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And that’s how, at the age of 53, I became a part-time doctorial student in biology.My background in biology had been out of date for many years, so I needed to learn the basics fast.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.

Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”34.What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?A.He felt disappointed.B.He gave up his hobby.C.He liked the weather there.D.He had disagreements with his family. 35.What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?A.Be careful!B.Well done!C.No way!D.Don’t worry! 36.Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?A.To join the skateboarding.B.To make new friends.C.To learn more tricks.D.To relive his childhood days 37.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A.Children should learn a second language.B.Sport is necessary for children’s health.C.Children need a sense of belongingD.Seeing the world is a must for children.With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(孤独), more families are choosing to live together.The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his mother-in-law, she lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol - one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof. They share a front door and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.“We floated the idea to my mum of sharing at a house,” says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts in: “We spoke more with Nick because I think it’s a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law.”And what does Nick think? “From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would.”It’s hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001to 419,000 in 2013.Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they everleft. It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991.The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted. In India, particularly outside cities, young women are expected to move in with their husband’s family when they get married.38.Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol?A.Nick.B.Rita.C.Kathryn D.The daughters. 39.What is Nick’s attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in -law?A.Positive.B.Carefree.C.Tolerant.D.Unwilling. 40.What is the author’s statement about multigenerational family based on?A.Family traditions.B.Financial reports.C.Publishedstatistics.D.Public opinions.41.What is the text mainly about?A.Lifestyles in different countries.B.Conflicts between generations.C.A housing problem in Britain.D.A rising trend of living in the UK.Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush(灌木丛)in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy(树冠层)of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their ownrain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually.

The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party. The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. 46 And it is good time to fill the new space with love and hopeful presents.47 Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local stores. Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains. Even if there isn’t a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.48 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served. There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into theirnew home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 49Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 50 Now most homes have central heating and don’t use fires to keep warm.A.This isn’t usual though.B.It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.C.You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.D.If you’re lucky enough to receive gifts, keep them in a safe place.E.It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.F.The best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together.G.This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.四、完形填空Laboratory.” That was the name students voted for after deciding that “Room 104” was tooI told the story to the class.

M:Up to10books at one time.The limit time is three weeks.(Text3)W:It’s been raining since Monday,but clear weather is forecast for tomorrow.M:I’m glad to hear that because I always play golf on Thursdays and I like to have good weather.(Text4)M:Emma,why are you so interested in movies?I don’t think all of them are wonderful.W:Well,maybe you’re right.I just like the feeling at the cinema.Don’t you think the atmosphere around there is relaxing?(Text5)W:Have you been losing weight?M:Yeah!As a matter of fact,I've been going to the gym for half a year now.W:I can tell.You look really buff.And no more beer belly.Have you been lifting weights?M:I do that an hour every other day.I tell you,it’s addicting!I feel like a new man.(Text6)M:Hi,Shelia.Are you looking forward to the coming weekend?W:Of course,I am very much looking forward to it.It’s been a busy week.M:Yes.What are you planning to do this weekend?W:I’ve no idea.How about you?M:Well,I’m thinking of playing tennis on Saturday afternoon.Tom and Mary want to play,too.Would you like to join us?W:Sure,that would be fun.I haven’t got anything planned on Saturday.I haven’t done exercise for ages.M:Great!How about,say,two o’clock?W:Good.That would be a good time for me.Where shall we meet?Why don’t I come to your place around1:30?M:OK.See you this Saturday.(Text7)W:What’s wrong,Peter?M:Mary,spring break is coming and I don’t have anything to do.My home is in Nicaragua.It’s too far away.We don’t have money for a ticket.W:Come home with me then.My parents would love to hear about Nicaragua and I know you’ll like them.M:But I don’t want to be in the way.W:You won’t be.Our family is big and we usually try to get together and have parties.You’ll be my special invited friend.M:Thank you.I’d love to go.(Text8)M:Good morning.Since so many of you have asked me about how to learn a language,I thought it might be useful to take some class time today to discuss it.Betty,you speak several languages,don’t you?W:Yes,I speak Spanish and French.M:And can you tell me what helped you most in leaning these languages?W:What helped me most...Well,I studied both languages in high school,and I’m still studying Spanish here at the university,but I think that travel has probably been most helpful to me.You see,I’m lucky that I’ve lived in Europe.Believe me,I didn’t speak very well before I moved here.M:Yes.When you live in a country where the language is spoken,it’s perfect.W:That’s true.But whether or not I’m living in a country where the language is spoken,I also watch TV or listen to the radio in the language I’m trying to learn.

M:Oh,it’s my pleasure.And please,call me Mike.W:OK.Mike,you’ve been cooking since you were a kid,and you’ve been a professional chef for over twenty years.What is it about cooking that you love so much?M:It’s the best way for people to communicate,in my opinion.You don’t need language,and you don’t need to have anything in common.All you need is to like to eat and drink,which most people do.It’s easy to make new friends when you share a meal together.W:So,what are some of the differences in the food of different countries?M:Well,in the West,people eat a lot of bread,while in Asia,rice and noodles are more common.Beef is very common in countries like the United States,but it’s not as popular in Northern Europe.To be honest,I prefer to think of ways in which food is similar around the world.W:What do you think is the most important factor in cooking?M:I think that fresh,local ingredients are the most important part of any type of ing the best of what a particular place has to offer,rather than fancy sauces or expensive spices,usually results in the best dishes.(Text10)M:Emergencies don’t happen very often.But when they do,you want to get help fast.No one wants to spend time looking up the phone number.That’s why911was created—to make it easy.In the United States and Canada,dialing911on your phone is the fastest way you can get help for yourself or someone else.Not too many years ago,people found that getting the right number for the right emergency workers could be very confusing especially if a person was in a hurry or in an unfamiliar area.In1968,the United States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies.They worked with the phonecompany to create a“Universal Emergency Number”.They decided that911was easy to remember.The very first911call was made on February16,1968.Today, 911is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.With911,you can reach the fire department,the police,or an ambulance. Other countries may use another three numbers.In Great Britain,for instance,it’s 999.If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area,check your phonebook.Please remember never call911as a joke or just to see what might happen.。

That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work.Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regards him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five- year - old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon.As Nalin was busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year.4.What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs?A.He drew teenagers’ growth in his work.B.He became a working artist when aged 13.C.He was disqualified for a juried exhibition.D.He showed his series at the capital art center.5.Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery?A.To promote artists by showcasing their work.B.To form the connection between different galleries.C.To expand his own business through themed shows.D.To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage.6.Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery?A.Pioneering.B.Short-lived.C.Popular.D.Unpromising. 7.What kind of person is Nalin Kamat according to the text?A.Helpful and cautious.B.Devoted and creative.C.Humorous and intelligent.D.Knowledgeable and ambitious.Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook. I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. Theytouched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering on.”8.Imitation proves useful when you ________.A.know you are unique B.lose the balance of lifeC.begin to learn something new D.get tired of routine practice9.What does the underlined word “glorifies” in paragraph 4 mean?A.complains.B.beautifies.C.dominates.D.refuses.10.The trouble a creator faces is ________.A.the lack of strong motivation B.the absence of practical ideasC.how to search for more materials D.how to use imagination creatively 11.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A.To highlight the importance of creativity.B.To criticize the characters of role models.C.To compare imitation with creation.D.To explain the meaning of success.Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “ extremely safer,” data suggests otherwise.According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least 17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention(干预), and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appearsrelatively small, but actually it’s not.Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency (透明) prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility.Safety exaggerations combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise.While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect(检测) emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology.12.What can we learn about Tesla’s driver-assistance-related crashes?A.736 fatal cases of self-driving are recorded.B.NHTSA focused on the crashes on highways.C.The total number of car crashes is extremely small.D.The incidents avoided are not counted in the crash statistics.13.What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims?A.They are supported by comprehensive data.B.They are based on limited driving environment.C.They are restricted to the experiences of satisfied customers.D.They have been proven to be accurate and reliable by NHTSA.14.What can we know about Full Self-Driving?A.It is ill-received.B.It is well-developed.C.It needs the driver to stay focused.D.It reduces the accidents greatly. 15.Which title best summarizes the content of this text?A.Concerns and Questions Surrounding Tesla’s “Self-Driving” CarsB.Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the RoadC.The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s TechnologyD.Reconstruction and Revolution of Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-DrivingGet lucky! Ways to make the universe in your favour every day In the grand universe, there are small yet powerful ways to turn the daily activities into a playground of possibilities.16 Well, good news — you can! Let these key insights give you power to start.Embrace a positive mindsetBy shifting your mindset from a focus on obstacles to a celebration of possibilities, you adopt a more optimistic approach to life, thus creating a magnetic energy that attracts opportunities and favourable outcomes. To do this, start your day by looking at yourself in the mirror, cry out positive statements, and form success in mind. There can be a statement for absolutely anything! “I’m so lucky, everything works out for me”, “I deeply and completely love and accept myself”, “I am grateful for all the blessings in my life”. 17Create your luck networkLuck often appears through connections and cooperation. The atmosphere you create will attract others. Therefore, building a network of like-minded individuals who can support and inspire you is extremely important. 18 The more you invest in meaningful relationships, the more opportunities for luck to show through shared experiences.Take calculated risksDespite the common belief that luck is purely random, taking calculated risks opens doors to unforeseen opportunities. Whether it’s pursuing a new career path, or stepping outside your comfort zone, calculated risks drive you into a space where luck is more likely to find you. Taking risks and stepping beyond comfort zones are described as actions that promote personal and professional growth. 19By following the above ways, you can actively make the universe in your favour each and every day. As you start this journey, remember that luck is not a passive force. 20 So, go ahead, get lucky, and watch as the universe goes in your favour.A.Wonder how you can get lucky in the universe?B.Ever wish you could make the universe in your favour?C.It’s also important to have a clear understanding of your objectives.D.Just a few examples, but get creative and state them loud and proud.E.Embrace the discomfort of the unknown, and you will create a rich ground for luck. F.Attend events, engage with communities, or spend time to connect with your loved ones. G.It’s a positive energy that responds to your thoughts, actions and the intentional choices you make.二、完形填空Here I was, sitting in the roller coaster (过山车) cart of Kingda Ka in New Jersey, the tallest and second fastest roller coaster on Earth. My friends shouted in excitement, while I shakily 21 my hands on my shorts. “How can you be so excited when...”My words caught in my throat and melted into screams as the roller coaster suddenly 22 forward. It was the fastest 23 I had ever experienced in my life: 128 miles per hour. I screamed at the top of my 24 as fear froze me up from inside. We rapidly moved up the skinny hump (驼峰) rising into the clouds at a ninety degree angle, having crossed the track bringing us forward in mere 25 .26 , close to the highest part of the hump, I 27 a little. My screams became less terrified and more energetic. Once we reached the 28 of the hump, I could almost touch the sky.And then we were spiraling (盘旋) downwards, curving and twisting and 29 towards Earth at the same speed. 30 I realized it, we had already met the ground. It was a thirty -second - long ride. I managed to 31 the entire ride without a breakdown.I gasped in surprise. It was over. I had not only survived the ride—I had 32 it. My friend turned to me, her eyes 33 . “Are you ready for the next roller coaster?”My head felt light as we walked away from the ride spinning with something I didn’t 34 recognize. It took me a few minutes to put a name to it — thrill. “I’m ready for anything.”Until today, that 35 ride that I went on 20 years ago is still kept alive in mymemory.21.A.wiped B.waved C.joined D.cleaned 22.A.removed B.rocketed C.struggled D.marched 23.A.launch B.operation C.ride D.flight 24.A.cheeks B.throat C.heart D.lungs 25.A.minutes B.hours C.seconds D.occasions 26.A.Instead B.Meanwhile C.Therefore D.However 27.A.broke down B.calmed down C.made up D.dressed up 28.A.top B.point C.track D.location 29.A.swinging B.escaping C.shooting D.roaring 30.A.After B.Though C.Before D.While 31.A.take off B.carry on C.go through D.get through 32.A.enjoyed B.deserved C.hated D.confirmed 33.A.bright B.wet C.closed D.open 34.A.gradually B.absolutely C.immediately D.eventually 35.A.romantic B.thrilling C.alarming D.awkward三、语法填空阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。

2022-2023学年安徽省池州市青阳县第一中学高二上学期11月期中英语试题The Most Innovative Libraries Around the WorldSome libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the bookshelves and settle down with a new book, or use mobile libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.Biblioteca Vasconcelos (Mexico)It is a huge library with towering floors. The inside of the library is more like a massive storage facility than a library. The outside is surrounded by almost acres of lush gardens devoted to plants unique to Mexico.Beach Library (Bulgaria)Reading a book on the beach is a classic practice, and in Bulgaria, one library encourages tourists to do just that. The white, weather-resistant shelves lined up not far from the sea feature 6,000 books in 15 languages, so every visitor can enjoy perfect beach read while bathed in the sun’s rays.Bishan Library (Singapore)Built in 2006, this library, with glass pods of varying colors, creates a cozy atmosphere for reading throughout the building. At the same time, a more open-plan children’s room on the basement level invites interaction while preventing noise from going upward and disturbing those concentrating on their books.Seikei University Library (Japan)Libraries are usually known for their quiet atmosphere, but this one encourages conversation. Pritzker Prize-winner Shigeru Ban designed the library with soundproofed walls to respect those who need uninterrupted study, while also encourage other methods of learning like study groups and lively discussions.1. What do Biblioteca Vasconcelos and Beach Library have in common?A.Readers use them as a storage house. B.Readers enjoy both nature andknowledge.C.They put bookshelves in the open air. D.They have features of their owncountries.2. A person with a project to discuss with his follow workers can go to ______.A.Biblioteca Vaconcelos. B.Beach Library.C.Biskan Library. D.Seikei University Library.3. In which section of the magazine can the text be found?A.Science. B.Travel. C.Entertainment. D.Literature.On Thursdays, Charles Dandino becomes the conductor of an unusual kind of train. He leads what he calls a “ bike train, ” a group of cycling co-workers who band together for their 6-mile ride to work in the name of safety, as well as for fun and exercise.After rising for several years, the percentage of commuters (通勤者) turning to bikes declined for the third year straight. In some cities, the decline was far more serious. In Tampa, Florida, and Cleveland, cycling to work dropped by at least 50 percent.Experts offered several explanations for the nationwide decrease. Most obviously, lower gas prices and a stronger economy contributed to strong auto sales and less interest in cheaper alternatives, such as mass transit and bikes. The rise of ride-hailing services (叫车服务) such as Uber and electric scooters cut into bike commuting.Around the country, city transportation officials wish there were more bicyclists like Dondino as they seek to cut traffic jams, promote health and identify alternatives to cars. Federal highway spending on bike and pedestrian-related improvements totaled $915.8 million this year. City officials tried to support bike commuters. Besides new bike lanes and trails, many cities added bike sharing programs, which allow cyclists to rent a bike to ride point-to-point or for the day.For bike commuters, safety is a top consideration. It was one of the reasons that Dandino created his bicycle train. “ Riding bikes in a group is more thrilling and a joy to do, ” said Dandino. “ On the safety side, it makes us much more visible, and there’s strength in numbers. ”Barbara Insua al so rides regularly with Dandino’s bike train. She said she loved getting a workout on the way to her job. “ Uphill to work. Downhill home, ” she said. “ There are so many wonderful things about biking. ”4. What was Charles Dandino’s main purpose to create the “ bike train ” ?A.To protect the environment. B.To reduce gas consuming.C.To guarantee cyclists’ safety.D.To support the officials.5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Reasons for decline of cycling. B.Contributions of a stronger economy.C.Methods of being bike friendly. D.Explanations for lower gas prices.6. How do city transport officials support bike commuting?A.By cutting traffic jams. B.By promoting alternative cars.C.By building bike lanes. D.By improving public transport.7. Why does the author mention Barbara Insua?A.To clarify a novel concept. B.To provide more evidence.C.To show a different opinion. D.To offer background information.Despite being located in a bustling urban part of Huanggang in Hubei, Xiao Yaqin’s apar tment block stands out because of its green appearance resulting from being wrapped in green plants. “ It makes me feel very comfortable. When you open the window, fresh air keeps rolling in, ” the 65-year-old said excitedly.He was one of the first group of residents that recently moved into China’s first “ vertical (垂直的) forest ” residential project, consisting of two 80-meter-tall, 25-story buildings.The project is the result of cooperation between Easyhome and Italian architect Stefano Boering, often c alled “ the father of the vertical forest ” . There are 404 trees and 4,620 shrubs (灌木丛) in the vertical forest, which is classified as the “ fourth generation ” of housing. Grasses, flowers and climbing plants cover 2,408m2 of the floor area. The plants are estimated to be capable of absorbing 22 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere per year, while generating 11 tons of oxygen.However, its development hasn’t been met without doubt. For example, mosquito infestations (感染) are one of the reasons why people are reluctant to move in. The irrigation system required to ensure the survival of the plants in the vertical forest and the need to have gardeners cut the branches mean much higher maintenance costs than in regular buildings.It is not yet known what the future of fourth-generation housing will be in China, but it has at least brought urban residents a new life experience. Xiao, the retiree, said his new apartment has met his expectations for better quality of life. “ You feel you are close to nature, even if you don’t open the window, ” he said.8. How does the author introduce the topic?A.By presenting Xiao Yaqin’s example.B.By describing features of the apartment.C.By imagining Xiao Yaqin’s life.D.By showing the apartment’s popularity.9. What can we learn about the “ vertical forest ” ?A.Easyhome designed and built the project.B.Its plants produce 22 metric tons of oxygen.C.It faces problems of mosquitoes and high costs.D.The residents have to look after the plants.10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the fourth-generation housing?A.Critical. B.Concerned. C.Supportive. D.Unclear.11. What is the main purpose of the text?A.To predict the future way of living. B.To introduce a new type of housing.C.To discuss problems facing residents. D.To advertise the vertical forest project. Life is noisier than ever before — there are louder and more TVs, speaker, and electronic device notifications in public spaces and open-plan offices. Across Europe, about 450 million people live with noise levels that are dangerous to health. All this has serious effects on our mental health, our physical health, and our ability to generate creative work.We define “ noise ” as all the unwanted sound and mental stimulation (刺激) that interferes with our ability to make sense of the world and our ability to act upon our intentions. In this sense, noise is more than a nuisance. It’s a primary barrier to being able to identify and carry out solutions to the challenges we face as individuals, organizations, and even whole societies.So, how can we build cultures that honor the importance of silence? At some organizations, it’s “no email Fridays” or “no meeting Wednesdays.” At others, it’s removing the expectation of being available on electronic devices during weekends or after 5 pm. For some workplaces, a redesign of the work space might help specific kinds of workers get the focus that they need. One solution might be permitting uninterrupted periods of time during the workday. Another might be giving up on the open floor plan and moving the whole office to a new building.Across our society today, norms of noisiness run deep. In most office cultures, workers are required to stay connected all the time and they have to remain competitive. In many org anizations, it’s common to interrupt workers who are absorbed in their work. All these lead to more noises. But there are simple strategies we can employ in order to find our own personal shelters and to slightly change broader cultures. By reclaiming silence in the workplace, we can create the conditions for reducing burnout and improving creative problem solving. Even in an increasingly noisy world, we can be quiet together.12. What does the underlined word “nuisance” in paragraph 2 man?A.Difficulty. B.Shock. C.Disappointment. D.Annoyance. 13. What is probably a good way to help create cultures of quiet time?A.Not sending email on workdays. B.Being available for work on Sundays.C.Not interrupting workers for some time. D.Designing larger offices for workers. 14. Why is it difficult to build a culture of quiet time?A.Demands of constant connectivity exist. B.Various office cultures are developing.C.Workers’ attention is always well valued.D.Personal space is often highly desired. 15. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?A.Noise kills B.Let’s be quietC.A noisy culture D.Why to be quiet?Tips on Young Adult LifeAs you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes.

Dangerous eruptions are less frequent, so the spot has become a favorite location for travelers.Last week, the Guatemalan volcano was having a typical day, and dozens of tourists were standing nearby watching for activity when they had the chance to see a volcanic eruption create a lightning storm. And it turned into a beautiful display of lights and smoke. A woman caught the display on video and posted it online. It has since caught much attention.The video shows lava and ash (熔岩和火山灰) shooting from the volcano as lightning connects with it at the same time, and splendid lights brighten the sky. The amazing scene continues for some time and creates seemingly endless flashes.According to Mike Poland with the Yellowstone V olcano Observatory, the phenomenon is more common than most know because people aren’t typically gathered around when volcanoes erupt.“When you put all of this ash into the atmosphere, it creates the right sort of conditions for electrical charges to bounce around and produce a lot of lightning,” he said to Cowboy State Daily. “The volcano erupts and puts a lot of ash into the atmosphere that’s charged and interacting with one another,” he continued. “It’s really common in volcanic plumes (柱). The most intense lightning storms on Earth occur in volcanic clouds.”V olcanic lightning, which is what people witnessed in the video, doesn’t need ice particles in clouds as thunderstorm lightning does. The volcano produces enough charge to sustain the “storm”. But if ice crystals are present in the atmosphere, it can intensify the electricity and create an even more amazing show.Though most travelers don’t understand how this scene comes into being, they still feel amazed by it. That is the power of nature and that’s why we human beings admire it.4.Why do travelers like going to the Guatemalan volcano?A.It is not so crowded.B.It is relatively safe to visit.C.They want to take risks there.D.They can watch eruptions anytime. 5.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The sky.B.The volcano.C.The eruption.D.The lightning storm. 6.What is Mike Poland doing in paragraph 5?A.Offering suggestions.B.Giving an assumption.C.Making an explanation.D.Analyzing possible solutions.7.What is the text?A.A news report.B.A diary entry.C.A travel guide.D.A research paper.While we parents are often on the lookout for new tips and tricks on what we can do for our children to help support their development, more research is pointing to how important it is to be receiving care for ourselves. Considering how many parents across the world are struggling, it’s critical that we refocus our attention on ways to help moms and dads. According to the recent Stress in America 2023 nationwide survey by the American Psychological Association, parents arefacing an intense amount of pressure. In fact, improving our own well-being by practicing gratitude is key to helping our children grow, according to a recent study.Across one week, the researchers surveyed 270 parents on the gratitude they felt each day. They also surveyed parents on their well-being— how much they felt happiness, positive emotions like joy and love and tenderness, and negative emotions like worry and anger.The researchers also looked at parents’ daily family functioning every day for a week. They surveyed how much closeness parents felt toward their children each day. They also asked parents to write about a time— easy or hard— when they provided care to their child. The researchers used these daily diaries to measure how much parents’ interactions with their children were marked by conflict, support— warmth and kindness— and challenges while providing care.In analyzing these data, researchers found that parents tended to experience greater daily well- being on days when they felt more gratitude than usual. What’s more, parents tended to feel greater closeness and less conflict with their children on days when they felt more gratitude than usual.As parents, we’re already busy, so adding more to a long list of parenting dos and don’ts in our daily lives can add a lot more stress. A simple gratitude practice like writing a gratitude letter or in a gratitude journal, or just taking a few moments for a gratitude reflection at the end of the workday, can be doable and effective in strengthening not only family relationships but also our own well- being.8.Why is the 2023 nationwide survey mentioned in paragraph 1?A.To stress the importance of parenting.B.To prove the effect of being grateful.C.To offer solutions to parents’ problems.D.To show the need for self- care for parents. 9.What were the surveyed parents asked to do in the research?A.Report their feelings each day.B.Talk with their kids about diaries.C.Show their gratitude to their kids.D.Take good care of their kids at home. 10.What can we know about the grateful parents?A.They performed quite well at work.B.They became much better listeners.C.They got on better with their kids.D.They dealt with challenges bravely. 11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?A.To tell the cause of parents’ pressure.B.To advise parents to practice gratitude.C.To explore methods of kids’ development.D.To advocate healthy familyrelationships.The “open science” concept is gaining more followers, especially through the efforts of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) . Over the past several years, the Organization has been consulting on how science can become more collaborative (协作的) , transparent, accessible, equitable and inclusive. At the end of last year, UNESCO published a report on the current status of this effort.UNESCO’s report described several examples of positive initiatives, such as in research collaboration, open- access scientific publishing and public engagement in science. For example, in 2020, the Brazilian government launched the National Platform of Research Infrastructure, a digital platform in which scientific institutions can register their available facilities and make them available to researchers outside their organization. The European Commission, based in Brussels, was an early supporter of open science. Between 2002 and 2020, it increased its funding for societal engagement projects from €88 million to €462 million.Other indicators are less rosy, however. Around three-quarters of publications in open-access databases are in just six languages— with nearly half being in English alone. And in spite of some of the progress mentioned, overall the report finds that scientific institutions, such as universities, national science academies and journals, are struggling to include communities, in all their diversity, in the process of creating scientific knowledge itself.The United Nations (UN) ’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)are the best attempt to map a pathway towards a better future, and a more open approach to science could have a larger part to play in achieving them.That attempt needs as much help as it can get: Monitoring SDGs indicators is one obvious way that citizen scientists can help. Some of the largest gaps in the collection of relevant SDGs data are in low- and middle- income countries, which is where citizen research can really make a difference.The UNESCO report shines a much- needed light on some promising developments in open science. The challenge will be how to accumulate (累积)individual examples of good practice into something similar to a critical mass, so that, in cases such as monitoring the SDGs, they canbe made use of to get the world to where it needs to be.12.How did the Brazilian government contribute to open science?A.It made Internet more accessible worldwide.B.It set up a digital resource- sharing platform.C.It funded Europe’s societal engagement projects.D.It translated publications into multiple languages.13.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Examples of some new initiatives.B.Indicators of a promising science field.C.Problems of current open science.D.Difficulties of creating scientific knowledge. 14.What is a suggested way to help achieve SDGs?A.Helping the poor increase their incomes.B.Creating city maps around the world.C.Providing more support for online technology.D.Encouraging citizens to engage in science.15.What can we learn from the text?A.There is a long way to go for global open science.B.Professional scientists should give way to citizens.C.Poor countries are unlikely to benefit from open science.D.More successful models are needed to convince UNESCO.Do you ever get a sense that you could benefit from being an interesting person? Maybe you’d like to feel more connected to the people around you. While you won’t be the life of every party, you do have the potential to develop more passionate relationships with other people and activities. 16 Try the steps below to start on your own path to becoming an interesting person.17 Figure out what being interesting means to you. What’s interesting won’t be the same for everybody. Knowing what you are interested in is essential to becoming capable of interacting with others in a way that might be seen as interesting.Try out new activities to stretch your comfort zone. 18 When you stretch your comfort zone, you get yourself out of a routine. You inject more excitement into your life. You meet new people. Be open to trying new activities so that you learn to be interesting.Interact with people who you find interesting. Find people who have skills and interests that you admire. 19 Remember that who you spend time with greatly affects how your personality and interests develop. Spheres (范围)of social influence, from your local community to your country, can affect you in some ways. Watching others who are interesting can be a great way to get you started in the right direction.Learn to shake off disrespect from other people. Everyone has their own interests and manners of acting in the world. It will be impossible to make yourself seem interesting to everyone. Be happy with who you truly are. Accept that not everyone will find you interesting, or even necessarily like you. 20A.Write down a list of your interests.B.Find common interests with others.C.Prioritize the time you spend with them.D.Don’t worry even if you’re not interesting.E.Experiment with new activities that might interest you.F.Interesting people have a tendency to appeal to each other.G.This can, in turn, make you interesting to those who admire your unique self.二、完形填空People often ask Ahmad Koya about his major as a Stanford student, and he will tell them environmental engineering is about saving the world. “When they ask me, ‘Why are you doing what you’re doing?’ I can say, ‘Because I went to that 21 over there, saw how they’re 22 , and want to help them solve their problems,’” he said. “Having concrete examples and experiences of what people are 23 worldwide just adds more reasons for me to be on this path.”Koya’s 24 to a globally minded education began at age 10, when he attended school in Nigeria for two years. When he returned to his hometown, Chicago, Koya continued sharing knowledge 25 , especially with his two younger brothers.Two 26 led him to Stanford Engineering: Being a vegetarian (素食者) since childhood, he cared about environmental impacts, and he was also 27 with the importanceof water for all life on Earth. His biggest 28 was a water treatment project. During the spring of 2023 at Stanford, Koya and his team 29 , produced and tested water filters (滤水器). In the summer of 2023, the team traveled to the African country Malawi to build their system with local materials.Koya has maximized his opportunities to 30 new places. He studied abroad in Santiago, Chile, and Oxford, England, with 31 to study in Jordan this summer. He’s also taken Arts Immersion trips in the Bay Area and New York City. As a(n) 32 performing artist, Koya has acted in musicals, films, and plays at Stanford. After completing his 33 in environmental engineering, Koya hopes to continue “waterbending” to solve problems and 34 others:“I want to find projects where I can lend my 35 and uplift (激励) communities around the world.”21.A.organization B.institute C.community D.university 22.A.functioning B.struggling C.acting D.progressing 23.A.talking about B.reflecting on C.carrying out D.going through 24.A.journey B.answer C.attitude D.admission 25.A.equally B.eagerly C.doubtfully D.secretly 26.A.inspirations B.ideas C.discoveries D.interests 27.A.concerned B.satisfied C.patient D.careful 28.A.suffering B.training C.undertaking D.finding 29.A.designed B.picked C.compared D.collected 30.A.assess B.admire C.identify D.explore 31.A.abilities B.plans C.risks D.limits 32.A.enthusiastic B.strange C.honest D.nervous 33.A.direction B.level C.degree D.responsibility 34.A.join B.comfort C.follow D.assist 35.A.money B.knowledge C.attention D.position三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

This new adaptation of a well-known story in China differs from previous ones as it focuses not on mighty Taoist gods but on Ji Fa, a nobleman’s son who struggles to find out who he really is and later grows into a king.The story was inspired by the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644) novel Investiture of the Gods, which describes the history of the Shang (1600BC—1046BC) and Zhou 1046BC—771BC) dynasties mixed with folklore, legends and mythical creatures.In the first episode, Ji Fa faces the reality that Yin Shou, a battlefield warrior he admired, has become a greedy and cruel king after the killing of the former king and his brother. Ji Fa’s search for his own path after witnessing the collapse (倒塌) of his idol and struggles during the political disorder in the late Shang have caused deep thought among many young moviegoers who are on their own crucial points in life, perhaps needing to choose a college major, a career, or in which city to settle down. . Some followed their “tiger parents”, while others were more rebellious (叛逆的).Still, their confusion of being “lost among choices” and the insecurity caused by an uncertain future have been somewhat relieved by the words of Ji Fa’s father—who your father is does not matter; what matters is who you are.Such uncertainty seems to be a shared sentiment for young people in their 20s, but focusing on what is at hand can ease that anxiety to a certain extent. One can always benefit from resolute persistence, as demonstrated by the casting, filming and long wait before the first episode could finally reach cinemas.24.Why is the new adaptation different from the previous ones?A.It features Taoist gods.B.It became a hit right after it was shown.C.It is popular mostly because of social media.D.It focuses on a young man’s struggle for his own identity.25.What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 3?A.The background in which the movie is set.B.The influence Ji Fa’s growth has on young people.C.The time during which the movie was made.D.The examples parents should set to their children.26.What does the underlined word “sentiment” in paragraph 5 mean?A.Feeling.B.Action.C.Hobby.D.Development.27.What is the text?A.A news report.B.Science fiction.C.A movie review.D.A scary story.If, as the saying goes, you are what you eat, then it stands to reason you also excrete (排泄) what you are. If we follow this rule, it means that our bodily waste reflects our diet and overall health. For instance, analyzing human excreta can help find abnormal levels of certain chemicals, which might show signs of some diseases.A new study shows that analysis of a city’s wastewater can also provide insights into the health and behavior of its residents. Such surveillance (监测) can be applied to sample (取样) all toilet users without knowing their names. It is much cheaper than alternative sampling techniques, and flexible enough to monitor (监测) everything from drug use to diet and even mental health.Wastewater surveillance has become an important tool in over 70 countries for monitoring and managing public health. This new approach involves analyzing wastewater samples to look for and track the presence of various viruses, bacteria and parasites. By monitoring the genetic material of these pathogens (致病菌) in wastewater, scientists and public health officials can gain valuable insights into the spread of diseases within communities. This is especially true in poor countries, where alternative means of testing are expensive.It could also be applied to many other areas. For example, the police can adopt the tool to spot criminal behavior. Anything from consuming illegal drugs to handling bomb ingredients could potentially he detected (查明) in wastewater.But for wastewater surveillance to fulfil its potential, today’s systems must be transformed into something more stable and organized. In addition, testing bodies should be open about the extent of their capabilities, and exactly how data will be used. They should also consult with the people being monitored. It would be a shame ifprivacy worries caused support for it to disappear.28.Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 1?A.To show some signs of physical illness.B.To introduce a method of detecting diseases.C.To explain the importance of diet to health.D.To present the value of studying bodily waste.29.What is an advantage of wastewater surveillance?A.It serves more purposes.B.It requires less effort to do.C.It protects residents’ privacy.D.It needs little professional knowledge.30.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The development of wastewater surveillance.B.The means of wastewater testing for poor areas.C.The application of wastewater in disease detection.D.The potential of wastewater in discovering dangerous goods.31.What is the author’s attitude towards wastewater surveillance?A.Doubtful.B.Careful.C.Unclear.D.Unconcerned.It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion(侵蚀) by sand and wind.The team is dedicated to protecting the 45,000 square meters of murals(壁画) and more than 2,400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which spans about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. “Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy.Commonly seen“diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and flaking (剥落), as well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and the deposition of salts. To restore a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding causes and deliver a solution.They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward.The restoration should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo of the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration.“Cultural relics are witnesses of history,” explains Su.“When you pursue the so-called intact(完好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.”Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes,” Su says. But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible.32.What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?A.To show the popularity of Dunhuang murals.B.To explain the history of the ancient Silk Road.C.To stress the significance of the restoration work.D.To present the ways of protecting cultural heritage.33.Which of the following best describes the restoration work?A.Creative.B.Well-paid.C.Interesting.D.Demanding.34.What should restoring murals focus on according to paragraph 4?A.Spotting the faded murals in time.B.Fixing the missing parts of murals.C.Making preservation of the murals as they are.D.Repainting to perfect the appearance of murals.35.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings.B.The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves.C.The Successful Experiment on Cave Conservation.D.The Role of the Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese Culture.A competition about Versailles literature (凡尔赛文学) was carried out on Sina Weibo recently. So what is Versailles literature?36 It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese manga series about aristocratic (贵族化的) life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Known as humblebragging (谦虚的吹牛), it is a boast disguised as a complaint. “ 37 ” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night.” are some examples of Versailles literature.The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. 38 Most researchers concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity.“ 39 People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gino.So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back? “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,”a netizen advised. “ 40 ”A.And respond with sincere pity for their complaints.B.Having too many houses, how can I decide which one to decorate?C.I’m fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.D.The key factor that makes the two groups of people different is sincerity.E.Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace or with literature.F.However, studies show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work.G.The intention is to show off things of materialistic values, yet pretending that’s not the point.三、完形填空Today, the Braille writing system is the most well-known language system used by blind people all over theyears of hard work, Braille 49 the now-familiar six-dot alphabet-based (基于字母表的) code.
