It can bear more weight than steel(钢), stands more impact than carbon fiber and is quite good at absorbing vibration(震动). Most importantly, it's ecologically friendly and you can get it almost everywhere.Building with bamboo is not without its challenges. It has to be joined properly to prevent breaking. Moreover, bamboo is by nature different in size, shape and thickness. But Craig Calfee, a master bike tech pioneer, notes that years of experience can determine what works and what doesn't.Worldwide, thousands of bamboo bikes sell every year. The beauty of bamboo and curiosity about its performance are definitely buying considerations. But to own a ecologically- friendly(环保的) bike is also a big draw. What's more, owners report the bike put them in a better mood. T his could be related to not only less vibration, but also the bike’s ability to connect the rider to nature.Bamboo bikes can be a particularly practical means of transportation in countries that lack fuel and roads. Electricity is not required. The fixture for holding the bamboo in place can be very simple or more industrial. Over the past 15 years, Calfee has made some 20 trips to Africa where he’s taught bicycle construction, helping many businesses get up. A few have taken off, exporting to Europe and North America. Others remain small shops making bikes for local use.Calfee's hope for the future of bamboo bikes is that they continue to inspire people to consider more natural and ecologically-friendly solutions when choosing materials for production. Also, it would be great to see school programs using the bamboo bike as an example and experimental learning model for creative thinking.8、What makes bamboo a good material for making bikes?A.

Bamboo bikes made in Africa are sold worldwide.11、What’s Calfee’s attitude towards the future of bamboo bikes?A. Grateful.B. Worried.C. Hopeful.D. Confused.The fear that machines will steal jobs is centuries old. Previous technology has tended to replace unskilled tasks, but the present AI technology can perform some complex tasks, such as designing posters and writing poems.The horror is that an advanced AI causes harm to a large degree such as making poisons or persuading humans to start attacks. Researchers worry that fixture AIs may go against their human creators. Such worries should not be ignored. But all involve a huge amount of guesswork, and a jump from today’s technology. Rules are needed, but for simpler reasons than saving humanity.So far governments are taking different approaches. At one end of the range is Britain, which applies existing rules to AI systems to encourage investment(投资) and turn Britain into an “AI superpower”. America has taken a similar approach, though it is now seeking public views on what a rule-book might look like. The EU is taking a tougher line, whose law classifies(分类) different uses of AI by the degree of risk.But it is believed that an even sricter approach is needed. Governments should treat AI like medicines, with strict testing and pre-approval before going public. China is doing some of this, requiring companies to go through a safety review before going public.What to do? Tighter rules over time may be needed. Intergovernmental agreements, similar to those that govern nuclear weapons(核武器), may also seem appropriate. To keep the risk below a safe level, governments could form a body that could study AI safety andethics(伦理)一areas where companies are unwilling to invest as much as society might wish.The powerful technology presents new risks, but also offers extraordinary opportunities .Balancing the two means walking carefully. A careful approach today can provide the foundations on which farther rules can be added in future. But the time to start building those foundations is now.12、Why do we fear artificial intelligence currently?A. It gels surprisingly powerful.B. It goes against human beings.C. It causes most people jobless.D. It makes decisions on its own.13、What can we learn about the EU’s approach?A. It has specific considerations.B. It ignores economic advance.C. It practices the strictest laws.D. It relies on public wisdom.14、Why is nuclear weapons mentioned in Para.5?A. To indicate the possible risk of AI.B. To suggest a solution to control AI.C. To stress the importance of AI safety.D. To prove the need of tighter rules for AI.15、What might be the best title for the passage?A. Who to Stop AIB. What to Expect of AIC. When to Act Against AID. How to Worry Wisely about AI二、七选五16、People with mild cognitive impairment(认知缺陷)(MCI) are 30 per cent more likely to recover if they feel optimistic about ageing, according to a study carried out by the Yale School of Public Health.①______ But according to Professor Becca Levy, lead author of the study, that's not the case at all, “Most people assume there is no recovery from MCI, but in fact half of those who have it do recover.”Mild cognitive impairment is a condition which causes memory loss and difficulty in thinking clearly. ②______ People with MCI may also experience a loss of smell or sense of space.The study was conducted over a twelve-year period between 2008-2020 involving 1,716 people aged 65 and above. ③______ Those who came to the study without MCI were also far less likely to develop it if they felt more optimistic about age, and this has nothing to do with their physical health or age. Those who came to the study with MCI were 30 per centmore likely to make a full recovery if they were optimistic about ageing. ④______A previous study, also led by Levy, showed that physical function, as well as stress levels and self-confidence could be improved with optimistic thinking. That being the case, it also seems possible that changing age beliefs could help MCI recovery or avoid it. “⑤______ Therefore, age-belief interventions(干预) at the individual and societal levels could increase the number of people who experience cognitive recovery,” Levy said.A.It is a long and hard process.B.The results seem very promising.C.MCI is a disease often found in people over 60.D.They were also likely to recover two years faster.E.It has been shown that age beliefs can be changed.F.MCI is usually considered to be a one-way process.G.It may result in people forgetting events or often losing things.三、完形填空（15空）My father used to spend much time taking me fishing.

In addition to getting an irremovable suntan（晒黑），she was left with memories of a beautiful experience with clear water and abundant colorful corals（珊瑚）.However，much of the breathtaking scenery of this reef has disappeared due to climate change and human activities. All of these factors led to the decline of the coral reef inthe near shore waters．“We started to cultivate（培育）corals near the Xisha Islands in 2010，and restored more than 200,000 square meters of coral reefs,” Huang said.In 2004,when Huang was attending the 10th International Coral Reef Symposium, she found herself the only representative from the Chinese mainland. She said she felt sad but she made up her mind to strengthen communication with other countries to improve China's level and status in coral research. She visited top coral research institutes in the US and Australia, establishing long-term cooperation with some of the world's top coral researchers. So far, Huang has worked on coral research and protection for 22 years. Now, China is in a leading position in terms of technology and coral planting scale.Huang believes that people’s consciousness of coral p rotection matters most to the sustainable（可持续的）development of the coral reefs. “I want to call on more people to love nature and look at the ocean in awe（敬畏），”Huang said.Partly due to her efforts，Hainan Province released a law in 2017 banning reef exploitation（开发），trading and damaging.Huang works as a consultant for customs and frontier police on coral protection and promotes coral protection in her local schools. Huang also provides online free training for divers to teach them proper behavior in the sea to protect coral reefs.“A group of 'folk scientists' have also been trained with the hope that more people can gain awareness of the significance of coral reef protection and know how to protect them,” said Huang.“I am 50, and when I become 60,I hope that not only a coral island will be built but a sustainable development pattern will also be created,” said Huang. “The ideal state is that the coral island should be able to support fishermen and preserve the ecosystem,” she added.24.What impressed Huang most when going diving near Xisha in 2002?A. A permanent sunburn on her skin.C.A sweet memory of her childhood. B.A large quantity of colorful corals.D. The sudden disappearance of corals.25.What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on?A.

People's ignorance of coral protection.26.What is the key to protecting corals according to Huang Hui?A. Introduction of advanced technology. C. Public awareness of coral protection.B. Tough laws banning reef' exploitation, D. Communication with foreign countries.27.What is the best title for this passage?A. Corals in South China Sea are in danger.C. China is taking the lead in planting corals.B. Scientist plants corals to save ecosystem.D. Measures are to be taken to protect corals. CWetlands are areas where water covers the soil all the year or for different periods of time during the year. Wetlands vary widely because of differences in soils, climate, water and others. Wetlands can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Two types of wetlands are recognized on Earth: coastal wetlands and inland wetlands.Coastal wetlands, as their name suggests, are found along the Atlantic, Pacific and coasts. They are closely linked to the estuaries（河口）where sea water mixes with fresh water to form a special environment. The salt water and the fresh water mix to create a rather difficult environment for most plants. Therefore, many coastal areas aren't suitable for plenty of plants. Some plants, however, have successfully adapted to this environment. Certain grasses and grass like plants that adapt to the conditions form coastal wetlands.Inland wetlands are most common on floodplains along rivers and streams that are surrounded by dry land.Certain types of inland wetlands are common to particular areas of the country. Many of these wetlands are seasonal. The amount of water and the time of its presence partly affect the functions of a wetland and its role in the environment. Wetlands that appear dry at times for significant parts of the year often provide important living places for wildlife in these areas.The value of a wetland to human society depends on a set of relationships between the wetland and the other ecosystems. Wetlands play an important role in the ecosystem. Many species of birds and animals rely on wetlands for food, water and shelter. The plants and wildlife in wetlands are part of global cycles for water. Besides，scientists are beginning to realize that atmospheric maintenance（大气维护）may be another wetlands＇function. Wetlands store carbon within their plant communities and soil instead of giving it out to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Thus, wetlands help to improve global climate conditions.28.How many kinds of wetlands are mentioned in the text?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.29.Where do coastal wetlands generally appear?A. Off the coasts.B.On Antarctica.C. Near the estuariesD. Along the rivers.30. What does the underlined word “its" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Awetland's.B. Water's.C. Wildlife's.D.A stream's.31.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The importance of the ecosystem.C. The global climate conditions.B. The functions of the atmosphere.D. The value of wetlands.DPersephone is a tour guide in Greece, but not the type people are used to. As the world's first robot tour guide, Persephone has been welcoming visitors since mid-July to the Alistrati Cave（山洞）in northern Greece.The robot covers the first 500 fact of the part of the cave. The robot can give its part of the tour in 33 languages and interact（互动）at a basic level with visitors in three languages．It can also answer 33 questions＇but only in Greek.Nikos Cartelist scientific director for the Alistrati site, had the idea of creating the robot when he saw one on TV guiding visitors at an art gallery. The robot was built by the National Technology and Research Foundation and cost $ 139,000.“We already have a 70% increase in visitors compared to last year since we started using the robot,” said Kartalis. “People are interested, especially the children, and people who had visited in the past are coming back to see the robot guide.”Persephone, with a white body, black head and two eyes, moves on wheels, guiding visitors to the first three of eight stops along the walkway. She can do two more stops, but her low speed slows down the tour. Persephone's creators are considering ways to speed her up. Evdokia Karafera is one of the tour guides who partners with the robot. “It is hel pful，because it speaks many languages. There’s just a little delay （耽搁）in the touring，”she said. “Most find it amazing, especially the children, and find it interesting that it speaks many languages.”Karafera said, however, that human tour guides couldn't be completely replaced. “Robots, at some point in the future, will take over many jobs. But I believe they cannot replace humans everywhere,” she said. “The robot is funny, but can't replace the human contact with the guide and the conversation we can have on the way back.”32.What can be learned about Persephone?A.It once guided visitors at the art gallery.C.It can speak thirty-three languages. B.It was built by Nikos Kartalis.D.It is about three feet in height33.Why do people who had visited the Alistrati Cave come back?A.To visit an art gallery.C.To learn the Greek language. B.To see Persephone.D.To help Evdokia Karafera.34.What does Evdokia Karafera think of Persephone?A.Interesting but imperfect.C.Expensive but ineffective. B.Smart but useless.D.Beautiful but slow.35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Greek:a Difficult LanguageC.Robots: a Threat to Human FutureB.Alistrati: a Cave Worth VisitingD.Persephone: an Unusual Tour Guide第二节阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

She first entered college in 1951, studying early education, and later, home economics. She left school after three and a half years due to marriage.The mom of nine, who is now also a grandmother to 17 and great-grandmother to 26, was busy through the years but never forgot about college. “I must have told the children that I wish I had finished back in the 1950s,” DeFauw recalled. “They suggested that I go back and I thought ‘Well, O K.’” Since the pandemic began in 2019，instead of walking to campus to attend classes, she did so behind a computer screen from her retirement home. “I needed a computer and they got one for me and so I’ve been able to use it and enjoy it ’’DeFauw reentered Northern Illinois University (NIU) in August 2019 and began to take online courses toward a bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in general studies. Although there were times when she struggled with the courses and even thought about giving up, DeFauw kept doing school work almost every day. “We get to exchange ideas and things through the com puter and I’ve had wonderful instructors that guided me,”DeFauw said. “As far as the encouragement of everyone—my friends, my family and my teachers—I just can’t give up.”Three years later, she put on the cap and gown and received a Bachelor of General Studies degree from the university.

Litter gets washed away by the rains and waterways and ends up in mountains of rubbish on the beaches. Light-house Beach is one of the beaches. It stretches for about 100 kilometers along the Atlantic, all the way to neighboring Benin. Lined with palm trees, the beach could be beautiful if it weren’t for all the pollution.“It is time that we should raise awareness of keeping the environment clean and clean up all the plastic,” says Chioma Chukwura, who helped pick up rubbish on Lighthouse Beach. At the end of a tiring day, 230 large bin bags were put together on the hot sand, filled with dirty plastic.“Although the job is challenging, a company will come and pick them up tomorrow. All the plastic here will get reused. Sold for $ 500 a tonne, the plastic could bring $ 250 million to Lagos each year, and a cleaner environment could promote the development of the city,”says Owoade Yussuf, organiser of the cleanup.As the volunteers leave at the end of the day, always just 100 meters is clean. “There is still a lot to do. Maybe we need two months, continuously, to get this cleaned up, ” says an other volunteer. “We have to find a way to prevent the plastic from coming back. After we’ve finished, I’m sure we may still see litter here when we come back. ”On Lighthouse Beach, the problem isn’t just plastic. Destroyed ships also pollute thebeach. With that kind of pollution, even an army of volunteers may struggle.

They are struggling to protect coral reefs as rising ocean tem peratures damage ecosystems. The Great Barrier Reef has suffered four events of becoming white in the last seven years including the first one during a La Nina phenomenon, which typically brings cooler temperatures.Frozen coral can be stored and later reintroduced to the wild, but the current process requires some modern equipment including lasers(激光). The scientists say a new lightweight “cryomesh(冷冻网)” can be p roduced cheaply and better protect coral. In a December lab trial, the world’s first with Great Barrier Reef coral, they used the “cryomesh” to freeze coral larvae at the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences(AIMS). “If we can protect the coral, we’ll ha ve tools for the future to really help restore the reefs, and this technology for coral reefs in the future is a real game-changer,” said Mary Hagedorn, Senior Research Scientist at AIMS.The “cryomesh” was previously tested on smaller and larger kinds of Hawaiian corals. Some trials on the larger kinds failed. But then other trials are continuing with larger varietiesof Great Barrier Reef coral. The trials involved scientists from AIMS, the Smithsonian National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, the Great Barrier Reef foundation and the Taronga Conservation Society Australia as part of the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program.The technology, which will help store coral larvae at -196 ℃, was invented by a team from the University of Minnesota’s College of Science and Engineering. It was first tested on corals by PhD student Nikolas Zuchowicz. “This new technology that we’ve got will allow us to do that, and it can actually help to support the growing and restoration of wildlife in water,” said Jonathan Daly of the Taronga Conservation Society Australia.12．What is the new method of restoring the coral reefs?A.Keeping coral larvae warmer.B.Keeping coral larvae by freezing them.C.Decreasing the temperatures of the reefs.D.Controlling the ecosystems around the reefs.13．What can we learn about the technology in paragraph 2?A.It will be applied in a game.B.It requires an expensive “cryomesh”.C.It will be used to make a new “cryomesh”，D.It requires the support of advanced devices.14．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the trials?A.The time and place.B.The range and way.C.The effect and participants.D.The equipment and conditions.15．What is Jonathan Daly’s attitude to the technology?A. Positive.B. Curious.C. Uncertain.D. Unconcerned.二、七选五16．How to Appear Outgoing in a Conversation?Some people seem naturally outgoing when chatting with others, while others find it hard to make it.

Bringing together some of the biggest names in music and millions of fans all over the world, Rock in Rio is one of the most famous music festivals in the world.OktoberfestEach October, the city of Blumenau hosts one of the biggest and best Oktoberfests outside of Germany. Held in Pomerode Park since 1984, this festival is one of the most popular events in Brazil, attracting millions from around the world to experience some German culture in South America. For 17 days each October, you can enjoy traditional German food and beer, live music and performances.Parintins Folklore FestivalHeld each June in Parintins since 1913, this unique festival celebrates local folklore through music and dance.The centerpiece of the festival is a three-day competition between two teams-the red team and the blue team-who perform local folklore stories, known as the Boi Bumba. During the competition, you can expect to see thousands of people from all over Brazil dressed in beautiful costumes and cheering on their favorite team.LollapaloozaFor the most diverse music festival experience in Brazil, you need to check out Lollapalooza inSão Paulo, where you can enjoy not just Brazilian music. This three-day music event takes place each March.Celebrating its 11th year in 2023, Lollapalooza is one of the largest and most well-known music festivals in Brazil. And you’re guaranteed to see some of the biggestneed. Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发) from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30%of the reservoirs’ surfaces could save as much water as 300,000 people would use in a year.There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaics a good idea. Solar panels work better when they’re not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy.However, covering too much of a reservoir with panels could affect the plants and animals in the water. The scientists say it will be important to study how floating panels will affect water in each reservoir. Focusing first on man-made reservoirs and canals will avoid some of those problems.8．Why is a space usually left on the raft?A．To prevent the raft from being over-burdened.B．Out of consideration for the efficiency of floatovoltaics.C．To prevent solar panels from being wetted by water.D．For the convenience of repairing broken solar panels.9．What does the underlined word “conducive” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Affordable.B．Useful.C．Demanding.D．Troublesome. 10．What’s one of the advantages of floatovoltaics over solar panels on land?A．They are easier to fix.B．They are less expensive.C．They are less likely to break down.D．They are more productive during certain times.11．What does the last paragraph imply about floatovoltaics?A．They are imperfect.B．They affect agriculture.C．They are environment-friendly.D．They only apply to artificial canals.Most people have probably read a book or seen a movie or show about an AI (Artificial Intelligence) or robot that has become so smart that it can take over the world. The AI in stories like this is known as an AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). A true AGI would be intelligent in many different areas and would be able to learn on its own. Currently, there are no AGIs. Most experts believe it will be many years before an AGI could possibly be created.Most current AI tools are good at just one task. But scientists have been working toallows users to “chat” with a powerful Large Language Model (LLM). When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in perfect sentences. It makes up stories and games, writes essays, and much more.ChatGPT appears to be extremely intelligent. But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing—based on its training information—which word is most likely to come next, over and over again. Last month, OpenAI announced a more powerful model—GPT-4. GPT-4 can create and explain jokes, and pass tests difficult for humans. GPT-4 has also been trained on pictures, and can be used in powerful ways. For example, it can create a working website from a description and a rough drawing of the site.The rapid progress and more general skills of recent AI models worry some people. Last week, many computer experts published a letter calling for a six-month pause for any work on AI tools stronger than GPT-4 to make sure AI tools are safe.However, some AI experts say the letter makes today’s AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say it’s more important to worry about real problems in current AI tools rather than imaginary ones in the future. Anyway, the letter has sent a strong warning that many people, including leaders, will be thinking about carefully.12．What’s most experts’ opinion on an AGI?A．It is relatively easy to access.B．It lacks the ability to teach itself.C．It takes time to turn it into reality.D．It is certain to take over the world. 13．Strictly speaking, what ChatGPT does is ________.A．full of creativity B．pure guessworkC．well worth promoting D．a reflection of high intelligence 14．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Not all AI experts agree with the letter.B．The intelligence of today’s AI tools is understated.C．Potential problems of future AI tools need attention.D．The letter appeals for focus on real problems in current AI tools.15．What can be the best title for the text?A．Problems Resulting from AI Tools B．The Fast Development of AI ToolsC．Are AI Tools the Trend of the Future?D．Are AI Tools Becoming Too Powerful?三、完形填空四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、邀请信46．假定你是李华，你所在的城市本周末将在市森林公园举办风筝节。

The Omaha tribe (部落) has lived on these plains for generations, and now, it seems that the winds have brought back one of their own. Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was born. Not as a visitor, but as the region’s only doctor.When Susan was 8 years old, she waited at the bedside of an old woman crying in pain.A doctor was called for. They waited. A messenger was sent. The doctor still didn’t come. Susan provided what comfort she could through the night, but by early next morning, the old woman had died.The experience both troubled and inspired Susan. She decided to become a doctor. She threw herself into her studies and earned her way to Hampton University in Virginia— a historically black college with a program for native American students.Susan would never forget the childhood she enjoyed, full of hunts and the people she loved. But there was further to go. She was admitted to the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania. In her graduation speech, she told the East Coast audience, “Give us a chance.” Three years later, she was a doctor.Instead of staying in big cities, she returned immediately after graduation to her home town to serve the people there, which was a difficult task. She opened an office in a government school and began seeing patients. Susan worked long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow, walking miles to make house calls. Her work was more than as a doctor. She often acted as lawyer, teacher and counselor (顾问) as she helped the Omahas explore the new world.The wind that swept the plains was the wind of change.

Companies like SpaceX are already taking paying customers into space and Virgin Galactic is booking passengers for its first business flight for the summer of 2023. But space travel is available (可获得的) to a small group of people who are very rich. Now, a Japanese company plans on opening space up to ordinary people.The company is planning on sending space viewing balloons that will make space travel available to people who are not wealthy or have no skills needed to fly a rocket (火箭). “It’s safe and money -saving for people,” Keisuke Iwaya, the CEO of the company, told reporters. “The idea is to make space travel for everyone.” he added.While the balloons do not actually go into outer space, the capsule (太空舱) will fly higher than some planes and will give passengers a clear view of the universe (宇宙).The company developed a capsule that can fit two people—a pilot and passenger—and a balloon that can fly to a height of 25 kilometers. It took 12 years to develop. Unlike rockets and hot air balloons, the reusable balloons will be lifted by helium (a very light gas). It will take two hours to rise and will stay there for an hour before beginning its going down. The capsule itself is 1.5 meters wide and has several windows that will allow passengers to view the earth below or the universe above.Keisuke Iwaya worked together with the Japanese travel company JTB Corp to support the sales when the space capsule is ready to operate as a business. Applications are now being accepted until the end of August, 2023. The first five passengers will be announced inOctober. At this point, the price is out of reach at €167,000 but will be reduced to the tens of thousands of euros.The first flights will leave once every week, weather permitting. While most future space travelers may dream about flying into space in a rocket, floating in a balloon capsule is a kinder and safer way to travel. Wish you a safe journey!8．What can we infer about space travel from paragraph 1?A．It will be available in 2033.B．It is used for scientific research.C．It is expensive at the moment.D．It only attracts wealthy passengers. 9．How does the author introduce the capsule in paragraph 4?A．By listing numbers.B．By telling reasons.C．By giving examples.D．By comparing opinions.10．What do you think of the future of the balloon space travel?A．Challenging.B．Unknown.C．Hopeful.D．Mysterious. 11．What is the text?A．A short story. B．A space diary.C．A book review.D．A news report.Can cities and nature exist together? The answer is yes.Visitors to Mexico’s second city, Monterrey, will not fail to be impressed by its mountains. But it is now set to be famous for another reason, its large, man-made environmental features.Monterrey plans to build 18 green corridors (走廊) of trees to fight climate change. Taken together, these projects plan to create over 940,000 square meters of parks, and over 73 km of city streets, taking part in the “extreme tree planting”.The city is set to start its plan for green corridors with the “Park Lake” project in the city’s northern area. This will create 80,000 square meters of green public space. In general, this first project aims to offer environmental services such as the water supply to deal with the problem of not having enough water, as well as combatting the extreme heat in the area, and to improve access to green spaces and recreational (娱乐的) areas for locals. The project is not about government actions; it is about creating community together with the people. It is realizing a good connection between companies, between people and government.What is planned for the first stage of the project? Locals can expect increased recreational features like exercise areas and spaces for picnics, outdoor games, and qualityplay areas for children.Designing Buildings reports that green corridors also connect the animals that have been separated by human development such as roads and houses, leading to an increase in the population of animals and preventing animals and plants from becoming too weak.These green corridors are used for many different purposes, offering an impressive list of social and environmental benefits to humans, and wild animals and plants. These include greater city and environmental qualities such as recreational areas, community gardening, and the cooling space under the trees. They encourage sports activities, social communication, happiness in nature, and non-polluting vehicles such as bicycles. They also help to prevent heat islands from forming, and protect people from air pollution.12．What do we know about Monterrey?A．It will become greener and greener.B．It will feature a natural environment. C．Its green corridors include 73 streets.D．Its mountains fail to impress visitors. 13．What does the underlined word “combatting” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

His team surveyed 50 grandmothers each with one biological grandchild be-tween 3 and 12 years old and one of their own child. They also measured the brain function as the participants viewed pictures of their grandchild and the same-sex parent of the grandchild. Researchers found that grandmothers viewing their grandchild’s pictures activated parts of the brain that involved emotional empathy(共鸣)and movement.In contrast, the study also found that when grandmothers viewed images of their adult child, they showed stronger activation in an area of the brain associated with cognitive(认知的)empathy. That indicates they may be trying to cognitively understand what their adult child is thinking or feeling and why, but not as much from the emotional side. Compared with results from an earlier study by the Rilling lab of fathers viewing photos of their children, results showed that grandmothers activated more parts of the brain that involved emotional empathy and motivation.“That suggests that grandmothers tend to feel what their grandchildren are feeling when they interact with them,” Rilling said. “If their grandchild is smiling, they’re feeling the child’s joy. And if their grandchild is crying, they’re feeling the child’s pain and sorrow.” In many societies, grandmothers are important caregivers, and their investment is often associated with improving their grandchildren’s well-being.It’s part of the reason why the US celebrates Grandparents’ Day each year on the first Sunday after Labor Day in September. The announcement was signed in 1978. “Because grandparents are usually free to love, guide and befriendthe young without having to take the daily responsibility for them. They can reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations,”the announcement read.4．How many generations were there at least in the participants’ families? A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.5．What did Rilling say about grandmothers and their grandchildren in paragraph 3?A．Their cognitive abilities. B．Their emotional interaction. C．Their respective preferences. D．Their important characteristics. 6．What did the 1978 announcement show?A．The fear of grandparents. B．Grandparents’ Day activities. C．Grandparents’ responsibilities. D．The origin of Grandparents’ Day. 7．What can be the best title for the text?A．Grandmothers Are More Likely to Be EmotionalB．Grandmothers Empathize with Their Own ChildrenC．Grandmothers Hold Deep Bond with GrandchildrenD．Grandmothers Have Generation Gaps with GrandchildrenJust when you thought you were taking care of your health by eating enough fruit and vegetables every day, new research has come out revealing that you might be swallowing microplastic particles (颗粒) along with all those vitamins, minerals, and fibre. A groundbreaking study published in the journal Environmental Research has found that fruits and vegetables absorb microplastic particles from the soil and move them through vegetal tissues, where they remain until eaten by hungry diners, thus getting transferred to human bodies.The researchers, who are from the University of Catania in Italy, as well as Sousse and Monastir universities in Tunisia, analyzed a variety of common fruits and vegetables — carrots, lettuce, broccoli, potatoes, apples, and pears. These were chosen for the fact that they are frequently consumed, usually one per day, which allowed the researchers to better assess the dietary intakes of MPs (microplastic particles) and NPs (nano-plastics). The samples were purchased from different sources in the city of Catania, including a small fruitvendor and a supermarket.The researchers found that apples, followed by pears, were the most polluted fruit samples, and carrots were the most polluted vegetable. In the study’s discussion section, the authors wrote, “We can assume that the fruits contain more MPs not only because of the very high vascularization(血管化) of the fruit pulp(果肉) but also due to the greater size and complexity of the root system and age of the tree (several years) compared to the vegetables (60–75 days for the carrot). ”This study is important because it’s the first to detect microplastics in fruits and vegetables.They have been found in other sources before, such as sea salt, beer, water (bottled, in particular), shellfish, sugar, soil, and even air, but never inside fresh produce. It’s an alarming discovery that raises yet another red flag about microplastic pollution in the natural environment.It’s an area that will likely see a lot more attention in coming years, with the study authors calling for further research into the question of microplastic and whether it harms the health of both plants and humans. 8．What is the study about?A．The main cause of soil pollution.B．The great changes in people’s diets.C．The benefits of eating fruits and vegetables.D．The microplastic pollution in fruits and vegetables.9．Why did researchers choose frequently eaten fruits and vegetables?A．To lower the cost of the study.B．To gain widespread acceptance.C．To improve the accuracy of the study.D．To reduce the time for preparing the samples.10．What may cause fruits to contain more MPs according to the authors? A．The deep spreading roots.B．The long growth period of fruit trees.C．The complex preservation method.D．The large amounts of the fruit pulp.11．What do the study authors think of the research on microplastic?A．It needs to be further studied.B．It wasted them quite a lot of time.C．It has raised people’s awareness of health.D．It has attracted people’s attention to diets.United Airlines is aiming to have electric aircraft flying regional routes by the end of the decade, part of the company’s goal to fully reduce its carbon footprint to net zero by 2050.Those battery-powered aircraft are being developed by Swedish start-up Heart Aerospace, from which United Airlines placed an order for 100 planes in July 2021. United Airlines has pushed heavily into a variety of lower-emission forms of aviation, not only announcing plans to buy electric air taxis and vertical aircraft, as well as hydrogen-electric engines but also investing in the companies behind the advanced technologies.“We cannot continue doing and operating our business the way we do; it is important that we change it, and the way we’ re going to change it is through investing in technology,” Mike Leskinen, United Airlines Ventures president, said in an interview as part of CNBC’s ESG Impact virtual conference on Thursday. “Existing technology is going to either cause us to fly less, which is an unacceptable alternative, or continue with a carbon footprint, which we believe is equally unacceptable,” Leskinen said.Heart Aerospace, which recently redesigned what will be its first electric aircraft which is now called the ES-30, plans to have the planes enter service in 2028, said Anders Forslund, the company’s CEO and founder.The 30-passenger planes will be driven by electric motors with battery-derived energy, allowing the planes to have a fully electric range of 200 kilometers. The planes will also include a reserve- hybrid engine powered by sustainable aviation fuel, allowing it to have an extended range of up to 400 kilometers with a full flight.United Airlines could potentially offer those shorter routes not only with greater frequency but at a lower cost. Leskinen said. “As we adopt electricaircraft, I think the cost for a 30-seat aircraft or a 50-seat aircraft, as the industry evolves, is going to be lower than a traditional aircraft,” he said. For small cities, this means they are “going to get either service that they didn’t have before or greater frequency of service,” he added.12．What message did Mike Leskinen try to deliver in paragraph 3? A．Economic benefits should come first.B．Environmental protection should come first.C．Economy and environment should be equally valued.D．Economy and environment can’t be balanced.13．What do we learn about the electric planes mentioned in the text? A．They will offer short-distance flights. B．They will fly faster than traditional ones.C．They were developed by United Airlines. D．They each can hold 30 passengers at most.14．What did Leskinen try to stress about the electric planes in the last paragraph?A．Their security performance. B．Their potential benefits. C．Their operating modes. D．Their possible problems. 15．Which would be the most suitable title for the text?A．ES-30 Will Be Driven by Electric MotorsB．The Airline Industry Faces New OpportunitiesC．Heart Aerospace Plans to Develop Electric PlanesD．United Airlines Aims to Have Electric Planes Flying二、七选五How to Make a Difference in Your CareerMaking a meaningful career choice is a crucial decision in life. 16 , such as being a doctor, teacher or charity worker.

She says she was recording voice overs（画外音）for a TV show which I was terrible at-when a friend helped her get an audition with an audiobook publisher（出版商）."I thought this was the perfect marriage：getting to play all the parts and reading the book，"she adds. Campbell has never had any contact with Owens，but she feels closely connected with the story of a motherless girl who is left to take care of herself in the wild."There was one section where the girl goes out of themarsh，and it was so beautifully written and so clear，" she says."The scientific descriptions of the natural world were really attractive to me." Like many experienced narrators，Campbell has a recording room at her home in Sherman Oaks，California."It's in the garage（车库），and it's not attractive"The setup allows for a pleasing transition to fully faraway work during the pandemic（流行病）.And the state of being separate allows her to disappear further into the story，an experience she describes as part consideration，part communication with the language.4. What's mainly talked about in Paragraph 1？______A. The social status of Campbell.B. The achievements of Campbell.C. The work environment of Campbell.D. The influence of Campbell's works.5. Which audiobook is Campbell most famous for？______A. Golem Girl.B. True Story.C. Eat the Buddha.D. Where the Crawdads Sing.6. What inspired Campbell's two interests？______A. Her father's job.B. Her father's instruction.C. An audiobook publisher.D. Her friend's encouragement.7. What can we learn from Paragraph 4？______A. Campbell is a motherless girl.B. Campbell prefers to live in the wild.C. Campbell thinks highly of Owens novel.D. Campbell keeps in close touch with Owens.CLos Angeles is a noodle bowl of highways.It's also one of the only two cities in the world where big cats walk wild inside the city boundaries（边界）.But big cats and highways do not mix，which is why Los Angeles will soon be home to one of the world's biggest wildlife corridors（走廊）.Last month the governor of California，Gavin Newsom，launched construction （发起建设）.The cats in question are mountain lions，They live in the Santa Monica Mountains，Their numbers are unchanging.Their habitat is mostly natural wilderness，full of deer，the lions food.The ecology（生态）of their home，the largest city national park in the world，is healthy.Yet animals can be in danger without habitat loss.Genetic degradation（基因退化）can be just as deadly.Cutting through the mountains is Route 101，carrying up to 10，000 vehicles an hour.It cuts the Santa Monica range off from a larger wilderness to the north.The southern area is not big enough for all the lions.The result is a population trapped with inbreeding and genetic degradation.Four years after that study came the first evidence（证据）that the big cats were suffering physical damage.In the early 1990s biologistsstudying the Florida panther，a closely related animal，found that many of the males had the same genetic shortcomings.The Florida panther escaped extinction only thanks to the introduction of females brought from Texas to refresh the gene pool.California does not need to go that far.There are healthy mountain-lion populations north of the Santa Monica range，separated by the road.Hidden cameras show the animals waited at the side of the highway，not daring to cross.The solution is a 165-foot-wide dirt bridge which would allow them to walk high over the traffic.The animals become sexually mature（成熟）at 2 to 3 years and have babies every other year.So within ten years of the corridor's completion the great-grandchildren of the first mating beyond the mountains could have babies.Genetically，even a few matings would make a difference. "We'll definitely save the mountain lion，"thinks Paul Edelman of the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority （MRCA）. "It's just a matter of how long it takes."8. What can we know about the corridor？______A. It is being constructed by MRCA.B. It will take about ten years to complete.C. It is supported by the governor of California.D. It will be the world's biggest wildlife corridor.9. Why can mountain lions be in danger？______A. They lack food.B. Their habitat is lost.C. Their genes are becoming worse.D. They are being hunted without limit.10. What's the solution to the problem with mountain lions？______A. Making laws to protect their habitat.B. Introducing females from other states.C. Setting up more national parks for them.D. Building a dirt bridge for them to cross Route 101.11. Where can we probably find the text？______A. In a textbook.B. In a novel.C. In a travel guide.D. In a science magazine.DA broken heart.A sad ending to a love affair.That's something most of us have experienced，or probably will After all，it's part of human life.But no question，the experience can be serious.You might find yourself listening more to sad music，sad songs.Or worse，that you've been into a sense of hopelessness about life itself.You might feel a sadness，as in Neil Young's Only Love Can Break Your Heart，or the pain of a lyric from Bob Dylan's Love Sick："I'm sick of love I wish I'd never met you."But research shows there are pathways through the heartache Listeningto sad music is a major one.It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again.It can activate empathy（共鸣）and the desire to connect with others both pathways through the prison of heartache and sadness.That may sound paradoxical（相悖的）.Especially if you listen to melancholy music，like Marianelli's Farewell，or to popular songs-and there are plenty of them，across decades and generations：Billie Eilish's When The Party's Over in our present times；R.E.M.'s Everybody Hurts，from the 90s.New research finds that sad music can help heal（治愈）and uplift you from your broken heart.For example，a recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy and a desire for positive connection with others.That，itself，is psychologically（心理的）healing.The finding links with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally accepting reality as it isstirs（唤起）healing and growth beyond it.In short，accepting your full experience arouses hope.For example，research from Cornell University，described here and published in Psychological Science，found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation，and viewing it as a step towards growth and change，generates motivation（动力）to find a pathway through it，beyond it.12. Who sang the song Love Sick？______A. Neil Young.B. Bob Dylan.C. Marianelli.D. Billie Eilish.13. What does the underlined word"melancholy"in Paragraph 4 mean？______A. Peaceful.B. Popular.C. Light.D. Sad.14. What should you do when in sad situations according to the last paragraph？______A. Accept reality as it is.B. Turn to a psychologist for help.C. Read some books about psychology.D. Get fully prepared and make big changes.15. What's the best title for the text？______A. The Importance of MusicB. How to Heal a Broken HeartC. The Sad Music's Effect on HeartacheD.

He is a logger who cuts down trees using a knife. The forest where he worked is in the Ondo State in Southwest Nigeria. But many trees in that forest have been lost to too much logging.The 61-year-old father of two said that he could cut down over 15 trees anywhere in the forest,but he would be lucky to find only two now.“During the time of my father, we had big trees but sadly what we have now are just small trees and we don’t even allow them to grow tall enough before we cut them,” Marigi said.After cutting down the trees, Marigi puts markers on them to let other loggers know that he is the owner. The cut-down trees, or logs, are then transported(运输)by waterways and rivers to Nigeria’s biggest city, Lagos.Trees in Nigeria are cut down to open land for farming or to feed the energy need of a growing population. From 2001 to 2021, Nigeria has lost 1. 14 million hectares of tree cover.Months after cutting down the trees, Marigi returned to the forest to tie his 40 logs together so they could be transported. With other loggers, he paid for a boat to pull the logs through waterways from Ondo State to Lagos.They built simple houses on top of the logs to help protect themselves from the weather. Food was shared and they sang traditional songs to cheer themselves up. They did not sleep at night to make sure that the logs would not get away from the boat. The boat stopped at several places to pickup more loggers and their logs. A single boat can transport thousands of such logs.Marigi’s trip ended in Lagos where logs from Ondo State and other parts of the country came together. The logs were then cut and sold to users.4．What can we learn about his father according to Marigi?A．He took good care of the forest.B．He could cut down trees for free.C．He left small trees to later generations.D．He had plenty of big trees to cut.5．How does Marigi show the ownership of the trees he cut down?A．By moving them to his house.B．By making signs on them.C．By putting them near waterways.D．By living on top of them.6．Why did Marigi go back into the forest?A．To collect his woods.B．To plant small trees.C．To look for big trees.D．To open land for farming.7．Why didn’t Marigi and his partners sleep at night?A．Their houses were too small to sleep in.B．They were busy with the woods for sale.C．They protected the woods from being lost.D．They needed to work together continuously.At Phoenix Bikes, a bicycle shop, students are learning to repair bikes. Phoenix Bikes sells bikes to the public at their business in Arlington, Virginia. But it also teaches teenagers how to repair bikes.Most students at Phoenix Bikes start in its after-school “earn-a-bike program”, at middle and high schools in and around Arlington County. Once a week over a 12-week period, students learn repair skills. They learn how to use tools, fix flat tires, correct the wheels, and change gears (齿轮). The first lesson includes splitting the bike, and by doing this, they learn all the parts of a bike.In the first few weeks, they work in small groups to repair a bike given to the shop. The bikes often have missing or damaged parts. The finished bike is then given to a person in need from the community (社区). In the last four weeks of the program, students come to the shop to work on one of the given bikes which they can then take home at no cost.Anthony is a student at nearby Wakefield High School. He just completed his bike. He said it was not in good shape at first but was the kind of bike he was looking for and could be made into something better. He said it had no light, no front tire, and was without a chain, which controls the gears. He said he joined the program to get better at working with his hands and fixing things.Phoenix Bikes is teaching 300 to 400 young people this year. Phoenix communications coordinator Gage said the classes are fun and let students learn with their hands after sitting in the classroom all day at school. He added that bikes are interesting for teenagers especiallybecause they are a means of transportation and freedom. Learning how to fix a bike can also be a fun challenge, he said.8．What does the underlined word “splitting” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Putting away.B．Breaking up.C．Unlocking.D．Moving. 9．What do students do with the bikes repaired in the last four weeks?A．They sell them to whoever likes it.B．They use them in the training.C．They keep them for themselves.D．They give them to those in need. 10．Why did Anthony take the trouble to repair the broken bike?A．It was the type of bike he liked.B．It was a must to finish the training.C．He needed to prove his ability.D．He wanted to get real experience. 11．What did Gage think of their program?A．It did good to students’ studies.B．It offered fun transportation to students.C．It was too hard for students.D．It was valuable to students.In February, the U.S. stated that its Mars explorer, Perseverance, landed successfully on the Red Planet.

Branson joined two pilots and three other task experts on the flight. Virgin Galactic aims to fly private citizens to the edge of space to experience a few minutes of weightlessness and observe the Earth.A little over a week later, American billionaire Jeff Bezos flew to the edge of space on a rocket built by his company, Blue Origin. Three other people took the quick trip with him: Bezos’ brother, a Dutch teenager and an 82-year-old pilot.The flights by Branson and Bezos officially started a new industry that promises anycitizen the chance to visit space. Such trips will be costly, however. Virgin Galactic’s price for a single flight is $250,000. Blue Origin has not publicly announced its price. Both businesses have built operating bases, called spaceports, in the countryside areas of the U.S.And earlier this month, Japanese billionaire Y usaku Maezawa arrived at the International Space Station (ISS), their destination where they stayed for 12 days.

However, that is not true.What type of shade (背阴处) do you have?The first step is understanding the type of shade you have. This is based on the amount (数量) of time that the sun shines on the area. 16 They are:• part shade (3-6 hours of direct sun, usually in the morning)• full shade (less than 3 hours of direct sun)• deep shade (sunlight rarely, if ever, gets through trees or past structures like buildings) Buy the right plantsWhen you know your shade conditions, find plants that suit them. 17 You can also research that information online, in books or magazines. Experts at gardening stores are other sources of information.And don’t forget your gardeners nearby. When walking around a community garden or your neighborhood, take note of plants growing in shady areas. Talk to the gardeners. 18 Ways to increase lightThe gardening expert adds that painting nearby structures white mirrors sunlight. Glass and mirrored objects can also mirror light around the garden. If possible, carefully cut some tree branches (树枝). This lets more sunlight reach the ground.What to plant?Search for the low-light plants suitable for your area. 19 Vegetables like tomatoes need a lot of sun. But leafy greens actually grow better in part shade.As for pests (害虫), some kinds like shade gardens.
