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.
4. Why are cyclists mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To highlight the popularity of cycling. B. To vividly show her pace of hiking.
C. To suggest an unusual way of life. D. To stress environmental protection.
5. 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.
6. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word in the last paragraph
A. Deep. B. Sad. C. Delightful. D. Bright.
7. 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
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了茱莉亚·哈伊诺茨基建造了一个可移动的家在大自然中徒步旅行，她主要拍摄大自然中被遗忘的部分。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“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.(茱莉亚·哈伊诺茨基这样描述她缓慢而不寻常的徒步旅行方式。每年有几个星期，摄影师都会沿着加拿大一些最令人惊叹的野生空间的人行道行走。当其他游客快速经过时，她会仔细观察苔藓或蘑菇。她说：“这肯定是骑自行车的人在高速公路上被卡车超过时的感受。”)”可推知，第一段提到了骑自行车的人是为了生动地展示她徒步旅行的步伐。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“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. (Hajnoczky的搜索规则是:选择最少量的丰富的、死亡的或被遗弃的东西——绝不是稀有物种或活的动物——并在完成后归还它们)”可知，Hajnoczky在她的项目中拍摄大自然中被遗忘的部分。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Deeply worried about humanity’s relationship with the environment, Hajnoczky describe the images as”以及后文“dark, sorrowful”可知，哈伊诺茨基对人类与环境的关系深感担忧，他将这些图像描述为“哀歌、黑暗、悲伤”，故划线词意思是“悲伤的”。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“This is how Julya Hajnoczky describes her slow and unusual way of hiking.(茱莉亚·哈伊诺茨基这样描述她缓慢而不寻常的徒步旅行方式)”结合文章主要说明了茱莉亚·哈伊诺茨基建造了一个可移动的家在大自然中徒步旅行，她主要拍摄大自然中被遗忘的部分。故D选项“穿越大自然奇观的缓慢旅程”最符合文章标题。故选D。

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, but 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).”
8. 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.
9. Why are the examples in paragraph 3mentioned
A. To introduce those who have lost authenticity.
B. To emphasize continued attention to the word.
C. To highlight the importance of being authentic.
D. To prove the sudden popularity of the word.
10. 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.
11. 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.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是韦氏词典2023年的年度词汇“地道”。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“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.(该词典公司的特约编辑Peter Sokolowski告诉美联社，这个词在词典公司网站上的搜索量通常很高，但今年的搜索量达到了新的高度。)”可知“地道”被选为年度词汇的原因是因为今年这个词的搜索量达到了很高的水平，故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段““What we realize is that when we question authenticity, we value it even more.”(“我们意识到，当我们质疑真实性时，我们会更加重视它。”)”以及文章第三段“Sokolowski said that this year interest in the word authentic did not increase suddenly at any particular time, but that the word was a constant object of interest.(Sokolowski 说，今年人们对“地道”一词的兴趣并没有在某个特定时间突然增加，而是这个词一直是人们感兴趣的对象。)”可知“地道”一直是人们感兴趣的对象，所以第3段提到的例子是为了强调对这个词的持续关注。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Sokolowski said. “We sometimes don’t believe our own eyes or our own ears. We are now recognizing that authenticity is a performance itself.”(Sokolowski说。“我们有时不相信自己的眼睛或耳朵。我们现在认识到，真实性本身就是一种表演。”)”可知在Sokolowski看来真实性本身就是一种表演，而表演是有目的性的，由此可知Sokolowski认为真实性可以被有意创造。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“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).”(《韦氏词典》对地道一词的解释有几种。有“不假不仿”之分：真的、真实的。一种是“忠于自己的个性、精神或性格。”有“基于事实值得接受或相信的东西。”还有“和原作一样的制作方式”。)”可知韦氏词典》对地道一词的解释其中之一是“和原作一样的制作方式”，所以D项This is an authentic model of the ancient town.(这是一个真实的古镇模型。) 中authentic的意思是“以与原作相同的方式制作或完成”。故选D项。
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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“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.(一大早走出火车站，游客们就会看到冷空气与水汇合，在威尼斯的“主要街道”——大运河上形成一层厚厚的、柔软的雾毯)”可知，威尼斯的“主要街道”会有雾。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“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.(1966年，威尼斯经历了历史上最严重的洪灾，此后，教科文组织和意大利政府启动了一项拯救这座城市的重大项目。巨大的可移动防洪门被用来保护最低的地区免受洪水侵袭。三十年后，人们对技术成就和国际合作的成功结果达成了共识)”可推知，第3段中提到的项目是共同努力的结果。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“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.(这个城市在几个方面仍然受到威胁——大众旅游、城市发展的潜在损害以及不断涌入的大型船只对其脆弱基础的破坏)”可知，旅游超载威胁着威尼斯的生存。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“International pressure around the status of Venice led to the Italian Government’s decision in2021 to ban large ships from the city center.

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.(围绕威尼斯地位的国际压力导致意大利政府在2021年决定禁止大型船只进入市中心。这一决定是在联合国教科文组织宣布决定将这座城市列入世界濒危遗产名录几天后做出的。在一个合适的码头被开发出来之前，大型船只将被允许在威尼斯的工业郊区Marghera停靠。这些决定表明了保护历史名城和文化遗产城市中心的困难，在这种特殊情况下，需要采取与保护埃及神庙不同的特别措施和技术)”可知，最后一段的主旨是威尼斯的保护工作正在进行中。故选A。
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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. B 19. D
【解析】

New Year’s resolutions 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. ____20____ 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.
____21____“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. ____22____ 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.” ____23____ 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. ____24____ “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.

Try these tips to increase your chances of success.(在那些下定决心的受访者中，大约16%的人坚持了所有的决心，大约44%的人在年底前至少坚持了一部分，但不是全部——这意味着近三分之二的人取得了一定程度的成功。试试这些建议来增加你成功的机会)”可知，后文提到了人们完成新年计划的情况，故本句是在说明人们制定新年计划的人数调查结果。故C选项“一项调查显示，大约四成的人制定了新年计划”符合语境，故选C。
【21题详解】
根据后文““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.”(“当我们为未来做计划时，通常会出现我们所说的‘同理心缺口’。芝加哥大学布斯商学院行为科学和市场营销学教授、《Get it Done》一书的作者阿耶莱特·菲什巴赫说：“我们无法想象吃饱了肚子饿了是什么感觉，或者没出汗的时候出汗是什么感觉。如果你的新年计划涉及大量出汗，那就在锻炼的时候制定计划。”)”可知，后文通过阿耶莱特·菲什巴赫指出我们无法在不处于需要制定计划的时候制定出新年计划，即强调制定新年计划要在合适的时间。故A选项“在合适的时间制定新年计划”符合语境，故选A。
【22题详解】
根据上文“Make a detailed plan for achieving your goal.(为实现目标制定一个详细的计划)”以及后文“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.(如果你的决心是要多锻炼，现在就制定一个计划:哪几天锻炼，在哪里锻炼，如何锻炼，以及如何照顾孩子和吃饭)”可知，本句承接上文说明制定详细计划的要求，故E选项“这包括想办法克服潜在的困难”符合语境，故选E。
【23题详解】
根据上文“Research shows that people have more success achieving goals if they use a method known as “temptation bundling.”(研究表明，如果人们使用一种被称为“诱惑捆绑”的方法，他们会更成功地实现目标)”以及后文“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.(如果你想吃得更健康，那就去上烹饪课，或者和朋友一起制定一个健康食谱的计划)”可知，本句承接上文，就如何“诱惑捆绑”进行举例说明。故G选项“如果你的目标是得到更多的锻炼，那就放着你最喜欢的音乐”符合语境，故选G。
【24题详解】
根据上文“Forgive failures. Don’t define success as pass or fail.(原谅失败。不要通过失败定义成功)”可知，本段的建议是原谅失败，说明要重视小的成功，故F选项“即使你没有百分之百的成功，也要庆祝小的成功”符合语境，故选F。

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.
4. Why are cyclists mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To highlight the popularity of cycling. B. To vividly show her pace of hiking.
C. To suggest an unusual way of life. D. To stress environmental protection.
5. 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.

7. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. An Insightful Documentary of Wilderness B. Speedy Adventures in Canada’s Wild Spaces

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, but 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).”
8. 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.
9. Why are the examples in paragraph 3mentioned
A. To introduce those who have lost authenticity.
B. To emphasize continued attention to the word.
C. To highlight the importance of being authentic.
D To prove the sudden popularity of the word.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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 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. ____20____ 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.
____21____“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.”
