When Ransom returns to Earth in the final book, corruption even greater than when he left awaits him there.

Archan Chan recalls her first experience working in a Chinese restaurant more than 14 years ago. Employed as an apprentice (学徒) chef, she was one of just two women in the kitchen —the other's only job was to beat eggs. “She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs. I guess for a woman to survive in a traditional Chinese kitchen back then, you had to be the best in something,” she says.
Today, Chan leads the kitchen of Ho Lee Fook, one of Hong Kong's most popular restaurants. After spending more than a decade working in fine dining restaurants in Australia and Singapore, she is one of a few female chefs who have risen to the top of a high-end Chinese restaurant. That's an impressive achievement, given how unbelievably challenging it has been for women to show in high-end Chinese kitchens.
Female chefs have long been a minority in professional kitchens around the world. But the situation is even severer in Chinese kitchens. There's no denying the work is physically. demanding —an empty pot weighs about 2. 2 kilograms. In the past, few chefs would risk employing a female trainer into that tough environment.
Given all of these barriers, not many women would even consider this male-dominated industry as an attractive career path. Thankfully, there are signs of a shift in mindset —the number of female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years.
“Even if it's 'a kitchen almost full of men, all everyone cares about is food - the cooking. They don't care if you're a male or female. Gender shouldn't matter,” Chan says.
“Yes, there is a physical barrier-but I think the mental barrier may be more of a barrier to the increase of women in Chinese kitchens,” Chan adds. “It isn't just about how much you want it but how much hard work you're willing to put into it. There are days when you feel like your arms are falling apart and you can't move them anymore, but the next day, you're stronger and may be able to work a heavier work.”
4．What can we learn about Archan Chan'
A. She got a rapid promotion.
B. She does best in beating eggs.
C. She is the best female chef in China.
D. She made a great achievement in her career.
5．What's a cause of very few female chefs in professional kitchens

B. Women are afraid of physical work.

D. Women face both mental and physical barriers.

7．What would be the best title for the text
A. Female chefs have risen to the top.
B. Female chefs have long been a minority.
C. Female chefs are proving doubters wrong.
D. Female chefs are replacing male chefs gradually.
Despite the bad reputation of sharks, they are crucial to the health of the marine ecosystem and can even help fight climate change.
In the shallows of Shark Bay, Western Australia, seagrass is food for the sea cows, which can weigh as much as 500 kg and eat roughly 40 kg of seagrass a day. Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population in check, tiger sharks in Shark Bay help the seagrass thrive(茁壮成长).A booming seagrass meadow stores twice as much CO per square mile as forests typically do on land.
But tiger shark numbers are declining. Off Australia's northeast coast of Queensland, tiger sharks are estimated to have fallen by at least 71 percent, largely due to overfishing. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass is eaten by herbivores(食草动物),which means less carbon stored in sea vegetation. This raised the question: What if sharks were absent from the Shark Bay—would the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive
To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki of Florida International University, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed. "When unchecked, sea cows can rapidly destroy wide areas of seagrass," said Nowicki.
Those findings emphasised that tiger sharks were playing an important role in preventing the reduction of seagrass in Shark Bay. If shark populations continue to decline, the resilience of carbon-rich ocean ecosystems to extreme climate events like heatwaves will likely to be affected.
When it comes to boosting shark numbers, there has been a movement towards more sustainable fishing, but a large percentage of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many marine top predators(捕食者)continues to decline.
Aside from supporting sustainable fishing, Nowicki said the only way to truly protect marine life is to reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions. "Ultimately, if we are going to protect our ecosystems in the centuries to come, we are going to need to solve climate change while undertaking species protection at the same time."
8． Why are tiger sharks vital to the marine ecosystem
A. They feed on various sea animals.
B. They can store large amounts of CO .
C. They can prevent the loss of seagrass.
D. They influence marine species' distribution.
9． What does the underlined word "resilience" in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Productivity. B. Adaptability. C. Preservation. D. Construction.
10． What is the main cause of the population reduction of many top predators
A. Climate change. B. Lack of protection.
C. Unsustainable fishing. D. Loss of seagrass.
11． What's the main idea of the text
A. The number of tiger sharks is decreasing.
B. Climate change causes the loss of seagrass.
C. Environmental protection is at the top of the agenda.
D. Decline in shark populations affects the marine ecosystem.
St Kilda is a tiny archipelage (群岛) of the North Atlantic Ocean. The islands are among the most spectacular, but the greatest fascination is that, for over a thousand years, people lived there and possessed a sense of community. Cut off from the mainland, the islanders had a distinct way of living their lives, mainly eating the seabirds that returned to breed on the rocks.
Isolation also had a big effect upon St Kildans' attitudes and ideas. The people saenticed themselves year in and year out, in a constant battle to secure a livelihood. In such harsh conditions, life was only possible because the whole community worked together.
In the 19th century St Kilda was subject to pressures from the outside world. Education, religion and tourism all: attempted to throw the St Kildans' way of life into doubt. In the early
20th century, the strength of the community became weakened as contact with the rest of Britain increased. When disease cut their numbers, and wind and sea made it difficult to get adequate food, the St Kildans were forced to turn to the mainland for assistance.
In 1930, the St Kildans finally agreed to abandon their homes. They settled on the Scottish mainland, not realizing it meant throwing themselves into the 20 century. As adults, they had to accept those values most Scots believe in. For instance, the islanders found difficult to base their existence upon money. 'They had never lived in a world where they bought goods and services from each other.
The islanders showed themselves indifferent to the jobs they were given on the mainland. The labours asked of them were unskilled compared with the spectacular skills they had once performed in order to kill seabirds. Moreover, killing birds had once provided the community with food to survive. On the mainland, however, the tasks they were asked to perform did not provide them immediately with what was needed to keep them fed and warm.
The history of the St Kildans after the evacuation (撤离) , of their inability and lack of resolution to fit into urban society, makes sad reading. When they were resettled on the mainland, the St Kildans were forced to live in a society whose values were unacceptable and incomprehensible to the majority of them. For many, the move was a tragedy.
12．According to Paragraph 3, the following factors lead to St Kildans seeking help from outside EXCEPT
A. unbearable wind B. insufficient food supply
C. contact with Britain D. worsening health
13．After the St Kildans inhabited Scotland, they
A. soon learned how to buy goods and services from others
B. had trouble adapting to the value of dominant society
C. exhibited willingness to carry out their given jobs
D. had the opportunity to shew their skills of killing seabirds
14．Which of the following is NOT about how people used to live on St Kilda
A. The major source of food was found locally.
B. It was essential for people to help each other.
C. Very few people had visited mainland Scotland.
D. Money played an insignificant role in life.
15．What is the passage mainly concerned with
A. The role of money in modern communities.
B. How a community adapted to a different form of life.
C. The destruction of an old-fashioned community.
D. How a small community fight against opposite conditions.

“Manu! Please wake up! It's already 7 o'clock and your school bus will be here by 8 o'clock.” Manu continued sleeping. Finally, Akhila walked up to the bedroom. “Manu, wake up! It's time you at least learned to wake up on time and do your morning chores without so much effort from my side.” said his mother.
Finally, Manu got out of bed and started getting ready for school lazily. The school bus was already honking (按喇叭) in front of his bouse while Manu was brushing his teeth. Akhila requested the driver to wait for a few minutes. She quickly helped Manu get ready and helped him get to the school bus.
“Thank God. Manu did not miss his bus today!” She sighed. Akhila is really concerned about her son. Manu will nor do anything on time, whether it is waking up in the morning or any of his daily tasks. It is getting very difficult for Akhila to get her son to be disciplined.
Manu was back from school at 4 o'clock. Akhila asked him to finish his homework first. Manu, as usual, ignored his mother and continued playing with his pet dog. Finally, with a lot of effort, the mother helped him complete his homework. Manu had his maths test the next day.
Akhila thought to herself, “I need to work out a plan to help him to be self-disciplined” Repeated advice and warnings had not changed him.

33．答案：
Will AI replace humans entirely in the future
Recent years have witnessed the great achievements made by ChatGPT, ERNIE bot and other AI software, which boast their capability to generate texts. art works or even videos. Thus a discussion about whether AI will replace humans entirely in the future becomes heated.
Opinions are divided here. The boundaries of what Al can do seem to be constantly expanding, leading many to believe its potential to take over all the jobs and roles traditionally performed by humans. While others take it that Al is just a tool created to help us solve problems and improve efficiency, naturally lacking the creativity, emotional intelligence, and adaptability that are unique to human beings.
From my perspective. Al still has limitations in the face of tasks that require human interaction, unlikely to completely replace humans. Moreover, with Al taking over certain tasks, it frees up humans to focus on more innovative and creative work. Accordingly, what we should do now is to equip ourselves with abilities to adapt to the new chances.
34．答案：
Manu finally woke up at around 9 o'clock. Taking a glimpse of the clock, he jumped up to his feet. Soon out broke his scream as he ran out of his bedroom, “Mom! Why didn't you wake me up I am late for school.” Akhila was doing chores, who paused and continued her work without casting a single eye on him. “I tried but you just kept a deaf ear!” The boy burst into tears. “What can I do with my math test It's important!” Math was his favourite subject and he had expected to show off in the exam. At the request of Manu, his mum agreed to send him to school.
Manu quickly got ready for school without any effort from his mother. On the way, sensing his nervousness and regret. Akhila calmly put that one had to learn to schedule his life and work or he would miss many chances. “And my schedule is disturbed today due to your being late.” Manu lowered his head and mumbled his apology. Then came the next morning. Akhila walked out of her room only to find Manu had been waiting for her with everything ready. That morning, no hurry, no pestering and pampering, no continuous honking. It was the first time that Manu had tasted the fruit of discipline. He would taste it every day!
35．答案：to arrest
解析：根据题干，这里考查的是be+n.+to do sth.等于be动词+形容词+to do sth，解释为:有……因而做某事。注意区别be+doing sth、be+to do sth.前者表示具体的某个动作正在发生，后者表示抽象的动作或目的。在这里，用to do可以表示目的，表达出“警察是在巨大压力之下为了要逮捕在森林放火的人”这个语义。故本题的正确答案为to arrest。
36．答案：temporarily
解析：根据句子结构可知，空中单词修饰实义动词lived (居住)，根据语法规则，副词修饰实义动词，形容词temporary的副词是temporarily,意思是“暂时地，临时地”，故结合句意和提示 填temporarily。

Archan Chan recalls her first experience working in a Chinese restaurant more than 14 years ago. Employed as an apprentice (学徒) chef, she was one of just two women in the kitchen —the other's only job was to beat eggs. “She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs. I guess for a woman to survive in a traditional Chinese kitchen back then, you had to be the best in something,” she says.
Today, Chan leads the kitchen of Ho Lee Fook, one of Hong Kong's most popular restaurants. After spending more than a decade working in fine dining restaurants in Australia and Singapore, she is one of a few female chefs who have risen to the top of a high-end Chinese restaurant. That's an impressive achievement, given how unbelievably challenging it has been for women to show in high-end Chinese kitchens.
Female chefs have long been a minority in professional kitchens around the world. But the situation is even severer in Chinese kitchens. There's no denying the work is physically. demanding —an empty pot weighs about 2. 2 kilograms. In the past, few chefs would risk employing a female trainer into that tough environment.
Given all of these barriers, not many women would even consider this male-dominated industry as an attractive career path. Thankfully, there are signs of a shift in mindset —the number of female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years.
“Even if it's 'a kitchen almost full of men, all everyone cares about is food - the cooking. They don't care if you're a male or female. Gender shouldn't matter,” Chan says.
“Yes, there is a physical barrier-but I think the mental barrier may be more of a barrier to the increase of women in Chinese kitchens,” Chan adds. “It isn't just about how much you want it but how much hard work you're willing to put into it. There are days when you feel like your arms are falling apart and you can't move them anymore, but the next day, you're stronger and may be able to work a heavier work.”
4．What can we learn about Archan Chan'
A. She got a rapid promotion.
B. She does best in beating eggs.
C. She is the best female chef in China.
D. She made a great achievement in her career.
5．What's a cause of very few female chefs in professional kitchens

D. Women face both mental and physical barriers.
6．Which of the following can best describe Archan Chan

7．What would be the best title for the text
A. Female chefs have risen to the top.
B. Female chefs have long been a minority.
C. Female chefs are proving doubters wrong.
D. Female chefs are replacing male chefs gradually.
Despite the bad reputation of sharks, they are crucial to the health of the marine ecosystem and can even help fight climate change.
In the shallows of Shark Bay, Western Australia, seagrass is food for the sea cows, which can weigh as much as 500 kg and eat roughly 40 kg of seagrass a day. Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population in check, tiger sharks in Shark Bay help the seagrass thrive(茁壮成长).A booming seagrass meadow stores twice as much CO per square mile as forests typically do on land.
But tiger shark numbers are declining. Off Australia's northeast coast of Queensland, tiger sharks are estimated to have fallen by at least 71 percent, largely due to overfishing. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass is eaten by herbivores(食草动物),which means less carbon stored in sea vegetation. This raised the question: What if sharks were absent from the Shark Bay—would the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive
To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki of Florida International University, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed. "When unchecked, sea cows can rapidly destroy wide areas of seagrass," said Nowicki.
Those findings emphasised that tiger sharks were playing an important role in preventing the reduction of seagrass in Shark Bay. If shark populations continue to decline, the resilience of carbon-rich ocean ecosystems to extreme climate events like heatwaves will likely to be affected.
When it comes to boosting shark numbers, there has been a movement towards more sustainable fishing, but a large percentage of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many marine top predators(捕食者)continues to decline.
Aside from supporting sustainable fishing, Nowicki said the only way to truly protect marine life is to reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions. "Ultimately, if we are going to protect our ecosystems in the centuries to come, we are going to need to solve climate change while undertaking species protection at the same time."
8． Why are tiger sharks vital to the marine ecosystem
A. They feed on various sea animals.
B. They can store large amounts of CO .
C. They can prevent the loss of seagrass.
D. They influence marine species' distribution.
9． What does the underlined word "resilience" in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Productivity. B. Adaptability. C. Preservation. D. Construction.
10． What is the main cause of the population reduction of many top predators
A. Climate change. B. Lack of protection.
C. Unsustainable fishing. D. Loss of seagrass.
11． What's the main idea of the text
A. The number of tiger sharks is decreasing.
B. Climate change causes the loss of seagrass.
C. Environmental protection is at the top of the agenda.
D. Decline in shark populations affects the marine ecosystem.
St Kilda is a tiny archipelage (群岛) of the North Atlantic Ocean. The islands are among the most spectacular, but the greatest fascination is that, for over a thousand years, people lived there and possessed a sense of community. Cut off from the mainland, the islanders had a distinct way of living their lives, mainly eating the seabirds that returned to breed on the rocks.
Isolation also had a big effect upon St Kildans' attitudes and ideas. The people saenticed themselves year in and year out, in a constant battle to secure a livelihood. In such harsh conditions, life was only possible because the whole community worked together.
In the 19th century St Kilda was subject to pressures from the outside world. Education, religion and tourism all: attempted to throw the St Kildans' way of life into doubt. In the early
20th century, the strength of the community became weakened as contact with the rest of Britain increased. When disease cut their numbers, and wind and sea made it difficult to get adequate food, the St Kildans were forced to turn to the mainland for assistance.
In 1930, the St Kildans finally agreed to abandon their homes. They settled on the Scottish mainland, not realizing it meant throwing themselves into the 20 century. As adults, they had to accept those values most Scots believe in. For instance, the islanders found difficult to base their existence upon money. 'They had never lived in a world where they bought goods and services from each other.
The islanders showed themselves indifferent to the jobs they were given on the mainland. The labours asked of them were unskilled compared with the spectacular skills they had once performed in order to kill seabirds. Moreover, killing birds had once provided the community with food to survive. On the mainland, however, the tasks they were asked to perform did not provide them immediately with what was needed to keep them fed and warm.
The history of the St Kildans after the evacuation (撤离) , of their inability and lack of resolution to fit into urban society, makes sad reading. When they were resettled on the mainland, the St Kildans were forced to live in a society whose values were unacceptable and incomprehensible to the majority of them. For many, the move was a tragedy.
12．According to Paragraph 3, the following factors lead to St Kildans seeking help from outside EXCEPT
A. unbearable wind B. insufficient food supply
C. contact with Britain D. worsening health
13．After the St Kildans inhabited Scotland, they
A. soon learned how to buy goods and services from others
B. had trouble adapting to the value of dominant society
C. exhibited willingness to carry out their given jobs
D. had the opportunity to shew their skills of killing seabirds
14．Which of the following is NOT about how people used to live on St Kilda
A. The major source of food was found locally.
B. It was essential for people to help each other.
C. Very few people had visited mainland Scotland.
D. Money played an insignificant role in life.
15．What is the passage mainly concerned with
A. The role of money in modern communities.
B. How a community adapted to a different form of life.
C. The destruction of an old-fashioned community.
D. How a small community fight against opposite conditions.

It was a cold winter Monday morning. Manu, an eight-year-old, was sleeping comfortably in his bedroom upstairs. Mondays are usually very difficult for him after a weekend break from his school.
“Manu, wake up!” shouted Manu's mother, Akhila. Manu pulled the blanket over himself and pretended to ignore his mother's repeated attempts to wake him up.
“Manu! Please wake up! It's already 7 o'clock and your school bus will be here by 8 o'clock.” Manu continued sleeping. Finally, Akhila walked up to the bedroom. “Manu, wake up! It's time you at least learned to wake up on time and do your morning chores without so much effort from my side.” said his mother.
Finally, Manu got out of bed and started getting ready for school lazily. The school bus was already honking (按喇叭) in front of his bouse while Manu was brushing his teeth. Akhila requested the driver to wait for a few minutes. She quickly helped Manu get ready and helped him get to the school bus.
“Thank God. Manu did not miss his bus today!” She sighed. Akhila is really concerned about her son. Manu will nor do anything on time, whether it is waking up in the morning or any of his daily tasks. It is getting very difficult for Akhila to get her son to be disciplined.
Manu was back from school at 4 o'clock. Akhila asked him to finish his homework first. Manu, as usual, ignored his mother and continued playing with his pet dog. Finally, with a lot of effort, the mother helped him complete his homework. Manu had his maths test the next day.
Akhila thought to herself, “I need to work out a plan to help him to be self-disciplined” Repeated advice and warnings had not changed him.
The next day, everything was usually expected and there was no effort from Akhila to wake up her son. The time was seven and Akhila had still made no effort to wake up Manu. The school bus honked and Akhila, unlike her usual self, asked the bus driver to leave.

8．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的seagrass is food for the sea cows和Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population in check, tiger sharks in Shark Bay help the seagrass thrive.可知,虎鲨吃海牛,海牛数量减少,这样一来海牛的食物来源海草的数量就会增长,从而维持海洋生态系统的平衡,即虎鲨可以防止海草数量的减少。故选C项。
9．答案：B
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词前的Those findings emphasized that tiger sharks were playing an important role in preventing the reduction of seagrass in Shark Bay.可知,虎鲨在防止鲨鱼湾海草减少方面发挥着重要作用,故如果虎鲨数量减少,海草就会被消耗得更多,海洋生态系统便会遭到破坏,其对于极端天气的适应能力也会受到影响。由此推知,画线词所在句意为“如果鲨鱼数量继续下降,富含碳的海洋生态系统对热浪等极端气候事件的适应能力可能会受到影响”,resilience意为“适应力”。故选B项。

解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,海洋顶级捕食者数量减少的原因主要在于捕鱼业仍在使用不可持续的捕捞方法。故选C项。
11．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了鲨鱼对海洋生态系统的健康至关重要,但虎鲨的数量正在减少,这意味着更多的海草被吃掉,海洋植被中储存的碳也会减少,进而造成了海洋生态系统的破坏。由此可知,本文主要介绍了鲨鱼数量的减少影响了海洋生态系统。故选D项。

33．答案：
Will AI replace humans entirely in the future
Recent years have witnessed the great achievements made by ChatGPT, ERNIE bot and other AI software, which boast their capability to generate texts. art works or even videos. Thus a discussion about whether AI will replace humans entirely in the future becomes heated.
Opinions are divided here. The boundaries of what Al can do seem to be constantly expanding, leading many to believe its potential to take over all the jobs and roles traditionally performed by humans. While others take it that Al is just a tool created to help us solve problems and improve efficiency, naturally lacking the creativity, emotional intelligence, and adaptability that are unique to human beings.
From my perspective. Al still has limitations in the face of tasks that require human interaction, unlikely to completely replace humans. Moreover, with Al taking over certain tasks, it frees up humans to focus on more innovative and creative work. Accordingly, what we should do now is to equip ourselves with abilities to adapt to the new chances.
34．答案：
Manu finally woke up at around 9 o'clock. Taking a glimpse of the clock, he jumped up to his feet. Soon out broke his scream as he ran out of his bedroom, “Mom! Why didn't you wake me up I am late for school.” Akhila was doing chores, who paused and continued her work without casting a single eye on him. “I tried but you just kept a deaf ear!” The boy burst into tears. “What can I do with my math test It's important!” Math was his favourite subject and he had expected to show off in the exam. At the request of Manu, his mum agreed to send him to school.
Manu quickly got ready for school without any effort from his mother. On the way, sensing his nervousness and regret. Akhila calmly put that one had to learn to schedule his life and work or he would miss many chances. “And my schedule is disturbed today due to your being late.” Manu lowered his head and mumbled his apology. Then came the next morning. Akhila walked out of her room only to find Manu had been waiting for her with everything ready. That morning, no hurry, no pestering and pampering, no continuous honking. It was the first time that Manu had tasted the fruit of discipline. He would taste it every day!
35．答案：to arrest
解析：根据题干，这里考查的是be+n.+to do sth.等于be动词+形容词+to do sth，解释为:有……因而做某事。注意区别be+doing sth、be+to do sth.前者表示具体的某个动作正在发生，后者表示抽象的动作或目的。在这里，用to do可以表示目的，表达出“警察是在巨大压力之下为了要逮捕在森林放火的人”这个语义。故本题的正确答案为to arrest。
36．答案：temporarily
解析：根据句子结构可知，空中单词修饰实义动词lived (居住)，根据语法规则，副词修饰实义动词，形容词temporary的副词是temporarily,意思是“暂时地，临时地”，故结合句意和提示 填temporarily。
