She passed away five years ago at the age of 65, but the impact she has left on the world of architecture is profound.Hadid was born into an upper-class Iraqi family in 1950. At the very beginning, she wanted to become a mathematician and studied science at the American University of Beirut, But at some point she realized that she preferred shapes to numbers. And she turned her concentration to architecture and went to London where she met the famous Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas.“There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?” Hadid once said. Despite her abundance of amazing ideas, before the beginning of the 90s, not a single building based on her blueprints had been built. Her highly expressive style, while initially criticized and believed to be crazy, is now regarded as pioneering work. Her striking contemporary architecture, inspired by natural landforms, has graced the skylines of major metropolitan cities.“Women are always being told, ‘you’re not going to make it; It’s too difficult. You can’t do that Don’t enter this competition; You’ll never win it’,” Hadid said. “They need confidence in themselves and people around them for support.”Never one to be boxed in by conventions, Hadid proved society wrong. She received her first prize, the “Gold Medal Architectural Design” for her British Architecture in 1982. From then on, the awards kept rolling in. But the true triumph for Hadid came in 2004. Her project for the London Olympics Aquatic Center won her the Pritzker Architecture Prize. She became the first woman and first Muslim to earn the award, making a name for herself and paving the way for female architects. Hadid’s genius lives on in the array of many other spectacular build ings she has left behind in the world. Among them are the Guangzhou Opera House, the Beijing Daxing International Airport, as well as the Al Wakrah Stadium in Qatar where the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held.Hadid may be gone, but her global influence on a new generation of female architects is here to stay.4. What made Hadid quit science to learn architecture?A.Her talent in architecture.B.Her interest in architecture.C.Her difficulty in learning science.D.Her encounter with Rem Koolhaas.5. What can we learn about Hadid’s works?A.Her architecture was inspired by mathematicsB.Her British Architecture won her the Pritzker Architecture Prize.C.Her architecture style was too bold to be accepted at the very beginning.D.Her works can only be found in European countries and the Middle East.6. What does paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The talk between Hadid and her colleague.B.The reason why women fail to be architects.C.The prejudice from society against women.D.The difficulty Hadid faced being an architect.7. What is the most profound impact Hadid has left on the world?A.She formed a unique style.B.She broke away from the convention.C.She received various architecture awardsD.She encouraged other women architects.The tea that has delighted and fascinated the world for thousands of years has finally received top-level global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. China’s traditional tea-making was added on Tuesday to the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.The traditional tea processing techniques and associated social practices in China consist of knowledge, skills and practices concerning the management of tea plantations, picking of tea leaves, manual(手工的)processing, drinking and sharing of tea. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. Tea producers have developed six categories of tea: green, yellow, dark, white, oolong and black teas. Together with reprocessed teas, such as flower-scented teas, there are over 2, 000 tea products in China.Tea-related customs are not only found across the country, but also influence the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road and trade routes. Tea is ubiquitous in Chinese people’s daily life, as steeped(浸泡)or boiled tea is served in families, workplaces, tea houses, restaurants and temples, etc. It is also an important part of socialization and ceremonies such as weddings and sacrifices. The practice of greeting guests and building relationships within families and among neighbors through tea- related activities is common to multiple ethnic groups, providing a sense of shared identity and continuity for the communities.In China, 44 registered national-level intangible cultural heritage entries are related to tea. There are over 40 vocational colleges and 80 universities that have set up majors in tea science or tea culture, resulting in over 3,000 graduates specializing in tea production and art every year, according to the ministry.China now has 43 items on the intangible cultural heritage list, continuing to be the most enlisted country in the world.8. What can be learnt from the passage?A.Chinese producers developed 44 categories of tea.B.Tea is quite popular with people all over the country.C.More than 2,000 tea products could be found in China.D.There’ re about 300 graduates specializing in tea production every year.9. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” probably mean?A.rare B.common C.temporary D.available10. How does the author emphasize the promotion of tea culture in Paragraph 4?A.By listing figures. B.By making definitions.C.By giving examples. D.By making comparisons.11. In which kind of book may this text appear?A.A textbook. B.A travel journal.C.A story book. D.A cultural magazine.Award-winning Chinese shoe designer, Huang Qinqin, shares her transformative journey, combining cultural heritage and international design to shape the art of practical wear.Believing that the value of her products doesn’t lie in business operation, Huang always focuses on how to convey the stories behind her shoes to customers instead.“It is like storytelling, a natural ability I possess,” she said with a smile.However, Huang’s journey into design was unforeseen and it took her s everal years to discover her true passion. Huang switched her major from physics to international communications studies at university.While she found great enjoyment in these courses, she still didn’t know what she could do in the future.“One day, I grab bed a sheet of paper and began drawing some shoe designs I saw online.It was at that moment that the light suddenly dawned.” recalled Huang.To her astonishment, Huang discovered while international luxury shoe brands like Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin are household names, Chinese brands are rarely seen.This finding fueled Huang’s determination to pursue her career as a shoe designer, hoping to fill the blank in the international market.After returning to China from the UK, Huang established her own s hoe brand.“I think Chinese students studying abroad today all share a strong sense of mission—to showcase what China truly has to offer to the world,” Huang said.Looking back, Huang said that she took a long time to finally find her lifelong passion.“Ther e is a saying that one must achieve fame at a young age, but I believe it is never too late to unlock one’s potential, since everyone operates on their unique ‘time zone’,” she said.Before her current career path, Huang never stopped trying new things, including garden design and dance.These diverse experiences have all become precious treasures in her life, nurturing her self-directed learning abilities, which have turned out to be essential skills for her startup business today.12. What does Huang value most about her products?A.Design concept. B.Market share.C.Quality standard. D.Business operation.13. What further motivated Huang Qinqin to be a shoe designer?A.Passion for fashion and design.B.Lack of Chinese brands in the field.C.Desire to challenge conventional norms.D.Love for international luxury shoe brands.14. What can best describe Huang?A.Creative and flexible.B.Ambitious and easy-going.C.Talented and accessible.D.Responsible and humorous.15. What might Huang agree with?A.Well begun is half done.B.Think twice before you leap.C.Every step counts in your life.D.It matters much when you succeed.You know the feeling — your ears start to warm up, your tongue goes numb (麻木的), and you start sweating and taking deep brea ths. You’ve just eaten something spicy, knowing it would be painful, but you chose to do it anyway. Are humans just masochistic (自讨苦吃的), or is there something else going on? 16Spicy isn’t actually a taste like salty, sweet, sour and bitten —it’s a sens ation. 17 . When we eat foods containing capsaicin (辣椒素), our bodies are tricked into thinking the temperature is actually rising. In trying to relieve the burning sensation, our bodies release endorphins (内啡肽) which control pain and, at the same time, give a feeling of pleasure — like painkillers.This is what is happening chemically, but there is also a conscious side to choosing spicy food. Dr Tamara Rosenbaum, a Cognitive Neuroscientist, explains in an interview with the BBC that this is 18 . Furthermore, we obtain pleasure from the other ingredients chilli is generally cooked and eaten with—including fat, sugar and salt. So — like skydiving — eating chilli is a form of thrill-seeking, 19Humans, one of the few mammals on Earth that developed a taste for capsaicin, started cultivating chilli peppers about six thousand years ago. Human intervention changed the chilli pepper to suit human tastes and needs —including the pepper’s colour, size and capsaicin content-helping toexplain the many different types of chilli peppers now available. 20 . We eat around 57.3 million tons of peppers globally each year, and chilli is a key ingredient in traditional dishes from Mexico to Korea.When the bell rang on the last day of school, Susanna cheered along with her classmates.

AWe’ve tested hundreds of mom-approved products that happen to make perfect Mother’s Day gifts. Here are our recommendations.BabbelIf your mom has always wanted to learn a new language, give her the gift of gab with Babbel. Each online course will be personalized by her interests and molded into bite-sized lessons so she can easily learn at her own pace. It’s a great budget-friendly option for diving into a new language. We tested it and found it to be a fun and effective language learning tool.Thermo Works Thermapen Mk4When it comes to the best digital meat thermometers, it doesn’t get better than Thermo Works. We highly recommend the Thermapen ONE, which was the fastest and most accurate thermometer we tested and would have been our top pick if it wasn’t so expensive. But it’s waterproof, precise and fast-acting.A Bouqs SubscriptionFresh flowers at Mom’s doorstep will always be appreciated, especially on Mother’s Day. This year, instead of just one bouquet, gift her a subscription (订购)to Bouqs. You can change the frequency of the delivery along with the type of blooms she receives — roses one month, sunflowers the next. She may adorably text you a picture of her bouquet every month it arrives and remind you to maintain the subscription. Go ahead and switch it up to keep Mom on her toes.A Personalized Collage (拼贴画)There are few gifts better than personalized ones, especially when it comes to the mom who pretty much already has everything. With services like Minted, you can upload your own photos for a collage and watch your beautiful creation come to life. Customize the frame and color theme to best match mom’s style and watch her fall in love with her new heartfelt gift.1. What might discourage people from choosing the Thermapen ONE?A. Price.B.

Entertainment.BCourage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of“courage”is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. Originally, courage meant“to speak one’s mind by telling all one's heart.”While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started. But with practice and proper pace, you'll get there too.”“Yeah, don't let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That's how we improve and grow.”Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I've come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.4. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?A. To argue for the true essence of courage.B. To question the common belief of courage.C. To show the changing meaning of courage.D. To compare different interpretations of courage.5. What did the two students suggest the daughter do?A. Challenge her own limits.B. Seek help whenever possible.C. Keep to a suitable pace.D. Stick with experienced climbers.6. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?A. The mother asked the girl to rest.B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.C. The group celebrated the reach of the top.D. The two students pointed out the group's fault.7. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Kindness connects us all.B. Being a beginner takes courage.C. With courage, everyone can be perfect.D. We don't have to be a hero to be brave.CFrom crystal-blue lakes to snow-capped mountains and thousand-year-old trees, Canada’s nature is admired around the world. Now it might also be just what the doctor ordered. An ambitious new programme allows doctors to write prescriptions (处方) for free annual passes to Canada’s national parks, encouraging their patients to improve their health — both mental and physical — by taking a stroll (散步) in nature.The prescriptions are provided by PaRX, in partnership with Parks Canada. The first passes were handed out last month, giving holders access to more than 80 national parks, historic sites and nature reserves. PaRX, a health initiative (倡议) launched in 2019 by the British Columbia Parks Foundation, notes on its website that spending time in nature can lead to longer lives, increased energy, reduced stress and anxiety, improved heart health, less pain and better mood. Vitamin D from the sun’s rays has proven health benefits. The organization also hopes that the prescriptions will boost investment in conservation in Canada.The initial provision covers four Canadian provinces: British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Manitoba. Participating doctors have only 100 annual passes to hand out for now, but PaRX hopes that the programme will be expanded.“Medical research now clearly shows the positive health benefits of connecting with nature,” Steven Guilbeault, the environment minister, said. “I am confident this programme will quickly show its enormous value to the well-being of patients as it continues to expand throughout the country.”Canada’s physicians are already in the habit of prescribing “nature therapy” as a treatment for anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, immune function and insomnia (失眠). Previously, though, they would write more general prescriptions, such as spending time in nature twice a week, for at least 20 minutes at a time. This is the first time that they have been able to equip their patients with tickets.8. Why does the author mention Canada’s nature in paragraph 1?A. To recommend doctors’ prescriptions.B. To advertise Canada’s natural scenery.C. To introduce a health initiative program.D. To demonstrate health benefits of nature.9. What makes the prescriptions significant?A. A boom in park visiting.B. A rise in economy.C. Investment in conservation.D. Improvement in health.10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Patients doubt the general prescriptions.B. The previous “nature therapy” is popular.C. It is a tradition to offer patients park tickets.D. “Nature therapy” is no longer just on paper.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Nature Heals Mental DiseasesB. Canada Possesses Admirable NatureC. Doctors Order A Walk in The WildernessD. Canadian Doctors Have Free Access to ParksDFeeling overloaded by your to-do list can certainly make you unhappy, but new research suggests that more free time might not be the elixir many of us dream it could be.In a new study released last week, researchers analyzed data from two large-scale (大规模) surveys about how Americans spend their time. Together, the surveys included more than 35,000 respondents. The researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being — but only up to a point. People who had around two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. So ultimately the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.Part of finding this seemingly tricky “sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study argue. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things (like exercising) or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities ( like watching TV). Study participants believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was hypothetical, which is one limitation of the new research, it’s certainly in line with other research showing that being in a state of “flow” can be good for people’s mental health.Of course, what feels “productive” is up to you. Many traditionally productive or purposeful activities can be easy and fun. Engaging in a bit of low-key cardio, like walking and jogging, can help burn stress. Free-time activities like reading or cooking are also known to put people in a state of flow.12.What does the underlined word “elixir” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Magic solution.B. Physical power.C.Psychological test.D. Relaxed atmosphere.13.How did the researchers carry out the new study?A.By doing large-scale online surveys.B.By giving interviews and mental tests.C.By comparing respondents’ backgrounds.D.By conducting experiments and analyzing data.14.What is a distinct finding of the new research?A.Doing unproductive things leads to unhappiness.B.Being in a state of flow benefits people’s mental health.C.Man’s well-being is positively related to the free time they have.D.How people spend their free time affects their sense of well-being.15.What is the focus of the last paragraph?A.The importance of burning stress.B.Easy and fun activities to kill time.C.Further explanation of being productive.D.The benefits of engaging in free-time activities.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。

My wife, Krisztina Valter, is a scientist. One day, she went to a scientific activity with me. Most knowledge of biology went over my head, but one speaker attracted my attention. Jochen Zeil, a professor who studies animal behavior, presented a model of how insects could work out a way to go to a target despite having small brains.At lunch time, my wife introduced us. Zeil and I had a very enjoyable discussion about his idea and biology. Before we parted, I joked that if he wanted another PhD student, he could count me in. About a month later he emailed me, “Haven’t heard from you. Have you enrolled (注册) yet?” And that’s how, at the age of 53, I became a part-time doctorial student in biology.My background in biology had been out of date for many years, so I needed to learn the basics fast. It was not easy, but I got a lot of help from other laboratory members and my wife. The more I learnt, the more I realized how little I knew. Every paper caused the need to read more. It was tiring, and at times disappointing, but brought a lot of fun. You read, think, and suddenly things fall into place.But there is something I have to get used to. If you repeat an engineering experiement, you expect to get the same result. This is not so in behavior biology. Your experiment subjects actually have a mind of their own—You can put an ant on a trackball, but you can’t make it walk on the ball.Now at the age of 61, this period is nearly at an end. New knowledge enriches you, regardless of how old you are. My advice is that if you have the opportunity to enter a new field, take it.4.What did the author think of most of the knowledge about biology presented at the activity?A.He couldn’t think too highly of it.B.He couldn’t make sense of it.C.He considered it quite easy.D.He felt it was so practical.5.How did the author become a doctorial student in biology according to paragraph 2?A.He expected to realize his dream in his heart for long.B.He said something amusing and Zeil took it seriously.C.He was always urged by his wife to learn biology.D.He tried hard to persuade Zeil to take him in.6.What is the theme of third paragraph?A.The author’s good relationship with other laboratory members.B.The author’s difficulty in learning and his discouragement.C.The author’s learning experiences and his reflection.D.The author’s purpose of learning the subject.7.What can we infer from the author’s words in the last two paragraphs?A.Experimenting with insects may get a different result.B.Old people ought to work hard to get a college degree.C.The author prefers behavior bi ology to engineering now.D.Doing engineering experiments is easier than doing bi ology ones.A newly developed algorithm (算法) can spot depression in Twitter users with 88.39% accuracy. Developed by researchers at Brunel University London and the University of Leicester, the algorithm determines someone’s mental state by analyzing the 38 data points from their public Twitter information, including their posts, their posting times, and the other users in their social circle.“We tested the algorithm on two large databases and compared our results with those obtained by other depression detection techniques,” said Prof. Abdul Sadka, Director of Brunel’s Institute of Digital Futures. “In all cases, we’ve managed to make it perform better than existing techniques in terms of their classification accuracy.”The algorithm was trained by using two databases that contain the Twitter history ofthousands of users, as well as additional information about those users’ mental health. Eighty percent of the information in each database was used to teach the robot, with the other 20% then used to test its accuracy. The robot works by first excluding (排除) all users with fewer than five posts and running the remaining information through natural language software to correct for misspellings and short-form words. It then considers the 38 different data points—such as a user’s use of positive and negative words, the number of friends and followers they have, and their use of emojis—and makes a decision on that user’s mental and emotional state.The team says that such a system could potentially mark a user’s depression before they post something into the public websites on the Internet, paving the way for platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to proactively (积极行动地) warn users about their mental health issues. What’s more, the robot can also be used after a post has been made on the public platforms, potentially allowing employers and other businesses to assess a user’s mental state based on their social media posts. It could be used for a number of reasons, the researchers say, including the use in emotional analysis, criminal investigation or employment screening. 8.How does the robot determine a Twitter user’s mental state?A.By accessing the user’s previous health status.B.By inquiring about the user’s friends and followers.C.By discovering the misspellings and short-form words in the user’s posts.D.By taking into consideration the different aspects from the user’s public information. 9.Why does the author mention Prof Abdul Sadka’s words in paragraph 2?A.To show that the newly developed algorithm is better at depression detection.B.To emphasize the differences between depression detection techniques.C.To reveal the seriousness of depression among Twitter users.D.To introduce some ways to detect depression.10.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.What factors determine depression.B.The common symptoms of depression.C.Why researchers wanted to access people’s mental state.D.The training and working process of the algorithm system.11.What is one of the practical uses of knowing the users’ mental and emotional state?A.It can help improve the techniques of depression detection.B.It enables the platforms to provide medical service for their users.C.It can help companies select more suitable staff from some candidates.D.It makes it possible for websites to better protect their users’ privacy.With the recent ban on iPhone 12 sales in France due to radiation concerns, a potential snowball effect might appear, as other European Union member states could follow suit (效仿). In a statement to the press earlier this month, France’s Digital Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said radiation from the iPhone model was above what is legally permitted according to national technology watchdogs.The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for the iPhone 12, when worn close to the body, for example in trouser pockets, was found to be above the legal limit of 4wattsper kilogram. Apple now plans updates, in response to the radiation from iPhone 12, which is 5.74 watts per kilo, to be rolled out to all iPhone 12 owners across France.The French government warned that failure from Apple would need it to recall all the iPhone 12s already owned by consumers within the country. Currently the World Health Organisation states that there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that mobile phone radiation could be harmful to humans.Some organisations recommend caution for their use and support further definitive long-term research, which is why government safety guidelines are tentatively (实验性地) in place. It is true that phones emit radiation. However, it is generally assumed to be safe and is the same type used to transmit radio station frequencies.This is a different type compared to other forms of radiation such as x-rays, which we know to be harmful. So far, no good explanations have been found to demonstrate that radiation from mobile phones can affect people’s health. It is also unlikely that they will increase cancer risk as the energy emitted is generally thought of by scientists as being too weak to damage DNA.The issue has resulted in the French government expressing their attitude, and Apple is not the only manufacturer under scrutiny. Other brands such as Samsung and Motorola all have models which exceed the national limit. In fact, over 50 phone models across the major tech company sphere are included in the list by French technology watchdogs, with flagship products such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Motorola Edge all under scrutiny.While it is unlikely that mobile phone radiation is likely to damage health, France’sdramatic assertion(断言) over a tech giant like Apple has caused others to follow suit. Mathieu Michel, Belgium’s secretary of state for digitization, has also vowed to investigate the issue for the country, while Germany and Italy are also paying close attention to any developments.12.How much higher is the radiation from an iPhone 12 than that of the legal limit?A.1.32 watts per kilo.B.1.46 watts per kilo.C.1.57 watts per kilo.D.1.74 watts per kilo.13.What did the French government require Apple to do?A.To repair all the iPhone 12s sold in France.B.To update all the iPhone 12s sold in France.C.To ask for all the iPhone 12s to be returned.D.To replace all the iPhone 12s with other types.14.Which can replace the underlined word “scrutiny” in paragraph 6?A.Examination.B.Development.C.Instruction.D.Budget. 15.What is the best title for the news report?A.France promises to accuse Apple for iPhone 12B.France’s iPhone 12 ban leads to Apple’s protestC.France promises to reduce radiation level from iPhone 12D.France’s iPhone 12 ban could lead to EU-wide tech regulationQuick facts about OPTYear after year, international students from around the world come to the US in pursuit of one of the best educational offers in the world. 16 But for others the goal is to work in the US after graduation.What is OPT?17 Every international student in the US entitled (使有权利) to 12 months of practical training (i.e. work) in the US under OPT. Typically, if you are not a citizen of a particular country, then you are not allowed to work in that country without proper documents. Similarly, as an international student in the US without proper documents, OPT is one that allows you to do so.It is also important to note that students studying in the STEM fields get a 24-month extension in addition to the normal 12 months for a total of 36 months.18However, OPT only gives international students 12 months of employment. In the long run, foreigners would seek an H1-B visa in order to work in the US for the long term. 19 You will first need to find an company that would like to sponsor (赞助) you for your H1-B visa. This means that you have to apply for jobs, and on top of that, you have to make sure that if you accept a job offer, that company will want to pay the additional fee to sponsor you.Why not go straight for an H1-B after graduation?As stated previously, a company is required to sponsor you in order for you to be eligible (合格的) for an H1-B visa. This means that if you break the law, then the company sponsoring you will share responsibility in one way or another. Some companies might view sponsoring an international student as a legal responsibility. 20 If your goal really is to work in the US in the long run, then the OPT gives you a period of time to prove yourself to the company you’d like to work for.A.They wish to give others a hand.B.How can you apply for a suitable college?C.Thus they may not want to go that extra mile.D.OPT simply stands for Optional Practical Training.E.What if you want to work in the US for longer than that?F.Many students plan to make use of their degrees back home.G.Similar to applying for universities, there are requirements to apply for an H1-B visa.二、完形填空For 35 years, Floyd Martin has delivered the mail to residents in Marietta, Georgia.

But for Andrew, a herder at a farm in Zimbabwe, it's not a problem. Once he spo ts Toro, he knows the rest of the herd is nearby. That’s because Toro isn’t an ordinary member of the herd. He's a giraffe. In hot weather, cattle rest in the shade under his belly. And because of his height, Toro can spot lions long before they come close to the herd.Toro's unusual situation came about after his mother was killed by lions. Toro survived the attack, but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk. About two days later, some herders spotted and rescued him. With the permission of the Department of Wildlife, the herders moved Toro to Andrew's farm. Since giraffes and cattle are both plant-eating animals that live in groups, their behaviors are much the same. Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass.Toro doesn't always behave like the other members of his new herd. Like many kinds of animals, cattle compete for dominance (支配). Standing more than 13 feet tall, Toro is more than three times taller than the biggest bull, But Toro never tries to be ''the boss. ''He is very used to their company, '' Andrew said. When the herd enters the kraal (家畜栏), the cows and bulls push each other. ''But thanks to his height, Toro does not need to join the mess, '' said Andrew.When asked if Toro would ever be returned to the wild, Munetsi, an officer of the Department of Wildlife said no. ''In the wild, he would find it difficult to be accepted into another herd or defend himself from predators (猎食者),'' he added. ''He seems very much at home and is respected by the cattle.''21. What was Toro like when the herders found him?A. He was left alone.B. He was seriously ill.C. He was lost in the bush.D. He was fighting with lions.22. What do we know about Toro in the cattle herd?A. He has fought to be the leader.B. He gets along well with the herd.C. He is pushed around by the bulls.D. He stays away from the herd most of the time23. What will happen to Toro according to Munetsi?A. He will be sent back to the wild.B. He will be put into another herd of giraffes.C. He will continue to live together with Andrew.D. He will be trained to fight with the big animals.24. What may be the best title for the text?A. Giraffes under threat in the wildB. A surprising new family for a giraffeC. A new way of herding appearing in AfricaD. Moments showing friendship between animalsBWhen Faith Wanjiku graduated from the Technical University of Kenya last year, she immediately enrolled (注册) at the Confucius Institute in Kenyatta University. She wanted to learn Chinese, as she believed that it would help her land a good job.She has just completed the hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) 3 exam. HSK is a test of Chinese language level fornon-native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.However, this level isn’t enough for Wanjiku, who plans to pass HSK 6. She wanted to increase her level of Chinese and improve her spoken Chinese. And Wanjiku isn’t alone. The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of language to study around the world. Currently, middle school students in Russia can take Chinese as an elective language test in the country’s national colleg e entrance exam, Sputnik News reported.In May, Zambia became the fourth country in Africa-after Kenya, Uganda and South Africa—to introduce Chinese language to its schools.And many English-speaking countries have shown an interest in allowing their students to learn Chinese. The US government announced the launch of “1 Million Strong” in 2015, a plan that aims to bring the total number of learners of Chinese to l million by 2020.Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language learning is the internatio nal community’s positive attitude toward Chinas future development, as well as the people’s longing to learn about Chinese civilization and culture.Indeed, it’s as the former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela put it, “if you talk to a man in a lang uage he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”25. What did Wanjiku do after graduating from university?A. She went abroad.B. She learned Chinese.C. She found a job.D. She travelled to China.26. HSK is a test for ______.A. non-native speakersB. native speakersC. middle school studentsD. college students27. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Wangjiku has lots of friends.B. Lots of people want to pass HSK6 exam.C. Wangjiku has passed HSK3 exam.D. Many people want to live in China.28. What may be the best title for the text?A. Chinese Language Study Takes OffB. Chinese Play an Important Role in EconomyC.People Share the Experience of Learning ChineseD. Different Opinions about the Function of Chinese C Australia and New Zealand’s health organizations have given their advice on when to use sunscreen (防晒霜),suggesting Australians apply it every day to avoid bad health effects.A Sunscreen Summit took place in the Australian State of Queensland. During the summit, representatives from some of Australia’s leading research, medical and public health organizations examined the evidence on sunscreen use and determined that in most parts of the country it is beneficial to apply sunscreen every day.“Up until now, public health organizations have recommended applying sunscreen ahead of planned outdoor activities but haven t recommended applying it every day as part of a morning routine (惯例),” professor Rachel Neale from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute said. “In recent years, it has become clear that the DNA damage causes skin cancer and melanoma(黑色素瘤), which is caused by repeated small exposure to sunlight over a period of time,” Neale said. “In Australia, we get a lot of sun exposure from everyday activities such as alking to the bus stop or train station,” Neale said.A study showed that one in two Australians believed it was unhealthy and potentially dangerous to use sunscreen every day. However, Terry Slevin from the Public Health Association of Australia says it is wrong. “There is consistent and compelling evidence that sunscreens are safe,” Slevin said. “Importantly, medical trials have found that people who use sunscreen daily have the same levels of vitamin d as those w ho don’t,” Slevin added.Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world which is made worse by the country’s close to Antarctica where there is a hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层), letting in higher numbers of UV rays.29. What made Australian health organizations advise Australians to use sunscreen?A. The makers of sunscreen.B. Australian government.C.The Sunscreen Summit.D. New Zealand’s researchers.30. What is not recommended before the Sunscreen Summit? A. Using sunscreen before outdoor activities. B. Using sunscreen as a morning routine. C. Reducing the use of sunscreen. D. Reducing outdoor activities.31. What is the misunderstanding of many Australians?A. People using sunscreen won’t have skin cancer.B.Sunscreen will never take effect.C. People using sunscreen have the same levels of vitaminD. D. Sunscreen is bad for people’s health.32. Which of the following best explains “compelling” underlined in paragraph 4?A.Interesting. B. Disappointing. C. Boring. D. Convincing. D Scientists blame greenhouse gases for being a major cause of climate change around the world. This is becausegreenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and make the planet warmer.Now, a team of researchers has announced a successful experiment that turned carbon dioxide into useful liquid fuel. The researchers created a device, called a reactor, which changes bon dioxide into a pure form of formic acid(甲酸). Formic acid is a substance (物质) found in ants and some other insects, as well as in many plants. It is used as an antibacterial material and in the processing of some kinds of clothing.Haotian Wang led the research team. He said in a statement that the results of the experiment were important because formic acid is a major carrier of energy. So, the substance can provide a way to reuse carbon dioxide and prevent it from being released into the atmosphere. “It’s a fuel-cell fuel that can generate electricity and send out carbon dioxide which you can grab and recycle again,” Wang said.“Other methods for turning carbon dioxide into formic acid require intense purification processes,” Wang said. Such methods are very costly and require a lot of energy. The Rice University team said it was able to reduce the number of steps in the traditional process to create a low-cost, energy-saving method.The researchers reported the reactor device performed with a conversion rate (转化率) of 42 percent. This means that nearly half of the electrical energy can be stored in formic acid as liquid fuel. The team said the reactor was able to create formic acid continuously for 100 hours with little degradation (退化) of the device’s parts.Wang said the reactor could easily be used to produce other high-value products, including alcohol-based fuels. The researchers noted that the technology could also be a big help in solving another major energy problem—how to store large amounts of power in small places.33. What factor is the main cause of climate change?A. Greenhouse gases.B. Chemistry waste.C. Formic acid.D. Liquid fuel.34. What do we know about formic acid?A. It is a large amount of power.B. It can be found in ants.C. It is high- value equipment.D. It is a substance in clothing.35. What is Wang’s attitude towards his own research?A. Doubtful.B. Aggressive.C. Optimistic.D. Uncaring.36. In what magazine can you read this text?A. A travel magazine.B. A sports magazine.C. A music magazine.D. A science magazine.EThe 2016 Rio Olympic Games have come to an end. Without doubt, many Chinese sports fans sat in front of the TV and cheered our athletes on, hoping that they would get as many gold medals as possible.But sometimes our desire for gold medals can result in the sadness of failure. When Liu Xiang, China’s track hero, pulled out of the Beijing Olympics due to injury, he greatly disappointed many Chinese sports fans.But things are different now. In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, we saw a healthier Chinese attitude towards the sports people, fully in line with the Olympic spirit.China didn’t win any gold medals o n the first day. But, instead of criticizing(批评) the athletes who failed to win, most of the fans were happy with their efforts. “Looking at the results in the right way when an athlete misses out on gold shows the maturity(成熟) of a person, and is also a challenge for a country to face up to in the process of development,” commented CRI.Swimmer Fu Yuanhui won fans’ hearts, even if she only won the third place in the 100m backstroke final. Her fans on her Sina Weibo have increased 100,000 to over 6 million. Many sports fans appreciated her straightforward character and attitude towards competitions.“The warm support from Internet users shows that public attitude towards competitive sports and the Olympics has gotten to a higher level”, said an article in the People’s Daily.37. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Gold medals can also cause sadness.B. Liu Xiang always disappoints his fans.C. Fans have high expectations of Liu Xiang.D. Liu Xiang got injured before the Olympics.38. What is people’s attitu de now towards the athletes who failed?A. Interested.B. Understanding.C. Angry.D. Disappointed.39. What makes people like Fu Yuanhui?A. Her Sina Weibo.B. Her kindness to the fans.C. Her attitude to competitions.D. Her winning a gold medal.40. What does the author mainly want to tell us in this passage?A. Winning gold medals is important.B. Changing attitude to athletes is a must.C. Results are not important in the competition.D. Peoples’ attitude towards competitive sports is healthier.三、七选五(共5小题,每道题2分,共10分)After a long day at work, coming home is a breath of fresh air. ____41____ However, is it as healthy as it can be? Below are a number of things we can do to create a healthy home environment that will help to case the workday stress and promote our physical and mental health.Cleaning the house regularly is the first thing we should do.

AHere are top 4 destinations to start your new trip.IrelandIf you’re looking for the right mixture of history, culture and nature, you’ll find it in Ireland. You can enjoy surprising views here. If you’re in the mood for a boat trip, consider giving it a try in the evening in Cork—it’s truly magical.ItalyItaly has so many fascinating cities and places to visit, but it would be impossible to see them all in one go. A road trip could work, and Rome is a great place to start. You’re steeped in history throughout the city with the Pantheon and the Colosseum, as well as the historic and architectural gems in the Vatican City. Throw a coin into the Trevi di Fontana before you leave the city, which means you’ll return here one day.ThailandThailand has some of the best beaches in the world, even before Leonardo DiCaprio made Maya Bay, on Phi Phi Leh, lamous in The Beach. Admittedly, the film does a great job of describing this beautiful island, yet green waters and white sands are pretty standards in this country.United Arab EmiratesIf you’re one of those people who love all luxurious (奢侈的) things, then a trip to Dubai is for you. With year-long sun and grand hotels, this is the place for endless shopping, cocktail drinking by a plush pool and sunbathing on an artificial beach—the Palm Islands.

She shared her thoughts on Tuesday at an event in New York, where she was among those honored as being among Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2022, and she discussed her motivation and the possible roles she may play after the Olympics.Asked whether she had second thoughts about her decision to represent China in the Olympics, considering the current tension between the US and China, Gu said not at all.“No, I don’t have any regrets,” she said, because every day on her social media she receives messages from hundreds of young girls worldwide who call her their inspiration. “Sports are a shared experience transcending gender, age, race, background and culture,” Gu said, adding that they can bring about cultural exchanges, communication and uplift one another, generating a cycle of positivity.Gu also announced that she would be the ambassador for the US Winter Olympic Games bid in Salt Lake City in 2030. Gu said, “This is a beautiful exa mple of globalism and the capacity that we can use skiing, we can use sports, we can use the winter sports to connect people.”4.What do we know about Gu Ailing?A.She was a China-born Olympic skiing gold medalistB.She won four medals at the Beijing 2022 winter gamesC.She didn’t regret having represented China in the OlympicsD.She was honored as one of the 100 most influential people of 2022 by Thames5.Why did Eileen Gu compete for China?A.To win gold medals in the Winter OlympicsB.To motivate China’s young girls to love skiingC.To promote cultural exchanges, communication and uplift one anotherD.To announce that she would be the ambassador for the US Winter Olympic Games 6.What do sports mean to Gu?A.They are of benefit to health B.They are entertaining eventsC.They make athletes famous D.They create a positive cycle7.What is the text?A.A book review B.Health magazineC.Celebrity interview D.Personal diaryCSomalia, Kenya, and now Ethiopia are warning of a serious drought (干旱)that affects millions of people in Eastern Africa. In Ethiopia’s Somali area, people have seen the failures of what should have been three straight rainy seasons. Droughts do come and go over the years. However, the lack of rainfall has led to the driest conditions in 40 years in parts of Somalia and Ethiopia.UNICEF is the United Nation’s children’s agency. Local Zaynab Wali told a visiting team with UNICEF that she and her seven children had never seen a drought like this. She said the government gav e out food for animals during the last drought five years ago. “This time, we even don’t have enough food for our family.”Children walk among the bodies of dead animals, which died from lack of food and energy. Somalia Consortium works to improve international aid for Somalia. It said in a separate statement that in Somalia, more than 7 million people need emergency help. It is asking international organizations to give much more to the country.“We are just one month into the long dry season, and I have already lost 25 goats and sheep,” Hafsa Bedel in Ethiopia’s Somali area told UNICEF. She also lost four camels, a large desert animal, as well. She said there was nowhere for her animals to eat. She added that there was not enough food for her own family, including her six children.UNICEF thinks that more than 150,000 children in such areas of Ethiopia have dropped out of school. They are needed to help find the limited amount of water and help their families with other work.One young boy was seen supporting an animal, a donkey. The donkey was once important for carrying goods. But now, it had become too weak to walk on its own.8.Why did Zaynab Wali mention the last drought?A.To show the need to protect animals. B.To express her disappointment this time. C.To prove the high frequency of drought. D.To praise the government for its timely help. 9.What is Somalia Consortium trying to do now?A.Get more foreign help.B.Warn people of the risk of drought.C.Offer more education to the children there.D.Make clear the number of people in need.10.What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?A.The sweet picture of the boy and the animal.B.The functions of animals in farming.C.The importance of taking care of the weak animal.D.The seriousness of the drought.11.Which is the most suitable title for the text?A.Drought in Eastern Africa Leaves Animals in DangerB.Drought Makes People of Eastern Africa Leave Their HomeC.UN Officials Care for Children Affected by DroughtD.Millions Face Risk as Drought Affects Eastern AfricaDCan you imagine there being a community where boys and girls growing up together can finally speak different languages? In Ubang Nigeria, it really happens. It’s not exactly clear what percentage of the words in the men’s and women’s languages are different, but there are enough examples to make sentences sound different when spoken by the opposite sex. For “clothing”, men use the word “nki”, while women say “ariga”; “kitchi” means tree for men, while women say “okweng”. The se are not just some slight pronunciation differences, but totally different words. “It’s almost like two different lexicons (词汇集),” a language expert, Chi Chi Undle said. “There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don’t sound alike, and don’t have the same letters. They are completely different words.”Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue. It seems that there is a stage the male will reach and he discovers he is not using the rightful language. When he starts spe aking the men’s language, you know the maturity is coming into him.No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. Chi Chi Undie believes the two languages are the result of a “double-sex culture” where men and women operate in two separate spheres (范围) and live in separate worlds that rarely come together. However, she admits this is a weak theory, as the double-sex culture is present in many parts of Africa, where there are no different languages for men and women.Today, wit h English words constantly entering the lexicon of young Nigerians, Ubang’s two languages are in danger of being lost forever. Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation. 12.What do we know about languages in Ubang?A.Word differences account for a high percentage.B.Men and women speak totally different languages.C.Word differences partly exist between the opposite sex.D.Men and women pronounce differently on the same word.13.What does the underlined word “maturity” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Graduation. B.Adventure. C.Responsibility. D.Adulthood.14.What does Chi Chi Undie want to explore in Paragraph 3?A.The change of double-sex culture. B.The theory of doube-sex culture.C.The origin of double-language tradition. D.The sphere of double-language tradition. 15.How does the author feel about the disappearing languages in Ubang?A.Frightened. B.Concerned. C.Confused. D.Stressed.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。
