No matter how many times Sandy has rescued an animal, she never gets over the casual cruelty some people display toward unwanted pets. When she lost her own “angel” dog, she started Logan’s Legacy to help other pets in need.
Sandy recently received a phone call about a small dog, possibly a puppy, that had been abandoned on a street. Since she was too far to help on, she called a friend who lives nearby to get there as soon as possible. When her friend Tom arrived, he found a tiny dog curled(蜷缩)in a tight ball with the chain firmly tied to a tree. Someone had left food and water for her, but the puppy was too frightened to eat or drink. Once gathered up in a blanket and placed into the back seat of the car, she began to get weak quickly from dehydration(脱水)and exhaustion.
The moment she got some water and food, the puppy made a rapid recovery, and her lovely and sweet personality could finally shine! “We have named her CiCi,” Sandy added, “She is feeling so much better. She has been observed at my place and she is doing great. This sweet baby girl will never feel fearful again, and won’t ever be abandoned again.” After winning hearts at Sandy’s office, CiCi has been approved for adopting and will soon leave for her new life.

The tea that has delighted and fascinated the world for thousands of years has finally received top-level global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. China’s traditional tea-making was added on Tuesday to the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.
The traditional tea processing techniques and associated social practices in China consist of knowledge, skills and practices concerning the management of tea plantations, picking of tea leaves, manual(手工的)processing, drinking and sharing of tea. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. Tea producers have developed six categories of tea: green, yellow, dark, white, oolong and black teas. Together with reprocessed teas, such as flower-scented teas, there are over 2, 000 tea products in China.
Tea-related customs are not only found across the country, but also influence the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road and trade routes. Tea is ubiquitous in Chinese people’s daily life, as steeped(浸泡)or boiled tea is served in families, workplaces, tea houses, restaurants and temples, etc. It is also an important part of socialization and ceremonies such as weddings and sacrifices. The practice of greeting guests and building relationships within families and among neighbors through tea- related activities is common to multiple ethnic groups, providing a sense of shared identity and continuity for the communities.
In China, 44 registered national-level intangible cultural heritage entries are related to tea. There are over 40 vocational colleges and 80 universities that have set up majors in tea science or tea culture, resulting in over 3,000 graduates specializing in tea production and art every year, according to the ministry.
China now has 43 items on the intangible cultural heritage list, continuing to be the most enlisted country in the world.
8. What can be learnt from the passage
A. Chinese producers developed 44 categories of tea.
B. Tea is quite popular with people all over the country.
C. More than 2,000 tea products could be found in China.
D. There’ re about 300 graduates specializing in tea production every year.
9. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” probably mean
A. rare B. common C. temporary D. available

The Internet’s carbon footprint is as bad as air travel. While it is difficult to measure precisely, estimates place it at over two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions(排放)—the same as the air travel.
Information may appear to spread around the world unseen to our eyes, but it actually passes through enormous data centers placed strategically about the globe, which store, organize and deliver everyone’s data. These centers are extremely energy intensive. In the EU, they consume close to three percent of its total energy usage and also require lots of water to prevent their computers from overheating. In the US, about a fifth of data centers draw water from already stressed water sources.
A typical spam email(垃圾邮件)emits around 0.03g of CO2 emissions, though longer messages read on a laptop can go all the way up to 26g. Now multiply that by 333 billion(roughly the number of emails that get sent every day in 2022). That puts all those work emails into perspective. One study found if every British adult sent one less “thank you” email a day, it would save 16, 433 tons of carbon a year. It even predicted that the ICT industry could account for up to a fifth of the world’s energy consumption by 2025.
However, there are measures that we can take to reduce our digital carbon footprint. For instance, you can unsubscribe from marketing and other spam emails and only subscribe to newsletters that you still regularly read. Have regular data checks where you delete old contact lists and other documents that no longer have any use. Keep a clean inbox and delete emails you no longer need.
12. Why does the author make a comparison in the beginning
A. To present the digital carbon footprint.
B. To emphasize the importance of air travel.
C. To advise people not to travel by airplane.
D. To inform the disadvantages of the Internet.
13. What can we infer about data centers
A. It enjoys a wide popularity.
B. It has various kinds of functions.
C. It causes large energy consumption.
D. It has quite a complex mode of operation.
14. What’s the purpose of mentioning the figures in Paragraph 3
A. To draw the readers’ attention.
B. To illustrate a certain information.
C. To highlight the change of CO2 emission.
D. To stress the importance of reducing CO2 emission.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards reducing digital carbon footprint
A. Neutral. B. Optimistic.
C. Unfavorable. D. Concerned.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了在数字时代，网络数据的储存、组织和传送会造成巨大的碳排放，文章建议了几种方法可以减少数字碳足迹。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The Internet’s carbon footprint is as bad as air travel. While it is difficult to measure precisely, estimates place it at over two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions—the same as the air travel.(互联网的碳足迹和航空旅行一样糟糕。虽然难以精确测量，但据估计，它占全球温室气体排放量的2%以上，与航空旅行相同)”可推知，作者在第一段将互联网碳足迹和航空旅行碳足迹相比是为了展示数字碳足迹。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“These centers are extremely energy intensive. In the EU, they consume close to three percent of its total energy usage and also require lots of water to prevent their computers from overheating. In the US, about a fifth of data centers draw water from already stressed water sources.(这些中心都是能源密集型的。在欧盟，电脑消耗了近3%的总能源消耗，而且还需要大量的水来防止电脑过热。在美国，大约五分之一的数据中心从已经紧张的水源中取水)”可推知，数据中心造成了大量的能源消耗。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“A typical spam email(垃圾邮件)emits around 0.03g of CO2 emissions, though longer messages read on a laptop can go all the way up to 26g. Now multiply that by 333 billion(roughly the number of emails that get sent every day in 2022).(一封典型的垃圾邮件的二氧化碳排放量约为0.03克，而在笔记本电脑上阅读较长的信息的二氧化碳排放量可高达26克。现在再乘以3330亿封（大概是2022年每天发送的电子邮件数量）)”及“One study found if every British adult sent one less “thank you” email a day, it would save 16, 433 tons of carbon a year. It even predicted that the ICT industry could account for up to a fifth of the world’s energy consumption by 2025.(一项研究发现，如果每个英国成年人每天少发一封“感谢”邮件，一年就能减少16433吨碳排放。它甚至预测，到2025年，信息通信技术产业将占到世界能源消耗的五分之一)”可知，本段通过列举数字说明了网络数据能造成巨大的碳排放，因此，这一段是为了强调减少二氧化碳排放的重要性。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, there are measures that we can take to reduce our digital carbon footprint.(然而，我们可以采取一些措施来减少我们的数字碳足迹)”及下文提到的几种方法可知，作者认为数字碳足迹问题可以改善，持乐观态度。故选B。
第二节(共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分)
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Being a people-pleaser(讨好型人格)is second nature to many people. We tend to calm those around us, often regardless of our own needs. Actually, it is unhealthy to do so. ___16___ Here are some tips one can follow.
Be sure of your own value.
You were created differently from every other human. Overcoming people-pleasing starts with clearly knowing the value of your thoughts and actions, and that your presence matters. By pleasing people at the cost of your own desires, you’re forgetting that you are here for a reason.
___17___
When something goes wrong, it’s quite natural for me to say sorry. It is pretty true of you if you’re a people-pleaser too. However, before words of apology trip from your lips, stop and look at the situation. Apologize sincerely and timely on condition that it’s really your fault. Otherwise just let it go.
Keep saying no.
___18___ Indeed, getting over people-pleasing requires people to understand that you can say no and mean it. Saying no may be hard, but the more you say it, the more you understand how important it is to say.
Speak up.
People-pleasers like to agree with the masses. We are quiet, listening, waiting to agree on whatever decision is reached. Many times, I simply stayed quiet and agreed, even when I really didn’t like the plans at all. And bitterness surged when I was asked to deal with what I didn’t want. ___19___ Even sometimes you have to shout so as to be heard.
Without any doubt, it’s difficult to go against the nature that you tend to please everyone around you. ___20___ It’s the same with me. The best part is we get the grace of a new day to try all over again.
A. Say sorry actively.
B. Apologize properly.
C. It seems common to agree to everything.
D. Chances are that you’ll fail into old patterns midway.
E. What counts much is to change some of your daily habits.
F. Saying no is always the first choice for many people to make.
G. Learn to use your voice bravely if you’d like to overcome people-pleasing.
【答案】16. E 17. B 18. C 19. G 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了如何改变“讨好型人格”习惯的一些方法。
16题详解】
上文“Being a people-pleaser(讨好型人格)is second nature to many people. We tend to calm those around us, often regardless of our own needs. Actually, it is unhealthy to do so.(成为一个讨人喜欢的人是许多人的第二天性。我们往往会不顾自己的需要，让周围的人平静下来。事实上，这样做是不健康的)”讲到了讨好型人格往往会不顾自己，讨好别人，是不健康的，下文“Here are some tips one can follow.(这里有一些建议可以遵循)”及下文介绍如何改变这种人格的方法，E选项“重要的是改变你的一些日常习惯”表示要改变这种习惯，从而改变讨好型人格，承上启下。故选E。
【17题详解】
空处为小标题，后文“However, before words of apology trip from your lips, stop and look at the situation. Apologize sincerely and timely on condition that it’s really your fault. Otherwise just let it go.(然而，在你道歉之前，停下来看看情况。真诚而及时地道歉，前提是这真的是你的错。否则就随它去吧)”表明不要一味地道歉，如果真是自己的错误才应该道歉，B选项“适当道歉”可以概括本小段主旨。故选B。
【18题详解】
下文“Indeed, getting over people-pleasing requires people to understand that you can say no and mean it.(事实上，克服讨好别人的习惯需要人们明白，你可以说不，而且是认真的)”并结合本段小标题可知，此处表示要勇敢拒绝，C选项“一切都同意似乎很常见”表示同意是常见的，与后文形成对比，引出下文的观点，适合作为段首句。故选C。
【19题详解】
上文“Many times, I simply stayed quiet and agreed, even when I really didn’t like the plans at all. And bitterness surged when I was asked to deal with what I didn’t want.(很多时候，我只是保持沉默并同意，即使我真的不喜欢这些计划。当我被要求处理我不想要的东西时，痛苦就会涌上心头)”表示作者保持沉默勉强接受不喜欢的计划，但是内心痛苦，下文“Even sometimes you have to shout so as to be heard.(甚至有时候你必须大声喊叫才能让别人听到)”可知，空处表示应说出自己的想法，G选项“如果你想克服取悦别人的缺点，就要学会勇敢地使用自己的声音”符合主旨。故选G。
【20题详解】
上文“Without any doubt, it’s difficult to go against the nature that you tend to please everyone around you.(毫无疑问，想要违背你喜欢取悦身边每一个人的天性是很难的)”表示改变习惯是困难的，下文“It’s the same with me. The best part is we get the grace of a new day to try all over again.(我也一样。最好的部分是我们得到了新的一天的恩典，可以重新开始)”表示作者也是一样，但是可以不停尝试，D选项“很有可能你会中途陷入旧的模式”符合上文说明改变天性是困难的这一观点，表示有可能会失败，符合语境。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了Philips先生在街上向一位贫穷的老妇人买香蕉的故事。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：刚做完他的工作，菲利普斯先生正要去杂货店买一些香蕉，但他看到一个可怜的老太太在街上卖新鲜香蕉，所以似乎从她那里买一些更方便。分析句子可知，空处作saw的宾语补足语，lady与sell构成主动关系，表示动作正在进行时，用现在分词。故填selling。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。根据Mr. Philips was going to the grocery shop to buy some bananas可知，菲利普斯先生本打算去店里买水果，但是看到街上有人卖，所以从街上买似乎更方便，空处缺少形容词的比较级，convenient对应的比较级为more convenient。故填more convenient。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：老妇人每公斤香蕉要价7美元。charge+金钱+for sth.为固定短语，意思为：开价多少钱卖……。故填for。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：“但是我经常去的商店每公斤卖5美元！”菲利普斯先生说。分析句子可知，the shop为先行词，其后为限制性定语从句，the shop作从句中from的宾语，表示物，用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
40题详解】
考查副词。句意：当他想为自己挑选的香蕉付款时，收银员告诉他每公斤的价格是10美元。根据前文菲利普斯觉得路边7美元一公斤的香蕉卖贵了，想要去5美元一公斤的店里买，结合the price per kilo was $10可知，空处前后为转折关系，表示“然而”，用逗号隔开，用however。放在句首，首字母大写。故填However。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：菲利普先生对他的态度感到非常恼火，决定把香蕉放回去，回到老太太身边。空处放在felt后面作表语，表示人的感受，用annoyed，意思为：恼火的。故填annoyed。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：她立刻认出了他，对他说:“先生，这个价钱我不能卖。”空处修饰动词recognize，用副词作状语。故填instantly。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：现在，请给我两公斤！two后搭配可数名词复数。故填kilos。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：我很感激你的好意。空处作appreciate的宾语，表示“善意”用kindness，不可数名词。故填kindness。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：从那天起，她的生活比以前好多了。make a living意思为：谋生，为固定短语，空处放在much前面，much以辅音音素开始发音，不定冠词用a。故填a。

第二节读后续写(满分20分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段文字，150字左右，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In Rome there was once a poor slave whose name was Androclus. His master was a cruel man, and so unkind to him that Androclus ran away. He hid himself in a wild wood for many days; but there was no food to be found, and he grew so weak and sick that he thought he would die. So one day he climbed into a cave and lay down to wait for death, and soon he was fast asleep.
After a while, a great noise woke him up. A lion had come into the cave, and was roaring loudly. Androclus was very afraid, for he felt sure that the beast would kill him. Soon, however, he saw the lion was not angry, but that his foot were hurt.
Then Androclus grew so courageous that he started to examine the lion’s paw to see what was the matter. The lion stood quite still, and rubbed his head against the man’s shoulder. He seemed to say, “I know that you will help me.”
Androclus lifted the paw from the ground, and saw that it was a long, sharp thorn that hurt the lion so much. He took the end of the thorn between his fingers; then he gave a strong, quick pull, and out it came. The lion was full of joy. He jumped about like a dog, and licked the hands and feet of his new friend.
The two became such good friends that Androclus found his new life a very happy one. One day some soldiers found Androclus in the cave and took him back to Rome. It was the law at that time that every slave who ran away from his master should fight a hungry lion. For each of these occasions, a fierce lion was locked up for a while without food, and a time was set for the fight.
Paragraph 1
When the day came, thousands of people crowded in to see the fight.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
The people, who had expected to see the man killed by the lion, were filled with wonder.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
When the day came, thousands of people crowded in to see the fight. The door opened, and poor Androclus was brought in. He was almost dead with fear and saw that there was no pity in the thousands of faces staring at him. Then the hungry lion rushed in. Oh, it was his old friend, the lion from the cave. People saw Androclus put his arms around the lion’s neck and the lion lay down at his feet, licking them lovingly.
The people, who had expected to see the man killed by the lion, were filled with wonder. Androclus stood up before them and told how he and the beast had lived together in the cave. “I am a man,” he said, “but no man has ever befriended me. This poor lion only has been kind to me; and we love each other as brothers.” The people were not so bad that they could be cruel to the poor slave now. “Live and be free!” they cried, “Give both of them their liberty!” And so Androclus was set free, and the lion was given to him. They lived together in Rome for many years.
【解析】

The tea that has delighted and fascinated the world for thousands of years has finally received top-level global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. China’s traditional tea-making was added on Tuesday to the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.
The traditional tea processing techniques and associated social practices in China consist of knowledge, skills and practices concerning the management of tea plantations, picking of tea leaves, manual(手工的)processing, drinking and sharing of tea. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. Tea producers have developed six categories of tea: green, yellow, dark, white, oolong and black teas. Together with reprocessed teas, such as flower-scented teas, there are over 2, 000 tea products in China.
Tea-related customs are not only found across the country, but also influence the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road and trade routes. Tea is ubiquitous in Chinese people’s daily life, as steeped(浸泡)or boiled tea is served in families, workplaces, tea houses, restaurants and temples, etc. It is also an important part of socialization and ceremonies such as weddings and sacrifices. The practice of greeting guests and building relationships within families and among neighbors through tea- related activities is common to multiple ethnic groups, providing a sense of shared identity and continuity for the communities.
In China, 44 registered national-level intangible cultural heritage entries are related to tea. There are over 40 vocational colleges and 80 universities that have set up majors in tea science or tea culture, resulting in over 3,000 graduates specializing in tea production and art every year, according to the ministry.
China now has 43 items on the intangible cultural heritage list, continuing to be the most enlisted country in the world.
8. What can be learnt from the passage
A. Chinese producers developed 44 categories of tea.
B. Tea is quite popular with people all over the country.
C. More than 2,000 tea products could be found in China.
D. There’ re about 300 graduates specializing in tea production every year.
9. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” probably mean
A. rare B. common C. temporary D. available
10. How does the author emphasize the promotion of tea culture in Paragraph 4
A. By listing figures. B. By making definitions.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons.
11. In which kind of book may this text appear
A A textbook. B. A travel journal.
C. A story book. D. A cultural magazine.

The Internet’s carbon footprint is as bad as air travel. While it is difficult to measure precisely, estimates place it at over two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions(排放)—the same as the air travel.
Information may appear to spread around the world unseen to our eyes, but it actually passes through enormous data centers placed strategically about the globe, which store, organize and deliver everyone’s data. These centers are extremely energy intensive. In the EU, they consume close to three percent of its total energy usage and also require lots of water to prevent their computers from overheating. In the US, about a fifth of data centers draw water from already stressed water sources.
A typical spam email(垃圾邮件)emits around 0.03g of CO2 emissions, though longer messages read on a laptop can go all the way up to 26g. Now multiply that by 333 billion(roughly the number of emails that get sent every day in 2022). That puts all those work emails into perspective. One study found if every British adult sent one less “thank you” email a day, it would save 16, 433 tons of carbon a year. It even predicted that the ICT industry could account for up to a fifth of the world’s energy consumption by 2025.
However, there are measures that we can take to reduce our digital carbon footprint. For instance, you can unsubscribe from marketing and other spam emails and only subscribe to newsletters that you still regularly read. Have regular data checks where you delete old contact lists and other documents that no longer have any use. Keep a clean inbox and delete emails you no longer need.
12. Why does the author make a comparison in the beginning
A. To present the digital carbon footprint.
B. To emphasize the importance of air travel.
C. To advise people not to travel by airplane.
D. To inform the disadvantages of the Internet.
13. What can we infer about data centers
A. It enjoys a wide popularity.
B. It has various kinds of functions.
C. It causes large energy consumption.
D. It has quite a complex mode of operation.
14. What’s the purpose of mentioning the figures in Paragraph 3
A. To draw the readers’ attention.
B. To illustrate a certain information.
C. To highlight the change of CO2 emission.
D. To stress the importance of reducing CO2 emission.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards reducing digital carbon footprint
A. Neutral. B. Optimistic.
C. Unfavorable. D. Concerned.

Being a people-pleaser(讨好型人格)is second nature to many people. We tend to calm those around us, often regardless of our own needs. Actually, it is unhealthy to do so. ___16___ Here are some tips one can follow.
Be sure of your own value.
You were created differently from every other human. Overcoming people-pleasing starts with clearly knowing the value of your thoughts and actions, and that your presence matters. By pleasing people at the cost of your own desires, you’re forgetting that you are here for a reason.
___17___
When something goes wrong, it’s quite natural for me to say sorry. It is pretty true of you if you’re a people-pleaser too. However, before words of apology trip from your lips, stop and look at the situation. Apologize sincerely and timely on condition that it’s really your fault. Otherwise just let it go.
Keep saying no.
___18___ Indeed, getting over people-pleasing requires people to understand that you can say no and mean it. Saying no may be hard, but the more you say it, the more you understand how important it is to say.
Speak up.
People-pleasers like to agree with the masses. We are quiet, listening, waiting to agree on whatever decision is reached. Many times, I simply stayed quiet and agreed, even when I really didn’t like the plans at all. And bitterness surged when I was asked to deal with what I didn’t want. ___19___ Even sometimes you have to shout so as to be heard.
Without any doubt, it’s difficult to go against the nature that you tend to please everyone around you. ___20___ It’s the same with me. The best part is we get the grace of a new day to try all over again.
A. Say sorry actively.
B. Apologize properly.
C. It seems common to agree to everything.
D. Chances are that you’ll fail into old patterns midway.
E. What counts much is to change some of your daily habits.
F. Saying no is always the first choice for many people to make.
G. Learn to use your voice bravely if you’d like to overcome people-pleasing.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段文字，150字左右，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In Rome there was once a poor slave whose name was Androclus. His master was a cruel man, and so unkind to him that Androclus ran away. He hid himself in a wild wood for many days; but there was no food to be found, and he grew so weak and sick that he thought he would die. So one day he climbed into a cave and lay down to wait for death, and soon he was fast asleep.
After a while, a great noise woke him up. A lion had come into the cave, and was roaring loudly. Androclus was very afraid, for he felt sure that the beast would kill him. Soon, however, he saw the lion was not angry, but that his foot were hurt.
Then Androclus grew so courageous that he started to examine the lion’s paw to see what was the matter. The lion stood quite still, and rubbed his head against the man’s shoulder. He seemed to say, “I know that you will help me.”
Androclus lifted the paw from the ground, and saw that it was a long, sharp thorn that hurt the lion so much. He took the end of the thorn between his fingers; then he gave a strong, quick pull, and out it came. The lion was full of joy. He jumped about like a dog, and licked the hands and feet of his new friend.
The two became such good friends that Androclus found his new life a very happy one. One day some soldiers found Androclus in the cave and took him back to Rome. It was the law at that time that every slave who ran away from his master should fight a hungry lion. For each of these occasions, a fierce lion was locked up for a while without food, and a time was set for the fight.
Paragraph 1
When the day came, thousands of people crowded in to see the fight.

Paragraph 2
The people, who had expected to see the man killed by the lion, were filled with wonder.
