Here are some books written by Joyce Grant.
Can You Believe It
Publisher: Kids Can Press
Published in 2022, it explores in depth how real journalism is made, what false news is, and most importantly, how to spot the difference. Young kids get most of their information online. This must-read guide helps them decide which information they can trust and which they can’t.
Tagged Out
Publisher: Lorimer Kids and Teens
Published in 2016 and full of kid-friendly information, it’s an excellent read, especially the description of the action. Reading it makes readers feel like they’re right there watching the game and feeling what the kids feel in success and in failure. Grant reflects the attitudes and behaviors of today’s young teens and makes each of her characters real.
Gabby: Drama Queen
Publisher: Fitzhenry & amp; Whiteside Publishing
It was published three years later than Tagged Out. Little kid Gabby and her friend Roy are setting up a stage for their play about “Queen Gabriella”. Gabby puts some letters together to create words that will turn into various props(道具). When they finally have everything they need, they’re ready to perform for their elderly neighbor.
Stiding Home
Publisher: Lorimer Kids and Teens
It came out in 2018. When young Miguel’s family becomes desperate, a solution comes from Miguel’s baseball teammate, who suggests a big baseball money-raising campaign. As the team learns about the hard realities some kids face and helps them wholeheartedly, Miguel learns to trust his teammates.

B
A woman held her phone tightly to her heart. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.
One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people, who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland”. Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28 ticket to be more reasonable than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk becoming unimportant.”
24. What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1
A. To get her phone. B. To escape the crowd.
C. To take a photo. D. To push ahead.
25. How did the de Young respond to the dilemma
A. By compromising with the government. B. By making the exhibition free of charge.
C. By setting periods without photo-taking. D. By extending the free exhibition hours.
26. What may the use of social media in museums bring about
A. Museum-owner’s lower profits. B. Exhibits’ damage to appearance.
C. Professionals’ lack of tolerance. D. Visitors’ distraction of real focus.
27. Which of the following may Linda Butler support
A. Catering to visitors. B. Reducing admission prices.
C. Reserving judgement in public. D. Banning social media and photography.
C
Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2024.
One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers’ concerns about running out of electricity on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.
Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers.
As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes.
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions (排放). If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.
What does the underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 probably means
A. Aim. B. Problem. C. Result. D. Step.
29. Why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars in the past
A. They were dependable. B. They were not widely promoted.
C. They were expensive. D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.
30. What is the function of Paragraph 4
A. To introduce the history of electric travel.
B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.
C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.
D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.
31. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Driving into a Cleaner Future B. History of Electric Cars
C. Problems with Petrol and Diesel Cars D. Best Means of Transportation
D
In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image. I am a fashionist（时尚主义者）too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.
What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.
Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
32. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.
B. The author agrees to overspend money on material things.
C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.
D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.
33. What do Leaf Van Boven’s studies show
A. People dislike those who love luxuries.
B. Traveling changes a person’s identity greatly.
C. Luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness.
D. Experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries.
34. What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself
A. Be selective about designer labels. B. Create your own personal unique style.
C. Choose simple and fashionable styles. D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
35. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life.
B. To tell how to express yourself through appearances.
C. To report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness.
D. To persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries.

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。
Here a few famous people may give you some helpful tips on how to choose the right books to read.
● Read books from past eras.
36 Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” just as Albert Einstein put it. “Somebody who reads only newspapers and books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who dislikes eyeglasses,” he said.
● 37
Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep you from forming a lasting impression. Seneca the Younger suggested that “you must linger（逗留） among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works rather than in larger quantities.”
● Shop at secondhand bookstores.
Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction. Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that traditional libraries can’t bring to you. 38
● Check out authors’ reading lists.
American philosopher Mortimer J. Adler talked about how to choose books. He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading. 39 “Trust their tastes.” said Mortimer.
● Make the final decision by yourself.
40 It’s you yourself who should choose what, how and when to read. Theodore Roosevelt
recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.
A. Interest is the best teacher.
B. Great authors are great readers.
C. Leave some room for older works.
D. Learn more about those great authors.
E. Don’t jump too quickly from book to book.
F. There’s no “best books” list that everyone should follow.
G. Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections.

书面表达
One possible version:
Good morning, everyone! I feel greatly privileged to be here to deliver a speech on the theme of saying no to phubbing. You may have noticed that wherever we go, there are always people constantly messaging, blogging, or surfing the Internet. They are referred to as “phubbers”.
However, phubbing disturbs not only our study but also our life. For one thing, precious time has been wasted on cell phones (, games and social media), resulting in unsatisfactory academic performance. For another, health problems, such as poor eyesight(, frozen shoulder and a sore neck,) can also be developed (if we always fix our eyes on the screens).
Therefore, it is high time that we threw away the mobile phone and raised our heads up. (To begin with, we should be aware of it so that we can actively get rid of it). (What’s more,) it’s a better choice to get involved in physical exercise (and real-life activities instead of staring at our phones).
In a nutshell, only when we use the mobile phone reasonably can we live a fulfilling life.
Thank you! （129+48=177）

M: Someone at work gave me a good tip. He said if you ask for seats at the back, sometimes there will be empty ones nearby, so you can have enough leg room. (9)
W: Oh, that’s a good idea. My legs always start to ache on these long flights. I get very bored as well.

Good morning. I am Bradley, assistant to the director James. (18) He is very busy at the moment preparing for the next scene, so if you have any questions, come to me rather than him. Trust me, I’m much more approachable. I believe for many of you this is the first time, so I’m going to give you a couple of tips and then explain what today’s plan is. For background actors, you want to make it look like you are talking and having a nice time, so smile. But, when you talk, you just have to move your lips. The microphones on set are very sensitive, so don’t actually speak, just mouth the words. (19) For this scene, several of you will be sitting at tables as if you were in a restaurant. A few more of you will be standing by the bar. We also need three actors to look like waiters, so you three — Jack, Luke, and David, can you go to the costume department to get fitted for waiter uniforms (20) The rest of you, let’s go to the make-up truck and get you all pretty.
阅读理解
Passage A
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些由Joyce Grant写的书。
21．细节理解题。根据Can You Believe It中的“Published in 2022, it explores in depth how real journalism is made, what false news is, and most importantly, how to spot the difference.(该书于2022年出版，深入探讨了真正的新闻是如何制作的，什么是假新闻，最重要的是，如何发现两者的区别。)”可知，《你能相信吗 》这本书主要讲的是新闻。故选A。
22．细节理解题。根据Can You Believe It中的“Published in 2022, it explores in depth how real journalism is made, what false news is, and most importantly, how to spot the difference.(该书于2022年出版，深入探讨了真正的新闻是如何制作的。)”, Tagged Out中的“Published in 2016 and full of kid-friendly information, it’s an excellent read, especially the description of the action . (这本书出版于2016年，充满了对孩子们友好的信息，是一本很好的读物，尤其是对动作的描述。)”, Gabby: Drama Queen中的“It was published three years later than Tagged Out. (它的出版时间比《Tagged Out》晚了三年。)”和Stiding Home中的“It came out in 2018. When young Miguel’s family becomes desperate, a solution comes from Miguel’s baseball teammate, who suggests a big baseball money-raising campaign. (它于2018年上映。当年轻的米格尔的家庭陷入绝望时，米格尔的棒球队友提出了一个解决方案，他建议举办一场大型的棒球筹款活动。)”可知，《Tagged Out》这本书是最先出版的。故选B。
23．推理判断题。根据Can You Believe It中的“Young kids get most of their information online. This must-read guide helps them decide which information they can trust and which they can’t. (小孩子的大部分信息都是在网上获得的。这个必读指南帮助他们决定哪些信息可以信任，哪些不能。)”, Tagged Out中的“Published in 2016 and full of kid-friendly information, it’s an excellent read, especially the description of the action. (这本书出版于2016年，充满了对孩子们友好的信息，是一本很好的读物，尤其是对的动作的描述。)”, Gabby: Drama Queen中的“Little kid Gabby and her friend Roy are setting up a stage for their play about “Queen Gabriella”. (小姑娘Gabby和她的朋友Roy正在为他们的戏剧“Queen Gabriella”搭建舞台。)”和Stiding Home中的“As the team learns about the hard realities some kids face and helps them wholeheartedly, Miguel learns to trust his teammates. (当团队了解到一些孩子所面临的艰难现实并全心全意地帮助他们时，Miguel 学会了信任他的队友。)”可推断，所列出的四本书是年幼的孩子看的。故选B。
Passage B
【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要介绍了南加州德扬博物馆最受欢迎的年度活动中，不让游客拍照引发的一些思考。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A woman held her phone tightly to her heart . She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same.(一个女人紧紧地把手机放在心口。她迫不及待地想给不远处的一束令人印象深刻的鲜花拍张照片，但首先她不得不穿过一群挤在一起的人群，去做同样的事情。)”可知，第一段中，这个女人想去拍照。故选C。
25. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.(因此，德扬作出了一种妥协：在为期六天的展览期间规定了“不能拍照”时间。)”可知，为了应对这种困境，德扬设置了不拍照的时间段。故选C。
26. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people, who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see.(有关社交媒体对博物馆文化影响的一个常见抱怨是：因为他们忙于收集这些经历的证据，人们似乎错过了一些经历。最近发表在《心理科学》杂志上的一项研究表明，这种说法是有一定道理的。研究发现，那些不断拍摄展览照片并将其发布到社交媒体上而不是简单地观察展览的人，很难记住他们看到的东西。)”可知，最近的研究发现，在博物馆中使用社交媒体会让参观者错过一些东西，他们很难记住他们看到的东西，所以在博物馆使用社交媒体可能会带来负面影响。A. Museum-owner’s lower profits. 博物馆主收益下降；B. Exhibits’ damage to appearance, 对展品外观的损耗。C. Professionals’ lack of tolerance. 文章虽然提到了专业人士，但并没有提到其容忍度。D. Visitors’ distraction of real focus. 游客真实专注点的转移——仅仅拍照。故选D。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland”. Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28 ticket to be more reasonable than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk becoming unimportant.”(德扬博物馆的市场营销和游客体验主管琳达·巴特勒(Linda Butler)承认，并不是每个人都希望博物馆成为“拍照的乐园”。然而，很多人都希望如此。她认为，德扬博物馆没有资格评判购买28美元门票的一个理由是否比另一个更合理。“如果我们删除社交媒体和摄影，”她说。“我们可能会变得无足轻重。”)”可知，琳达·巴特勒认为博物馆没有资格评判购票者购票的理由，同时她认为社交媒体对于博物馆来说很重要，由此可推知，琳达·巴特勒支持“要迎合游客”的观点，故选A。
Passage C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了汽油和柴油汽车虽然仍然主宰着我们的道路，但很快会被电动车辆所替代。电动汽车不产生任何排放物，随着在陆路方面的进步，电动汽车正朝着海洋和天空方向发展，而未来的车辆一定是电动时代。
28. 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety”—drivers’ concerns about running out of juice on a journey. (电动汽车被广泛采用的一个hurdle是“里程焦虑”——驾驶者担心在旅途中电量耗尽)”可知，“驾驶员担心在旅途中耗尽电能”是电动汽车的缺点，这是电动汽车普及的一个“问题”。由此可知，hurdle与problem意思一致。故选B。
29. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Not that long ago, electric cars met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. (不久前，电动汽车遭遇了不信任，高昂的价格让消费者望而却步)”可知，过去很多人拒绝购买电动汽车是因为人们认为电动车太贵了不值得买。故选C。
30. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes. (除了在道路上的进步，电动汽车也正在走向海洋和天空。电动船是最古老的电动交通工具之一，从19世纪末到20世纪初，在汽油动力的舷外发动机接管之前，电动船已经流行了几十年。现在，全球对可再生能源的推动正在使电动船回归。电动飞机的发展也在取得进展，空客和美国国家航空航天局都在开发和测试电池驱动的飞机)”可知，电动交通工具以不同的方式出现在陆路，海上及空中。由此推知，第四段的作用是描述电动交通工具的不同的用途。故选D。
31. 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel(柴油)cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2020. (汽油和柴油车可能仍然主宰着我们的道路，但它们的日子屈指可数了。一项最近的大学研究发现，目前美国87%的日常汽车出行可以使用电动汽车。到2020年，这一数字可能上升到98%。)”和第四段中的“As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies.(除了在公路上的发展，电动汽车正在走向海洋和天空。)”和其它内容可知，汽油和柴油交通工具可能仍然主宰着我们的道路，但很快会被电动交通工具所替代，而未来的交通工具一定是更清洁的电动时代。由此可知，A项“驶入更清洁的未来”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。
Passage D

32. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.(我也是一个时尚主义者，至少在精神上是这样的——我喜欢看衣服和鞋子。但是我不明白为什么人们要在设计师品牌上花那么多钱。当一个年轻女性买了一个价值两个月工资的手提包时，这是一件可怕的事情。)”可推知，作者批评年轻人花很多钱来买设计师品牌，以此来打扮自己的行为。故选C。
33. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. (事实上，美国科罗拉多大学博尔德分校 Leaf Van Boven 的一系列研究表明，在旅行和类似经历上花钱的人比那些把钱花在物质上的人获得更多的快乐。)”可知，Leaf Van Boven的研究表明，与奢侈品相比，经历能给人们带来更多的幸福，故选D。
34. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. (通过外表来表达自己是很自然的。所以我的建议是：创造一个不依赖于设计师标签的外观。传达你自己的信息。)”可知，作者建议人们不要通过设计师标签来表达自己，由此可推知，作者建议人们要创造你自己独特的风格来表达自己。故选B。
35. 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.(你不必为了表明自己的身份而破产。去旅行吧。去外面的世界。然后回来，自信地创建自己的签名外观。)”可推知，作者的写作目的是：说服读者将钱投资在丰富自身经历上而不是奢侈品上，故选D。

38．根据本段小标题“Shop at secondhand bookstores.(在二手书店购物。)”以及空前“Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction which the usual volumes of the library lack.

A woman held her phone tightly to her heart. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.
One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people, who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland”. Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28 ticket to be more reasonable than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk becoming unimportant.”
24. What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1
A. To get her phone. B. To escape the crowd.
C. To take a photo. D. To push ahead.
25. How did the de Young respond to the dilemma
A. By compromising with the government. B. By making the exhibition free of charge.
C. By setting periods without photo-taking. D. By extending the free exhibition hours.

Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2024.
One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers’ concerns about running out of electricity on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.
Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers.
As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes.
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions (排放). If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.
What does the underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 probably means
A. Aim. B. Problem. C. Result. D. Step.
29. Why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars in the past
A. They were dependable. B. They were not widely promoted.
C. They were expensive. D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.
30. What is the function of Paragraph 4
A. To introduce the history of electric travel.
B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.
C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.
D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.
31. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Driving into a Cleaner Future B. History of Electric Cars
C. Problems with Petrol and Diesel Cars D. Best Means of Transportation
D
In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image. I am a fashionist（时尚主义者）too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.
What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.
Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
32. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.
B. The author agrees to overspend money on material things.
C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.
D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.
33. What do Leaf Van Boven’s studies show
A. People dislike those who love luxuries.
B. Traveling changes a person’s identity greatly.
C. Luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness.
D. Experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries.
34. What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself
A. Be selective about designer labels. B. Create your own personal unique style.
C. Choose simple and fashionable styles. D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
35. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life.
B. To tell how to express yourself through appearances.
C. To report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness.
D. To persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries.

Here a few famous people may give you some helpful tips on how to choose the right books to read.
● Read books from past eras.
36 Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” just as Albert Einstein put it. “Somebody who reads only newspapers and books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who dislikes eyeglasses,” he said.
● 37
Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep you from forming a lasting impression. Seneca the Younger suggested that “you must linger（逗留） among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works rather than in larger quantities.”
● Shop at secondhand bookstores.
Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction. Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that traditional libraries can’t bring to you. 38
● Check out authors’ reading lists.
American philosopher Mortimer J. Adler talked about how to choose books. He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading. 39 “Trust their tastes.” said Mortimer.
● Make the final decision by yourself.
40 It’s you yourself who should choose what, how and when to read. Theodore Roosevelt
recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.
A. Interest is the best teacher.
B. Great authors are great readers.
C. Leave some room for older works.
D. Learn more about those great authors.
E. Don’t jump too quickly from book to book.
F. There’s no “best books” list that everyone should follow.
G. Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections.

书面表达
One possible version:
Good morning, everyone! I feel greatly privileged to be here to deliver a speech on the theme of saying no to phubbing. You may have noticed that wherever we go, there are always people constantly messaging, blogging, or surfing the Internet. They are referred to as “phubbers”.
However, phubbing disturbs not only our study but also our life. For one thing, precious time has been wasted on cell phones (, games and social media), resulting in unsatisfactory academic performance. For another, health problems, such as poor eyesight(, frozen shoulder and a sore neck,) can also be developed (if we always fix our eyes on the screens).
Therefore, it is high time that we threw away the mobile phone and raised our heads up. (To begin with, we should be aware of it so that we can actively get rid of it). (What’s more,) it’s a better choice to get involved in physical exercise (and real-life activities instead of staring at our phones).
In a nutshell, only when we use the mobile phone reasonably can we live a fulfilling life.
Thank you! （129+48=177）

Good morning. I am Bradley, assistant to the director James. (18) He is very busy at the moment preparing for the next scene, so if you have any questions, come to me rather than him. Trust me, I’m much more approachable. I believe for many of you this is the first time, so I’m going to give you a couple of tips and then explain what today’s plan is. For background actors, you want to make it look like you are talking and having a nice time, so smile. But, when you talk, you just have to move your lips. The microphones on set are very sensitive, so don’t actually speak, just mouth the words. (19) For this scene, several of you will be sitting at tables as if you were in a restaurant. A few more of you will be standing by the bar. We also need three actors to look like waiters, so you three — Jack, Luke, and David, can you go to the costume department to get fitted for waiter uniforms (20) The rest of you, let’s go to the make-up truck and get you all pretty.

Passage A
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些由Joyce Grant写的书。
21．细节理解题。根据Can You Believe It中的“Published in 2022, it explores in depth how real journalism is made, what false news is, and most importantly, how to spot the difference.(该书于2022年出版，深入探讨了真正的新闻是如何制作的，什么是假新闻，最重要的是，如何发现两者的区别。)”可知，《你能相信吗 》这本书主要讲的是新闻。故选A。
22．细节理解题。根据Can You Believe It中的“Published in 2022, it explores in depth how real journalism is made, what false news is, and most importantly, how to spot the difference.(该书于2022年出版，深入探讨了真正的新闻是如何制作的。)”, Tagged Out中的“Published in 2016 and full of kid-friendly information, it’s an excellent read, especially the description of the action . (这本书出版于2016年，充满了对孩子们友好的信息，是一本很好的读物，尤其是对动作的描述。)”, Gabby: Drama Queen中的“It was published three years later than Tagged Out. (它的出版时间比《Tagged Out》晚了三年。)”和Stiding Home中的“It came out in 2018. When young Miguel’s family becomes desperate, a solution comes from Miguel’s baseball teammate, who suggests a big baseball money-raising campaign. (它于2018年上映。当年轻的米格尔的家庭陷入绝望时，米格尔的棒球队友提出了一个解决方案，他建议举办一场大型的棒球筹款活动。)”可知，《Tagged Out》这本书是最先出版的。故选B。
23．推理判断题。根据Can You Believe It中的“Young kids get most of their information online. This must-read guide helps them decide which information they can trust and which they can’t. (小孩子的大部分信息都是在网上获得的。这个必读指南帮助他们决定哪些信息可以信任，哪些不能。)”, Tagged Out中的“Published in 2016 and full of kid-friendly information, it’s an excellent read, especially the description of the action. (这本书出版于2016年，充满了对孩子们友好的信息，是一本很好的读物，尤其是对的动作的描述。)”, Gabby: Drama Queen中的“Little kid Gabby and her friend Roy are setting up a stage for their play about “Queen Gabriella”.

(当团队了解到一些孩子所面临的艰难现实并全心全意地帮助他们时，Miguel 学会了信任他的队友。)”可推断，所列出的四本书是年幼的孩子看的。故选B。
Passage B
【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要介绍了南加州德扬博物馆最受欢迎的年度活动中，不让游客拍照引发的一些思考。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A woman held her phone tightly to her heart . She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same.(一个女人紧紧地把手机放在心口。她迫不及待地想给不远处的一束令人印象深刻的鲜花拍张照片，但首先她不得不穿过一群挤在一起的人群，去做同样的事情。)”可知，第一段中，这个女人想去拍照。故选C。
25. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.(因此，德扬作出了一种妥协：在为期六天的展览期间规定了“不能拍照”时间。)”可知，为了应对这种困境，德扬设置了不拍照的时间段。故选C。
26. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people, who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see.(有关社交媒体对博物馆文化影响的一个常见抱怨是：因为他们忙于收集这些经历的证据，人们似乎错过了一些经历。最近发表在《心理科学》杂志上的一项研究表明，这种说法是有一定道理的。研究发现，那些不断拍摄展览照片并将其发布到社交媒体上而不是简单地观察展览的人，很难记住他们看到的东西。)”可知，最近的研究发现，在博物馆中使用社交媒体会让参观者错过一些东西，他们很难记住他们看到的东西，所以在博物馆使用社交媒体可能会带来负面影响。A. Museum-owner’s lower profits. 博物馆主收益下降；B. Exhibits’ damage to appearance, 对展品外观的损耗。C. Professionals’ lack of tolerance. 文章虽然提到了专业人士，但并没有提到其容忍度。D. Visitors’ distraction of real focus. 游客真实专注点的转移——仅仅拍照。故选D。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland”. Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28 ticket to be more reasonable than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk becoming unimportant.”(德扬博物馆的市场营销和游客体验主管琳达·巴特勒(Linda Butler)承认，并不是每个人都希望博物馆成为“拍照的乐园”。然而，很多人都希望如此。她认为，德扬博物馆没有资格评判购买28美元门票的一个理由是否比另一个更合理。“如果我们删除社交媒体和摄影，”她说。“我们可能会变得无足轻重。”)”可知，琳达·巴特勒认为博物馆没有资格评判购票者购票的理由，同时她认为社交媒体对于博物馆来说很重要，由此可推知，琳达·巴特勒支持“要迎合游客”的观点，故选A。
Passage C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了汽油和柴油汽车虽然仍然主宰着我们的道路，但很快会被电动车辆所替代。电动汽车不产生任何排放物，随着在陆路方面的进步，电动汽车正朝着海洋和天空方向发展，而未来的车辆一定是电动时代。
28. 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety”—drivers’ concerns about running out of juice on a journey. (电动汽车被广泛采用的一个hurdle是“里程焦虑”——驾驶者担心在旅途中电量耗尽)”可知，“驾驶员担心在旅途中耗尽电能”是电动汽车的缺点，这是电动汽车普及的一个“问题”。由此可知，hurdle与problem意思一致。故选B。
29. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Not that long ago, electric cars met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. (不久前，电动汽车遭遇了不信任，高昂的价格让消费者望而却步)”可知，过去很多人拒绝购买电动汽车是因为人们认为电动车太贵了不值得买。故选C。
30. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes. (除了在道路上的进步，电动汽车也正在走向海洋和天空。电动船是最古老的电动交通工具之一，从19世纪末到20世纪初，在汽油动力的舷外发动机接管之前，电动船已经流行了几十年。现在，全球对可再生能源的推动正在使电动船回归。电动飞机的发展也在取得进展，空客和美国国家航空航天局都在开发和测试电池驱动的飞机)”可知，电动交通工具以不同的方式出现在陆路，海上及空中。由此推知，第四段的作用是描述电动交通工具的不同的用途。故选D。
31. 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel(柴油)cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2020. (汽油和柴油车可能仍然主宰着我们的道路，但它们的日子屈指可数了。一项最近的大学研究发现，目前美国87%的日常汽车出行可以使用电动汽车。到2020年，这一数字可能上升到98%。)”和第四段中的“As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies.(除了在公路上的发展，电动汽车正在走向海洋和天空。)”和其它内容可知，汽油和柴油交通工具可能仍然主宰着我们的道路，但很快会被电动交通工具所替代，而未来的交通工具一定是更清洁的电动时代。由此可知，A项“驶入更清洁的未来”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。
