AChina is one of the world’s ancient civilizations and has the earliest outstanding bronze casting (青铜冶铸)technology. Here we’ve created a list of 4 museums whereA．Sanxingdui Museum. B．Hunan Museum.C．Shanghai Museum. D．National Museum of China. 22．What do these museums in this passage have in common?A．They are all free of charge. B．They all set a deadline for entry.

D．History and Culture.BArthur Lih of Mass apequa sold his first LifeVac, a device to help save people’s life, to a fire department about 18 months ago, when the Jericho Fire Department purchased 21 of the devices. Now about 10 Long Island fire departments have purchased Lih’s invention, which is d esigned to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver don’t work. He has sold about 5,000 LifeVac devices in the United States and abroad since the device went on the market in August 2014.The Fr eeport Fire Department is one of Lih’s clients. It bought about 25 LifeVac devices to put on trucks, as well as in chiefs’ vehicles, said Ray Maguire, the department’s executive director. “It’s an extra tool in the toolbox,” Maguire said. “I’d be surprised if anyone who sees it doesn’t purchase it. It’s that tool you may only needonce, but it’s the tool you really want in case you need it. It’s affordable. I have it in my car. I have one at home, too.”Dr. Lee Smith at Northwell Health said that if a choki ng victim can’t breathe, he or she becomes a candidate for the Heimlich. If the Heimlich doesn’t work, the victim would probably lose consciousness because of a lack of oxygen.A challenge for any new medical device is convincing potential users that it works and is safe. In tests, the LifeVac successfully removed an obstruction (阻塞物) from the throat of a dead human body on the first try 49 out of 50 times, according to an August research article in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine.Lih invented the product in his garage, inspired after he went with a friend to a hospital while the friend’s mother was going through tests. The friend said the last time he was there, a 7-year-old child had choked to death on a grape.24．What’s the function of the Lif eVac device?A．To put out the fire. B．To remove foreign objects.C．To design procedures. D．To treat victims’ throats.25．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the invention?A．Its target users. B．Its practical necessity.C．Its major advantages. D．Its reasonable price26．What inspired Lih to invent the product?A. A kid’s deathB. His client’s suggestion.C. A garage accident.D. Material rewards.27．What is the text mainly about?A．A productive inventor. B．A convincing cure.C．An anti-choking device. D．An important toolbox.CGoing against the tide of flocking to well-known tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known tourist attractions. Reverse tourism (逆向旅游)has appeared as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.According to data from an online travel agency, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. Bookings for four-star or five-star hotels in less-traveled places all increased at least 10 times. Some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digit growth during the holiday. Baimaiquan Park in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, received 52,100 visits in the seven days, up 15.78 percent year-over-year.Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” as developed ones and are able to offer more actual experiences a nd natural encounters. Essentially speaking, total relaxation is becoming a real expectation for many people when they travel. Changes in demand may be the fundamental reason for the popularity of reverse tourism. COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As precautionary measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists.“The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing,” said Zh engzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. More importantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their past honor.Jiang Han, a senior researcher, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market. To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underrated (被低估了的), lesser-known destinations. It is necessary to dig deeper into the local customs and highlight the local characteristics to improve the quality of local tourism.28．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The popularity of travel agency in China.B．The contributions of tourism to the economy.C．The high income of hotels during holidays.D．The increasing trend of reverse tourism in China.29．What may be the root cause of the rise of reverse tourism?A．The effect of COVID-19.B．Holidaymakers’ changing needs for travel.C．No improvements in famous spots.D．The cheaper prices of the less-traveled places.30．What does Zhengzhou Daily think of reverse tourism?A．It will drop with the recovery of economy.B．It benefits both tourists and the tourism market.C．It is helpful to spread local culture to tourists.D．It stops the development of the famous resorts.31．What is Jiang Han’s advice on developing the tourism market?A．Finding the potential and features of less-traveled attractions.B．Improving the management of the local tourism.C．Upgrading the facilities in tourist areas.D．Highlighting the local tourism through media.D“I have travelled the world for 25 years in search of trouble,” admits Dr David Nott in his recent autobiography, War Doctor: Surgery on the Front Line. “It is a kind of addiction, a pull I find hard to resist.” This pull has seen him use his surgical skills to help those in need by taking unpaid, month-long breaks from his “day job” as an NHS surgeon in the UK every year to work in conflict zones and disaster areas.He first worked in Sarajevo in 1993 as a volunteer with the French charityMédecins Sans Froatières. The hospital be worked in had so many holes in its walls caused by bombing and sniper (狙击手) fire that it was called the “Swiss Cheese Hospital”. It was his first insight into the terrifying reality of treating patients in a war zone. The hospital suffered power cuts during operations and he and his team were regularly shot at.But Nott found this exhilarating(令人激动的). “Going to Sarajevo, almost getting killed, I had never felt so wonderful. I really felt as though somebody bad injected me with something. I felt fantastic. I think to skirt death and then to realize how close youare to death and that you survived it is exciting. And that’s the experience I’ve had many times over.”This attitude may seem reckless (鲁莽的), but it means that Nott has saved lives in desperate situations. In Gaza in 2014, he decided not to abandon a young girl in the middle of surgery despite being told that the hospital was about to be bombed. He carried on, no bombs fell and the girl survived. He has kept a photograph of them taken together three days later. In Yemen, he operated on the wife of a bomb-maker who had accidentally blown up his own house. Nott found a detonator (雷管) buried in her leg and bad to carefully dispose of it before continuing the operation. 32．What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Travelling the world.B. Working as a surgeon in a war zone.C. Performing surgeries on his patients.D. Taking month-long breaks from his day job.33．When was the book War Doctor: Surgery on the Front Line, probably published? A．In 1993. B．In 2014. C．In 2018. D．In 2021. 34．What makes the experience thrilling according to Nott?A. The feeling of narrowly escaping death.B. The thought of saving lives.C. The improvement of his surgery skills.D. The difficulty of working in desperate situations.35．Which of the following words can best describe Dr. David Nott?A．Modest and courageous. B．Generous and strict.C．Careless and aggressive. D．Adventurous and selfless.第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
