, I was worried about whether I could still physically do the job. But Olive Garden made it easy to relearn serving. For not long, my arms got stronger, I mastered the pace and got used to the chaos and I made friends with my co-workers.On Valentine’s Day, I was surprised by what I saw. That night, Olive Garden was a madhouse. A fight was about to break out in the kitchen. Instead of three or four tables in my section, I had more like nine. In the mid of all this chaos, I was struck with a deep sense of appreciation for what I was doing. Standing in that packed dining room, with my apron and name tag on, I saw myself in the guests — the big families getting together to celebrate love and the couples who were there on casual dates. It was a place of good memories.After that, I have made a practice of getting inside others’ minds, asking myself what people might be experiencing when they are in a confused or bad state. And I have made it a personal challenge to make them happy. Later, I left when my writing work became stable again, however, the experience provides me with completely fresh perspectives towards life.4．What does the underlined phrase “at my wit’s end” in Paragraph 1 mean?A．Dried up.B．Out of mind.C．Out of hope.D．Tired out.5．How did the writer feel about her part time job?A．It’s lucky to get a job to support her writing.B．It’s easy to serve the tables in Olive Garden.C．It’s a chance to bridge the employment gap.D．It’s challenging but she adapted to it quickly.6．What happened on that V alentine’s Day in Olive Garden?A．An awful fight occurred.B．It was crowded with mad people.C．It burst with many guests.D．Some servers left for celebration.7．What change did the experience bring to the writer?A．She became more considerate.B．She was better at making friends.C．She found writing more meaningful.D．She became braver to face challenges.Restart Dogs are currently working with Adult Estates training prisoners to raise and train puppies as assistance dogs. The analysis found the program led to a reduction in reoffending (再犯) rates in prisoners compared to those who had not participated.Based in the UK, Restart Dogs is a vocational education programme that trains adult prisoners to become assistance dog trainers. They raise and train dogs to become assistance dogs, teaching them key skills such as door manners, staying where they are asked, walking to heel on a loose lead, and settling next to their handlers while they work and study. But most importantly, they are learning to have faith in their handlers guiding them through their new adventures and environment.The programme is paid for by the Prisoners Fund, raised by the work that prisoners do in prison. There are a few conditions that prisoners must meet before they can take part in the programme, for example, they must be free of behaviour-related violation (违反) for a specified period before admittance to the programme as well as continued good behaviour throughout the programme.For prisoners, the benefits of training dogs have been well researched and recorded. Working with professionals to train dogs responsibly allows prisoners to improve their social skills, empathy, self-regulation, respect and overall well-being. The analysis reported a 36% difference in reoffending rates in the training group compared to the control group. These outcomes are similar to those found with more traditional programmes such as education, employment and trainingprogrammes.Meanwhile, for people in need of an assistance dog, there can often be a long waiting list due to the length of time it takes to train an assistance dog—it usually takes two to three years. Thanks to the work that Restart Dogs is doing, as well as training the dogs for future success and happiness, prisoners are able to get a second chance in society!8．What are the dogs mainly trained to learn?A．To follow orders.B．To cure the prisoners.C．To trust the trainers.D．To learn to be quiet.9．Which is the requirement for the participants?A．Having free time.B．Being well-behaved.C．Respecting officers.D．Sticking to the end.10．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A．The program works better than expected.B．The program contributes to positive outcomes.C．The trainer prisoners tend to be released early.D．The program can replace other traditional ones.11．What is the best title for the passage?A．A Reform was Conducted in PrisonsB．Great Wonders were Created by DogsC．A Program Helped to Reduce CrimesD．Prisoners Training Dogs Got TrainedThe Travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy is a highly-praised and prize winning book that highlights the globalization debates and reveals the key factors to make global business happen. Following a T-shirt’s life story from a Texas cotton field to a Chinese factory and back to a U. S. storefront before arriving at the used clothing market in Africa, the book uncovers a wealth of interesting questions about politics, trade, economics, ethics (道德学), and the impact of history on today’s business landscape.Pietra Rivoli’s story began at George Town University in Washington where she worked as a professor of finance and international business. One day, she encountered a student seminarabout globalized economy, where one student illustrated his views by giving the simple and accessible examples of T-shirts. She became inspired so one day she bought an ordinary T-shirt randomly for $5.99, deciding to look into how the process worked, which triggered the whole story. She travelled thousands of miles and across three continents to find out who did make these T-shirts that we all wear without giving a second thought about the journey each T-shirt had to go through to make it to the United States. She reached readers by using this simple, everyday T-shirt as a camera through which to explore all aspects of globalization in a historical context.The story is told in an interesting and efficient way to achieve its purpose of educating on global economy. The language used is simple for anyone interested in reading to understand the complex world of international trade. The book is written professionally from an economist’s point of view. Rivoli uses a neutral tone, which is uncommon among economic writers and policymakers. She says, “I have written this book not to defend a position, but first of all, to tell a story; not to convey morals but to discover them, and simply to see where the story leads”. 12．What is the usual journey does a T-shirt go?A．USA-Africa-USA-China.B．USA-China- USA-Africa.C．China- USA-China-Africa.D．USA-China-Africa-USA．13．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The travel of a T-shirt.B．The impact of the book.C．The wisdom of the writer.D．The background of the book.14．What role did the T-shirt play in the book?A．An example to show complex concepts.B．An effective way to inspire the students.C．A main contributor to global cooperation.D．An important way to earn a living globally.15．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To show where a T-shirt goes.B．To praise an insightful professor.C．To introduce a great economy book.D．To explain what global economy is.If your friends are happy, it turns out that you’re more likely to be happy too. If your friends are overweight, that too ups the likelihood that you’ll pack on pounds. 16The researchers analyzed the running activity of more than a million individuals worldwide who used an exercise tracking device for five years. They used weather patterns as a way to randomly examine different parts of that global network. On average, fine days would encourage people to run more, rainy or cold days less.Since different cities have different weather patterns, this natural experiment allowed them to ask: Did a rainy day in New York affect running in San Diego? If the weather in New York caused changes in the running behavior in San Diego, it could possibly happen through peer influences of the friends. 17 The behavior of one city’s runners could indeed affect the behavior of runners in another socially connected city.18 Women tended to be influenced more by the female runners in their networks. And less active runners tended to influence more active runners to run more, but not so much the other way around. 19 “We have to start thinking about consumers and citizens as networked consumers and citizens. Since they are easily influenced by and influence their social network in very strong and dynamic ways, it will change the way a particular intervention succeeds or fails.” Sinan Aral, the leading researcher said.Or, let’s put it this way. Next time, the doctors recommend people to do more exercise.20A．There were a few more findings.B．That was exactly what the researchers saw.C．More difficulties remained to be worked out.D．They will tell the same to their friends and family, too.E．The result provides some practical guidance for professionals.F．Runners in one city would run as much as peers in another city.G．Now researchers have identified another similar quality: exercise.二、完形填空A decade ago, the day before Christmas, my mother announced we were no longercelebrating Christmas. “Boys, go to find a big 21 that we can use as a tree”.

But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味蕾). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China.“I think it’s unfair to just classify Chinese cooking as one,” says Kian Lam Kho, an organizer of “Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy: Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America. “Even with the same dish or same cuisine, every family has a different variation.” That’s why the organizers say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the US, you’ll need to go beyond restaurants and into home kitchens, which can play a central role in many immigrants’ lives.“The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That’s the one place where you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains Audra Ang, another organizer.One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying, 80, of Manhattan. She worked as a live-in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen. These days, you can usually find her moving around her one-bedroom apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove. For Ni, a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes. She learned some of her techniques from her father, who made most of her family’s meals when she was a child. “I still miss the beef with stir-fried celery my father used to cook,” she says. And it’s the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni.4．What is the new museum exhibition mainly about?A．Cuisine of different countries.B．Exploration of famous restaurants. C．History of Chinese immigration.D．Stories of Chinese food and cooks. 5．Why does the kitchen play a key role in many immigrants’ lives?A．It provides a wealthy life.B．It brings a sense of belonging.C．It helps them to accept new cultures.D．It enables them to forget the past. 6．What can we learn about Ni Biying from Paragraph 4?A．She worked in a Chinese restaurant.B．She made most meals as a child.C．She learned cooking from her father.D．She lives with a big family.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Cuisine Gains New VariationsB．Home Cooking Brings More to the TableC．Immigrants Seek Their Fortune in the USD．Chinese Restaurant Tells Immigrant TalesLife continually requires that we write down a few words of thanks: for holidays, meals, presents or people’s place in our hearts. However, too often, our messages end up flat or somewhat unconvincing. To make our messages more effective, we might take a lesson from the history of art.To some extent, what distinguishes great from common art is the level of detail with which the world has been studied. A talented artist is, first and foremost, someone who takes us into the specifics of the reasons why an experience or a place felt valuable. They don’t merely tell us that spring is ‘nice’, they zero in on the particular contributing factors to this niceness: leaves that have the softness of a newborn’s hands, the contrast between a warm sun and a sharp breeze, the soft cry of baby blackbirds....Some of the reason why great artists are rare is that our minds are not well set up to understand why we feel as we do. But we can be confident if our minds have been affected, the reasons why they’ve been so will be somewhere, waiting to be uncovered. We stand to realise that it wasn’t so much that the food was ‘delicious’; but that the potatoes in particular had a charming rosemary and garlic flavour. A friend wasn’t just ‘nice’; they brought in a hugely sensitive and generous tone to bear in asking us what it had been like for us when we suffered. The details will be there, waiting for us to catch them.We don’t have to be great artists to send effective thank-you notes. We just need to locate and hold on tightly to two or three highly detailed reasons for our gratitude.8．What can we infer from paragraph 1?A．We seldom express gratitude by writing.B．We usually find messages of thanks touching.C．We should take a course for message writing.D．We may draw inspiration for thank-yous from arts.9．What does the underlined phrase “zero in on” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Leave out.B．Clear up.C．Focus on.D．Hold back. 10．How is paragraph 3 developed?A．By classification.B．By example.C．By definition.D．By process. 11．Which would the author recommend to express gratitude?A．I am blessed to have such a wonderful week.B．Your caring and warm smile lights up my day.C．Thank you so much for your great present.D．This is the most delicious dinner I’ve ever had.It’s mid-February and along Britain’s south coast gilt-head bream (鲷鱼) are swimming from the open sea into the river mouths. And this summer, countryside visitors throughout southern England will catch sight of blue flashes as small red-eyed damselflies fly across starry ponds. Both events are happening much further north than they would have 20 years ago.Fingers point at climate change. As areas become too hot or dry, many wildlife populations are declining, while some species are showing up in places that were historically too cold or wet.Our team, led by Alba Estrada, wanted to explain this phenomenon. If we could predict which species can and can’t colonise (移居于) new locations, we could decide which are most in need of conservation.How far individual animals or plant seeds can move was long thought to be the most important factor. But according to our findings, other characteristics also turned out to be highly important. For example, how quickly plants and animals can produce, how well they can compete with other species for resources, and what kinds of food they can eat or habitat they can live in.The result of this is that we might be able to predict which animals will survive underclimate change. The wood mouse is found throughout continental Europe. As climate changes, we think the mouse will move north because it can breed quickly, live in lots of habitats, has a broad diet, and individuals can travel a long way. On the other hand, consider the European ground squirrel. We think it might stay just in southeast Europe because it can only live in grasslands — and climate change won’t suddenly turn farms and forests into meadows (草坪).It’s encouraging to know that some species are doing well under climate change. There are some headaches, however. Those gilt-head bream are feeding on the local shellfish, which might be taking food away from the native fish. Small red-eyed damselflies look great, but they could become all too common around British ponds and outcompete native species. Climate change is once again posing us some tricky conservation questions.12．We can learn from paragraphs 1 &2 that ______ .A．people hold events to observe different speciesB．visitors have damaged the homes of many speciesC．species preferred extremely cold and wet environmentD．climate change makes some species move to new areas13．What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?A．What factors can influence colonisation.B．How far individual animals can travel.C．Why some species are declining.D．Where most species tend to live.14．Which might stand the least chance of colonisation?A．Gilt-head bream.B．Red-eyed damselflies.C．Wood mice.D．Ground squirrels.15．What’s the team’s attitude towards the colonisation?A．Ambiguous.B．Doubtful.C．Objective.D．Optimistic.If you’re an un-decider, even the simplest decisions can make your pulse race.____16____ .Here are some strategies for spending less time worrying about decisions.Go for good enoughSince perfectionism and indecision often go hand in hand, you should be moving from a mind-set that “only the best will do” to “good enough is good enough”. It helps to reflect onyour original goal. Did you begin the exhausting online shopping to find a toaster that could clean itself, roast carrots and also charge your cellphone? Or were you just looking for something that would brown your bread? ____17____ .Outsource ( 外包) decisionsResearch has shown that choices weaken the willpower and lead to decision fatigue (疲劳). That’s why indecisive people are advised to pick their “battles”. ____18____ . When it comes to wine, for example, all I want is a good glass with dinner. So rather than studying which to choose, I leave the decision to my local wine store, asking it to send me a case of surprises once in a while.The 90 percent RuleWhen a yes-or-no decision has many pros and cons, try the “90 percent rule”. This involves evaluating an opportunity on a scale from 0 to 100. If your interest falls anywhere below 90 percent, reduce its score to zero and reject it. ____19____ . Why would you deliberately choose to feel that way about an important choice in your life?____20____If you’re deciding whether to move across the country, imagine you’ve asked your best friend to choose for you. On the big day, she hands you an envelope; inside, it announces you’re leaving next month. Do you feel excited? Or disappointed? Using thought experiments to separate important variables can help you cut through the fog to see clarity.A．Cut through the fogB．Turn to friends for helpC．You could rely on habits and routinesD．In other words, be choosy about choosingE．Remembering your purpose can simplify the processF．Think about how you’d feel if you scored a 65 on some testG．And big, life-changing choices can cause a state of breaking down二、完形填空While Texans were in the thick of their unprecedented (前所未有的) winter storm, Chelsea Timmons was braving the elements to deliver groceries. She had just tapped “accept” on her final ____21____ of the day when storm started picking up. Chelsea ____22____ andmade it to her customer’s home, but then the worst happened: Her car was ____23____ .With the roads as ____24____ as they were, her car slid down the driveway.____25____ , it stopped just short of the house.
