It was mid-afternoon. I looked outside my dorm window, and saw the lifeless gray sky, the snow and the trackless sidewalks. There was no one in the snow but a squirrel. The brown-gray North American squirrel,a look of terror in his shining eyes, braved the cold to throw himself over snow. In his mouth was a large acorn(橡实)—I was surprised it fit in his mouth.
I moved closer to my window, outside of which is a medium-sized tree, lacking its warm-weather leaves. The squirrel ran up rapidly, higher and higher in the tree, and his small body held onto his dear acorn.
Up he went, to the tip of one of the highest branches. I held my breath—I wondered if that slender branch could support him. I wondered if his winter food store was in this tree—squirrels are known to hide their nuts, mushrooms, and vegetation high up in trees. Outside, the squirrel firmly grasped that branch, jaw clamping(夹紧)on his acorn.
Then came the wind blowing violently, shaking the tree, the branch and the squirrel. He hung on for dear life, and both arms wrapped around the branch in the wind. I held my breath: If he fell from a height like this, then.... Seeing this little squirrel, I had my heart in my mouth. As the wind became stronger, the squirrel’s precious acorn fell to the ground. The squirrel followed its downward progress only by sight—if he let go the branch, he would fall downwards as well. I was so nervous that I didn’t take my gaze off the squirrel for one minute. Surprisingly, he then climbed down the tree and was now half-buried in the snow, searching desperately for his acorn. Finally, he made it.
The brave animal is able to survive in nature all because of its desperate efforts.The same goes for us humans. We all work hard to survive, and this is the law of nature. So effort is not something special, but a matter for all living things to do to survive.
24. What did the author discover outside the window
A. A squirrel was freezing nearly to death.
B. A squirrel was choked by a large acorn.
C. A squirrel was picking acorns from a tree.
D. A squirrel was climbing to the top of a tree.
25. What does the underlined word “slender” mean in paragraph 3
A. Dead. B. Straight. C. Slim. D. Thick.
26. What is the author’s attitude to the squirrel in paragraph 4
A. Concerned. B. Unfriendly. C. Uncaring. D. Curious.
27. What does the story intend to convey
A. Stop struggling, life is stopped.
B. Facts speak louder than words.
C. Failure is the mother of success.
D. Teaching others teaches yourself.
C
Imagine being able to pop to your local park and pick some tomatoes, potatoes or even bananas to take home for dinner. Sounds too good to be true, right For residents of Andernach, German, it’s not just a dream—it’s their reality.
In 2010, Andernach began its edible(可食用的)city project, planting 101 varieties of tomatoes in public green spaces around the city centre. Its 30,000 residents are free to help themselves to whatever grows, as are any other visitors. The town’s motto of sorts is “Picking is encouraged—help yourself!” Every year a new type of plant is highlighted. In 2011, 100 types of beans were planted, while 2012saw the introduction of 20 onion varieties.
It’s a community effort, as local citizens are encouraged to help plant and maintain the gardens. This offers an opportunity to socialise as well as to learn about planting, cultivating and harvesting food.
An Andernach resident spoke to DW,“I often drop by to pick some herbs that I’m missing at home. Everything is easily accessible. There aren’t any fences. You just take what you need. The only thing is that you have to be quick once the fruits are ripe or they’ll all be gone!”
Andernach may have been the first in German, but it isn’t the only edible city. It’s part of the Edible Cities Network, a project funded by European Union to connect green urban foot initiatives around the world. Other cities include Carthage in Tunisia, Havana in Cuba and Sempeter-Vrtojba in Slovenia. In February 2022, the first Edible Cities Network Conference took place. Dr Ina Saumel, principal investigator of the Edible Cities Network, called it “a unique opportunity to invite researchers of edible city solutions and practitioners to the same table.”
Ultimately, the Edible Cities Network aims to give people “greener, more edible and, above all, more livable cities.” It is a response to the pressures of global climate change, and a significant cause full of hope.
28. What can residents do in public green spaces according to the edible city project
A. Sell the produce they grow there.
B. Learn knowledge about planting.
C. Grow whatever plant as they like.
D. Pay to pick some vegetables there.
29 Which words can best describe the edible city project in Andernach
A. Novel and popular. B. Creative and costly.
C. Common and fundamental. D. Rare and unacceptable.
30. What can we know about the Edible Cities Network from Dr Ina Saumel’s words
A. Andernach is the only city to carry it out.
B. European Union originally established it.
C. It helps combine theories with practices.
D. It invites people to share meals together.
31. What is the purpose of the Edible Cities Network
A. To help residents relieve their pressure.
B. To involve residents in urban planting.
C. To increase the produce supply in cities.
D. To create environmentally friendly cities.
D
Recently, research on how a new virtual reality (VR) experience educated primary children about the fire disasters was done.It was developed by the University of South Australia, aiming to educate children to learn how to be safer in a fire.
Focusing on children aged 10-12 years old, the new VR experience presents a situation where children are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins to unfold. They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.
The findings showed that more than 80 percent of children reported that they felt more confident to calmly evaluate the options and make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. This is especially significant considering that 91 per cent of participants originally lacked any knowledge of fires, and that 67 per cent had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.
The researchers believed such immersive (沉浸式的)VR experiences had real potential to engage, educate and empower the young.”As children born in digital times,they are engaged by such technology and they can experience events realistically yet within the safe environment,“ said Delene Weber, one of there searchers.“Well-designed VR can provide an opportunity for children to apply newly acquired knowledge, strengthen their learnt concepts, and enable immediate feedback—all incredibly valuable learning tools.”
Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. Yet the capacity for children to contribute to fire safety at their household should not be underestimated.
“Children do not need to be passive victims of disasters and with purpose-built virtual reality experiences such as these,we can help empower children to understand the risks and realize they can help,”said Weber.
32. How does the new VR experience try to educate children
A. By introducing a virtual friend to them.
B. By letting them solve virtual problems.
C. By analyzing the causes of a fire event.
D By guiding them to ask dog for help.
33. What did the result of the research about VR experiences show
A. Many children found it hard to adapt to them.
B. They worked for children with knowledge of fire.
C. They could greatly help ensure children’s safety.
D. Most children had a misunderstanding about them.
34. What is Weber think of the new VR experiences
A. Unrealistic. B. Dangerous. C. Unnecessary. D. Significant.
35. What can be the most suitable title for the text
A. VR experiences make learning easier for kids
B. VR experiences educate kids to survive a fire
C. VR education appeals to the young generation
D. VR technology makes no sense in fighting a fire

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Anna thought she finally knew what life was all about, it dealt her a heavy blow. Her husband passed away suddenly. They had been making plans to get away on a dream trip to France. Now it was too late, and Anna wept over all the memories they wouldn’t be sharing. She was heartbroken.
“I’m so worried about Mom,” Anna’s daughter Clara said to her son, Ron, one day. “It’s been over six months, and she’s still sad. She won’t leave the house, not for anything.”
Ron, a fourteen-year-old boy who had been close to his grandparents, was upset. “Poor grandma!” he sighed. He knew his grandpa was her world. Ron wondered how he could cheer his grandma up. “What if I start taking her out in the afternoon for walks the way she and Grandpa used to do ” he asked. “That’s a great idea, Ron!” his mother said.
So the next day, Ron showed up at his grandma’s house an hour before sunset. “Hey, grandma,” he said. “How about walking down to the lake and watching the sunset ” Anna turned her face away so her grandson couldn’t see her tears and said. “Why would I want to do a stupid thing like that Don’t bother me!”
Ron was hurt by his grandmother’s words, but what he didn’t know was that Anna was just as upset. “Why did I say that to the poor boy ” she asked herself. “He was only trying to help.”
That night Ron told his mom what had happened. “Maybe she doesn’t want our help,” he said sadly. Clara replied, “She definitely needs it. Your grandpa would hope she could continue to love life. He once always brought her red roses and she loved them very much!”
That was when a brilliant idea struck Ron. He decided to buy his grandma roses like his grandpa used to do. Maybe the daily reminder that she was loved would turn things around. But first, he needed to earn money to buy roses, which weren’t cheap. Ron decided that he wasn’t going to say a word to his mom. He was going to do this for his grandmother, all by himself.
注意:
1.续写词数应150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next Saturday morning, he tried to find a part-time job.

【答案】参考范文:
The next Saturday morning, he tried to find a part-time job. After many efforts, he managed to land a part-time job in a grocery store on weekends. Eager to help his grandma, Ron worked hard. And to save money, he stopped eating out and buying snacks. Finally, he received his first salary. Ron went to the local flower store and ordered some flowers to be delivered to Anna’s house that afternoon. Then he decided to visit his grandma to see if the flowers would help and to see if his hard work was worth it.
When Ron arrived at his grandma’s house, he saw her holding the roses and smiling. “Look, Ron!” she cried in delight. “Someone sent me flowers, just like your grandfather used to do...” She said that these flowers brought her good memories back. He said, “It’s so good to see you look better, Grandma.” Ron was even more determined to keep those flowers coming. Anna slowly recovered her passion for life. And she was planning the trip to France she always dreamed of with her daughter and her son-in-law. She never found out who was sending the flowers, and Ron is still keeping that secret.
