A篇
Motoring writer, Simon Heptinstall once said that the most interesting thing about cars isn't the car at all. Is it true that the motorists make better stories than their motors Here are 3 stories to help make your own decision.
Henry Ford built the Quadricycle
In 1896, the great inventive engineer Henry Ford finished building his first car, called the Quadricycle, in a small shed behind his house. He became one of the world's most successful businessmen later--but this time he had badly miscalculated. The completed Quadricycle wouldn't fit out through the door. He'd built it bigger than the width of the door. Henry had to use an axe to chop out the doorframe to make the opening wider. Then he could ultimately get his pioneering creation out for its first drive. It is now an exhibit in Henry Ford Museum.
Noel Gallagher forgot buying a car
Millionaire rock star Noel Gallagher forgot he'd bought a brand-new classic car for 110,000. The former guitarist was puzzled when a Jaguar Mark Il arrived at his house on a delivery truck. It turned out he had ordered it two years previously. At the time he ordered it he had hoped to learn to drive--but never got round it. He forgot the whole thing, and the car still sits unused in his garage.
Maria Mugno made her car hairy
According to the Guinness Book of Records, the world’s hairiest car is a Fiat 50 owned by Maria Mugno of Salerno in Italy. The Italian hairdresser has spent hundreds of hours importing bags of human hair from India, because she claims the hair is stronger. She then sticks the locks onto every surface of the car, inside and out. Her furry Fiat is still road-illegal however.
( )1. What is the most interesting thing about cars according to Simon
A. The drivers.
B. The price.
C. The speed.
D. The appearance.
( )2. What do the three cars have in common
A. They are Guinness record holders.
B. They are invented by their owners.
C. They are not permitted to go on road.
D. They are not in use for certain reasons.
( )3. Where is this text probably taken from

B篇
At the United Nations COP27 climate conference in Egypt, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres claimed that the world is on a “highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator(油门)”. To keep temperature from rising 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels by 2100, we need to pull a stop on greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, we'd basically have to bring the runaway truck to a complete and immediate stop. Now is the time for us to pull back before it is too late.
The climate pledges(承诺) made by nations at last year's COP26 conference felt like a positive step in the right direction, but there’s very little doubt that the average temperature rise on the Earth will pass the 1.5-degree mark in the coming decades. Can we limit this overshoot And how might we do that
A study, released Thursday in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change, tried to answer those questions by modeling 27 different emissions reduction pathways of varying ambition. It came to an unsurprising conclusion: Countries need to act by increasing the ambition of their climate pledges. And they need to act now.
The 1.5-degree rise has long been seen as a critical mark in the fight against climate change. Since the signing of the Paris Agreement at COP21 seven years ago, scientists have studied how this level of warming above preindustrial temperatures would affect the Earth. The models they’ve built show we are likely to see more extreme weather events, in addition to glacial melt, sea level rise that threatens many low-lying Pacific nations and significant loss of biodiversity once temperatures push past an increase of 1.5 degrees.
Though the 1.5-degree target is practically dead, the situation isn’t hopeless. Now more than ever, there's reason to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by setting more ambitious goals. However, ambition alone is not enough. We also need action-investing in renewables and technologies like carbon capture and rapidly transforming our energy systems.
( )4. What did Antonio Guterres try to do in the first paragraph
A. Make a request.
B. Issue a warning.
C. Provide a solution.
D. Offer a suggestion.
( )5. What was the conclusion of the study released in Nature Climate Change
A. What's done cannot be undone.
B. Setting a goal is what matters.
C. Action speaks louder than words.
D. Failing to plan is planning to fail.
( )6. What's the purpose of the models the scientists have built
A. To show the consequences of rising temperatures.
B. To predict the problems with extreme weather events.
C. To find the solutions to controlling global warning.
D. To tell the importance of protecting the environment.
( )7. How does the author end the text
A. By sharing confidence and inspiring.
B. By expressing concern and criticizing.
C. By voicing doubts and making complaints.
D. By spreading hope and appealing for action.
C篇
When Stephen Sondheim died on Nov. 26, 2021, at age 91, I didn't show an inclination to watch his Broadway musicals. Something in me instead wanted to see Al Hirschfeld’s drawings of Sondheim's shows and characters over the decades.
As a boy growing up in the Boston suburbs in the 1970s, Hirschfeld’s images were my first ticket to Broadway, transported by their publication in The Times's Arts &Leisure section. And they were also how I formed an early bond with my parents, one that stood over time and even into their years with Alzheimer's(阿尔茨海默症).
“Oklahoma!" was the first musical my parent took me to, in Boston, when I was six.
Around that time, I asked them why we got The Times when we didn’t live in New York. They said they still considered themselves New Yorkers and they loved Arts & Leisure and Hirschfeld’s drawings about theater. His drawings were like a lifeline for my parents to New York City over the decades, and they helped open the door for me to Sondheim.
This is how:
I made my way to New York in 1989, as a freshman at N. Y. U., where I met a dormmate who looked like Hirschfeld's drawing of little Red Riding Hood from Sondheim’s "Into that Woods". Her name was Daniclle Ferland. I told my parents about this Hirschfeld-in-the-flesh excitedly by phone. Danielle and other friends introduced me to Sondheim's music which evoke(唤起) my memories of Hirschfeld's drawings.
As my parents grew older, it was harder to take them to see shows with me. But in my years as the theater reporter at The Times, they would ask what I was seeing in New York and were happy to hear about Angela Lansbury performing in a 2009 revival(重演) of Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music”. They remembered her characteristic eyes from Hirschfeld’s drawings.
( )8. What does the underlined part “an inclination" in Paragraph 1 mean
A. An ability.
B. A tendency.
C. An opportunity.
D. A responsibility.
( )9. What do Hirschfeld's drawings mean to the author
A. A difficult childhood.
B. A chance to work for Broadway.
C. A cure for a disease in his later years.
D. An inseparable life with his parents.
( )10.What introduced to the author Sondheim’s music
A. Stories publicized in The Times.
B. The musical his parents took him to.
C. A course he signed up for at university.
D. Recommendations made by his friends.
( )11. What did the author's parents still remember about “A Little Night Music"
A. The time of its first staging.
B. The excitement it had caused.
C. The drawings of its performer.
D. The performance on Broadway.
D篇
Fatherhood is seen as dispensable. People freely and frequently undermine(削弱) a dad’s role in child-rearing by assuming that he can't possibly be in charge of a baby on his own or by suggesting that he is such a great dad because he spent ten minutes rocking his own child to sleep. What a hero--doing something that he shouldn't have to do because, if we're all honest, it's a mum's job.
Stories of fathers in the media tend to focus on their absence. Until relatively recently, fathers were either missing, played a very specific and distant role of breadwinner, or were poor idiots incapable of using a washing machine. We're programmed to believe that fathers don’t possess the ‘nurturing gene’ and that this should be the sole responsibility of the mother. The thing is, that is bullshit. Like mothers, fathers have been shaped by evolution to be biologically, psychologically and behaviorally primed to parent. The hormonal and brain changes seen in new mothers are mirrored in fathers. Their ability to parent is not based on biology; it is based on how much time they spend with their children.
Nonetheless, no matter how hard couples try to rebalance the caring duties, we continue to bang our heads against a gendered wall. Our heads-and the heads of almost everyone around us-are filled with nonsense by advertisers and the media who love nothing more than creating a “gender war" out of everything. So even though it's 2023 and science is telling us the complete opposite, the narrative remains that women are better and more "natural" carers, that they're the only ones who can multi-task, men don’t really care about children and are dangerous around them-and so on.
All of this can be hard to solve when you realize that the only way you can make ends meet is for the mother to stay off work or go down to part-time when the baby arrives, and for the dad to stay full-time with a killer commute. And of course it's true that some of us end up internalizing all of this and start to believe the gender stereotypes(刻板印象).
( )12. The underlined word “dispensable’" means“_________”.
A. determining and profound
B. incompetent and punishing
C. not necessary or essential
D. not attractive or appealing
( )l3. Which of the following statements will the author agree with
A. A father who spends ten minutes rocking his kid to sleep should be regarded as a hero.
B. Women’s better parenting abilities are mainly predetermined by their biological features.
C. The more time a father spends with his kids, the better he will be at looking after them.
D. Women are the only ones who can keep the balance between their work and career.
( )14. What is the author's attitude towards the current distribution of parenting duties
A. Favourable.
B. Uninterested.
C. Prejudiced.
D. Dissatisfied.
( )15. What might be the best title for the text
A. Desperate Housewives
B. The Absence of Fatherhood
C. Happy Wife, Happy Life
D. The Manhood Crisis

What is a Food Critic
A food critic is a writer who specializes in writing criticisms of food. Like theater and movie critics, food critics are supposed to provide thoughtful, well-informed, and objective information to the public so that members of the public can make decisions about where to spend their money. 16 However, some may also engage in more general food writing.
Becoming a food critic takes time. Many food critics pursue professional experiences in the world of food, attending culinary schools, working in restaurants, participating in farming, and so forth. 17 A good food critic is extremely knowledgeable about food, from how certain foods are harvested to the history of various dishes. Food critics also have very well-developed palates, and they may specialize in a particular area.
l8 Food critics may move between publishers over the course of their careers, or start working for the food section of a paper and working up to a position as a food critic. A handful of critics become well known and well respected, with most primarily being known only in the area they serve.
Professional integrity is very important for food critics. Many make reservations and visit restaurants anonymously(匿名地), so that they get an idea of how a restaurant serves ordinary customers. They also make repeat visits so that they can make fair and balanced assessments of a restaurant and its offerings. 19 Implications of favoritism or bribery(贿赂)can ruin the reputation of a food critic.
This is what food critics are like. They describe and evaluate the food, providing opinions on its quality. 20 These can be used as a reference for readers to make decisions.
A. Food critics have the right to score the restaurant. B. It's important for them to be familiar with varieties of food. C. Avoidance of gifts from restaurateurs is also very important. D. Therefore, they can learn about every aspect of the food industry E. After considering all aspects of the dining experience, they generate ratings. F. Food critics primarily write about restaurants from fast food establishments to fancy restaurants. G. Once a food critic has gained experience, he or she can start writing articles for magazines and newspapers.

There were once two rabbits，Wanda the Wise and Frederick the Foolish, who were walking through a field. They were good friends and enjoyed their wander together.
On this walk, they came upon two carrots. One of the carrots had large leaves coming out of the top and the other looked much smaller from the surface. Frederick was excited and ran up to the carrot with larger leaves. “I’ll have this one,” he proudly exclaimed(叫 喊) and proceeded to pull it out from the ground. Wanda shrugged(耸肩) her shoulders and pulled out the other carrot, which turned out to be much bigger. Frederick was surprised and asked how this could possibly be. Wanda looked at her friend and replied, “You can't always judge a carrot by its leaves.”
They kept on walking and came across another pair of carrots, again with different sized leaves. This time Frederick allowed his friend the first pick. Wanda hopped(跳跃) to each carrot, inspected and smelled them carefully and, to Frederick’s surprise, chose the carrot with larger leaves.
As they each pulled their carrots out from the ground, Frederick was confused to see that his carrot was still smaller than Wanda’s.
“You said that carrots with larger leaves are not always larger, so I thought carrots with smaller leaves meant larger ones," he said.
“No," replied Wanda. "I said don’t judge a carrot by its leaves. It’s also important to remember to think before you choose."
Frederick nodded and they ate their carrots before continuing their wander
For a third time, they found two carrots, again with different sized leaves. Frederick looked confused and didn’t know what to do. Wanda indicated that he could choose which carrot to eat.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Frederick, the poor foolish rabbit, didn't really know what to do. He pretended to inspect and smell them carefully, just as Wanda did, but in vain. He was about to pull the carrot with bigger leaves when he was torn inside. What if the other carrot was bigger He was at a loss and didn’t know which carrot was bigger. “My best friend, please help me!" So eager was Frederick to eat the bigger carrot that he stamped his feet, sweating on his head.
Paragraph 2:
Wanda smiled warmly, hopped over to the bigger carrot and pulled it out for his friend. Frederick looked at Wanda with a look of disbelief on his face. "Frederick, there's no point in having wisdom if you’re not willing to share the benefits of it with others. You're my friend and I want you to have this carrot. A smart rabbit with a full stomach but no friends isn't really wise, is she " said Wanda. Frederick hung his head in shame at the thought of Wanda's generosity. It dawned on him that the possession of friendship made his day.

D篇
Fatherhood is seen as dispensable. People freely and frequently undermine(削弱) a dad’s role in child-rearing by assuming that he can't possibly be in charge of a baby on his own or by suggesting that he is such a great dad because he spent ten minutes rocking his own child to sleep. What a hero--doing something that he shouldn't have to do because, if we're all honest, it's a mum's job.
Stories of fathers in the media tend to focus on their absence. Until relatively recently, fathers were either missing, played a very specific and distant role of breadwinner, or were poor idiots incapable of using a washing machine. We're programmed to believe that fathers don’t possess the ‘nurturing gene’ and that this should be the sole responsibility of the mother. The thing is, that is bullshit. Like mothers, fathers have been shaped by evolution to be biologically, psychologically and behaviorally primed to parent. The hormonal and brain changes seen in new mothers are mirrored in fathers. Their ability to parent is not based on biology; it is based on how much time they spend with their children.
Nonetheless, no matter how hard couples try to rebalance the caring duties, we continue to bang our heads against a gendered wall. Our heads-and the heads of almost everyone around us-are filled with nonsense by advertisers and the media who love nothing more than creating a “gender war" out of everything. So even though it's 2023 and science is telling us the complete opposite, the narrative remains that women are better and more "natural" carers, that they're the only ones who can multi-task, men don’t really care about children and are dangerous around them-and so on.
All of this can be hard to solve when you realize that the only way you can make ends meet is for the mother to stay off work or go down to part-time when the baby arrives, and for the dad to stay full-time with a killer commute. And of course it's true that some of us end up internalizing all of this and start to believe the gender stereotypes(刻板印象).
( )12. The underlined word “dispensable’" means“_________”.
A. determining and profound
B. incompetent and punishing
C. not necessary or essential
D. not attractive or appealing
( )l3. Which of the following statements will the author agree with
A. A father who spends ten minutes rocking his kid to sleep should be regarded as a hero.
B. Women’s better parenting abilities are mainly predetermined by their biological features.
C. The more time a father spends with his kids, the better he will be at looking after them.
D. Women are the only ones who can keep the balance between their work and career.
( )14. What is the author's attitude towards the current distribution of parenting duties
A. Favourable.
B. Uninterested.
C. Prejudiced.
D. Dissatisfied.
( )15. What might be the best title for the text
A. Desperate Housewives
B. The Absence of Fatherhood
C. Happy Wife, Happy Life
D. The Manhood Crisis

What is a Food Critic
A food critic is a writer who specializes in writing criticisms of food. Like theater and movie critics, food critics are supposed to provide thoughtful, well-informed, and objective information to the public so that members of the public can make decisions about where to spend their money. 16 However, some may also engage in more general food writing.
Becoming a food critic takes time. Many food critics pursue professional experiences in the world of food, attending culinary schools, working in restaurants, participating in farming, and so forth. 17 A good food critic is extremely knowledgeable about food, from how certain foods are harvested to the history of various dishes. Food critics also have very well-developed palates, and they may specialize in a particular area.
l8 Food critics may move between publishers over the course of their careers, or start working for the food section of a paper and working up to a position as a food critic. A handful of critics become well known and well respected, with most primarily being known only in the area they serve.
Professional integrity is very important for food critics. Many make reservations and visit restaurants anonymously(匿名地), so that they get an idea of how a restaurant serves ordinary customers. They also make repeat visits so that they can make fair and balanced assessments of a restaurant and its offerings. 19 Implications of favoritism or bribery(贿赂)can ruin the reputation of a food critic.
This is what food critics are like. They describe and evaluate the food, providing opinions on its quality. 20 These can be used as a reference for readers to make decisions.
A. Food critics have the right to score the restaurant. B. It's important for them to be familiar with varieties of food. C. Avoidance of gifts from restaurateurs is also very important. D. Therefore, they can learn about every aspect of the food industry E. After considering all aspects of the dining experience, they generate ratings. F. Food critics primarily write about restaurants from fast food establishments to fancy restaurants. G. Once a food critic has gained experience, he or she can start writing articles for magazines and newspapers.

There were once two rabbits，Wanda the Wise and Frederick the Foolish, who were walking through a field. They were good friends and enjoyed their wander together.
On this walk, they came upon two carrots. One of the carrots had large leaves coming out of the top and the other looked much smaller from the surface. Frederick was excited and ran up to the carrot with larger leaves. “I’ll have this one,” he proudly exclaimed(叫 喊) and proceeded to pull it out from the ground. Wanda shrugged(耸肩) her shoulders and pulled out the other carrot, which turned out to be much bigger. Frederick was surprised and asked how this could possibly be. Wanda looked at her friend and replied, “You can't always judge a carrot by its leaves.”
They kept on walking and came across another pair of carrots, again with different sized leaves. This time Frederick allowed his friend the first pick. Wanda hopped(跳跃) to each carrot, inspected and smelled them carefully and, to Frederick’s surprise, chose the carrot with larger leaves.
As they each pulled their carrots out from the ground, Frederick was confused to see that his carrot was still smaller than Wanda’s.
“You said that carrots with larger leaves are not always larger, so I thought carrots with smaller leaves meant larger ones," he said.
“No," replied Wanda. "I said don’t judge a carrot by its leaves. It’s also important to remember to think before you choose."
Frederick nodded and they ate their carrots before continuing their wander
For a third time, they found two carrots, again with different sized leaves. Frederick looked confused and didn’t know what to do. Wanda indicated that he could choose which carrot to eat.

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Frederick, the poor foolish rabbit, didn't really know what to do. He pretended to inspect and smell them carefully, just as Wanda did, but in vain. He was about to pull the carrot with bigger leaves when he was torn inside. What if the other carrot was bigger He was at a loss and didn’t know which carrot was bigger. “My best friend, please help me!" So eager was Frederick to eat the bigger carrot that he stamped his feet, sweating on his head.
Paragraph 2:
Wanda smiled warmly, hopped over to the bigger carrot and pulled it out for his friend. Frederick looked at Wanda with a look of disbelief on his face. "Frederick, there's no point in having wisdom if you’re not willing to share the benefits of it with others. You're my friend and I want you to have this carrot. A smart rabbit with a full stomach but no friends isn't really wise, is she " said Wanda. Frederick hung his head in shame at the thought of Wanda's generosity. It dawned on him that the possession of friendship made his day.
