In January when wildfires came within a kilometer of her home, Jessica Miles found herself reflecting on the bravery of firefighters in the Port Macquarie area.
Jessica said the tires had been frightening. “There were helicopters(直升机)flying around our house and smoke everywhere,” she said. Over a family dinner, the 12-year-old girl raised the idea of building a sculpture to honor the men and women on the wildfire front line and was greeted with support.
With artwork from the Hello Koalas Sculpture Trail on their doorstep, Jessica’s mother suggested she contact the organizers of the trail with her idea. In a message to Hello Koalas through a Facebook post. Jessica wrote: “I’ve recently thought of an idea as Australia has been facing disaster lately... The firefighters have risked their life and time to protect us. In recognition of their bravery, I wanted so share an idea I had about making a koala(考拉) in honor of the firefighters and to spread hope to Australia."
Hello Koalas director Margret Margret said while she had thought about creating a sculpture to honor Australia’s selfless and heroic firefighters in the past, Jessica’s message made her more determined than ever to make it happen. Having been involved in the Rural Fire Service(RFS),Ms. Meacher was also personally touched by summer’s wildfires: “So I really wanted to celebrate the local men and women who fought bravely to protect our community and to recognize all firefighters in Australia.” Ms. Meagher said.
Jessica, who is passionate about the environment and animals said she had been excited to receive such a positive response to her idea including her suggestion “it could have the RFS badge(章)painted on the koala or it could have a fireman’s jacket.” The new sculpture, Frankie Firefighter, created by artist Kim Staples, was unveiled(揭幕)this week and features both Jessica’s ideas.

Dance is one of the most wonderful forms of human communication. In many cultures, dance has both historic and cultural significance, which is communicated through learned gestures and expressions. Here are a bit more details about three of the world's most beautiful dances.
Kathakali
Kathakali is a storytelling dance, during which performers use a variety of gestures, and eyes and facial expressions to communicate meanings. Costumes, hair styles, makeup and face paint, and jewelry also all hold specific meanings in the performance of Kathakali. There are nine facial expressions used to express emotions ranging from sadness and anger to curiosity. Through their expressions, it should be completely clear to the viewer what the performer is intending to convey.
Tango
The dance has its roots in an African slave dance called candombe, which is also a type of music. One key factor of a candombe performance is a partnered dance, which has over time developed into the modern tango.If you can keep your eyes on one part of the tango, just focus on the dancers' legs and feet. The tango is typically performed low to the ground, with both performers' steps often taking place at the same time. It's complex and communicative.
Flamenco
One of the most interesting facts about the flamenco is that it began as a song. Over time, flamenco developed to include its now-famous passionate accompanying dance. One of the key factors of flamenco is palmas. It may look like simple, rhythmic clapping, but palmas are performed at different speeds,and strengths, and it is essential that the flamenco dancer understands how to make use of his or her hands as part of the performance.
24.Kathakali is a dance for performers to _____________
A. pass on information to each other B. tell a story and express emotions
C. exchange ideas with the audience D. show costumes, hair styles, makeup and face paint
25.What should you pay attention to when watching a tango
A. The dancers' arms and hands. B. The dancers' eyes and hands.
C. The dancers' facial expressions. D. The dancers' legs and feet.
26. The passage is written to _______________
A. introduce three of the world's most beautiful dances
B. emphasize the importance of human communication
C. promote the development of passionate accompanying dances
D. attract readers to join in different forms of human communication

More than 30 year and S10 billion later, the James Webb Space Telescope finally left Earth. The observatory was lifted skyward by an Ariane rocket from the Kourou spaceport in French Guiana. Is flight to orbit lasted just under half an hour, with a signal confirming a successful outcome picked p by a ground antenna(天线)at Malindi in Kenya.
Webb, named after one of the architects of the Apollo Moon landings, is the successor to the Hubble telescope. Engineers working with the US, European and Canadian space agencies have built
the new observatory to be100 times more powerful.
Webb's launch is only the start of what will be a complex series of initial activities over the next six months. The telescope is being put on a path to an observing station some 1.5 million km beyond the Earth. In the course of travelling to this location, webb will have to unpack itself from the folded
shape it adopted at launch.
This won't be easy, said NASA administrator Bill Nelson: “We have to realize there are still countless things that have to work and they have to work perfectly. But we know that in great reward,
there is great risk. And that's what this business is all about. And that's why we dare to explore.”
At the core of the new facility's capabilities is its 6.5m-wide golden mirror. This is almost three times wider than the primary reflector on Hubble. The enlarged optics(光学器件), combined with four super-sensitive instruments, should enable astronomers to look deeper into space— and thus
further back in time—than ever before.
A key target of Webb will be the pioneer stars that ended the darkness theorized to have dominated the whole universe shortly after the Big Bang more than 13.5 billion years ago. It was the nuclear reactions in these objects that would have created the first heavy atoms(原子)essential for life. Another goal for Webb will be to explore the atmospheres of distant planets. This will help
researchers work out whether these worlds are in any way habitable.
27. What can we learn about the new space telescope
A. An antenna helped it go into orbit.
B. It was named after a landscape architect.
C. It is a project of international cooperation.
Q It has reached its observing station.
28.What is Bill's attitude towards the project
A. Disapproving. B. Supportive C. Fearful. D. Uncertain.
29. Why can Webb look further back in time than Hubble
A. It is fitted with a more powerful engine.
B. It is capable of changing shapes.
C. It has a primary reflector.
D. It has a much bigger mirror
30.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Suggestions for astronomers. B. Origins of the universe.
C. Webb's limitations D. Webb's functions.
D
Every year around the world some 2. 2 million books are published. For most of these authors the writing process has relatively been unchanged since Mark Twain’s day in the late 19th century. Plot outlines and ideas are written down to be deciphered (解读), developed and refined over time.
These days, however, technology is increasingly making the life of an author a little easier. For Michael Green, a novelist, the need to use technology to simplify and streamline the writing process came when he was in the middle of writing his first book.
“I had all these documents on the deeper aspects of the world I was creating. I was worried about being able to keep track of it all. That’s when I switched into my more data science-minded approach to solving a complex problem with a lot of different pieces.” The end result was that Mr. Green created Lynit, a digital platform that helps authors visualize, plan and weave (编织) together the various elements—such as characters, plots, themes and key events. Mr. Green says that many novelists begin their work with merely a general idea of a plot or a particular character. With Lynit he says that the process of adding to this initial idea is simplified.
Experts, however, still caution against being overdependent on technologies aimed at helping writers.
“Technology can also be distracting (令人分心的), particularly if you’re one step away from social media, or jumping down a research hole,” says Melissa Haveman, a writer and author coach. “A quick five minutes can sometimes lead to hours of lost writing time. Authors can sometimes fall into the trap of trying everything in the hope that it will be the magic piece, which really just turns into another distraction.”
Yet Michael Green says he believes technology will become even more outstanding as a new generation of writers becomes more outstanding. “What I'm finding with the Generation Z and even younger writers is that they’re looking for technology to give them guidance,” he says, “They see it as a tool to learn and grow with, rather than extra work.”
12. What does the underlined word “refined” in the first paragraph mean
A. Improved. B. Concluded. C. Formatted. D. Exchanged.
13. What inspired Michael Green to create Lynit
A. Helping authors develop ideas. B. Solving complicated problems.
C. Recording all his documents. D. Simplifying authors’ initial ideas.
14. What does Melissa Have man think of “technology”
A. It helps one become more social. B. It is necessary for researches.
C. It is time-and-attention consuming. D. It leads to the authors’ disappointment.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Lynit—a New Platform for Writers.
B. Michael Green—A Pioneer in Technology.
C. Technology—Wherever It Leads the World.
D. Technology—A New Tool for Generation Z.

第三部分：书面表达 (共两节，32分)

阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要结构正确，书写工整，字迹清楚。
So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person, from busy schedules to long distances to a rather unexpected pandemic (流行病). Fortunately, thanks to modem technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But if you're someone who prefers typed out messages to verbal ones, you may want to reconsider. According to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you're talking to, you should call them instead of texting.
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.
In the study, researchers used various experiments to gauge connectedness. In one, they asked 20 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned it on people at random to do one or the other. Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better. “People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email, and they did not feel more awkward,” study co-author Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business, said in a statement.
In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication -whether video or audio only- made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via texting.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can "correspond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person".
Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore able to gauge the meaning behind the content without thinking about the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuations.”
40. What did the new study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology find
41. In the first experiment mentioned in the passage, how do people feel actually when they connected with an old friend by phone
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
According to Romanoff, the convenience of text or email lie in its controlled form of communication while a phone call is more convenient because of its instant access.
43. If you are going to reconnect old friends, will you text them or call them directly Why (In about 40 words)

【参考范文】. Dear James,
I’m writing to extend my sincere gratitude for your assistance to me.Hadn’t it been for your help. I wouldn’t have achieved such a wonderful result in the English speech contest.
To be honest,I didn’t have enough confidence in myself at first.So-I hesitated about whether to sign in the contest or not.It was you who encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and face the challenge.I still remember the days we spent together when you corrected my speech draft and pronunciation over and over again.At last I was overjoyed to win the first place in the competition.
I'm inspired to accept more challenges in the future and would-like to express my heartfelt thanks again!
...Yours sincerely.
