The world is full of cheap vacation spots. Here are my favorite cheap places to travel to help you plan your next affordable adventure:
Thailand
Thailand is incredible. It’s also super. affordable. With a tourist trail going back decades, Thailand is the heart of backpacking in Southeast Asia, and you can get by on between $30-35 per day thanks to cheap guesthouses, budget street food (which can be found for as little as $1 !), local buses, and the many cheap and free attractions. However, even at the price, Thailand is still one of the most bargain-friendly destinations in the world and should not be skipped!
Cambodia
It’s affordable and beautiful, and the locals are incredibly hospitable. You can get a private, air-conditioned room for $25, street food for S2-5 and transportation across the entire country for $20-25. If you are spending close to $50 per day, you are living large. Cambodia is cheaper than popular Thailand but just as beautiful and filled with some of the nicest people in the world. Plus, it’s home to the incredible Angkor Wat .
Portugal
It is a country with beautiful beaches, stunning seaside cliffs, delicious food, friendly locals, and historic cities all at bargain prices. Portugal has become a lot more popular and crowded in recent years and Lisbon has become especially expensive as people move there and drive up prices. It’s a great place after all! However, once you get outside of Lisbon, prices are still relatively cheap compared to the rest of Western Europe. Expect to get by on S45-60 per day if you’re a budget backpacker.
Georgia
Georgia has everything 1 need in a destination: it’s cheap, has delicious food and wine, offers incredible hikes and mountain scenery without huge numbers of tourists. You can get by on next to nothing here too, with budget travelers spending as little as $25 per day. Beer is around $2, a week’s worth of groceries costs around $25-30, and most museums and historic sites cost just $2-3.
1. Which country is the best choice, if you have a tight budget
A. Thailand. B. Cambodia. C. Portugal. D. Georgia.
2. What can tourists do in Portugal according to the passage
A. Climb up the stunning mountain cliff. B. Purchase the cheapest things in Lisbon.
C. Visit beautiful beaches and historic cities. D. Enjoy delicious street food and wine.
3. Where can the text be found
A In a history book. B. In a novel.
C. In a travel brochure. D. In an art magazine.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四个作者喜欢且便宜的旅行地点。

If you are spending close to $50 per day, you are living large.(你可以花25美元得到一个带空调的私人房间，花20-25美元得到S2-5号的街头小吃和穿越整个国家的交通。如果你每天花费接近50美元，你就过着奢侈的生活。)”，Portugal中的“Expect to get by on S45-60 per day if you’re a budget backpacker.(如果你是一个精打细算的背包客，预计每天花费45-60英镑。)”, Georgia中的“You can get by on next to nothing here too, with budget travelers spending as little as $25 per day. (在这里，你几乎什么也不用花，预算旅行者每天只花25美元。)”可知，如果预算紧张，Georgia花费最低，平均每天只需25美元，故选D项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Portugal中的“It is a country with beautiful beaches, stunning seaside cliffs, delicious food, friendly locals, and historic cities all at bargain prices.( 这是一个拥有美丽海滩、迷人的海滨悬崖、美味佳肴、友好的当地人和历史名城的国家，价格低廉。)”可知游客在Portugal可以参观美丽的海滩和历史名城，故选C项。

B
When the film Everything Everywhere All at Once was released, it felt like its highly positive responses came out of nowhere. Reviews were posted, cinema screenings were sold out, and people were weeping online simply because it was that good. It has swiftly become the Internet’s new favorite film. Below is something you need to know about this film.
Evelyn Wang (starring Michelle Yeoh) is a Chinese American woman who is between running her laundry business and dealing with the breakdown of her relationship with her marriage and her daughter. However, this is not just a film about the bonds of family; instead, Wang discovers a technology that can make her have access to alternate realities. To make the universe and all of is alternatives hang in the balance, Wang sets out to save them all.
In a word, it’s a story about an aging Chinese immigrant caught up in a crazy adventure, where she alone can save the world by exploring other universes. Besides, there’s this deep family element that exists within the multiverse (多重宇宙) story. It’s also a story about the entire nature of existence and what it means to age.
“Evelyn deserves her own voice,” Yeoh says. “She’s a very ordinary housewife, an immigrant mother who's trying her very best to survive.” Despite the fact that Evelyn’s experience is not actually (or at least not entirely) Michelle’s experience, there’s one point where they do intersect (相交). In many ways, both have been greatly underestimated. Evelyn has been underestimated by everyone around her, and even herself who sees only ordinariness in her identity as a middle-aged woman. Yeoh has been underestimated by the movie industry. “I have not been the first lead in a movie in Hollywood for a long, long time,” Yeoh says. The opportunity to take a leading role written for her felt like recognition: as a nearly 60-year-old Asian actress, she can still carry a film entirely on her own.
4. What does the author think of Everything Everywhere All at Once
A. It is an over -marketing film. B. It is commercially successful.
C. It doesn’t deserve its reputation. D. It leads to an intense debate online.
5. What can we learn about Evelyn Wang from the film introduction
A. She is able to travel back in time. B. She is ambitious as an immigrant.
C. She has a poor family relationship. D. She tries hard to escape from reality.
6. What similarities do Michelle Yeoh and Evelyn Wang have
A. They both struggle to survive. B. They have the same lifestyle.
C. They are both very independent. D. They have both been misjudged.
7. What theme might be explored by the film
A. Finding greatness in ordinary people. B. Taking a leading role in your career.
C. Never regretting your past experience. D. Keeping yourself alive in a different way.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《Everything Everywhere All at Once》这一部电影值得大家了解的一些信息。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When the film Everything Everywhere All at Once was released, it felt like its highly positive responses came out of nowhere. Reviews were posted, cinema screenings were sold out, and people were weeping online simply because it was that good.(当电影《Everything Everywhere All at Once》上映时，感觉它的高度积极反应不知从哪里冒出来。评论被贴出来了，影院放映场次被抢购一空，人们在网上哭泣，仅仅是因为它太好了。)”可知，电影《Everything Everywhere All at Once》的影院放映场次被抢购一空，因此从经济方面来说是成功的，故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Evelyn Wang (starring Michelle Yeoh) is a Chinese American woman who is between running her laundry business and dealing with the breakdown of her relationship with her marriage and her daughter.(主演Michelle Yeoh的Evelyn Wang，是一位华裔女性，她在经营自己的洗衣店和处理与婚姻和女儿的关系破裂之间挣扎。)”可知，Evelyn Wang家人之间的关系不好，故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Despite the fact that Evelyn’s experience is not actually (or at least not entirely) Michelle’s experience, there’s one point where they do intersect (相交). In many ways, both have been greatly underestimated.(尽管的Evelyn经历实际上与Michelle的经历不同，但有一点她们确实有交集。在许多方面，她们都被大大地低估了。)”可知，Michelle Yeoh和Evelyn Wang的共同点在于，她们都被低估了，故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In a word, it’s a story about an aging Chinese immigrant caught up in a crazy adventure, where she alone can save the world by exploring other universes. (总之，这是一个关于一个上了年纪的中国移民陷入疯狂冒险的故事。她独自一人可以通过探索其它宇宙来拯救世界。)”可推知，《Everything Everywhere All at Once》这部电影，以一位普通的家庭主妇通过探索其它宇宙来拯救世界的故事，主要表达即使是普通人，也能做出巨大贡献这一主题，在普通人身上也能发现伟大，故选A。
C
The giant African land snail (GALS) has returned to Florida for a third time. On June 23, 2022, Florida officials reported that the snails had been found in the New Port Richey area of Pasco County.
To stop the snails from spreading to other areas, officials have asked Pasco County residents not to move any soil or yard waste and to call a special hotline for any sightings. Specially-trained dogs have also been brought in to sniff out the snails. The areas where the snails have been found will be treated with a special pesticide for 18 months. Florida officials also intend to monitor the sites for two years after the last snail has been found.
Giant African land snails are one of the most destructive snails in the world. The fist-sized snails are native to East Africa. They consume over 500 plant and tree species. While they prefer to eat fruit and vegetables like beans, cucumbers and melons, the animals are not fussy (挑剔). They will eat ornamental plants, tree bark and even paint on houses! The animals also pose a serious health risk to humans by carrying the parasite (寄生). They multiply rapidly, producing about 1,200 eggs in a single year. This makes it challenging to control their population.
Greg Hodges, the assistant director of the state's division of plant industry, says the latest GALSs differ from' the ones previously found. They have light cream-colored bodies. “The populations that we coped with before had dark gray to brown bodies,” he explains. “This kind of cream-colored snails is very common in the pet trade in Europe.”
The officials are not sure how the snails got here this time. But Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried says, “Because agriculture is such a prominent part of our economics in the state, it is so imperative that we get in front of these things. Let me assure you: we will get rid of these snails. It is not a question of if; it’s just when.”
8. What have people in Pasco County been expected to do when they spot the GALSs ，
A. Clean up soil and waste. B. Call the hotline to report.
C. Use dogs to sniff out the snails. D. Spray pesticides to kill the snails.
9. What do we know about the GALSs
A. They grow naturally in Florida. B. They rely on a single food source.
C. They do not cause harm to humans. D. They have strong reproductive abilities.
10. How does Nikki Fried feel about getting rid of the GALSs
A. Confident. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Worried.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Florida’s Battle against The GALS Continues
B. Various Measures to Get Rid of The GALS
C. The Most Destructive Snail in the World
D. Great Threat to Florida’s Agriculture
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了佛罗里达州出现了巨型非洲陆地蜗牛，人们正在努力清除它们。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To stop the snails from spreading to other areas, officials have asked Pasco County residents not to move any soil or yard waste and to call a special hotline for any sightings.(为了阻止蜗牛蔓延到其他地区，官员们要求帕斯科郡的居民避免移动任何土壤或庭院垃圾，并要求人们向专门热线报告任何新发现)”可知，帕斯科郡的当地人在发现蜗牛时需要及时拨打热线报告情况。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They multiply rapidly, producing about 1,200 eggs in a single year. This makes it challenging to control their population.(它们繁殖迅速，一年能产1200个卵。这使得控制它们的数量变得具有挑战性)”可知，巨型非洲陆地蜗牛具有较强的繁殖能力。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Let me assure you: we will get rid of these snails. It is not a question of if; it’s just when.(我向你保证：我们会除掉这些蜗牛的。这不是一个如果的问题；只是时间的问题)”可推知，Nikki Fried很有信心除掉这些巨型非洲陆地蜗牛。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The giant African land snail (GALS) has returned to Florida for a third time.(巨型非洲陆地蜗牛已经第三次回到佛罗里达)”及第二段中的“To stop the snails from spreading to other areas, officials have asked Pasco County residents not to move any soil or yard waste and to call a special hotline for any sightings.(为了阻止蜗牛蔓延到其他地区，官员们要求帕斯科郡的居民避免移动任何土壤或庭院垃圾，并要求人们向专门热线报告任何新发现)”及最后一段中的“Let me assure you: we will get rid of these snails. It is not a question of if; it’s just when.(我向你保证：我们会除掉这些蜗牛的。这不是一个如果的问题；只是时间的问题)”可知，文章主要介绍了佛罗里达州出现了巨型非洲陆地蜗牛，人们正在努力清除它们。由此可知，Florida’s Battle against The GALS Continues(佛罗里达州与巨型非洲陆地蜗牛的斗争仍在继续)适合作本文标题。故选A。
D
AI, or artificial intelligence, has become increasingly popular in everyday life. Programmers code and “train” computers to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual recognition, artificial speech, and problem solving. AI algorithms (人工智能算法) work behind the scenes to customize ads and content online, and natural language processors interact and respond with users in a conversational manner. AI chatbots are now widely available and can be used for a variety of purposes .
One example of an AI that may help protect individuals is “Take It Down”, a program developed by Meta to help teenagers remove unauthorized photos from the internet. While there are concerns about AI programs collecting data and invading privacy, AI automation can save time and improve efficiency in many areas, including this task that would otherwise take hours to perform manually.
The current generation of AI chatbots still face limitations in fully simulating human emotions and attending to subtle variations of language cues in human conversations. The problems result from AI developers’ preference of language choices. They must continue to work on improving AI processing and linguistics for a more humanized approach.
AI may also change how we approach education and tutoring. AI tutoring programs and AI-assisted mental health services could provide 24/7 accessibility for students and personalized assessments for academic, behavioral, and mental health issues. However, concerns remain over the potential misuse of AI technology for cheating and plagiarism in academic settings.
Despite concerns about privacy and the sci-fi idea of AI robots taking over, AI will continue to open up new discoveries in all aspects of life. This technology carries both risks and benefits, but if used with care, it can bring positive developments while avoiding risks to livelihoods and privacy.
12. What is the main purpose of “Take It Down”
A. To perform tasks automatically. B. To protect individuals’ privacy.
C. To improve work efficiency. D. To collect personal information.
13. AI technology can do the following EXCEPT
A. providing mental health services. B. customizing ads and content online.
C. fully simulating human emotions. D. assessing academic achievements.
14. What does the underlined word “plagiarism” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Writing. B. Copying. C. Improving. D. Protecting.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of artificial intelligence
A. Neutral. B. Tolerant. C. Negative. D. Favorable.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能机器人在生活的各个方面的作用。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“One example of an AI that may help protect individuals is “Take It Down”, a program developed by Meta to help teenagers remove unauthorized photos from the internet.(可能有助于保护个人的人工智能的一个例子是“Take It Down”，这是Meta开发的一个程序，旨在帮助青少年从互联网上删除未经授权的照片。)”可知，“Take It Down”这个程序的作用是保护个人隐私。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The current generation of AI chatbots still face limitations in fully simulating human emotions and attending to subtle variations of language cues in human conversations.(当前一代的人工智能聊天机器人在完全模拟人类情感和关注人类对话中语言线索的微妙变化方面仍然面临局限性。)”可知 ，目前的人工智能聊天机器人并不能完全模拟人类情感。由此可知，选项C“fully simulating human emotions(完全模拟人类情感)”并不是目前的AI技术所能实现的。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“However, concerns remain over the potential misuse of AI technology for cheating(然而，人们仍然担心人工智能技术可能被滥用于作弊)”可推测，划线单词和and前的“cheating(作弊)”意思相似，指的都是学术环境中的抄袭行为。选项A“Writing (写)”；选项B“Copying (抄袭)”；选项C“Improving (提高)”；选项D“Protecting (保护)”。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Despite concerns about privacy and the sci-fi idea of AI robots taking over, AI will continue to open up new discoveries in all aspects of life. This technology carries both risks and benefits, but if used with care, it can bring positive developments while avoiding risks to livelihoods and privacy.(尽管对隐私和人工智能机器人接管科幻想法感到担忧，但人工智能将继续在生活的各个方面开辟新的发现。这项技术有利有弊，但如果谨慎使用，它可以带来积极的发展，同时避免对生计和隐私的风险。)”可推断，作者对于人工智能的普及抱有支持的态度。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选
项。
Unlike some other academic skills, the ability to write well is something that follows you from elementary school all throughout your life, particularly if you work in an office environment — so it’s no wonder there’s such an emphasis on it in school! Whether you’re still in school now, or want to refresh your skills as an adult, it’s never too late to improve your writing. ___16___
Read (a lot)!
This might be surprising, but the first step toward developing writing skills is not to write, but to read! ___17___ Reading a lot will also help you recognize what sounds good on paper and, in turn, will help you follow a similar model in your own writing. And it goes without saying that reading good writers will expose you to correct grammar and spelling, as well as a larger vocabulary.
Write everyday.
The old saying stands true: practice makes perfect. When you want to get better at something, there’s just no substitute for doing it, and doing it consistently. ___18___ You may not feel like you are developing writing skills from day to day, since progress can be very gradual, but trust us, you’re getting better with each day, week, and month of practice!
___19___
This tip is another one that might seem unexpected, but it is important. ___20___ When you read your writing out loud, you may notice if it’s choppy (不连贯的), incomplete, or repetitive — things you may not always notice when you’re busy typing or writing away.
A. The same goes for writing!
B. Read works of various writing styles.
C. Read your writing out loud to yourself.
D. Here are some key strategies to be carried out into your regular routine.
E. Some are born with natural writing talent and others need extra practice.
F. Writing that is good on paper should also sound good to the reader’s ears.
G. Reading classics will open your eyes and mind to examples of good writing.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. A 19. C 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些能够应用到日常生活中的提高写作水平的关键策略。

18题详解】
根据小标题“Write everyday.(每天写作。)”和前文“The old saying stands true: practice makes perfect. When you want to get better at something, there’s just no substitute for doing it, and doing it consistently.(俗话说得好：熟能生巧。当你想在某件事上做得更好时，没有什么可以代替去做，而且要坚持不懈地去做。)”可知，此处是讲对于写作来说坚持练习也非常重要，所以选项A“写作也是如此！”切合文意。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据后文“When you read your writing out loud, you may notice if it’s choppy (不连贯), incomplete, or repetitive — things you may not always notice when you’re busy typing or writing away.(当你大声朗读你写的东西时，你可能会注意到它是否断断续续、不完整或重复——当你忙于打字或写作时，你可能不会总是注意到这些。)”可知，此处是指通过大声朗读自己写的东西来发现是否有不恰当的地方，所以选项C“大声读你写的东西给自己听。”切合文意。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据前文“This tip is another one that might seem unexpected, but it is important.(这是另一个看起来出乎意料的技巧，但它很重要。)”和后文“When you read your writing out loud, you may notice if it’s choppy (不连贯的), incomplete, or repetitive — things you may not always notice when you’re busy typing or writing away.(当你大声朗读你写的东西时，你可能会注意到它是否断断续续、不完整或重复——当你忙于打字或写作时，你可能不会总是注意到这些。)”可知，此处是强调写作内容听起来很好也非常重要，所以选项F“写在纸上的好文章在读者的耳朵里也应该听起来很好。”切合文意。故选F。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。国际标准化组织（ISO）最近发布了一份中国专家的文件，将茶叶分为六种，这一分类将使消费者、世界茶商和政府通过其先进的技术，对不同类型的茶有一个清晰的了解，这对中国茶产业有重大的影响。文章对此进行了介绍。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：绿茶和红茶对很多人来说都很熟悉，但还有更多。be familiar to意为“为……所熟悉”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用介词to。故填to。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：国际标准化组织（ISO）最近发布了一份中国专家的文件，将茶叶分为六种。此处修饰动词released应用副词recently表示“最近”作状语。故填recently。
【43题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：根据安徽省合肥市安徽农业大学制定的新标准，基本的茶叶种类是红茶、绿茶、白茶、乌龙茶、黑茶和黄茶。动词establish意为“设立”，和系动词之间没有连词，和逻辑主语standard构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填established。
【44题详解】
考查现在完成时和主谓一致。句意：自2008年以来，万教授与来自其他国家的31位专家合作制定了新标准。根据“since 2008”可知，此处应用现在完成时。主语Wan为第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填has cooperated。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：万在新闻发布会上说，该标准已被广泛采用，但直到今年3月该文件发布后才成为国际标准。前文“It has been widely adopted”和后文“had not become an international standard until March”构成转折关系，且空格后没有逗号，所以应用连词but表示“但是”。故填but。
【46题详解】
考查冠词。句意：万在新闻发布会上说，该标准已被广泛采用，但直到今年3月该文件发布后才成为国际标准。conference意为“会议”，为可数名词，此处news conference为第一次出现，所以应用不定冠词表示泛指。news的开头发音为辅音音素，所以不定冠词应用a。故填a。
【47题详解】
考查动名词。句意：加工新鲜茶叶是茶叶生产中最重要的一步。动词process意为“加工”，此处作主语应用动名词形式。句首首字母应大写。故填Processing。
【48题详解】
考查可数名词的单复数。句意：ISO文件称，这六种茶可以进一步加工或再加工，制成花茶和速溶茶等产品。product意为“产品”，为可数名词，根据“such as scented tea (花茶) and instant tea”可知，此处应用复数形式。故填products。
【49题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：这一分类将使消费者、世界茶商和政府通过其先进的技术，对不同类型的茶有一个清晰的了解，这对中国茶产业有重大的影响。allow sb. to do意为“允许某人做某事”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用to do不定式作宾语补足语。故填to have。
【50题详解】
考查名词。句意：这一分类将使消费者、世界茶商和政府通过其先进的技术，对不同类型的茶有一个清晰的了解，这对中国茶产业有重大的影响。have an effect on对……有影响。在动词have后应用名词effect表示“影响”作宾语。故填effect。

Last week, I participated the School Art Festival. Our school band was invited to put on a performance at the open ceremony. As a member of the band, I practiced hard but made full preparations for it. Unfortunate, there was something wrong with our equipments before the show began. With the help of our music teacher, we deal with the problem successfully and completed the performance, that made us receive loud applause from the audience. After their performance, I watched other performances. I was impressed by the talents of my fellow students and had a great fun. I felt proud to be part of this Art Festival and grateful to have so wonderful classmates.
【答案】1. participated后加in
2. open→ opening
3. but→ and
4. Unfortunate→ Unfortunately
5. equipments→ equipment
6. deal→ dealt
7. that→ which
8. their→ our/my
9. 去掉a
10. so→ such
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加学校艺术节的经历。
【详解】1. 考查介词。句意：上周，我参加了学校的艺术节。固定搭配：participate in，意为“参加”。故在participated后加in。
2. 考查非谓语动词。 句意：我们学校的乐队应邀在开幕式上演出。固定搭配：the opening ceremony，意为“开幕式”。故将open改为opening。
3. 考查连词。句意：作为乐队的一员，我刻苦练习，做好了充分的准备。“practiced hard”和“made full preparations for it”为并列关系，没有转折关系。故将but改为and。
4. 考查副词。句意：不幸的是，在演出开始前，我们的设备出了点问题。修饰整个句子，担当句子的状语用副词形式，而不是形容词形式。故将Unfortunate改为Unfortunately。
5. 考查名词的数。句意：不幸的是，在演出开始前，我们的设备出了点问题。名词“equipment”为不可数名词。故将equipments改为equipment。
6. 考查时态。句意：在音乐老师的帮助下，我们成功地解决了这个问题，完成了演出，赢得了观众的热烈掌声。根据下文的completed可知，此处陈述过去事情，时态为一般过去时。故将deal改为dealt。
7. 考查定语从句。句意：在音乐老师的帮助下，我们成功地解决了这个问题，完成了演出，赢得了观众的热烈掌声。这里为非限制性定语从句的关系词，代指主句一句话，在非限制性定语从句中担当主语，用关系代词which引导。故将that改为which。
8. 考查代词。句意：我们/我的表演结束后，我看了其他的表演。根据上文内容可知，表演是由作者“我”以及其乐队成员一起完成，所以是“我们的”或“我的”表演，而不是“他们的”表演。故将their改为our或my。
9. 考查固定搭配。句意：同学们的才华给我留下了深刻的印象，我玩得很开心。固定搭配：have fun，意为“玩得开心”，fun为不可数名词。故将great前的a去掉。
10. 考查副词。句意：我很自豪能参加这次艺术节，也很感激有这么优秀的同学。搭配：such + adj.+名词的复数形式，意为“如此……的……”。故将so改为such。

A
The world is full of cheap vacation spots. Here are my favorite cheap places to travel to help you plan your next affordable adventure:
Thailand
Thailand is incredible. It’s also super. affordable. With a tourist trail going back decades, Thailand is the heart of backpacking in Southeast Asia, and you can get by on between $30-35 per day thanks to cheap guesthouses, budget street food (which can be found for as little as $1 !), local buses, and the many cheap and free attractions. However, even at the price, Thailand is still one of the most bargain-friendly destinations in the world and should not be skipped!
Cambodia
It’s affordable and beautiful and the locals are incredibly hospitable. You can get a private, air-conditioned room for $25, street food for S2-5 and transportation across the entire country for $20-25. If you are spending close to $50 per day, you are living large. Cambodia is cheaper than popular Thailand but just as beautiful and filled with some of the nicest people in the world. Plus, it’s home to the incredible Angkor Wat .
Portugal
It is a country with beautiful beaches, stunning seaside cliffs, delicious food, friendly locals, and historic cities all at bargain prices. Portugal has become a lot more popular and crowded in recent years and Lisbon has become especially expensive as people move there and drive up prices. It’s a great place after all! However, once you get outside of Lisbon, prices are still relatively cheap compared to the rest of Western Europe. Expect to get by on S45-60 per day if you’re a budget backpacker.
Georgia
Georgia has everything 1 need in a destination: it’s cheap has delicious food and wine, offers incredible hikes and mountain scenery without huge numbers of tourists. You can get by on next to nothing here too, with budget travelers spending as little as $25 per day. Beer is around $2, a week’s worth of groceries costs around $25-30, and most museums and historic sites cost just $2-3.
1. Which country is the best choice, if you have a tight budget
A. Thailand. B. Cambodia. C. Portugal. D. Georgia.
2. What can tourists do in Portugal according to the passage
A. Climb up the stunning mountain cliff. B. Purchase the cheapest things in Lisbon.
C. Visit beautiful beaches and historic cities. D. Enjoy delicious street food and wine.
3. Where can the text be found
A. In a history book. B. In a novel.
C. In a travel brochure. D. In an art magazine.
B
When the film Everything Everywhere All at Once was released, it felt like its highly positive responses came out of nowhere. Reviews were posted, cinema screenings were sold out, and people were weeping online simply because it was that good. It has swiftly become the Internet’s new favorite film. Below is something you need to know about this film.
Evelyn Wang (starring Michelle Yeoh) is a Chinese American woman who is between running her laundry business and dealing with the breakdown of her relationship with her marriage and her daughter. However, this is not just a film about the bonds of family; instead, Wang discovers a technology that can make her have access to alternate realities. To make the universe and all of is alternatives hang in the balance, Wang sets out to save them all.
In a word, it’s a story about an aging Chinese immigrant caught up in a crazy adventure, where she alone can save the world by exploring other universes. Besides, there’s this deep family element that exists within the multiverse (多重宇宙) story. It’s also a story about the entire nature of existence and what it means to age.
“Evelyn deserves her own voice,” Yeoh says. “She’s a very ordinary housewife, an immigrant mother who's trying her very best to survive.” Despite the fact that Evelyn’s experience is not actually (or at least not entirely) Michelle’s experience, there’s one point where they do intersect (相交). In many ways, both have been greatly underestimated. Evelyn has been underestimated by everyone around her, and even herself who sees only ordinariness in her identity as a middle-aged woman. Yeoh has been underestimated by the movie industry. “I have not been the first lead in a movie in Hollywood for a long, long time,” Yeoh says. The opportunity to take a leading role written for her felt like recognition: as a nearly 60-year-old Asian actress, she can still carry a film entirely on her own.
4. What does the author think of Everything Everywhere All at Once
A. It is an over -marketing film. B. It is commercially successful.
C. It doesn’t deserve its reputation. D. It leads to an intense debate online.
5. What can we learn about Evelyn Wang from the film introduction
A. She is able to travel back in time. B. She is ambitious as an immigrant.
C. She has a poor family relationship. D. She tries hard to escape from reality.
6. What similarities do Michelle Yeoh and Evelyn Wang have
A They both struggle to survive. B. They have the same lifestyle.
C. They are both very independent. D. They have both been misjudged.
7. What theme might be explored by the film
A. Finding greatness in ordinary people. B. Taking a leading role in your career.
C. Never regretting your past experience. D. Keeping yourself alive in a different way.
C
The giant African land snail (GALS) has returned to Florida for a third time. On June 23, 2022, Florida officials reported that the snails had been found in the New Port Richey area of Pasco County.
To stop the snails from spreading to other areas, officials have asked Pasco County residents not to move any soil or yard waste and to call a special hotline for any sightings. Specially-trained dogs have also been brought in to sniff out the snails. The areas where the snails have been found will be treated with a special pesticide for 18 months. Florida officials also intend to monitor the sites for two years after the last snail has been found.
Giant African land snails are one of the most destructive snails in the world. The fist-sized snails are native to East Africa. They consume over 500 plant and tree species. While they prefer to eat fruit and vegetables like beans, cucumbers and melons, the animals are not fussy (挑剔). They will eat ornamental plants, tree bark and even paint on houses! The animals also pose a serious health risk to humans by carrying the parasite (寄生). They multiply rapidly, producing about 1,200 eggs in a single year. This makes it challenging to control their population.
Greg Hodges, the assistant director of the state's division of plant industry, says the latest GALSs differ from' the ones previously found. They have light cream-colored bodies. “The populations that we coped with before had dark gray to brown bodies,” he explains. “This kind of cream-colored snails is very common in the pet trade in Europe.”

AI, or artificial intelligence, has become increasingly popular in everyday life. Programmers code and “train” computers to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual recognition, artificial speech, and problem solving. AI algorithms (人工智能算法) work behind the scenes to customize ads and content online, and natural language processors interact and respond with users in a conversational manner. AI chatbots are now widely available and can be used for a variety of purposes .
One example of an AI that may help protect individuals is “Take It Down”, a program developed by Meta to help teenagers remove unauthorized photos from the internet. While there are concerns about AI programs collecting data and invading privacy, AI automation can save time and improve efficiency in many areas, including this task that would otherwise take hours to perform manually.
The current generation of AI chatbots still face limitations in fully simulating human emotions and attending to subtle variations of language cues in human conversations. The problems result from AI developers’ preference of language choices. They must continue to work on improving AI processing and linguistics for a more humanized approach.
AI may also change how we approach education and tutoring. AI tutoring programs and AI-assisted mental health services could provide 24/7 accessibility for students and personalized assessments for academic, behavioral, and mental health issues. However, concerns remain over the potential misuse of AI technology for cheating and plagiarism in academic settings.
Despite concerns about privacy and the sci-fi idea of AI robots taking over, AI will continue to open up new discoveries in all aspects of life. This technology carries both risks and benefits, but if used with care, it can bring positive developments while avoiding risks to livelihoods and privacy.
12. What is the main purpose of “Take It Down”
A. To perform tasks automatically. B. To protect individuals’ privacy.
C. To improve work efficiency. D. To collect personal information.
13. AI technology can do the following EXCEPT
A. providing mental health services. B. customizing ads and content online.
C. fully simulating human emotions. D. assessing academic achievements.
14. What does the underlined word “plagiarism” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Writing. B. Copying. C. Improving. D. Protecting.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of artificial intelligence
A. Neutral. B. Tolerant. C. Negative. D. Favorable.

Unlike some other academic skills, the ability to write well is something that follows you from elementary school all throughout your life, particularly if you work in an office environment — so it’s no wonder there’s such an emphasis on it in school! Whether you’re still in school now, or want to refresh your skills as an adult, it’s never too late to improve your writing. ___16___
Read (a lot)!
This might be surprising, but the first step toward developing writing skills is not to write, but to read! ___17___ Reading a lot will also help you recognize what sounds good on paper and, in turn, will help you follow a similar model in your own writing. And it goes without saying that reading good writers will expose you to correct grammar and spelling, as well as a larger vocabulary.
Write everyday.
The old saying stands true: practice makes perfect. When you want to get better at something, there’s just no substitute for doing it, and doing it consistently. ___18___ You may not feel like you are developing writing skills from day to day, since progress can be very gradual, but trust us, you’re getting better with each day, week, and month of practice!
___19___
This tip is another one that might seem unexpected, but it is important. ___20___ When you read your writing out loud, you may notice if it’s choppy (不连贯的), incomplete, or repetitive — things you may not always notice when you’re busy typing or writing away.
A. The same goes for writing!
B. Read works of various writing styles.
C. Read your writing out loud to yourself.
D. Here are some key strategies to be carried out into your regular routine.
