You undoubtedly were asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up ” when you were a young child. Don’t worry! Nobody actually expected you to start career planning at the kindergarten (幼儿园) stage.
However, the timing of career planning matters a lot. While no age is ever too late to start making progress toward the career of your dreams, it is better to start today instead of tomorrow. Planning your career early enough comes with many advantages, from preparing you for challenges ahead to giving you much-needed experience.
Then___▲____ A good first step is to perform a self-evaluation. Make a list of your strongest skills and interests. Then, close your eyes and imagine your ideal day at work. Would it be peaceful or challenging Would you like to work with young people Animals Computers When you imagine your future, what does it include These questions can help you focus and narrow down your choices. You should also consider factors beyond personal preferences. For example, what qualifications (资格) are required to enter the field If you don’t yet have the qualifications or experience that you need, what education do you need to prepare yourself
Regardless of where you’re at —whether you get good grades in exams or not—higher education gives you the shoes to take that next step. Because you’re equipped with practical skills and knowledge through education, and education is always something that employers (雇 主) like to see. On top of that, by gaining additional skills in communication and problem solving and achieving your goals, you can also increase your confidence. And studies have shown that greater confidence leads to greater career progress.

Most modern cities have taken action to reduce traffic jams (交通阻塞) and improve air quality. But if they want to become more livable, they should think about more ambitious goals.
Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, has set a good example. It has planned to ban (禁止) gasoline and diesel vehicles, leaving only electric ones by 2030. The ban is part of the Clean Air Action Plan. The plan started in 2020 when all diesel cars built before 2005 were banned from entering the city center. In 2022, public buses that cause pollution were banned. Finally all vehicles that use engines powered by gasoline and diesel will no longer be allowed into the city by 2030.
The advantages of such bans are clear. Traffic jams waste large amounts of fuel and time each year. Pollution from cars makes climate change more serious. It is also bad for people’s health. Amsterdam’s government says car pollution reduces the life expectancy of its citizens (市民) by more than a year.
But will everyone support such plan For most people, giving up driving means life will become less convenient. Perhaps Amsterdam can help make this change to electric cars easier. For example, it can think about improving public transportation. It can also create a larger number of attractive public spaces for pedestrians. People who drive electric cars may be given discounts (折扣) on parking fees. And it can be more open to new ways of getting around, such as bike-sharing.
Saying no to non-electric vehicles is hard. But let’s think seriously about our well-being and that of our planet. Making our cities more livable has to become an urgent goal.

Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life While many Chinese people speak Putonghua, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save and preserve (保护) them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.
This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5. 6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.
Why is it important to protect the dialect culture According to the British language expert Harold Palmer, “dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language exactly shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of
an area,” he said.
Researcher Zhang Hongming expressed his worry over the disappearance of dialects. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. At the same time, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said. “So how did China make this big library A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, top expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers. The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.
36. What is the main purpose of the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project

B. Dialects help improve cultural communication and tourism.
C. Dialects are an expression of local history, beliefs, and biases.
D. Dialects should be replaced by international languages like English.
40. What is the situation of Wu dialect speakers in Shanghai and Suzhou nowadays

In today’s world full of digital gadgets (工具), handwritten notes and lists are becoming less common. However, did you know that there’s something special about writing with a pen on paper
Recently, researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology studied the effects of handwriting. They found that when you write your shopping list or school notes by hand, you remember things better. To test this, they asked 12 grown-ups and 12 children to take part in a fun experiment. The members wore a cap with sensors (传感器) that could monitor their brain activity. They were asked to write and type while their brain activity was monitored.
The results showed that both children and grown-ups had more brain activity when they were writing by hand compared to typing. According to the study’s author, Van der Meer, writing by hand uses many senses like touch, sight, and hearing. It’s like a great exercise for your brain, which helps you learn better. Van der Meer suggests that children should start drawing and writing by hand, especially in school. She knows that it might take longer to learn to write neatly, but it’s very important for brain development.
When writing by hand, you make precise movements with your hand to form letters, which helps your brain. This is different from typing on a keyboard, where you press the same keys repeatedly. So handwriting keeps your brain in a continuous learning mode (模式).
In short, while keyboards are useful for typing articles, remember that writing things out by hand can be good for your brain. It can make learning more exciting and fun!
41. Who organized the study on handwriting and brain activity
A. Different university educators.
B. Teachers concentrating on typing skills.
C. Researchers from the Norwegian University.
D. Adults and kids from the technology industry.
42. How did the members in the experiment monitor brain activity
A. Using a smartphone app. B. Wearing a cap with sensors.
C. Writing on a digital computer. D. Watching videos on a computer.
43. What does the underlined word “precise” in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese
A. 笨拙的 B. 精确的 C. 温柔的 D. 理性的
44. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
( ① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2,. . . )
A. B. C. D.
45. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The Magic of Handwriting for shopping.
B. The Power of Writing by Hand for Learning.
C. Typing is better for learning than handwriting.
D. Handwriting keeps the brain completely still.
【答案】41. C 42. B 43. B 44. A 45. B

In the past few years, cars have become smarter and smarter, In more than nine cities, there are driverless taxis in China. Across the world, many “smart roads” have been in practice, and more are being built. Some new technologies are being put to use.
● Roads that recharge (给……充电)
Global warming has forced us to search for new energy sources. Why not look to the roads With the right technologies, cars around the world could be producing energy as they go.
Piezoelectric (压电的) roads mix traditional asphalt (柏油) with new materials. They use vibrations (震动) from passing cars to produce electricity.
Piezoelectricity, in fact, is nothing new. It was invented in 1880.
However, it has never been widely used before now. Lancaster University is going to change that. It has been improving the technology, including developing roadside batteries that can store the electricity.
● Built-in brain
Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send people updates on weather and traffic situations, and recharge electric cars as they drive.
This seems to be a dream, but a company has almost made it come true. By sensing the weight of a vehicle, the company’s smart roads can record the speed of each wheel. After having collected traffic data (数据), the roads will send it to the drivers.
● Roads that never freeze
It can be dangerous to drive in snowy weather. A tech company has developed the snowless roads. When they feel snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up, melting (使融化) the snow or ice away. The project has been successfully tested on a few roads and in some car parks.
56. What do Piezoelectric roads use to produce electricity
A. Traditional asphalt. B. Batteries in the roadside.
C. Expensive materials. D. Vibrations from passing cars.
57. What does the underlined word “They” refer to
A. Roads of the future. B. People on the road.
C. Traffic situations. D. Electric cars.
58. Which of the following can “Built-in brain” do
① Record the speed of wheels. ② Sense the weight of a vehicle.
③ Melt the snow or ice away. ④ Send the traffic data to drivers.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①③④
59. What are “Roads that never freeze” built for
A. Car parking. B. Vehicle heating. C. Safe driving. D. Electricity storing.
60. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To introduce the “smart roads”. B. To prove the value of electric cars.
C. To describe roadside batteries. D. To show dangers of snowy weather.
【答案】56. D 57. A 58. B 59. C 60. A
【解析】本文主要从不同的几个方面介绍了道路运用的高科技。
56.细节理解题。根据“They use vibrations (震动) from passing cars to produce electricity.”可知压电式道路用来自过往车辆的振动来发电。故选D。
57.代词指代题。根据“Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send people updates on weather and traffic situations, and recharge electric cars as they drive.”可知未来的道路也许能够知道有多少人在上面。它们可以向人们发送最新的天气和交通状况，并在电动汽车行驶时为其充电。they指代上文提到过的“Roads of the future”。故选A。
58.细节理解题。根据“This seems to be a dream, but a company has almost made it come true. By sensing the weight of a vehicle, the company’s smart roads can record the speed of each wheel. After having collected traffic data (数据), the roads will send it to the drivers.”可知Built-in brain可以记录车轮的速度、感知车辆的重量并将交通数据发送给驾驶员。故选B。
59.细节理解题。根据“It can be dangerous to drive in snowy weather. A tech company has developed the snowless roads. When they feel snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up, melting (使融化) the snow or ice away.”可知建造“永不结冰的道路”是为了安全驾驶。故选C。
60.主旨大意题。本文主要从不同的几个方面介绍了道路运用的高科技。写作目的是介绍“智能道路”。故选A。

Being misunderstood can make us feel small and uncomfortable. But in fact, what makes us great can be born from being misunderstood. I finally understood the point of being misunderstood.
One summer day, I filled an exercise book with different raindrop shapes in order to prove that the way a rainbow (彩虹) worked was impossible. And all I could prove was that rainbows were unbelievable. However, every second day a shower would mock me with another rainbow. My teacher thought I simply tried to make him look like a fool, so I was punished. Actually, I wasn’t trying to mock my teacher. I just wanted to find out how rainbows worked.
It’s hard when you are misunderstood. We have all been there, said things too quickly with too little thought. Those who hear our words don’t want to understand our thoughts. And people judge (判断) our actions without trying to understand the background behind the decisions.
We see the impossible and we want to know who, how, where or what. The search drives us, and we question, we look harder, and we trouble those people around us with endless details of the things we see. Sometimes, your opinion of something impossible can’t be seen by others. As a result, we are slowly taught to doubt what we see, even to the point we doubt ourselves. But in our opinion, our voice matters. And we believe our actions are important and the things we see are worth seeing. We cannot bear to be told our actions are wrong and we cannot bear to be told we are blind, and that what we see is not there. In fact, it doesn’t make us feel good. Having got the point of being misunderstood, I learned to let it go and felt much better.
61. Why was the writer punished in his school that summer
A. He lost his exercise book.
B. He had a fight with his classmates.
C. His teacher found him trouble others.
D. His teacher thought he treated him as a fool.
62. What does the underlined word “mock” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese
A. 钦佩 B. 嘲弄 C. 包容 D. 模仿
63. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How people hear our words.
B. Why misunderstanding happens.
C. How people judge our actions.
D. What background means for decisions.
64. What causes us to explore more when we see the impossible
A. The search for answers. B. The lesson from mistakes.
C. The idea of doubting ourselves. D. The need to get endless details.
65. What does the writer think of being misunderstood
A. Funny. B. Boring. C. Acceptable. D. Unbelievable.
【答案】61. D 62. B 63. B 64. A 65. C
【解析】本文作者主要讲述了自己被误解的经历。
61.细节理解题。根据“My teacher thought I simply tried to make him look like a fool, so I was punished.”可知，因为他的老师认为他把他当傻瓜对待。故选D。
62.词义猜测题。根据“My teacher thought I simply tried to make him look like a fool”和“I wasn’t trying to mock my teacher”可知，作者的老师认为他把他当傻瓜对待，但是作者并不是嘲弄老师。故选B。
63.段落大意题。根据“We have all been there, said things too quickly with too little thought. Those who hear our words don’t want to understand our thoughts. And people judge (判断) our actions without trying to understand the background behind the decisions.”可知，我们都有过这样的经历，说得太快，想得太少。那些听我们说话的人并不想了解我们的想法。人们在判断我们的行为时，并没有试图理解这些决定背后的背景。所以第三段讲述了为什么误解会发生，故选B。
64.细节理解题。根据“We see the impossible and we want to know who, how, where or what. The search drives us, and we question, we look harder, and we trouble those people around us with endless details of the things we see. ”可知，寻找答案促使我们去探索更多。故选A。
65.推理判断题。根据“We cannot bear to be told our actions are wrong and we cannot bear to be told we are blind, and that what we see is not there. In fact, it doesn’t make us feel good. Having got the point of being misunderstood, I learned to let it go and felt much better”可知，我们不能忍受被告知我们的行为是错误的，我们不能忍受被告知我们是盲目的，我们所看到的并不存在。事实上，这并不会让我们感觉良好。明白了被误解的意思后，我学会了放手，感觉好多了。所以作者认为被误解是可以接受的，故选C。

Technology is helping people to give first aid. It helps save lives faster. Technology not only makes our lives easier, it can also save lives. People who have sudden health emergencies (紧急情况) like heart disease or accidents may only have a few minutes to live unless they get help. We can use technology to offer help faster. Let’s look at some technological inventions that are helping save lives.
Smart app
Some people in the US made an app called Pulse Point. It invites common people trained in CPR (心肺复苏术) to use it. The app knows the users’ locations. If someone needs first aid nearby, a user will get a message asking them to help.
Magic gel (凝胶)
The gel can stop someone bleeding (流血) in just 10 seconds. It is made from plants. It can stick to a wound and help seal (密封) it. It was invented more than 10 years ago but was only allowed to be used on animals. Now in the US, it has been allowed to be used on humans, too. And the person from the US was only 17 years old when he invented it!
Flying aid
If people get injured or need help in hard-to-reach areas, drones (无人机) can be of great use. Because they can fly, drones can often offer help faster than people. And they can also make helping people safer for rescuers (营救者) working in dangerous conditions. The drones can have a camera that can watch your health. They can also carry useful things, like blankets or a life jacket to save someone from drowning (溺水).
56. How many technological inventions are mentioned in the text

If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. That would make you young, creative, connected, world-wide, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too.
Right But what do other people think about your generation (一代)
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (溺爱) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter (直升机) parents”. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.

Staffan Lindeberg is a medical teacher at the University of Lund in Sweden. He was interested in a Stone Age diet. In the early 1990s, he began to study the diet of the people on the island of Kitava as it was very close to the Stone Age diet. While there, he found that people did not suffer from (患有) heart attacks, diabetes (糖尿病), being overweight and many other diseases common in western countries.
As a result of his findings, he decided to test patients in Sweden to see how such a diet would affect them. Fourteen patients followed a Stone Age diet while another fifteen followed a Mediterranean diet, also healthy with lots of fruit and vegetables. All of the patients in the tests had high blood sugar levels, most suffered from diabetes and all had heart problems.
At the end of three months, the group following the Mediterranean diet had reduced their blood sugar levels by a small amount but those following the Stone Age diet had much lower levels of sugar in their blood. The patients in both groups also lost weight although the level of sugar in the blood and the patients’ weight didn’t seem to be related.
So, what is it about the Stone Age diet that can make us healthier The diet contains (包含) some meat, fish, vegetables and nuts (坚果) but it doesn’t contain any milk products or wheat, and there is no salt.
The next question is whether the Kitava people are healthier than us. After all, their life expectancy (预期寿命) is much lower. According to Staffan Lindeberg, this is not as simple as we may think. Because of their poor healthcare, there is more chance of them dying at a young age. However, if people on Kitava manage to reach fifty, they are likely to live as long as people in more developed countries.
41. What does the underlined word “them” refer to (指代) in Paragraph 2
A. Staffan Lindeberg’s findings. B. Patients in Sweden.
C. Diseases in western countries. D. People on the island of Kitava.
42. What did the test show

Most people are afraid of snakes. They may think snakes are dangerous and ugly. With more and more rain falling and the hot weather, it’s time for snakes to be active. Living in the city, it never crosses your mind that we might meet them face to face.
There are more than 2,000 kinds of snakes on the earth. Most of them live in mountains or forests, and in cities sometimes we can find them in grass or other dark places.

Snakes usually have green, yellow or black skins, which make it difficult for their endemics to find them. In winter they hibernate in holes. They look for a hole to stay inside, on the ground, or in a rock or a tree. They do not wake up again until spring comes. Snakes feed on mice, frogs, bird eggs and so on.
Snakes play an important part in nature. We can make useful medicine with them. Without their help, the rodents (啮齿动物) will be out of control. But many of them are in danger of disappearing.

Climate change brings dangers to people, then what another problem are we facing now It’s underground climate change. With the development of cities, the rising underground temperature is causing the ground to heat up and deform (变形).
In the last three years, scientists had put more than 150 temperature sensors (感应器) under some big cities. The places include subway tunnels (地下室) of buildings. The temperatures they recorded were surprising. For example, air temperatures in underground structures (结构), scientists created computer models to see how temperatures will influence the ground until 2051.
When heated, some soft materials may become smaller, and other materials, may become bigger. The models showed that warmer temperatures can cause the ground to rise upward by as much as 1.2 centimeters, or sink downward by as much as 0.8 centimeters. This may even cause the ground to crack (开裂).
As scientists have already known a lot about underground climate change, future plans for cities should take it into consideration. Materials that take in heat can be used to keep the heat from entering the ground. They also pointed out that the rising temperature could be seen as an opportunity. City planners can try to collect heat
underground and send it above for heating.
41. The writer starts his topic by ________.
A. listing numbers B. offering advice
C. asking a question D. giving an example
42. Where did scientists put temperature sensors
A. Basements. B. Forests. C. Desserts. D. Oceans.
43. Underground climate change may cause ________.
A. more earthquakes B. changes in the ground
C. contractions in buildings D. the growing visit up ward by 0.8 cm
44. What did the scientists suggest in the last paragraph
A. We should plan trees. B. We should use take-in heat materials.
C. We should collect heat on the ground. D. We should create more computer models.
45. What can be the best title for the text
A. Development of Cities B. Underground Structures

C
When we first moved here, we didn’t have a garden. Mike and I talked about making a large vegetable garden somewhere in our yard, but we couldn’t agree on where. Before we went ahead and dug up the grass, we spent some time thinking about where it would work best. At last, we chose an old sandbox in our front yard to become our garden.
We dreamed about a lively garden with lots of vegetables. We asked many people what we should do to turn this sandbox into a space, and then plants could grow in it. And they gave us lots of ideas. My sister was the most knowledgeable, so we listened mostly to her. At first, Mike made a wood fence (栅栏) and I painted it with the kids. We chose a darker color because it would fit our light grey house.
Next, Mike dug 17 holes. Then we filled them with soil. It was still too cold to plant anything, so for days I just stared out of the window at these holes. To me, it looked much too untidy. I advised to fill those holes back and dig new ones. This time we ended up with 10. Much better.
Over the next few weeks, I worked on getting everything planted in my garden. I started by planting green onions. But I was too excited and planted them too early. Right away it was clear that they weren’t going to survive. I had to give them up and try something else. Then my next-door neighbor gave me red roses to put in my garden. A few days later we went to a greenhouse and came back not with green onions but peppers, tomatoes and so on. Clearly the vegetable and flower garden was slowly becoming our dream garden. Oh well!
I love the way it turned out. This garden will always remind me of my sister.

“I have no special talent. I’m only passionately curious.” This famous quote from Albert Einstein might tell the reason for his success. When Newton discovered gravity, and when Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, their curiosity was greatly satisfied. If they hadn’t been curious, what a loss for humans!
There is a common truth that intellectual curiosity (求知欲）contributes to school performance more than intelligence. Some studies also show there are benefits of curiosity in improving the long-term level of learning and
memory, and a lot of positive results are connected with curiosity.
It has been known that both animals and humans are willing to take a risk to satisfy their curiosity despite knowing that the result will remain unchanged. Despite there being different views on the reason for curiosity, most experts reach an agreement that like the way the stomach looks for food, our brain looks for knowledge. People and animals are eager to know things because getting that information means a reward.
An interesting thing is that our brain will release a pleasure-related chemical when it has been given new information, making seeking information much like eating — another pleasant activity. Researchers newly found that increasing the release of the chemical greatly increased the curiosity in animals. However, how exactly the chemical plays a role still remains a mystery.
Considering the present level of research on curiosity and the driving force of curiosity, including scientific curiosity, more research should be carried on in this field. It’s safe to say that curiosity itself will help uncover curiosity. And remember even though the idiom says “Curiosity kills the cat”, it ends with satisfaction bringing it back.

Last year, a primary school in Jiangxi Province made a decision. It would no longer prepare meals in its own canteen (食堂). Instead, it would serve its students pre-made (预制的) food. The move quickly became a hot topic across the country. Many parents said that they were worried about food safety. Some of them even sent homemade meals to school at lunchtime every day.
The Ministry of Education warns against introducing pre-made meals to schools. That’s mainly because there are not yet any national standards for such food. The market for pre-made meals has been developing quickly over the past few years. In 2022, there were more than 60,000 related companies in China. And the number is still growing. By 2026, the market will have reached more than one trillion yuan. What has made pre-made meals so
popular They have many advantages. They’re quick and convenient to prepare. They also have a long shelf life (保存期). However, parents’ worries are not without reason. Pre-made food may be acceptable every now and then, but few people eat it every day. Naturally, parents don’t want their children to do so, either.
In fact, pre-made meals are all prepared by central kitchens. They’re not necessarily unhealthy compared with freshly cooked food. The problem is how to make sure these companies follow all the hygiene (卫生) rules when they cook and store food. For now, the pre-made food industry still has a long way to go.
56. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To ask a question. B. To lead to the main topic.
C. To draw a conclusion. D. To raise a problem.
57. Why is the Ministry of Education against pre-made meals
A. Because it thinks that pre-made food is not safe.
B. Because pre-made meals are not so healthy as homemade meals.
C. Because no national standards are set for pre-made food.
D. Because pre-made meals are too expensive.
58. What do parents think of pre-made meals according to Paragraph 2
A. Quick and convenient. B. Tasty and healthy.
C. Tasteless and unsafe. D. Worrying and unacceptable.
59. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Not all the companies follow the hygiene rules.

You undoubtedly were asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up ” when you were a young child. Don’t worry! Nobody actually expected you to start career planning at the kindergarten (幼儿园) stage.
However, the timing of career planning matters a lot. While no age is ever too late to start making progress toward the career of your dreams, it is better to start today instead of tomorrow. Planning your career early enough comes with many advantages, from preparing you for challenges ahead to giving you much-needed experience.
Then___▲____ A good first step is to perform a self-evaluation. Make a list of your strongest skills and interests. Then, close your eyes and imagine your ideal day at work. Would it be peaceful or challenging Would you like to work with young people Animals Computers When you imagine your future, what does it include These questions can help you focus and narrow down your choices. You should also consider factors beyond personal preferences. For example, what qualifications (资格) are required to enter the field If you don’t yet have the qualifications or experience that you need, what education do you need to prepare yourself
Regardless of where you’re at —whether you get good grades in exams or not—higher education gives you the shoes to take that next step. Because you’re equipped with practical skills and knowledge through education, and education is always something that employers (雇 主) like to see. On top of that, by gaining additional skills in communication and problem solving and achieving your goals, you can also increase your confidence. And studies have shown that greater confidence leads to greater career progress.
56. The question at the beginning of the text helps readers ________.

Most modern cities have taken action to reduce traffic jams (交通阻塞) and improve air quality. But if they want to become more livable, they should think about more ambitious goals.
Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, has set a good example. It has planned to ban (禁止) gasoline and diesel vehicles, leaving only electric ones by 2030. The ban is part of the Clean Air Action Plan. The plan started in 2020 when all diesel cars built before 2005 were banned from entering the city center. In 2022, public buses that cause pollution were banned. Finally all vehicles that use engines powered by gasoline and diesel will no longer be allowed into the city by 2030.
The advantages of such bans are clear. Traffic jams waste large amounts of fuel and time each year. Pollution from cars makes climate change more serious. It is also bad for people’s health. Amsterdam’s government says car pollution reduces the life expectancy of its citizens (市民) by more than a year.
But will everyone support such plan For most people, giving up driving means life will become less convenient. Perhaps Amsterdam can help make this change to electric cars easier. For example, it can think about improving public transportation. It can also create a larger number of attractive public spaces for pedestrians. People who drive electric cars may be given discounts (折扣) on parking fees. And it can be more open to new ways of getting around, such as bike-sharing.
Saying no to non-electric vehicles is hard. But let’s think seriously about our well-being and that of our planet. Making our cities more livable has to become an urgent goal.

Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life While many Chinese people speak Putonghua, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save and preserve (保护) them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.
This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5. 6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.
Why is it important to protect the dialect culture According to the British language expert Harold Palmer, “dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language exactly shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area,” he said.
Researcher Zhang Hongming expressed his worry over the disappearance of dialects. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak
the dialect. At the same time, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said. “So how did China make this big library A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, top expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers. The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.
36. What is the main purpose of the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project
A. To perfect all dialects. B. To save and preserve local dialects in China.
C. To control local dialects. D. To regard Putonghua as the only language.
37. How many dialects are in danger of disappearing according to the passage
A. 103. B. 350. C. 1,712. D. 6,000.
38. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. A dialect. B. The language. C. A talk. D. The project.
39. What does Harold Palmer think is the significance of protecting dialect cultures
A. Dialects are useful for learning Putonghua.
B. Dialects help improve cultural communication and tourism.
C. Dialects are an expression of local history, beliefs, and biases.
D. Dialects should be replaced by international languages like English.
40. What is the situation of Wu dialect speakers in Shanghai and Suzhou nowadays
A. Children aged 6 to 15 can speak the dialect easily.

In today’s world full of digital gadgets (工具), handwritten notes and lists are becoming less common. However, did you know that there’s something special about writing with a pen on paper
Recently, researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology studied the effects of handwriting. They found that when you write your shopping list or school notes by hand, you remember things better. To test this, they asked 12 grown-ups and 12 children to take part in a fun experiment. The members wore a cap with sensors (传感器) that could monitor their brain activity. They were asked to write and type while their
brain activity was monitored.
The results showed that both children and grown-ups had more brain activity when they were writing by hand compared to typing. According to the study’s author, Van der Meer, writing by hand uses many senses like touch, sight, and hearing. It’s like a great exercise for your brain, which helps you learn better. Van der Meer suggests that children should start drawing and writing by hand, especially in school. She knows that it might take longer to learn to write neatly, but it’s very important for brain development.
When writing by hand, you make precise movements with your hand to form letters, which helps your brain. This is different from typing on a keyboard, where you press the same keys repeatedly. So handwriting keeps your brain in a continuous learning mode (模式).
In short, while keyboards are useful for typing articles, remember that writing things out by hand can be good for your brain. It can make learning more exciting and fun!
41. Who organized the study on handwriting and brain activity
A. Different university educators.
B. Teachers concentrating on typing skills.
C. Researchers from the Norwegian University.
D. Adults and kids from the technology industry.
42. How did the members in the experiment monitor brain activity
A. Using a smartphone app. B. Wearing a cap with sensors.
C. Writing on a digital computer. D. Watching videos on a computer.
43. What does the underlined word “precise” in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese
A. 笨拙的 B. 精确的 C. 温柔的 D. 理性的
44. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
( ① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2,. . . )
A. B. C. D.
45. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The Magic of Handwriting for shopping.
B. The Power of Writing by Hand for Learning.
C. Typing is better for learning than handwriting.
D. Handwriting keeps the brain completely still.

In the past few years, cars have become smarter and smarter, In more than nine cities, there are driverless taxis in China. Across the world, many “smart roads” have been in practice, and more are being built. Some new technologies are being put to use.
● Roads that recharge (给……充电)
Global warming has forced us to search for new energy sources. Why not look to the roads With the right technologies, cars around the world could be producing energy as they go.
Piezoelectric (压电的) roads mix traditional asphalt (柏油) with new materials. They use vibrations (震动) from passing cars to produce electricity.
Piezoelectricity, in fact, is nothing new. It was invented in 1880.
However, it has never been widely used before now. Lancaster University is going to change that. It has been improving the technology, including developing roadside batteries that can store the electricity.
● Built-in brain
Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send people updates on weather and traffic situations, and recharge electric cars as they drive.
This seems to be a dream, but a company has almost made it come true. By sensing the weight of a vehicle, the company’s smart roads can record the speed of each wheel. After having collected traffic data (数据), the roads will send it to the drivers.
● Roads that never freeze
It can be dangerous to drive in snowy weather. A tech company has developed the snowless roads. When they feel snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up, melting (使融化) the snow or ice away. The project has been successfully tested on a few roads and in some car parks.
56. What do Piezoelectric roads use to produce electricity
A. Traditional asphalt. B. Batteries in the roadside.
C. Expensive materials. D. Vibrations from passing cars.
57. What does the underlined word “They” refer to
A. Roads of the future. B. People on the road.
C. Traffic situations. D. Electric cars.

① Record the speed of wheels. ② Sense the weight of a vehicle.
③ Melt the snow or ice away. ④ Send the traffic data to drivers.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①③④
59. What are “Roads that never freeze” built for
A. Car parking. B. Vehicle heating. C. Safe driving. D. Electricity storing.
60. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To introduce the “smart roads”. B. To prove the value of electric cars.

Being misunderstood can make us feel small and uncomfortable. But in fact, what makes us great can be born from being misunderstood. I finally understood the point of being misunderstood.
One summer day, I filled an exercise book with different raindrop shapes in order to prove that the way a rainbow (彩虹) worked was impossible. And all I could prove was that rainbows were unbelievable. However, every second day a shower would mock me with another rainbow. My teacher thought I simply tried to make him look like a fool, so I was punished. Actually, I wasn’t trying to mock my teacher. I just wanted to find out how rainbows worked.
It’s hard when you are misunderstood. We have all been there, said things too quickly with too little thought. Those who hear our words don’t want to understand our thoughts. And people judge (判断) our actions without trying to understand the background behind the decisions.
We see the impossible and we want to know who, how, where or what. The search drives us, and we question, we look harder, and we trouble those people around us with endless details of the things we see. Sometimes, your opinion of something impossible can’t be seen by others. As a result, we are slowly taught to doubt what we see, even to the point we doubt ourselves. But in our opinion, our voice matters. And we believe our actions are important and the things we see are worth seeing. We cannot bear to be told our actions are wrong and we cannot bear to be told we are blind, and that what we see is not there. In fact, it doesn’t make us feel good. Having got the
point of being misunderstood, I learned to let it go and felt much better.

Technology is helping people to give first aid. It helps save lives faster. Technology not only makes our lives easier, it can also save lives. People who have sudden health emergencies (紧急情况) like heart disease or accidents may only have a few minutes to live unless they get help. We can use technology to offer help faster. Let’s look at some technological inventions that are helping save lives.
Smart app
Some people in the US made an app called Pulse Point. It invites common people trained in CPR (心肺复苏术)
to use it. The app knows the users’ locations. If someone needs first aid nearby, a user will get a message asking them to help.
Magic gel (凝胶)
The gel can stop someone bleeding (流血) in just 10 seconds. It is made from plants. It can stick to a wound and help seal (密封) it. It was invented more than 10 years ago but was only allowed to be used on animals. Now in the US, it has been allowed to be used on humans, too. And the person from the US was only 17 years old when he invented it!
Flying aid
If people get injured or need help in hard-to-reach areas, drones (无人机) can be of great use. Because they can fly, drones can often offer help faster than people. And they can also make helping people safer for rescuers (营救者) working in dangerous conditions. The drones can have a camera that can watch your health. They can also carry useful things, like blankets or a life jacket to save someone from drowning (溺水).

If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. That would make you young, creative, connected, world-wide, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too.
Right But what do other people think about your generation (一代)
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (溺爱) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter (直升机) parents”. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.
61. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To show a social problem. B. To start a discussion.

A. They help them to face the challenges.
B. They guide and plan everything for them.

Staffan Lindeberg is a medical teacher at the University of Lund in Sweden. He was interested in a Stone Age diet. In the early 1990s, he began to study the diet of the people on the island of Kitava as it was very close to the Stone Age diet. While there, he found that people did not suffer from (患有) heart attacks, diabetes (糖尿病), being overweight and many other diseases common in western countries.
As a result of his findings, he decided to test patients in Sweden to see how such a diet would affect them. Fourteen patients followed a Stone Age diet while another fifteen followed a Mediterranean diet, also healthy with lots of fruit and vegetables. All of the patients in the tests had high blood sugar levels, most suffered from diabetes and all had heart problems.
At the end of three months, the group following the Mediterranean diet had reduced their blood sugar levels by a small amount but those following the Stone Age diet had much lower levels of sugar in their blood. The patients in both groups also lost weight although the level of sugar in the blood and the patients’ weight didn’t seem to be related.
So, what is it about the Stone Age diet that can make us healthier The diet contains (包含) some meat, fish, vegetables and nuts (坚果) but it doesn’t contain any milk products or wheat, and there is no salt.
The next question is whether the Kitava people are healthier than us. After all, their life expectancy (预期寿命)
is much lower. According to Staffan Lindeberg, this is not as simple as we may think. Because of their poor healthcare, there is more chance of them dying at a young age. However, if people on Kitava manage to reach fifty, they are likely to live as long as people in more developed countries.
41. What does the underlined word “them” refer to (指代) in Paragraph 2
A. Staffan Lindeberg’s findings. B. Patients in Sweden.
C. Diseases in western countries. D. People on the island of Kitava.
42. What did the test show
A. The Stone Age diet could reduce blood sugar levels.
B. The Mediterranean diet could help treat diabetes.
C. The Mediterranean diet could help people lose weight quickly.
D. High blood sugar levels could cause people to lose weight.
43. Which of the following picture show the Stone Age diet
A. B. C. D.
44. The Kitava people have lower life expectancy because of ________.
A. unhealthy eating habits B. poor living environment
C. poor medical condition D. a serious disease at a young age
45. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text
A. To compare two different diets. B. To tell people a latest study on diets.

Most people are afraid of snakes. They may think snakes are dangerous and ugly. With more and more rain falling and the hot weather, it’s time for snakes to be active. Living in the city, it never crosses your mind that we might meet them face to face.
There are more than 2,000 kinds of snakes on the earth. Most of them live in mountains or forests, and in cities sometimes we can find them in grass or other dark places. Snakes can’t walk or run because they have no legs or feet, but these long and thin animals can move very fast on their stomachs. Snakes usually have green, yellow or black skins, which make it difficult for their endemics to find them. In winter they hibernate in holes. They look
for a hole to stay inside, on the ground, or in a rock or a tree. They do not wake up again until spring comes. Snakes feed on mice, frogs, bird eggs and so on.
Snakes play an important part in nature. We can make useful medicine with them. Without their help, the rodents (啮齿动物) will be out of control. But many of them are in danger of disappearing. Houses and buildings take up the land where snakes live. Many snakes lose their lives in traffic, and people often kill snakes for their skins or meat.

Climate change brings dangers to people, then what another problem are we facing now It’s underground climate change. With the development of cities, the rising underground temperature is causing the ground to heat up and deform (变形).
In the last three years, scientists had put more than 150 temperature sensors (感应器) under some big cities. The places include subway tunnels (地下室) of buildings. The temperatures they recorded were surprising. For example, air temperatures in underground structures (结构), scientists created computer models to see how temperatures will influence the ground until 2051.
When heated, some soft materials may become smaller, and other materials, may become bigger. The models showed that warmer temperatures can cause the ground to rise upward by as much as 1.2 centimeters, or sink downward by as much as 0.8 centimeters. This may even cause the ground to crack (开裂).
As scientists have already known a lot about underground climate change, future plans for cities should take it into consideration. Materials that take in heat can be used to keep the heat from entering the ground. They also pointed out that the rising temperature could be seen as an opportunity. City planners can try to collect heat underground and send it above for heating.
41. The writer starts his topic by ________.
A. listing numbers B. offering advice
C. asking a question D. giving an example

When we first moved here, we didn’t have a garden. Mike and I talked about making a large vegetable garden somewhere in our yard, but we couldn’t agree on where. Before we went ahead and dug up the grass, we spent some time thinking about where it would work best. At last, we chose an old sandbox in our front yard to become our garden.
We dreamed about a lively garden with lots of vegetables. We asked many people what we should do to turn this sandbox into a space, and then plants could grow in it. And they gave us lots of ideas. My sister was the most knowledgeable, so we listened mostly to her. At first, Mike made a wood fence (栅栏) and I painted it with the kids.
We chose a darker color because it would fit our light grey house.
Next, Mike dug 17 holes. Then we filled them with soil. It was still too cold to plant anything, so for days I just stared out of the window at these holes. To me, it looked much too untidy. I advised to fill those holes back and dig new ones. This time we ended up with 10. Much better.
Over the next few weeks, I worked on getting everything planted in my garden. I started by planting green onions. But I was too excited and planted them too early. Right away it was clear that they weren’t going to survive. I had to give them up and try something else. Then my next-door neighbor gave me red roses to put in my garden. A few days later we went to a greenhouse and came back not with green onions but peppers, tomatoes and so on. Clearly the vegetable and flower garden was slowly becoming our dream garden. Oh well!
I love the way it turned out. This garden will always remind me of my sister.

“I have no special talent. I’m only passionately curious.” This famous quote from Albert Einstein might tell
the reason for his success. When Newton discovered gravity, and when Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, their curiosity was greatly satisfied. If they hadn’t been curious, what a loss for humans!
There is a common truth that intellectual curiosity (求知欲）contributes to school performance more than intelligence. Some studies also show there are benefits of curiosity in improving the long-term level of learning and memory, and a lot of positive results are connected with curiosity.
It has been known that both animals and humans are willing to take a risk to satisfy their curiosity despite knowing that the result will remain unchanged. Despite there being different views on the reason for curiosity, most experts reach an agreement that like the way the stomach looks for food, our brain looks for knowledge. People and animals are eager to know things because getting that information means a reward.
An interesting thing is that our brain will release a pleasure-related chemical when it has been given new information, making seeking information much like eating — another pleasant activity. Researchers newly found that increasing the release of the chemical greatly increased the curiosity in animals. However, how exactly the chemical plays a role still remains a mystery.
Considering the present level of research on curiosity and the driving force of curiosity, including scientific curiosity, more research should be carried on in this field. It’s safe to say that curiosity itself will help uncover curiosity. And remember even though the idiom says “Curiosity kills the cat”, it ends with satisfaction bringing it back.
61. What do the examples mentioned in Paragraph 1 intend to tell us
A. The importance of being curious. B. The advice from successful people.
C. The reason why humans keep curious. D. The relationship between curiosity and efforts.
62. What can we learn about intellectual curiosity from Paragraph 2
A. It often requires long-term training.
B. It helps people develop a positive lifestyle.

Last year, a primary school in Jiangxi Province made a decision. It would no longer prepare meals in its own canteen (食堂). Instead, it would serve its students pre-made (预制的) food. The move quickly became a hot topic across the country. Many parents said that they were worried about food safety. Some of them even sent homemade meals to school at lunchtime every day.
The Ministry of Education warns against introducing pre-made meals to schools. That’s mainly because there are not yet any national standards for such food. The market for pre-made meals has been developing quickly over the past few years. In 2022, there were more than 60,000 related companies in China. And the number is still growing. By 2026, the market will have reached more than one trillion yuan. What has made pre-made meals so popular They have many advantages. They’re quick and convenient to prepare. They also have a long shelf life (保存期). However, parents’ worries are not without reason. Pre-made food may be acceptable every now and then, but few people eat it every day. Naturally, parents don’t want their children to do so, either.
In fact, pre-made meals are all prepared by central kitchens. They’re not necessarily unhealthy compared with freshly cooked food. The problem is how to make sure these companies follow all the hygiene (卫生) rules when they cook and store food. For now, the pre-made food industry still has a long way to go.
56. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To ask a question. B. To lead to the main topic.
C. To draw a conclusion. D. To raise a problem.
57. Why is the Ministry of Education against pre-made meals
A. Because it thinks that pre-made food is not safe.
B. Because pre-made meals are not so healthy as homemade meals.
C. Because no national standards are set for pre-made food.
D. Because pre-made meals are too expensive.
58. What do parents think of pre-made meals according to Paragraph 2
A. Quick and convenient. B. Tasty and healthy.
C. Tasteless and unsafe. D. Worrying and unacceptable.
59. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Not all the companies follow the hygiene rules.
B. Pre-made meals are as healthy as freshly cooked food.
C. Pre-made meals are all prepared in school kitchens.
D. The market of pre-made meals is a success.

And the U.S. National Eating Disorders Company once replaced its helpline workers with robots. But it had to stop using the technology after the robots gave people harmful advice.
After being replaced by ChatGPT, Fein and Lipkin didn’t give up. Fein has decided to be an air-conditioning technician(技师), a job that AI can’t do. And Lipkin now works as a dog walker. She says, “People are looking for the cheapest solution, and that’s not a person-it’s a robot.”
