Kew Gardens is not only a popular tourist destination in London, but also a botanical garden and a research center that has the largest collection of living plants at a single site. So, let’s explore the Royal Botanical Gardens with CGTN’s reporter Robyn Dwyer.
Palm House
The first stop is the Palm House, a giant indoor rainforest with a wide range of plants. Visitors can enjoy these unique plants while researchers can study the secrets of these plants. Eatable plants such as cocoa tree and African oil palm are all preserved here to keep the diversity of food resources. At the same time, it houses many medical use plants, including some that are used to treat cancer.
Temperate House
Known as the world’s largest Victorian glasshouse, the Temperate House is home to 1,500 species of plants from temperate regions of the world. Some of the species kept here have gone extinct in the wild, such as Encephalartos woodii, a cycad from South Africa. And some are already extinct like Saint Helena olive, but the Kew has stored its DNA.
Mediterranean (地中海) Garden
In the Mediterranean Garden, one can see plants from the Southern Europe, such as rosemary, olives and cork oak. Walking in the garden, one can feel the non-indoor vibe (氛围) of the Mediterranean and learn about the economic as well as scientific uses of these plants.
On International Day for Biological Diversity this year, join CGTN to travel around the world’s national parks and reserves across seven continents. Our next program is to visit penguins and seals in the Antarctic Ice Aquarium Norway.
1. What do the three places have in common
A. They all store plants for medical use.
B. They all have plants of economic value.
C. They all house plants of seven continents.
D. They all own plants for scientific research.
2. Which one suits a visitor preferring outdoor sites

Recently, my husband and three kids were playing in the Mediterranean, swimming and floating in the picture-perfect sea. It was extremely beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes. I almost couldn’t believe my eyes.
My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wanted to do “one day”. It was one of the things we talked at length about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have.
Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on those plans.
We spent dozens of hours discussing, researching and planning. We had to learn how to “road school” our kids and arrange time off from work. We renewed our passports, and then packed our bags. We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how amazing the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels as young adults.
But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes on (阻止) our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out of the door in time for school. We needed a family time-out.
It was a wonderful two-month trip in Europe, full of incredible moments. And when we look back at our lives, I know we’ll be glad we did it. I know we’ll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.
4. What was the author’s attitude toward the trip when planning it
A. Worried. B. Calm. C. Stressed. D. Eager.
5. What does the underlined part “make good on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Change. B. Realize. C. Improve. D. Cancel.
6. What was the author’s main purpose of taking this trip
A. To teach her children to value life.
B. To allow her children to see the world.
C. To enjoy a family breakaway from their life routine.
D. To enable her children to learn something out of class.
7. How did the author feel about their two-month stay in Europe
A. Tired. B. Satisfied. C. Inspired. D. Disappointed.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】

Recent videos claiming that a school in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, serves pre-made meals to its students have caused heated discussions across the country. People doubt if pre-made meals, despite being convenient, are healthy and nutritious enough for growing teenagers.
Pre-made meals refer to half-finished or finished dishes that are already cooked or prepared, according to the China Cuisine Association. There are several types of pre-made foods, including ready-to-eat food, such as canned food or cooked food in packages, and ready-to-heat or ready-to-cook food, which requires heating or cooking before being served.
Many people tend to think that ready-to-heat and ready-to-cook foods are less nutritious because they usually need to be kept in freezers or refrigerators.
“Actually freezing does not cause a loss of nutrients,” Liu Junya, a 33-year-old dietitian in Beijing, told Teens. “Nutrient loss typically occurs during the heating or frying process.”
Vitamins from the B group and vitamin C found in meat and vegetables are heat-sensitive and can be lost during the process. By being heated or cooked twice or more, “pre-made foods can be less nutritious than freshly prepared and cooked foods,” Liu said.
Meanwhile, “many pre-made food companies weigh taste over nutrition,” said Liu. This leads to higher levels of salt and sugar in the food, which may lead to health problems.
Additives (添加剂) are also a major concern related to pre-made foods. In China, there are strict standards for food additives. Currently, China’s food industry has well-developed techniques to preserve pre-made foods without the overuse of additives. Some food can be sterilized (消毒) and then sealed after cooking, followed by low-temperature storage, allowing for a longer shelf life. However, it’s essential that customers buy pre-made meals from qualified food companies or supermarkets.
It is hoped that regulations (管理) on pre-made meals can be strengthened to better ensure nutrition and hygiene. “This way, pre-made meals will be more accepted by the public,” Liu said.
8. What can be learned about pre-made meals from the passage
A. They are usually costly and tasty.
B. They taste better than homemade food.
C. They are already partly or fully cooked.
D. They are high in sugar, salt and vitamins.
9. When does Liu Junya think nutrient loss typically occurs in pre-made foods
A. During cooking. B. During freezing.
C. During packaging. D. During sterilizing.
10. What does the author suggest consumers do about pre-made meals
A. Keep pre-made meals frozen. B. Check the cooking instructions.
C. Be careful of the additives used. D. Buy from reliable food suppliers.
11. What does Liu Junya think of pre-made meals
A. They are a convenient choice for all.
B. They are suitable for daily consumption.
C. They shoud be avoided for long-term health.
D. They can be more accepted if controlled properly.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了预制餐不为大众所接受的原因并且提出监管得当才能保证其营养健康。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Pre-made meals refer to half-finished or finished dishes that are already cooked or prepared, according to the China Cuisine Association. (根据中国烹饪协会的说法，预制餐是指已经煮熟或准备好的半成品或成品菜肴)”可知，预制餐指的是已经烹饪或准备好的半成品或成品菜肴。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Nutrient loss typically occurs during the heating or frying process.(营养损失通常发生在加热或油炸过程中)”可知，营养流失通常发生在烹饪过程中。故选A。

Since 2001, robotic tools have greatly affected the practice of surgery (外科手术). They have reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible.
One example is“keyhole surgery”, which normally requires surgeons to stand at awkward angles and make difficult movements with their hands to make a cut inside the patient. But in June 2022, surgeon James Ansell used 3D glasses and two joysticks (操纵杆) to control four robotic arms to perform a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor (癌症肿瘤). “My colleague said that this feels like cheating,” Ansell said to The Guardian.
Another area of surgery that has had major technological breakthroughs in recent years is telesurgery. Telesurgery, or remote surgery, is the use of technology that allows a surgeon to perform a procedure on a patient not in the same physical location.
Normally, telesurgery relies on a wired connection for fear that a wireless connection drops during surgery. But China has made several advancements in wireless telesurgery based on 5G technology.
China achieved the first 5G-based remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers, reported CGTN. More recently, a team of surgeons successfully completed remote micron-level eye surgery on rabbits located in a different city, reported China Daily. The rabbits were at the Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, but the surgical team who operated on them via a 5G robot were at the Hainan Eye Hospital in Haikou, Hainan province.
Looking to the future, people hope that remote surgery could become common to help heal injured soldiers on the battlefield while keeping surgeons at a safe distance. Some even believe that robotic systems, combined with AI, could one day surpass (超过) human surgeons.
But, in consideration of current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still have a long way to go.
12. What does the “keyhole surgery” example intend to show
A. The difficulty of robotic surgery.
B. The progress achieved by robotic tools.
C. The need for advanced 5D technology.
D. The physical challenges surgeons face.
13. What great achievement has China made in the field of telesurgery
A. Achieving remote surgery using a wired connection.
B. Completing remote eye surgery on humans successfully.
C. Doing the first wireless brain surgery with 5G technology.
D. Conducting the first 5G-based remote operation on rabbits.
14. What can be inferred about robots in the medical field
A. They still need improving.
B. They have been widely adopted.
C. They are currently in great demand.
D. They have surpassed human capabilities.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. The benefits of robotic surgery.
B. China’s achievements in surgery.
C. The development in medical robotics.
D. The use of 5G technology in robotic surgery.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是医疗机器人技术的进步。机器人工具在手术实践中引起了巨大的变化。它们大大减轻了外科医生通常承受的压力和体力要求，并使某些手术成为可能。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Since 2001, robotic tools have greatly affected the practice of surgery (外科手术). They have reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible. (自2001年以来，机器人工具已经彻底改变了手术实践。它们大大减轻了外科医生通常承受的压力和体力要求，并使某些手术成为可能。)”可知，第二段“keyhole surgery”是对第一段的举例，即机器人工具带来的进步。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“China achieved the first 5G-based remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers, reported CGTN. (据CGTN报道，2019年3月，中国实现了第一次基于5G的远程手术，在三亚的一名外科医生和北京的一名患者之间进行了脑部手术，距离总计近3000公里。)”可知，中国在远程手术方面实现了第一次基于5G的脑部手术。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But, in consideration of current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still have a long way to go. (但是，考虑到目前的技术限制和这些机器人的高昂成本，机器人完全接管手术可能还有很长的路要走。)”可知，机器人运用在医学领域的成本很高，由此可推断，他们的发展还有很长的路要走，还需要不断改善。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Since 2001, robotic tools have greatly affected the practice of surgery (外科手术). They have reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible. (自2001年以来，机器人工具已经彻底改变了手术实践。它们大大减轻了外科医生通常承受的压力和体力要求，并使某些手术成为可能。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了医疗机器人技术的进步。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国各地政府在推动城市绿化方面所采取的行动和措施。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：从社区之间的“口袋公园”到城市外围的森林公园，地方政府雄心勃勃地致力于使中国的城市更加绿色。需填入形容词作表语，需要的词义为“有雄心的”，即ambitious，故填ambitious。
【37题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：这就是如今城市中有了更多的公园的原因。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导表语从句，前一句中的“地方政府雄心勃勃地致力于使中国的城市更加绿色”是空后“这就是为什么如今城市中有了更多的公园”的原因，因此使用why引导表语从句，故填why。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这些休闲空间打开了森林，让游客们享受自然美景以及野生动物。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，forests是先行词，它在从句中作主语，指物，因此使用which引导定语从句，故填which。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：在城市地区，越来越多的公司和大学开始分享它们的绿色空间。area是可数名词，在句子中为泛指意义，需要变复数，故填areas。
【40题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：周围环绕着历史建筑，这个公园可以为游客提供更多休息的空间。分析句子结构可知，join 在句子中不作为谓语动词使用，句子主语 the park承受join的动作，因此使用join的过去分词作状语，故填Joined。
【41题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：以北京中央绿色森林公园为例。此处为固定短语take...as an example ，意为“以……为例”，故填as。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：自2020年开放以来，该公园已实现碳中和。根据句中的“Since it was opened in 2020”可知，主句的谓语动词reach使用现在完成时，主语 the park 为单数意义，故填has reached。
【43题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：这意味着虽然公园的设施会产生二氧化碳，但更多二氧化碳可以被那里的植物吸收。more承受take的动作，因此使用take的过去分词构成谓语动词“can be taken”，故填taken。
【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：该公园还充分回收雨水并创造绿色能源来供给公园使用。分析句子结构可知，supply在句子中不作为谓语动词使用，空格处及之后表示“目的”，因此使用动词不定式作目的状语，故填to supply。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：公园城市的概念最初于2018年提出。使用副词作状语修饰谓语动词“was put forward”，initial的副词是initially，故填initially。

A young and successful manager had a new Jaguar (捷豹), whose side door was dented (凹陷的). The damage was very noticeable, but the manager never bothered to repair it. He kept the dent there to remind him of one afternoon as well as this message: Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!
The manager was traveling down a neighborhood street on his way to work, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He noticed kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick crashed into the Jaguar’s side door! He braked sharply and drove the Jaguar backward to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, seized the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, “What was that all about and who are you ”
The young boy apologized. “Please sir…please, I’m sorry…I didn’t know what else to do,” he begged.
“I threw the brick because no one else would stop…” With tears rolling down his face, the little boy pointed to a spot just around a parked car.
“My elder brother fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up,” he said.
Still crying the boy asked the angry manager, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”
After hearing his words, the manager hurried to the spot with the boy. Another boy was lying on the ground bleeding. A quick look told him that the wound was serious, the disabled (丧失能力) must be taken to the hospital at once. But before that, he had to do something to stop the bleeding.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, he remembered that he always kept a first-aid kit in the car. Luckily, it was there. Without hesitation, the manager took out a bandage from the kit and wrapped it lightly around the wound. Then, he carefully moved the wounded into the back seat of the car. Meanwhile, the younger brother put the wheelchair into the trunk and sat aside looking after his brother. Hardly had the two brothers settled down when the manager drove toward the nearest hospital. On the way, he handed his phone to the younger brother to call their parents, and constantly comforted them.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the nearest hospital. The manager got out the wheelchair, seated the disabled in it and hurriedly pushed him to the emergency center. It was when the doctor declared the disabled was out of danger that they breathed a sigh of relief. At that time, the two boys’ parents arrived and expressed their heartfelt gratitude. Finally the manager drove his car to work, with the side door still dented and an old saying coming to his mind: “Roses given, fragrance in hand.”

Kew Gardens is not only a popular tourist destination in London, but also a botanical garden and a research center that has the largest collection of living plants at a single site. So, let’s explore the Royal Botanical Gardens with CGTN’s reporter Robyn Dwyer.
Palm House
The first stop is the Palm House, a giant indoor rainforest with a wide range of plants. Visitors can enjoy these unique plants while researchers can study the secrets of these plants. Eatable plants such as cocoa tree and African oil palm are all preserved here to keep the diversity of food resources. At the same time, it houses many medical use plants, including some that are used to treat cancer.
Temperate House
Known as the world’s largest Victorian glasshouse, the Temperate House is home to 1,500 species of plants from temperate regions of the world. Some of the species kept here have gone extinct in the wild, such as Encephalartos woodii, a cycad from South Africa. And some are already extinct like Saint Helena olive, but the Kew has stored its DNA.
Mediterranean (地中海) Garden
In the Mediterranean Garden, one can see plants from the Southern Europe, such as rosemary, olives and cork oak. Walking in the garden, one can feel the non-indoor vibe (氛围) of the Mediterranean and learn about the economic as well as scientific uses of these plants.
On International Day for Biological Diversity this year, join CGTN to travel around the world’s national parks and reserves across seven continents. Our next program is to visit penguins and seals in the Antarctic Ice Aquarium Norway.
1. What do the three places have in common

Recently, my husband and three kids were playing in the Mediterranean, swimming and floating in the picture-perfect sea. It was extremely beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes. I almost couldn’t believe my eyes.
My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wanted to do “one day”. It was one of the things we talked at length about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have.
Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on those plans.
We spent dozens of hours discussing, researching and planning. We had to learn how to “road school” our kids and arrange time off from work. We renewed our passports, and then packed our bags. We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how amazing the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels as young adults.
But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes on (阻止) our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out of the door in time for school. We needed a family time-out.
It was a wonderful two-month trip in Europe, full of incredible moments. And when we look back at our lives, I know we’ll be glad we did it. I know we’ll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.
4. What was the author’s attitude toward the trip when planning it
A. Worried. B. Calm. C. Stressed. D. Eager.
5. What does the underlined part “make good on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Change. B. Realize. C. Improve. D. Cancel.
6. What was the author’s main purpose of taking this trip
A. To teach her children to value life.
B. To allow her children to see the world.
C. To enjoy a family breakaway from their life routine.
D. To enable her children to learn something out of class.
7. How did the author feel about their two-month stay in Europe
A. Tired. B. Satisfied. C. Inspired. D. Disappointed.
C
Recent videos claiming that a school in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, serves pre-made meals to its students have caused heated discussions across the country. People doubt if pre-made meals, despite being convenient, are healthy and nutritious enough for growing teenagers.
Pre-made meals refer to half-finished or finished dishes that are already cooked or prepared, according to the China Cuisine Association. There are several types of pre-made foods, including ready-to-eat food, such as canned food or cooked food in packages, and ready-to-heat or ready-to-cook food, which requires heating or cooking before being served.
Many people tend to think that ready-to-heat and ready-to-cook foods are less nutritious because they usually need to be kept in freezers or refrigerators.
“Actually freezing does not cause a loss of nutrients,” Liu Junya, a 33-year-old dietitian in Beijing, told Teens. “Nutrient loss typically occurs during the heating or frying process.”
Vitamins from the B group and vitamin C found in meat and vegetables are heat-sensitive and can be lost during the process. By being heated or cooked twice or more, “pre-made foods can be less nutritious than freshly prepared and cooked foods,” Liu said.
Meanwhile, “many pre-made food companies weigh taste over nutrition,” said Liu. This leads to higher levels of salt and sugar in the food, which may lead to health problems.
Additives (添加剂) are also a major concern related to pre-made foods. In China, there are strict standards for food additives. Currently, China’s food industry has well-developed techniques to preserve pre-made foods without the overuse of additives. Some food can be sterilized (消毒) and then sealed after cooking, followed by low-temperature storage, allowing for a longer shelf life. However, it’s essential that customers buy pre-made meals from qualified food companies or supermarkets.
It is hoped that regulations (管理) on pre-made meals can be strengthened to better ensure nutrition and hygiene. “This way, pre-made meals will be more accepted by the public,” Liu said.
8. What can be learned about pre-made meals from the passage
A. They are usually costly and tasty.
B. They taste better than homemade food.
C They are already partly or fully cooked.
D. They are high in sugar, salt and vitamins.
9. When does Liu Junya think nutrient loss typically occurs in pre-made foods
A. During cooking. B. During freezing.
C. During packaging. D. During sterilizing.
10. What does the author suggest consumers do about pre-made meals
A. Keep pre-made meals frozen. B. Check the cooking instructions.
C. Be careful of the additives used. D. Buy from reliable food suppliers.
11. What does Liu Junya think of pre-made meals
A. They are a convenient choice for all.
B. They are suitable for daily consumption.
C. They shoud be avoided for long-term health.
D. They can be more accepted if controlled properly.
D
Since 2001, robotic tools have greatly affected the practice of surgery (外科手术). They have reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible.
One example is“keyhole surgery”, which normally requires surgeons to stand at awkward angles and make difficult movements with their hands to make a cut inside the patient. But in June 2022, surgeon James Ansell used 3D glasses and two joysticks (操纵杆) to control four robotic arms to perform a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor (癌症肿瘤). “My colleague said that this feels like cheating,” Ansell said to The Guardian.
Another area of surgery that has had major technological breakthroughs in recent years is telesurgery. Telesurgery, or remote surgery, is the use of technology that allows a surgeon to perform a procedure on a patient not in the same physical location.
Normally, telesurgery relies on a wired connection for fear that a wireless connection drops during surgery. But China has made several advancements in wireless telesurgery based on 5G technology.
China achieved the first 5G-based remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers, reported CGTN. More recently, a team of surgeons successfully completed remote micron-level eye surgery on rabbits located in a different city, reported China Daily. The rabbits were at the Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, but the surgical team who operated on them via a 5G robot were at the Hainan Eye Hospital in Haikou, Hainan province.
Looking to the future, people hope that remote surgery could become common to help heal injured soldiers on the battlefield while keeping surgeons at a safe distance. Some even believe that robotic systems, combined with AI, could one day surpass (超过) human surgeons.
But, in consideration of current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still have a long way to go.
12. What does the “keyhole surgery” example intend to show
A. The difficulty of robotic surgery.
B. The progress achieved by robotic tools.
C. The need for advanced 5D technology.
D. The physical challenges surgeons face.
13. What great achievement has China made in the field of telesurgery
A. Achieving remote surgery using a wired connection.
B. Completing remote eye surgery on humans successfully.
C. Doing the first wireless brain surgery with 5G technology.
D. Conducting the first 5G-based remote operation on rabbits.
14 What can be inferred about robots in the medical field

The manager was traveling down a neighborhood street on his way to work, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He noticed kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick crashed into the Jaguar’s side door! He braked sharply and drove the Jaguar backward to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, seized the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, “What was that all about and who are you ”
The young boy apologized. “Please sir…please, I’m sorry…I didn’t know what else to do,” he begged.
“I threw the brick because no one else would stop…” With tears rolling down his face, the little boy pointed to a spot just around a parked car.
“My elder brother fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up,” he said.
Still crying, the boy asked the angry manager, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”
