It was made in 1734, in Italy, by Antonio Stradivari. Only about 600 of his violins are believed to still exist. They were regarded as the rarest and best instruments in the world.Roman’s Stradivarius was his musical partner for 38 years. Then bad luck struck; the violin was stolen from his office after a concert while he greeted well-wishers. He was shocked and upset by its loss. “Yes, it’s a bit like losing your arm,” he told his daughter, Jill.It took Roman a year to find and buy a new violin as the size and tones (音质) of each were different from his. He had to learn his musical pieces all over again! Roman kept playing into his 90s and taught at Boston University until he died in 2012, aged 101.His daughter says, “We wondered from time to time if the violin would surface, but... Our mother and father taught us to keep moving forward and not think over what life throws at you.”In 2015, the wife of the man who stole the violin wanted to know if it was really a Stradivarius. She had looked after him when he was dying from cancer and now it belonged to her. She took it to master violin maker and dealer Phillip Injeia. He recognized it immediately and contacted the FBI. Jill, who received the call from FBI, said in an interview, “I said, ‘I have to call my sisters. I’ll tell them not to get their hopes up,’ but Phillip Injeian said, ‘You don’t have to do that. This is the violin.’”Jill said they would sell the violin, not to a collector but someone who would play it. She said it would finally be in the hands of another great artist and its amazing voice would be heard in concert halls around the country.4．Why did Roman feel like he had lost an arm after the violin was stolen?A．It cost him a lot of money.B．It had served as a useful arm.C．It had been his musical partner.D．It was created by a famous maker.5．What is the turning point of this story?A．The FBI got in touch with Jill.B．The Stradivarius was found missing.C．Roman Totenberg died in 2012, aged 101.D．The violin was taken to a master violin maker and dealer.6．Why would the family like the violin to be owned by a violinist?A．They intended to become well-known.B．They wanted to sell it at a higher price.C．They hoped to remember Roman Totenberg.D．They wished to make the most of the Stradivarius.7．Which words can best describe Phillip Injeian?A．Expert and confident.B．Creative and careful.C．Learned and proud.D．Strong-willed and friendly.It’s reported that about 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest has disappeared during thespecies native to the Amazon River area, it’s affecting humans worldwide. When it comes to the protection of the Amazon, it’s hard for many people to relate because they don’t feel connected to the area. There are actually a lot of direct connections, no matter how far away we are.A connection that affects everyone on the planet is climate (气候) change. Planting new trees in the forest is basically a way of removing CO2 from the air. Rain forests have a carbon (碳) reduction nearly equal to half of what is in the air. About half of that is in the Amazon. Another case in point is a big snake called the bushmaster that lives in the Amazon. Today, millions of people use medicines made from its venom (毒液) to treat high blood pressure. So they have longer, fuller, and more productive lives.In the 1960s, there was only one highway in the entire Amazon. That’s an area as large as the continental United States with one highway and three million people. Today, there are between 30 million to 40 million people, countless roads, and about 20 percent forests have been cut down. But on the plus side, 50 years ago there were only two national parks and a national forest and a reserve in Brazil. Today, more than 50 percent of the Amazon is under some form of protection.“There’s been a lot of damage done and forest lost, but nothing is gone until it’s gone”, noted National Geographic explorer Dr. Thomas Lovejoy. “We want to see more shared planning between the departments of transportation, energy, agriculture, and the other industries in the area. We think Amazon cities can have higher quality of life and keep people in existing cities so there’s less reason to deforest.”8．Which can replace the underlined word “Deforestation” in paragraph 1?A．Planting more trees.B．Destroying the forests.C．Protecting the species.D．Polluting the rivers.9．What might the partial loss of the Amazon rainforest lead to?A．The increase of extreme weather.B．The removal of CO2.C．More people with high blood pressure.D．The overgrowth of the bushmaster. 10．How does paragraph 3 mainly develop?A．By making comparisons.B．By listing reasons.C．By explaining a definition.D．By making a summary.11．What is Dr. Thomas’ attitude towards the future of the Amazon rainforest?A．Doubtful.B．Worried.C．Positive.D．Uncaring.While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed.Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted orplayed games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of the study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”12．Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities?A．Seeing movies.B．Watching videos.C．Texting friends.D．Surfing the internet.13．Who might lose the most sleep according to the text?A．Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed.B．Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed.C．Sam who played computer games for two hours throughout the day.D．Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning. 14．What does the underlined word “tricky” mean in paragraph 4?A．Frightening.B．Awkward.C．Hopeless.D．Encouraging. 15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Screen time activities cut down our sleep hoursB．Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagersC．Passive screen use is better than interactive screen useD．Parents should prevent children from using social mediaReading is a healthy habit that everyone should develop from childhood because of theThe following will discuss the effects of not reading books, so you can basically consider and judge where you are and understand how reading can be beneficial.17 People who don’t read and don’t like to read find it harder to learn than people who actually read. For example, most students who fail to develop a reading habit find it difficult to get through school. This then leads to students dropping out, which is bad for society. Reading is a habit that strengthens the brain and develops your inborn love ofwanting to learn more. Therefore, not being addicted to books closes you off from this.Narrow mindedness. Reading a variety of books broadens the readers’ mind. Most people who don’t read have a certain narrow mindedness to them that can easily be noticed.18 When you don’t read, you’re forced to take everything at face value and then create and shape your views in this way.Low brain power. One advantage of reading is its ability to improve brain function. Reading can help people become better thinkers and use brains more effectively. People who don’t read usually have low brain power because they don’t exercise the brain as much as readers do. 19Poor imagination. Reading books allows you to tap into your imaginative power. 20 This is important because it expands (拓展) your thought process as well as the ability to understand. People who don’t read books usually are short of the inspiration necessary to create imagination. This makes it difficult to be creative.A．Learning difficulty.B．The reason for this is simple.C．Such exercise strengthens the brain.D．Inability to fully understand the world.E．It then makes you picture what you read.F．It is developed slowly just as any habit would.G．The ability to read is important in today’s world.二、完形填空As Hallee gets to the finish line of the 800-metre run for kids, the crowd is cheeringWhen the twins were five, Jada decided that she wanted to be a(n) 27 .

I ended up really enjoying the process of being creative and working with a team. That was when I knew I wanted to be a director.”While many people think that directors are experts at art, Di found that directors are, in fact, experts at management. “Only one-third of my time is spent on set.

It is the core principle of a sustainable (可持续的) life, but few of us can apply it in our own lives. Now, there’s a “lab” you can explore and discover a way toward living sustainably.3R Lab is located in Xuhui district, Shanghai. It offers exhibitions, activities and goods that showcase the 3R principle. The key to a sustainable life, according to Vincent T. M. Fong, the 32-year-old from Hong Kong who created the lab, is to make it a long-term promise. “A sustain able life should be sustainable itself in the first place. You can’t lead a sustainable life on a whim. Small and comfortable changes are exactly what you need,” Fong said.The lab regularly hosts ugly fruit markets, offering these strange fruits which are often thrown away by traditional markets and consumers at a quite attractive price. “They’re thrown away simply because of their appearance. Buying fruit regardless of how they look reduces food waste significantly in our daily life,” Fong commented.A wa ter tank with two types of straws is another equipment in the lab. “One type is made from normal plastics widely used in our daily life while the other is from PHA, a new replacement for plastics, and the water is sourced from the Suzhou River,” explained Ni Li, an employee of the lab. Visitors can see how the PHA straws degrade (降解) into a thin layer in just one month, while the others remain unchanged.“Leading a sustainable life does not necessarily mean sacrifice,” said Fong. Consuming ugly fruit and using degradable plastics are small changes that are good for the environment and easy to stick to. Only in this way can the 3R principle become part of our lives, he added.After working there for six months, Ni, who wasn’t mindful of the 3R principle befor e arriving at the lab, now uses her cup every time she buys a coffee. “The job has reshaped my life,” Ni said.8. What does the-underlined phrase “on a whim” in the second paragraph probably mean?A．In a rush. B．On a regular basis.C．Without any reason. D．As a common practice.9. What is the purpose of the ugly fruit market at 3R Lab?A．To reduce food waste. B．To promote healthy eating.C．To sell new kinds of fruit. D．To provide more affordable fruit,10. What can the water tank at 3R Lab show to its visitors?A．The water pollution caused by plastics. B．The degradation of PHA straws.C．The interaction between two types of straws. D．The disappearance of normal plastic straws.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph about Ni?A．She avoids going to traditional markets. B．She has devoted less time to her hobbies.C．She has got rid of a few bad habits. D．She is leading a low carbon life now. The year 2023 marked the 20th anniversary of China’s first manned space mission, with Yang Liwei becoming the first Chinese astronaut to go to space. Since then, another 17 astronauts have reached for the stars. The selection of the fourth generation of astronauts began in 2022 and is now in full swing. Experts revealed how difficult the training is before astronauts can explore the space.The human body is not designed for space life. Astronauts are faced with multiple challenges on a space mission. The changes in gravity can have an impact on their bodies. The feeling of isolation and closed living in a small spacecraft for months can damage their mental health. Emergencies during missions challenge their knowledge and ability to solve problems under huge pressure. So it’s no wonder that astronauts have to meet extremely high standards and go through a tough training program.To make sure that Chinese astronauts complete their missions and return to Earth safely, “Eight types, including over 200 subjects of training, were set,” Huang Weifen, chief designer of the astronaut system for China’s manned space project, told CCTV News. Apart from physical fitness training, it also includes basic scientific theories, psychological health, and mock (模拟的) missions. Among the training subjects, the most tiring one is underwater training. This training is designed for astronauts to adapt to the microgravity environment in space. According to Huang, astronauts stay underwater in suits weighing over 100 kilograms for six hours at a time. Water resistance (阻力) and the heavy suit make every move exhausting. “Nie Haisheng once repor ted a two-kilogram loss in weight after one underwatei training exercise,” said Huang, Each astronaut receives training for at least three and a half years before having the chance to go to space.Who can become astronauts? The first and second generations of Chinese astronauts were selected only from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force. However, since 2018, when the third-generation selection process began, ordinary people have been invited to apply. They can fly with pilot astronauts to space.12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．High standards astronauts need to meet. B．Health problems caused by microgravity.C．Requirements of the tough astronaut training. D．Different challenges astronauts face in space.13. Which is the most physically demanding for its participants according to the article?A．Mock mission. B．Underwater training.C．Physical fitness training. D．Scientific theory learning.14. Why did Huang mention Nie Haishertg’s two-kilogram weight loss?A．To stress how challenging the training is. B．To describe Nie’s personal achievements.C．To introduce the weight limit for astronauts. D．To explain the importance of proper training.15. What is the most suitable title for the passage?A．The Qualities of Being an Astronaut B．Astronauts Faced with MultipleChallengesC．Preparing the Mind and Body for Space D．The 20th Anniversary of China’s SpaceMissionMinor Cold is the 23rd solar term of the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms. For most areas of China, it marks the start of the coldest days of the year. Still, bitter cold can’t prevent people from enjoying their lives. 16Enjoy Mutton hot pot and baked sweet potato.Mutton hot pot, and baked sweet potato are two recommended foods for Minor Cold. 17 It can help prevent cold from harming their organs. The yang energy in the three types of food is strengthened through their method of cooking: boiling, stir frying and baking.Eat Laba porridge.Another important traditional food for Minor Cold is Laba porridge. 18 Local people in Beijing often cook Laba porridge on the night of the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. After one night’s slow simmering, all the ingredients melt into the porridge in the morning of the eighth day, becoming a warm delicacy to enjoy on cold days.19People in Nanjing used to take Minor Cold quite seriously, and they still keep a custom of eating vegetable rice to celebrate this solar term. The rice is steamed with aijiaohuang, sausage and salted duck that are all the specialties in Nanjing.Make Chinese traditional herbal medicine.20 Many people need them to prepare new medicines, which will be consumed before the Lunar New Year.“Nothing will ever be the same again”, Ally said to herself.Ally’s father died last summer.
