As an ordinary man, I have a special habit to confess. Whenever I walk down the street, I offer to pour a bottle of water from the nearby river into the dirt of a street tree. It’s just my personal habit, and I think it doesn’t make a difference, but I’d like to do it. I mention this in light of a campaign launched by the Arboricultural Association to call on the public to water new street trees.
The UK government has committed to planting millions of trees to help meet climate targets and aims to increase tree cover from 14.5% to 16.5% by 2050. However, as John Parker, chief executive of the Arboricultural Association, says, “Planting a tree is just the start of the story. The health and survival of new urban trees is threatened by increasingly dry weather. It is recommended that the newly planted trees be given about 50 litres of water per week for the first three years.” While in rural settings, the newly planted trees and woods can take care of themselves and adapt, the challenging conditions mean trees in the urban areas need a bit more care.
Long ago, I assumed that the good of street trees was to soften the hard edges of urban environments. But, what an underestimation of tree power that was! A study from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities illustrates they can provide inspiration or a calming atmosphere in an otherwise crowded city. Trees are responsible for easing urban heat island effects and air and pollutant filtration. And I think they provide the habitat for wildlife, especially birds.
Trees can’t run away. Unfortunately for them and fortunately for urban residents, city trees are stuck with us. If we want to continue enjoying all the good they do, we should try to understand their needs and do all that we can to support them. A bottle of water won’t do much, but next time you all together have a bucket of water to pour, you know what big effect will happen.
24. What does the author think of his personal habit
A. It is of little effect. B. It is enforced.
C. It is of much significance. D. It is common.
25. What does John Parker say about urban trees
A. They have started to be watered regularly. B. More work needs to be done for their living.
C. They are threatened by the increasing flood. D. The newly planted ones can’t look after themselves.
26. What can we learn about street trees from paragraph 3
A. Their usage is overrated.
B. Their value is thought highly of by the public.
C. They benefit residents physically and mentally.
D. They can thoroughly solve environmental problems.
27. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. When in need, ask for it. B. Tall trees catch much wind.
C. Many hands make light work. D. Misfortunes seldom come alone.

UNESCO has added Italian opera singing, along with more than 50 other practices from around the world, to its list of Intangible (无形的) Cultural Heritage. The agency created the list in 2008 to help safeguard traditions, festivals, rites of passage, art forms and other practices across the globe. It also recognizes culturally and historically significant buildings, structures and properties with its well-known list of World Heritage Sites. It originates from the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023.
With UNESCO’s decision, opera singing joins several other Italian traditions on the list, like pizza making. “Performed by people of all genders, Italian opera singing is associated with specific facial expressions and body gestures and involves a combination of music, drama, acting and staging,” writes UNESCO.
The practice dates back to the Medici family in Florence in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Jacopo Peri’s Dafne, which was performed for the Medicis in 1598, is considered the first Italian opera. “This is a confirmation of what we’ve already known: Opera singing is a world excellence,” says Gennaro Sangiuliano, Italy’s culture minister, in a statement.
A wide variety of cultural practices, food dishes and festivals also made the list at UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage meeting in Botswana. The committee narrowed down nominations submitted by 72nations, ultimately selecting 55 to add to the list. The full list now includes 730 practices from 145 countries. Six of the new additions are “in need of urgent safeguarding”, according to UNESCO. These include Syrian glassblowing, olive cultivation in Türkiye and a traditional Malaysian performance called Mek Mulung. The non-urgent additions include several annual events, such as the Rotterdam Summer Carnival in the Netherlands, the Sango Festival of Oyo in Nigeria, the Junkanoo in the Bahamas and the Shuwalid festival in Ethiopia.
28. Why was Italian opera singing added to the UNESCO’s list
A. To prove its perfection. . To preserve this art form.
C. To strengthen its competitiveness. D. To celebrate this art’s 20th anniversary.
29. What does UNESCO mention about Italian opera singing in paragraph 2
A. Its features. B. Its prospects. C. Its origin. D. Its cost.
30. What can we infer about Italian opera singing from Gennaro Sangiuliano’s words
A. It has a long history. B. It awaits confirmation.
C. It has received high recognition. D. It comes from a well-known performance.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Art Forms in Italy
B. The Introduction to UNESCO
C.730 Practices Are Ready to Be Added to the UNESCO’s List
D. The UNESCO’s List Welcomes Italian Opera Singing &. Other Practices

The Great Wall in China is an iconic cultural landmark that has stood for a long time. But the long structure is also at risk of disappearing because of natural erosion. Now, scientists have discovered that some parts of the wall are better conserved from the elements than others. Some plants have created a layer of biocrusts (生物外壳) on some sections of the wall, according to a study published in a journal. In addition to strengthening the wall, the biocrusts shield it from wind and water. The researchers report the “living cover” also insulates the wall from temperature changes.
The Great Wall was constructed and connected over thousands of years ago to help create a “united defense system” for China’s northern border. Some sections were built using rammed earth (夯土), a process that involves compacting natural materials like stones and soil to create firm structures. Those materials also provided an ideal habitat for organisms to grow—and over time, they created a biocrust layer atop the rammed earth.
Scientists in China wanted to better understand the wall’s biocrusts, so they took samples from a roughly 300-mile-long section. When they analyzed the samples, they found that 67%of the area they studied was covered in biocrusts. They also conducted a series of experiments to compare the bare and biocrust-covered samples. The biocrust-covered sections held up better in tests measuring their strength and stability. Some biocrust samples were three times stronger than the bare rammed earth samples.
The new research could help info rm conservation strategies for the Great Wall and other heritage structures created from rammed earth. Some conservationists have supposed that biocrusts may cause historic structures to worsen more quickly, but this study suggests otherwise. Instead, biocrusts helpfully combine the functions of several conventional measures into one nature-based, eco-friendly and long-lasting strategy.
32. What does the underlined word “insulates” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Protects. B. Takes. C. Removes. D. Creates.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How the Great Wall was built. B. What rammed earth once was like.
C. What role the Great Wall played in history. D. How biocrusts were formed on the Great Wall.
34. What can the findings be used to do
A. Conserve plant samples. B. Stop the formation of biocrusts.
C. Help keep rammed earth heritage structures. D. Replace conventional building protection measures.
35. How is the text mainly organized
A. By analyzing the methods of wall restoration.
B. By comparing different sections of the Great Wall.
C. By tracking the historical significance of the Great Wall.
D. By explaining a new scientific discovery and its impacts.

We watch our salt and fat intake to protect our hearts. We exercise and take calcium to protect our bones. We apply sunscreen to protect our skin 36
Invest in high-quality sunglasses. Protecting eyes from sunlight is very important. To protect your eyes, wear sunglasses certified to block out 99% to 100% of UVA and UVB light The lenses (镜片) are essential 37 In fact, if the lenses are dark but not UV protected, that’s worse for your eyes.
Take a break from screens. There is some medical evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes 38 One of the best ways to prevent that is drinking four or five glasses of water a day. If you still feel your eyes are dry or tired, use eye drops to keep your vision clear.
39 Firstly, stop smoking. Obviously, it is hard to stop smoking, but it is not only bad for your lungs but also harmful to your eyes. It causes dry eyes and even increases the risk of eye diseases. Besides, try not to rub your eyes often. Rubbing makes infection worse. The more you rub, the more itchy your eyes will get. Instead, take medication or use eye drops for dry eyes.
Have an eye test. Don’t forget to see an eye specialist for a checkup regularly, if possible 40 But medical equipment can detect them. All are best treated when found early. For most people, unless there are problems, that means having your eyes tested by a health care provider every one to two years.
A. Stop bad habits.
B. Smoking is bad for eyesight.
C. Not all eye problems are noticeable.
D. If the lenses are dark enough, it’s good for our eyes.
E. Similarly, we can do something indeed to protect our eyes.
F. Surprisingly, dark lenses are not necessarily the most protective.
G. Staring at them can leave your eyes exhausted and make you see things vaguely.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in class with my students, snowflakes were flying by the classroom windows. “Snow! It’s snowing!” shouted one of my students. Another whispered, “I love snow.” The anticipation of more snow drew a dozen students to the windows. “Take a break,” I said, sharing in the magic of the snow.
The students’ excitement was evident as plans for snowmen, skiing and snowball fights filled the air. Cold winds beat the snow against the windows. The cold air came in through the window frame. But none of the students seemed to feel it. They all rushed out of the classroom.
With big eyes, a girl student screamed, “I’m making a snowman.” I smiled back to her. “Ms Lee, would you like to have a snow fight with us ” a boy student said to me. I just waved and silently admired the snow from the classroom. Nine minutes passed before I knew it.
“One minute to say goodbye to the snow and return to your seats,” I said loudly. All of the students had to continue with my class. I devoted myself to explaining knowledge to them and almost forgot about the snow. Suddenly, the vice headmaster tapped on the door. I turned and saw her smile. She reminded, “Early dismissal (解散)!” “Are we going home early ”asked my class with surprise. I nodded. As soon as the announcement was made over the loudspeaker, I was the only one in the classroom.
Seeing students picked up in cars by their family including their parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and so on, I headed out for my car and prepared to go home. However, I found my car was covered with much snow. I grabbed my ice scraper and brushed off the outer layer of the snow. Once inside the car, I grasped the steering wheel and started the car. The roads were quite white. The snow was still coming down fast. I had to inch my way forward. I could feel tightness in my neck and shoulders. When I was almost home, suddenly, the front tires of my car slid into a snowbank. I tried to back up but failed. My hands were trembling with cold. I really needed help.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Anybody available I need help,” I cried with despair when a car was passing by. The car driver came back with a shovel (铲子) and said,“Madam, I can shovel the snow off the road to your home.”

W: Have a seat, please. Tell me why you want this job.
M: I’ve worked as a music teacher my whole life, and I want a change. As I love music so much, I think working as a host at a radio station would be perfect for me.
W: The duties of this job include answering the phones and sending e-mails. How are you with these things
M: I’m experienced in sending e-mails, and when I was a teenager, I worked at a TV station answering phone calls. I guess it’s pretty similar.

Being an Honest Student
As far as we know, honesty is one of the virtues of the Chinese nation, which is playing a vital role in our life. Without honesty, it is impossible to get trust and recognition of others, let alone achieving anything.
We can do something to be an honest student. To begin with, it’s of great significance to be honest with our teachers. If meeting with difficulties in study, we’re supposed to ask them for help. Secondly, we should strictly observe the examination regulations. Only by showing our real grades can we know the direction of our next effort. Last but not least, we should always keep our promises to anyone else. It’s the basis for building harmonious relationship with others.
第二节：
参考范文：
“Anybody available I need help,” I cried with despair when a car was passing by. The snow was coming down more heavily. When I was at a loss, the car pulled over and the car driver knocked at the window of my car and asked, “Madam, may I help you ” Opening the car window, I nodded. With one smooth reverse, he freed my car. But seeing the white slope not far away from my home, I felt my heart was pounding in my chest. He looked at me and then went to his car to take a shovel from the trunk, which seemed to be prepared for a snowy day.
The car driver came back with a shovel (铲子) and said, “Madam, I can shovel the snow off the road to your home.” I was grateful to him, and the tightness in my neck and shoulders faded away. There was a short walk from my home. He soon cleared the road of snow. I was finally able to drive the car into my yard. I was about to thank him again when his car disappeared into the snow. Not until the next day did I find out that he was the uncle of my student. Since then, snow has been my reminder of accepting kindness and inspiring me to pass on kindness.

As an ordinary man, I have a special habit to confess. Whenever I walk down the street, I offer to pour a bottle of water from the nearby river into the dirt of a street tree. It’s just my personal habit, and I think it doesn’t make a difference, but I’d like to do it. I mention this in light of a campaign launched by the Arboricultural Association to call on the public to water new street trees.
The UK government has committed to planting millions of trees to help meet climate targets and aims to increase tree cover from 14.5% to 16.5% by 2050. However, as John Parker, chief executive of the Arboricultural Association, says, “Planting a tree is just the start of the story. The health and survival of new urban trees is threatened by increasingly dry weather. It is recommended that the newly planted trees be given about 50 litres of water per week for the first three years.” While in rural settings, the newly planted trees and woods can take care of themselves and adapt, the challenging conditions mean trees in the urban areas need a bit more care.
Long ago, I assumed that the good of street trees was to soften the hard edges of urban environments. But, what an underestimation of tree power that was! A study from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities illustrates they can provide inspiration or a calming atmosphere in an otherwise crowded city. Trees are responsible for easing urban heat island effects and air and pollutant filtration. And I think they provide the habitat for wildlife, especially birds.
Trees can’t run away. Unfortunately for them and fortunately for urban residents, city trees are stuck with us. If we want to continue enjoying all the good they do, we should try to understand their needs and do all that we can to support them. A bottle of water won’t do much, but next time you all together have a bucket of water to pour, you know what big effect will happen.
24. What does the author think of his personal habit
A. It is of little effect. B. It is enforced.
C. It is of much significance. D. It is common.
25. What does John Parker say about urban trees
A. They have started to be watered regularly. B. More work needs to be done for their living.
C. They are threatened by the increasing flood. D. The newly planted ones can’t look after themselves.
26. What can we learn about street trees from paragraph 3
A. Their usage is overrated.
B. Their value is thought highly of by the public.
C. They benefit residents physically and mentally.
D. They can thoroughly solve environmental problems.
27. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. When in need, ask for it. B. Tall trees catch much wind.
C. Many hands make light work. D. Misfortunes seldom come alone.

UNESCO has added Italian opera singing, along with more than 50 other practices from around the world, to its list of Intangible (无形的) Cultural Heritage. The agency created the list in 2008 to help safeguard traditions, festivals, rites of passage, art forms and other practices across the globe. It also recognizes culturally and historically significant buildings, structures and properties with its well-known list of World Heritage Sites. It originates from the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023.
With UNESCO’s decision, opera singing joins several other Italian traditions on the list, like pizza making. “Performed by people of all genders, Italian opera singing is associated with specific facial expressions and body gestures and involves a combination of music, drama, acting and staging,” writes UNESCO.
The practice dates back to the Medici family in Florence in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Jacopo Peri’s Dafne, which was performed for the Medicis in 1598, is considered the first Italian opera. “This is a confirmation of what we’ve already known: Opera singing is a world excellence,” says Gennaro Sangiuliano, Italy’s culture minister, in a statement.
A wide variety of cultural practices, food dishes and festivals also made the list at UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage meeting in Botswana. The committee narrowed down nominations submitted by 72nations, ultimately selecting 55 to add to the list. The full list now includes 730 practices from 145 countries. Six of the new additions are “in need of urgent safeguarding”, according to UNESCO. These include Syrian glassblowing, olive cultivation in Türkiye and a traditional Malaysian performance called Mek Mulung. The non-urgent additions include several annual events, such as the Rotterdam Summer Carnival in the Netherlands, the Sango Festival of Oyo in Nigeria, the Junkanoo in the Bahamas and the Shuwalid festival in Ethiopia.
28. Why was Italian opera singing added to the UNESCO’s list
A. To prove its perfection. . To preserve this art form.
C. To strengthen its competitiveness. D. To celebrate this art’s 20th anniversary.
29. What does UNESCO mention about Italian opera singing in paragraph 2
A. Its features. B. Its prospects. C. Its origin. D. Its cost.
30. What can we infer about Italian opera singing from Gennaro Sangiuliano’s words
A. It has a long history. B. It awaits confirmation.
C. It has received high recognition. D. It comes from a well-known performance.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Art Forms in Italy
B. The Introduction to UNESCO
C.730 Practices Are Ready to Be Added to the UNESCO’s List
D. The UNESCO’s List Welcomes Italian Opera Singing &. Other Practices

The Great Wall in China is an iconic cultural landmark that has stood for a long time. But the long structure is also at risk of disappearing because of natural erosion. Now, scientists have discovered that some parts of the wall are better conserved from the elements than others. Some plants have created a layer of biocrusts (生物外壳) on some sections of the wall, according to a study published in a journal. In addition to strengthening the wall, the biocrusts shield it from wind and water. The researchers report the “living cover” also insulates the wall from temperature changes.
The Great Wall was constructed and connected over thousands of years ago to help create a “united defense system” for China’s northern border. Some sections were built using rammed earth (夯土), a process that involves compacting natural materials like stones and soil to create firm structures. Those materials also provided an ideal habitat for organisms to grow—and over time, they created a biocrust layer atop the rammed earth.
Scientists in China wanted to better understand the wall’s biocrusts, so they took samples from a roughly 300-mile-long section. When they analyzed the samples, they found that 67%of the area they studied was covered in biocrusts. They also conducted a series of experiments to compare the bare and biocrust-covered samples. The biocrust-covered sections held up better in tests measuring their strength and stability. Some biocrust samples were three times stronger than the bare rammed earth samples.
The new research could help info rm conservation strategies for the Great Wall and other heritage structures created from rammed earth. Some conservationists have supposed that biocrusts may cause historic structures to worsen more quickly, but this study suggests otherwise. Instead, biocrusts helpfully combine the functions of several conventional measures into one nature-based, eco-friendly and long-lasting strategy.
32. What does the underlined word “insulates” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Protects. B. Takes. C. Removes. D. Creates.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How the Great Wall was built. B. What rammed earth once was like.
C. What role the Great Wall played in history. D. How biocrusts were formed on the Great Wall.
34. What can the findings be used to do
A. Conserve plant samples. B. Stop the formation of biocrusts.
C. Help keep rammed earth heritage structures. D. Replace conventional building protection measures.
35. How is the text mainly organized
A. By analyzing the methods of wall restoration.
B. By comparing different sections of the Great Wall.
C. By tracking the historical significance of the Great Wall.
D. By explaining a new scientific discovery and its impacts.

Invest in high-quality sunglasses. Protecting eyes from sunlight is very important. To protect your eyes, wear sunglasses certified to block out 99% to 100% of UVA and UVB light The lenses (镜片) are essential 37 In fact, if the lenses are dark but not UV protected, that’s worse for your eyes.
Take a break from screens. There is some medical evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes 38 One of the best ways to prevent that is drinking four or five glasses of water a day. If you still feel your eyes are dry or tired, use eye drops to keep your vision clear.
39 Firstly, stop smoking. Obviously, it is hard to stop smoking, but it is not only bad for your lungs but also harmful to your eyes. It causes dry eyes and even increases the risk of eye diseases. Besides, try not to rub your eyes often. Rubbing makes infection worse. The more you rub, the more itchy your eyes will get. Instead, take medication or use eye drops for dry eyes.
Have an eye test. Don’t forget to see an eye specialist for a checkup regularly, if possible 40 But medical equipment can detect them. All are best treated when found early. For most people, unless there are problems, that means having your eyes tested by a health care provider every one to two years.
A. Stop bad habits.
B. Smoking is bad for eyesight.
C. Not all eye problems are noticeable.
D. If the lenses are dark enough, it’s good for our eyes.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in class with my students, snowflakes were flying by the classroom windows. “Snow! It’s snowing!” shouted one of my students. Another whispered, “I love snow.” The anticipation of more snow drew a dozen students to the windows. “Take a break,” I said, sharing in the magic of the snow.
The students’ excitement was evident as plans for snowmen, skiing and snowball fights filled the air. Cold winds beat the snow against the windows. The cold air came in through the window frame. But none of the students seemed to feel it. They all rushed out of the classroom.
With big eyes, a girl student screamed, “I’m making a snowman.” I smiled back to her. “Ms Lee, would you like to have a snow fight with us ” a boy student said to me. I just waved and silently admired the snow from the classroom. Nine minutes passed before I knew it.
“One minute to say goodbye to the snow and return to your seats,” I said loudly. All of the students had to continue with my class. I devoted myself to explaining knowledge to them and almost forgot about the snow. Suddenly, the vice headmaster tapped on the door. I turned and saw her smile. She reminded, “Early dismissal (解散)!” “Are we going home early ”asked my class with surprise. I nodded. As soon as the announcement was made over the loudspeaker, I was the only one in the classroom.
Seeing students picked up in cars by their family including their parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and so on, I headed out for my car and prepared to go home. However, I found my car was covered with much snow. I grabbed my ice scraper and brushed off the outer layer of the snow. Once inside the car, I grasped the steering wheel and started the car. The roads were quite white. The snow was still coming down fast. I had to inch my way forward. I could feel tightness in my neck and shoulders. When I was almost home, suddenly, the front tires of my car slid into a snowbank. I tried to back up but failed. My hands were trembling with cold. I really needed help.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Anybody available I need help,” I cried with despair when a car was passing by. The car driver came back with a shovel (铲子) and said,“Madam, I can shovel the snow off the road to your home.”

参考范文：
Being an Honest Student
As far as we know, honesty is one of the virtues of the Chinese nation, which is playing a vital role in our life. Without honesty, it is impossible to get trust and recognition of others, let alone achieving anything.
We can do something to be an honest student. To begin with, it’s of great significance to be honest with our teachers. If meeting with difficulties in study, we’re supposed to ask them for help. Secondly, we should strictly observe the examination regulations. Only by showing our real grades can we know the direction of our next effort. Last but not least, we should always keep our promises to anyone else. It’s the basis for building harmonious relationship with others.
第二节：
参考范文：
“Anybody available I need help,” I cried with despair when a car was passing by. The snow was coming down more heavily. When I was at a loss, the car pulled over and the car driver knocked at the window of my car and asked, “Madam, may I help you ” Opening the car window, I nodded. With one smooth reverse, he freed my car. But seeing the white slope not far away from my home, I felt my heart was pounding in my chest. He looked at me and then went to his car to take a shovel from the trunk, which seemed to be prepared for a snowy day.
The car driver came back with a shovel (铲子) and said, “Madam, I can shovel the snow off the road to your home.” I was grateful to him, and the tightness in my neck and shoulders faded away. There was a short walk from my home. He soon cleared the road of snow. I was finally able to drive the car into my yard. I was about to thank him again when his car disappeared into the snow. Not until the next day did I find out that he was the uncle of my student. Since then, snow has been my reminder of accepting kindness and inspiring me to pass on kindness.
