A series of frog like crouches（蹲）. A personal best time of four hours on a typically 15-minute road. This is how Julya Hajnoczky describes her slow and unusual way of hiking. For weeks each year, the photographer walks along footpaths in some of Canada’s most amazing wild spaces. She takes a close look at moss（苔藓）or mushrooms while other visitors speed by. "It must be how cyclists feel on the highway when they’re getting passed by trucks," she says. Sometimes, though, hikers stop and ask what she sees that they don’t. She’s happy to explain-after all, that’s the point of her project.
In 2017 Hajnoczky designed and built an eight- foot-long movable “home”, which was named the Alfresco Science Machine. Painted forest green, it houses almost everything needed for fieldwork: a bed, a camp kitchen, binoculars and hand lenses, collection permits, field guides, small bottles and specimen（标本）—collection tools, sunscreen, bug repellent. Also Hajnoczky’s searching rules: Pick a minimal amount of plentiful, dead, or abandoned things—never rare species or live animals—and return them when finished.
The resulting photos are the small models of Canadian landscape and make up her ongoing project: At the Last Judgement We Will All Be Trees. Deeply worried about humanity’s relationship with the environment, Hajnoczky describe the images as “elegiac, dark, sorrowful,” as still lifes（静物）created while there’s still life. Yet they’re also fascinating. Slow down, they seem to say. Look with amazement at the natural world and see the importance to protect it.
24. Why are cyclists mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To highlight the popularity of cycling. B. To vividly show her pa ce of hiking.
C. To suggest an unusual way of life. D. To stress environmental protection.
25. What does Hajnoczky do in her project
A. Record the lives of rare species. B. Collect as many plants as possible.
C. Feed the live animals along the way. D. Take pictures of a forgotten part of nature.
26. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word in the last paragraph
A. Deep. B. Sad. C. Delightful. D. Bright.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. An Insightful Documentary of Wilderness B. Speedy Adventures in Canada’s Wild Spaces
C. The Benefits of Hiking in Nature D. A Slow Journey through Nature’s Wonders

Authentic Is Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year for 2023
The Merriam-Webster word of the year for 2023 is “authentic.” Authentic food. Authentic voice. Authentic self Look ups for the word are routinely heavy on the dictionary eampany’s site but were put to new heights throughout the year, editor at large Peter Sokolowski told The Associated Press.
“We see in 2023 a kind of crisis of authenticity,” he said before the announcement of this year’s word on November 27. “What we realize is that when we question authenticity, we value it even more.”
Sokolowski said that this year interest in the word authentic did not increase suddenly at any particular time, bun that the word was a constant object of interest. This was the year of Al, and also of a moment when ChatGIPT-maker Open AI suffered a leadership crisis. Taylor Swift and Prince Harry looked for authenticity in their words and deeds. Elon Musk, at February’s World Government Summit in Dubai, requested the heads of companies, politicians and other leaders to “speak authentically” on social media by running their own accounts（账号）.
“Can we trust whether a student wrote this paper Can we trust whether a politician made this statement We don’t always trust what we see anymore,” Sokolowski said. “We sometimes don’t believe our own eyes or our own ears. We are now recognizing that authenticity is a performance itself.”
Merriam-Webster’s entry for authentic provides several definitions. There is “not false or imitation（模仿）: real, actual.” There’s “true to one’s own personality, spirit or character.” There’s “worthy of acceptance or belief as based on fact.” And there is “made or done the same way as an original（原版）.”
28. Which of the following is the reason why authentic is chosen the word of the year
A. A good many significant events are related to the word.
B. The word is looked up on the online dictionary routinely.
C. The word was voted out by many netizens questioning it.
D. The searches of the word reached a high level this year.
29. Why are the examples in paragraph 3mentioned
A. To introduce those who have lost authenticity.
B. To emphas1ze continued attention to the word.
C. To highlight the importance of being authentic.
D. To prove the sudden popularity of the word.
30. Which of the following statements would Sokolowski agree with
A. Few people are trustworthy nowadays.
B. Students are expert at cheating with AI.
C. Authenticity can be created on purpose.
D. People are more likely to be tricked by eyes.
31. In which of the sentences authentic means “made or done the same way as an original”
A. He is a man of authentic charm.
B. I don’t know if the painting is authentic.
C. This is an authentic description of the situation.
D. This is an authentic model of the ancient town.
D
Stepping outside the railway station early on an morning, visitors are met with the view of the cold air joining the water, forming a thick, soft blanket of fog over the Grand Canal（运河）, the “main street” of Venice. The church of San Simeone Piccolo and the neighboring buildings appear to be floating on the water of the lagoon. It’s a sight that has welcomed millions of visitors from all over the world since the great days of the Serenissima, when the city ruled as one of Europe’s economic superpowers.
Yet, the breath-taking beauty that inspired countless painters, writers and artists over the centuries remains at risk of being lost forever. Like the Abu Simbel temples, the city’s survival is threatened（威胁）by rising water levels. The increase in sea level has caused flooding to be a regular thing.
After 1966, the year of the worst flooding in Venice’s history, UNESCO and the Italian Government started a major project to save the city. Huge movable flood gates were used to protect the lowest areas from flooding. Thirty years later there is agreement on the successful results both of the technical achievements and international cooperation.
But Venice still needs attentive care, and its continued survival calls for careful watch. The city remains threatened on several aspects -mass tourism, the potential damage of city development and the steady stream of large ships crushing its weak foundations.
International pressure around the status of Venice led to the Italian Government’s decision in2021 to ban large ships from the city center. This decision came a few days after UNESCO announced its decision to put the city on its World Heritage in Danger list. Until a suitable docking place（码头）is developed, large ships will be allowed to pull up in Marghera, an industrial suburb of Venice. Such decisions show the difficulty of protecting historic cities and cultural heritage urban centers, which in this particular situation called for specially-made measures and techniques different from those made for the safeguarding of the Egyptian temples.
32. What can we learn about Venice from the first two paragraphs
A. Venice is Europe’s economic superpower. B. Many artists are natives of Venice.
C. The lagoon is a church in Venice. D. The “main street” of Venice can be foggy.
33. Which of the following can best describe the project mentioned in paragraph 3
A. A celebration of life. B. A painful lesson for all.
C. A reflection of human nature. D. A result of joint efforts.
34. Which of the following is threatening the survival of Venice
A. Technological advancements. B. Tourism overload.
C. The popularity of water sports. D. Rising local population.
35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The safeguarding of Venice is in process.
B. UNESCO called for immediate Venice Ship Ban.
C. Italian government was struggling for protection measures.
D. The measures to protect Egyptian temples are copied in Venice.
E
Any creature or person that has both organic（与有机体有关的）and non-organic body parts can technically be considered a cyborg. This means that anyone who has a pace-maker to control their heartbeat, or a cochlear implant（耳蜗移植）to restore their hearing, could technically be called one.
The above are examples of ‘restorative’ cyborgs, because technology is restoring an ability that a healthy human would normally have. More recent advancements in this field include robotic arms and legs, which are controlled by sensors（传感器）to receive muscle signals. Recently, brain implants have allowed disabled people to perform simple computer tasks.
But with these rapid advances in technology, another variety of cyborg will soon become more common. ‘Advanced’ cyborgs. If it’s possible to make man-made body parts which are as good as their organic ones, then surely it will become possible to make ones that are even better.
Possible cyborg advancements that may exist in the future include man-made joints which increase your speed and strength. Advanced brain chips（芯片）which allow you to control machines with a thought. Or visual implants which improve your eyesight or allow you to see colors that can’t be seen previously to the human eye.
However, some people worry that this technology could be dangerous. New ways of exciting the pleasure centers of people’s brains could lead to new forms of addiction. Others worry that it could lead to inequality in healthcare, with the high cost of implants causing the wealthy to gain further advantages over the poor.
Implants which restore the abilities of those who are injured are a wonderful medical advancement. But as physical enhancements that allow people to do more and live longer become more common, the choice will be between combining with machines or being left behind.
36. Which of the following is a cyborg
A. A pace-maker. B. A robot with strong arms.
C. A brain implant. D. An animal with a robotic leg.
37. What ability may an advanced cyborg have according to the text
A. Seeing more colors than normal people. B. Directing people with brain.
C. Creating the man-made joints. D. Repairing the organic body parts.
38. What can we infer from the text
A. The poor could gain new addiction. B. The wealthy could live longer than the poor.
C. Cyborgs no longer need healthcare. D. Cyborgs could avoid any form of injury.
39. Where can the text be found
A. A report on a robotic project. B. A fictional novel on cyborgs.
C. A fitness and well-being brochure. D. A magazine on new science.

New Year’s resolutions（决心）have a bad reputation, at least in part, because people tend to grade themselves pass or fail when, in reality, they’ve made key improvements in various areas of their lives by mostly sticking to a resolution, experts say. 40 Of those surveyed who made resolutions, about 16 percent kept all their resolutions and about 44 percent kept at least some but not all of them by the end of the year — meaning nearly 2 out of 3 people achieved some level of success. Try these tips to increase your chances of success.
41 “When we plan for the future, there is often what we refer to as the ‘empathy gap.’ We don’t quite imagine what it would feel like to be hungry when we’re full or sweaty when we’re not sweating,” said Ayelet Fishbach, a professor of behavioral science and marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and author of the book “Get it Done.” “If your New Year’s resolution is going to involve a lot of sweating, make the plan while you are exercising.”
Make a detailed plan for achieving your goal. 42 If your resolution is to exercise more, make a plan now for which days you will exercise, where you will do it and how you will get there, as well as how to deal with child care and meals.
Choose a goal you’ll enjoy. You’re more likely to succeed if you pick something you like to door if you can find a way to make it more fun. Research shows that people have more success achieving goals if they use a method known as “temptation bundling.” 43 If you’re trying to eat more healthfully, take a cooking class or make a plan to prepare a healthful recipe（食谱）with a friend.
Forgive failures. Don’t define success as pass or fail. 44 “If you’re setting tough goals, there will always be failure,” Milkman said.
A. Set your New Year’s resolutions at the right time.
B. Give your New Year’s resolution a cheerful start.
C. A survey showed that about 4 in 10 made New Year’s resolutions.
D. Other holidays, birthdays and even Mondays can be fresh starts.
E. This includes thinking through ways to get over potential difficulties.
F. Celebrate small successes even if you don’t achieve 100-percent success.
G. If your goal is to get more exercise, do it with your favorite music on.

In order to promote Chinese culture, foster appreciation for the art of calligraphy and provide a platform for students to showcase their skills, our school held a New Year’s Calligraphy Competition last week.
100 excellent calligraphy works selected from each class were displayed in the Art Square, all of which were full of traditional Chinese beauty, giving people a comfortable feeling. All the students were invited to vote for them to decide on the winner. Besides, several calligraphy enthusiasts were writing on the spot, demonstrating their superb skills, which attracted many students to watch, applauding and cheering.
The calligraphy competition was a great success one of the contestants said that it was such an exciting con test and he hoped there would be more similar activities to spread traditional Chinese culture.

A series of frog like crouches（蹲）. A personal best time of four hours on a typically 15-minute road. This is how Julya Hajnoczky describes her slow and unusual way of hiking. For weeks each year, the photographer walks along footpaths in some of Canada’s most amazing wild spaces. She takes a close look at moss（苔藓）or mushrooms while other visitors speed by. "It must be how cyclists feel on the highway when they’re getting passed by trucks," she says. Sometimes, though, hikers stop and ask what she sees that they don’t. She’s happy to explain-after all, that’s the point of her project.
In 2017 Hajnoczky designed and built an eight- foot-long movable “home”, which was named the Alfresco Science Machine. Painted forest green, it houses almost everything needed for fieldwork: a bed, a camp kitchen, binoculars and hand lenses, collection permits, field guides, small bottles and specimen（标本）—collection tools, sunscreen, bug repellent. Also Hajnoczky’s searching rules: Pick a minimal amount of plentiful, dead, or abandoned things—never rare species or live animals—and return them when finished.
The resulting photos are the small models of Canadian landscape and make up her ongoing project: At the Last Judgement We Will All Be Trees. Deeply worried about humanity’s relationship with the environment, Hajnoczky describe the images as “elegiac, dark, sorrowful,” as still lifes（静物）created while there’s still life. Yet they’re also fascinating. Slow down, they seem to say. Look with amazement at the natural world and see the importance to protect it.
24. Why are cyclists mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To highlight the popularity of cycling. B. To vividly show her pa ce of hiking.
C. To suggest an unusual way of life. D. To stress environmental protection.
25. What does Hajnoczky do in her project
A. Record the lives of rare species. B. Collect as many plants as possible.
C. Feed the live animals along the way. D. Take pictures of a forgotten part of nature.
26. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word in the last paragraph
A. Deep. B. Sad. C. Delightful. D. Bright.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. An Insightful Documentary of Wilderness B. Speedy Adventures in Canada’s Wild Spaces
C. The Benefits of Hiking in Nature D. A Slow Journey through Nature’s Wonders

Authentic Is Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year for 2023
The Merriam-Webster word of the year for 2023 is “authentic.” Authentic food. Authentic voice. Authentic self Look ups for the word are routinely heavy on the dictionary eampany’s site but were put to new heights throughout the year, editor at large Peter Sokolowski told The Associated Press.
“We see in 2023 a kind of crisis of authenticity,” he said before the announcement of this year’s word on November 27. “What we realize is that when we question authenticity, we value it even more.”
Sokolowski said that this year interest in the word authentic did not increase suddenly at any particular time, bun that the word was a constant object of interest. This was the year of Al, and also of a moment when ChatGIPT-maker Open AI suffered a leadership crisis. Taylor Swift and Prince Harry looked for authenticity in their words and deeds. Elon Musk, at February’s World Government Summit in Dubai, requested the heads of companies, politicians and other leaders to “speak authentically” on social media by running their own accounts（账号）.
“Can we trust whether a student wrote this paper Can we trust whether a politician made this statement We don’t always trust what we see anymore,” Sokolowski said. “We sometimes don’t believe our own eyes or our own ears. We are now recognizing that authenticity is a performance itself.”
Merriam-Webster’s entry for authentic provides several definitions. There is “not false or imitation（模仿）: real, actual.” There’s “true to one’s own personality, spirit or character.” There’s “worthy of acceptance or belief as based on fact.” And there is “made or done the same way as an original（原版）.”
28. Which of the following is the reason why authentic is chosen the word of the year
A. A good many significant events are related to the word.
B. The word is looked up on the online dictionary routinely.
C. The word was voted out by many netizens questioning it.
D. The searches of the word reached a high level this year.
29. Why are the examples in paragraph 3mentioned
A. To introduce those who have lost authenticity.
B. To emphas1ze continued attention to the word.
C. To highlight the importance of being authentic.
D. To prove the sudden popularity of the word.
30. Which of the following statements would Sokolowski agree with
A. Few people are trustworthy nowadays.
B. Students are expert at cheating with AI.
C. Authenticity can be created on purpose.
D. People are more likely to be tricked by eyes.
31. In which of the sentences authentic means “made or done the same way as an original”
A. He is a man of authentic charm.
B. I don’t know if the painting is authentic.
C. This is an authentic description of the situation.
D. This is an authentic model of the ancient town.

Stepping outside the railway station early on an morning, visitors are met with the view of the cold air joining the water, forming a thick, soft blanket of fog over the Grand Canal（运河）, the “main street” of Venice. The church of San Simeone Piccolo and the neighboring buildings appear to be floating on the water of the lagoon. It’s a sight that has welcomed millions of visitors from all over the world since the great days of the Serenissima, when the city ruled as one of Europe’s economic superpowers.
Yet, the breath-taking beauty that inspired countless painters, writers and artists over the centuries remains at risk of being lost forever. Like the Abu Simbel temples, the city’s survival is threatened（威胁）by rising water levels. The increase in sea level has caused flooding to be a regular thing.
After 1966, the year of the worst flooding in Venice’s history, UNESCO and the Italian Government started a major project to save the city. Huge movable flood gates were used to protect the lowest areas from flooding. Thirty years later there is agreement on the successful results both of the technical achievements and international cooperation.
But Venice still needs attentive care, and its continued survival calls for careful watch. The city remains threatened on several aspects -mass tourism, the potential damage of city development and the steady stream of large ships crushing its weak foundations.
International pressure around the status of Venice led to the Italian Government’s decision in2021 to ban large ships from the city center. This decision came a few days after UNESCO announced its decision to put the city on its World Heritage in Danger list. Until a suitable docking place（码头）is developed, large ships will be allowed to pull up in Marghera, an industrial suburb of Venice. Such decisions show the difficulty of protecting historic cities and cultural heritage urban centers, which in this particular situation called for specially-made measures and techniques different from those made for the safeguarding of the Egyptian temples.
32. What can we learn about Venice from the first two paragraphs
A. Venice is Europe’s economic superpower. B. Many artists are natives of Venice.
C. The lagoon is a church in Venice. D. The “main street” of Venice can be foggy.
33. Which of the following can best describe the project mentioned in paragraph 3
A. A celebration of life. B. A painful lesson for all.
C. A reflection of human nature. D. A result of joint efforts.
34. Which of the following is threatening the survival of Venice
A. Technological advancements. B. Tourism overload.
C. The popularity of water sports. D. Rising local population.
35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The safeguarding of Venice is in process.
B. UNESCO called for immediate Venice Ship Ban.
C. Italian government was struggling for protection measures.
D. The measures to protect Egyptian temples are copied in Venice.

Any creature or person that has both organic（与有机体有关的）and non-organic body parts can technically be considered a cyborg. This means that anyone who has a pace-maker to control their heartbeat, or a cochlear implant（耳蜗移植）to restore their hearing, could technically be called one.
The above are examples of ‘restorative’ cyborgs, because technology is restoring an ability that a healthy human would normally have. More recent advancements in this field include robotic arms and legs, which are controlled by sensors（传感器）to receive muscle signals. Recently, brain implants have allowed disabled people to perform simple computer tasks.
But with these rapid advances in technology, another variety of cyborg will soon become more common. ‘Advanced’ cyborgs. If it’s possible to make man-made body parts which are as good as their organic ones, then surely it will become possible to make ones that are even better.
Possible cyborg advancements that may exist in the future include man-made joints which increase your speed and strength. Advanced brain chips（芯片）which allow you to control machines with a thought. Or visual implants which improve your eyesight or allow you to see colors that can’t be seen previously to the human eye.
However, some people worry that this technology could be dangerous. New ways of exciting the pleasure centers of people’s brains could lead to new forms of addiction. Others worry that it could lead to inequality in healthcare, with the high cost of implants causing the wealthy to gain further advantages over the poor.
Implants which restore the abilities of those who are injured are a wonderful medical advancement. But as physical enhancements that allow people to do more and live longer become more common, the choice will be between combining with machines or being left behind.
36. Which of the following is a cyborg
A. A pace-maker. B. A robot with strong arms.
C. A brain implant. D. An animal with a robotic leg.
37. What ability may an advanced cyborg have according to the text
A. Seeing more colors than normal people. B. Directing people with brain.
C. Creating the man-made joints. D. Repairing the organic body parts.
38. What can we infer from the text
A. The poor could gain new addiction. B. The wealthy could live longer than the poor.
C. Cyborgs no longer need healthcare. D. Cyborgs could avoid any form of injury.
39. Where can the text be found
A. A report on a robotic project. B. A fictional novel on cyborgs.
C. A fitness and well-being brochure. D. A magazine on new science.

New Year’s resolutions（决心）have a bad reputation, at least in part, because people tend to grade themselves pass or fail when, in reality, they’ve made key improvements in various areas of their lives by mostly sticking to a resolution, experts say. 40 Of those surveyed who made resolutions, about 16 percent kept all their resolutions and about 44 percent kept at least some but not all of them by the end of the year — meaning nearly 2 out of 3 people achieved some level of success. Try these tips to increase your chances of success.
41 “When we plan for the future, there is often what we refer to as the ‘empathy gap.’ We don’t quite imagine what it would feel like to be hungry when we’re full or sweaty when we’re not sweating,” said Ayelet Fishbach, a professor of behavioral science and marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and author of the book “Get it Done.” “If your New Year’s resolution is going to involve a lot of sweating, make the plan while you are exercising.”
Make a detailed plan for achieving your goal. 42 If your resolution is to exercise more, make a plan now for which days you will exercise, where you will do it and how you will get there, as well as how to deal with child care and meals.
Choose a goal you’ll enjoy. You’re more likely to succeed if you pick something you like to door if you can find a way to make it more fun. Research shows that people have more success achieving goals if they use a method known as “temptation bundling.” 43 If you’re trying to eat more healthfully, take a cooking class or make a plan to prepare a healthful recipe（食谱）with a friend.
Forgive failures. Don’t define success as pass or fail. 44 “If you’re setting tough goals, there will always be failure,” Milkman said.
A. Set your New Year’s resolutions at the right time.
B. Give your New Year’s resolution a cheerful start.
C. A survey showed that about 4 in 10 made New Year’s resolutions.
D. Other holidays, birthdays and even Mondays can be fresh starts.
E. This includes thinking through ways to get over potential difficulties.
F. Celebrate small successes even if you don’t achieve 100-percent success.
G. If your goal is to get more exercise, do it with your favorite music on.

“When I started this work, I was a lone ranger and I wanted to change that.” She says. 56 by a similar outreach activity, which lighted her 57 for astronomy in her early 20s, Murabana set up her own outreach program after her online master’s degree in astronomy in 2011.

In order to promote Chinese culture, foster appreciation for the art of calligraphy and provide a platform for students to showcase their skills, our school held a New Year’s Calligraphy Competition last week.
100 excellent calligraphy works selected from each class were displayed in the Art Square, all of which were full of traditional Chinese beauty, giving people a comfortable feeling. All the students were invited to vote for them to decide on the winner. Besides, several calligraphy enthusiasts were writing on the spot, demonstrating their superb skills, which attracted many students to watch, applauding and cheering.
The calligraphy competition was a great success one of the contestants said that it was such an exciting con test and he hoped there would be more similar activities to spread traditional Chinese culture.
