Passage 2
How to see London like a pro
We've explored London thoroughly and come away with quite a few lessons. Here are our tips.
Visiting Buckingham Palace
Being London's most iconic landmark, this grand 775 room building is where Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ hosts feasts and meets the heads of state. But if you're dreaming of taking a visit to it, you'll need to plan your trip carefully. The palace is typically only open during the summer months from July 23rd to October 3rd. Visiting hours are from 9：30 a．m. to 6：30 p．m. If you're visiting when the palace isn't available to visitors, you can still see the Changing of the Guard.
Hitting the London Eye
The London Eye is a playful addition to the city skyline. Standing near centuries old architecture, this enormous Ferris wheel goes round slowly on the south bank of the River Thames, serving up views over the London Bridge and the Shard to the west, plus a wide perspective of the Palace of Westminster. Buy your tickets in advance online, choose a clear day and go there first thing in the morning to avoid peak times.
Drinking afternoon tea
Afternoon tea—a sacred ritual (习俗)—is reason enough to come to London. The British have taken a simple tea break and turned it into a luxurious ceremony, complete with patterned china, layered plates of finger sandwiches and scones with cream and jam. And we haven't mentioned the cakes, which are often brought around on a wheeled cart. When making a reservation, remember that afternoon tea isn't a snack but a full meal with sweet and salty elements, and you'll be stuffed. The smart move is to skip lunch and maybe even dinner.
4．Which is a proper time to visit Buckingham Palace
A．July. 18, 10：00 a．m. B．Aug. 23, 8：30 a．m.
C．Sep. 27, 3：00 p．m. D．Oct. 2, 7：30 p．m.
5．The attraction of the London Eye lies in the fact that ________．
A．it provides a good view of some places of interest
B．it makes London's skyline seem more harmonious
C．it spins quickly on the south bank of the River Thames
D．it is more historic compared to the nearby buildings
6．What do we know about British afternoon tea
A．It is a short break with light snacks. B．It is a full meal with various tasty foods.
C．It combines sour and sweet flavours well. D．It is complete with delicate silver dishware.
Passage 3
The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it's right for you.
To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people's digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
In the final chapter of part one, I'll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I'll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1，600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You'll hear these participants' stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.
The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high quality leisure to replace the time most now spent on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances.
7．What is the book aimed at
A．Teaching critical thinking skills. B．Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.
C．Solving philosophical problems. D．Promoting the use of a digital device.
8．What does the underlined word “declutter” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Clear up. B．Add on.
C．Check in. D．Take over.
9．What is presented in the final chapter of part one
A.Theoretical models. B．Statistical methods.
C．Practical examples. D．Historical analyses.
10．What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two
A．Use them as needed. B．Recommend them to friends.
C．Evaluate their effects. D．Identify the ideas behind them.
Passage 4
Ice coated vines (葡萄藤) stretched across hillsides around Chablis, France, as the region had a temperature of －5 ℃ on Monday. Fruit growers are worried that the frost will kill off large numbers of early buds (花蕾) and disturb the whole growing season.
The frost is particularly disturbing after a similar phenomenon hit French vineyards last year, leading to some 2 billion euros in losses. Scientists later found that the damaging 2021 frost was more likely made by climate change.
Some growers tried to warm the vines with electrical lines, or set up special watering systems, or spray (喷洒) the buds with water to protect them from frost. The water creates a thin layer of ice that ensures the buds' temperature remains around freezing point but does not drop much lower.
Daniel Etienne Defaix, whose vineyard has been producing wine for 400 years and lived through many climate disasters, calls what's happening now “a very, very serious frost”. He placed candles on the soil to protect about five hectares of his most valuable grapes, but had to leave the remaining 25 hectares to face the force of nature. At a cost of 10 euros per candle, and 600 candles per hectare, it was too costly to save the rest of the grapes.
The 2021 April frost led to what French government officials described as “probably the greatest agricultural disaster of the beginning of the 21st century”. The pattern was similar: an intense April 6～8 frost after a lengthy warm period in March.
The researchers concluded that the warming caused by humans had coaxed the plants so that they exposed their young leaves earlier than usual, before a burst of Arctic cold reached Europe in April.
11．What did Daniel Etienne Defaix do to protect his vines
A．Heat the vines with electrical lines. B．Spray the buds with water.
C．Set up special watering systems. D．Warm the vines with candles.
12．What can we infer from the text
A．Growers can save most of their crops. B．The 2022 frost is the worst in history.
C．Humans are to blame for the damage. D．The weather was normal last March.
13．What does the underlined word “coaxed” in the last paragraph mean
A．Protected. B．Dried.
C．Tricked. D．Delayed.
14．Which is the best title of the text
A．Causes for Early Budding B．Late Frost Threatens Vine Crops
C．Creative Ways to Save Vines D．Global Warming Brings Extreme Weather
Passage 5
Praised as “Edgar Snow in the New Era”， British journalist Andrew Moody devoted himself to accurately reporting on China for over a decade. Born in Nottinghamshire in September, 1960, Moody's interest in journalism began at age 15. What came next was a storied career that would last 4 decades. A visit to Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, in 1997 turned his attention to China. During that visit, he was surprised by the great changes that had taken place in China. Moody began working for ChinaDaily in 2008. In his 13 years at the paper, he published more than 1 million words in the newspaper group's different publications.
“These stories aim to explain the strategies (策略) and aims of the Chinese government to a wider audience, and also look at the challenges and difficulties it faces，” Moody wrote. “I also attach importance to issues which go largely ignored in the mainstream Western media, which often fail to provide a full or true image (形象) of China.”
To better cover China, Moody read a lot. In his Beijing apartment, there were more than 160 books about the nation. Su Qiang, a ChinaDaily editor who worked with Moody for 8 years, said, “He read all the books that top experts had written about China, and he closely followed how the world viewed China.” Moody also learned to speak putonghua, traveled to most provinces and autonomous regions throughout China and exposed himself to the Chinese way of life.
“China is moving into a new era in which it is much more confident about its position and status in the world. I have a definite sense of history in the making，” said Moody. He hoped that he could be one of the witnesses and reporters of this historic time.
“So even when he was suffering from a serious disease, Moody still soldiered on. All he cared about was whether he could keep on working，” said Wang Liping, Moody's attending doctor.
When he passed away in June, 2021, many people were sad. “His death will be a huge loss to those who are working hard on the dialogue between China and the outside world，” said Kerry Brown, a professor of Chinese Studies at King's College London.
15．What can be known about Andrew Moody

Passage 6
At just 19 years old, Aki a Peters teaches at a college. He specializes in a language that is thousands of years old, the Dakota language, spoken by the Dakota people.
“The Dakota language is ‘the most important aspect’ of Dakota culture. Without it, our Dakota culture would no longer exist，” Peters claimed. “I was lucky to grow up around many first language Dakota speakers. But now the elderly continually passed away and at the end of their lives, they just wanted to know their families would continue to have the language. One of the problems our people have is finding ways to get at length and consistent exposure to the language.”
Aside from giving instruction at the college level, Peters uses social media to share videos that integrate humor, culture, and basic level conversation to help teach Dakota. In his free time, he visits Dakota elders. He also started an online group of the youth to converse and share the knowledge of the language in a safe and supportive space.
Aki a Peters wants to tell the youth that if they want to learn their own language, sit with their elders and learn from them. Endless vocabulary sheets could discourage them from learning. Standards created by non speakers could also do that. “Within the next decade, I assume, I, my colleagues, and other Dakota learning relatives will have children and start a new generation of Dakota. I also hope my brothers and sisters will take the path we laid out for them and continue to learn and speak Dakota. On my reservation there are numerous young people working on the comeback of the language. I'm hopeful because I'm definitely not alone，” Aki a Peters told TeenVogue.
19．Why does Aki a Peters teach the Dakota language
A．To enrich his experience. B．To record its written form.
C．To prevent it dying out. D．To make it known globally.
20．What can we say about Aki a Peters according to Paragraph 3
A．Learned. B．Creative.
C．Approachable. D．Cooperative.
21．What does Aki a Peters expect the young people to do
A．Deal with vocabulary sheets. B．Sustain the given standards.
C．Communicate with their elders. D．Learn from their teachers.
22．Which section of a website is the text probably taken from
A．Research. B．Business.
C．Fashion. D．Culture.
Passage 7
Artificial intelligence helps teachers identify which of their students have learning difficulties,according to a new study.
Teachers make more accurate assessments of learning difficulties among their students if they are given AI-generated feedback(反馈) rather than an “expert solution” written by a qualified professional.Researchers believe that because the AI analyzed the teacher’s own work,it’s easier for the teacher to understand than a “model answer” prepared beforehand.
“Teachers play a critical role in recognizing the signs of disorders and learning difficulties in pupils and referring them to specialists,” said Riikka Hofmann.“Unfortunately,many of them feel that they have not had sufficient opportunity to practice these skills.AI could provide an extra level of individualized feedback to help them develop these essential competences.”
Trainee teachers were asked to assess fictionalized students for potential learning difficulties,based on evidence including examples of their work,school behavior records and written texts of conversations with parents.Half of the trainees received the “expert solution”,typical of the material given to trainee teachers,while the other half received AI-generated feedback on their approach,highlighting where they could improve.The trainees then completed similar follow-up assessments,and were graded both on the accuracy of their diagnoses(诊断) and on how well they had used the evidence.Trainees who received the AI feedback scored significantly higher than those who worked with the pre-written expert solutions.
While the researchers said this does not mean AI is preferable to one-to-one feedback from a skilled expert,this is not always available for trainee teachers.“We are not arguing that AI should replace teacher-educators:new teachers still need expert guidance on how to recognize learning difficulties in the first place,” said Dr Michael Sailer.“It does seem,however,that AI-generated feedback helped these trainees to focus on what they really needed to learn.When personal feedback is not readily available,it could be an effective substitute(代替物).”
23.What does the underlined word “them” refer to
A.Pupils. B.Teachers.
C.Specialists. D.Researchers.
24.What did AI help trainee teachers know in the study
A.How well they had used the evidence.
B.Whether the expert solution was accurate.
C.Where their approach needs improvement.
D.What follow-up assessments they completed.
25.What does Dr Michael think of AI
A.It will take the place of skilled experts.
B.It acts as an expert guide to trainee teachers.
C.It is only suitable for new teachers to use.
D.It can be a useful teaching training aid.
26.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.AI locates learning difficulties for the students
B.AI becomes an effective teaching tool in school
C.AI helps teachers spot students with learning difficulties
D.AI trains teachers in judging the learning of the students
Passage 8
Every holiday season,Patricia Gallagher fills her car with stuffed animals and drives around Philadelphia.She gives them not to kids but to seniors.
Patricia’s holiday tradition started in 2009.“I just got this idea to call two nursing homes at random and ask if I could come and read It Was the Night Before Christmas,” she said.She brought some of her kids’ stuffed animals for the seniors to hold while she read.“But when I went to gather them and take them back to go to the next nursing home,nobody wanted to give up their stuffed animals,” she added.It was then and there that she realized the power of a simple holiday gift.
Patricia wanted to continue her tradition of giving,so she put an ad online,asking for gently used stuffed animals.In her first two years of collecting,she received more than 11,000 donated stuffed animals.She said sometimes local schools would hold stuffed animal collections on her behalf,or a child who outgrew their toys would donate.After receiving too many,Patricia started capping how many she would collect at a time,and said she could only take in about 250 stuffed animals each week during the holiday season.Then,she took them to nursing homes.

Passage 9
When Kim Ji-un lived in Seoul,she worried about finding a good job.Now,she is worried that drought may ruin her crop.The 23-year-old started a farm last year.Her first harvest was a success;she was surprised that her black beans did better than her strawberries.
Ms Kim is part of a phenomenon called kwichon,or returning to rural life.Coined a millennium ago,the term crops up during periods of economic hardship.This time,in the wake of the pandemic,many new farmers have never lived in the countryside before.By planting young farmers in rural areas,the government hopes to enjoy big rewards in future.
The plan is working.In 2021 nearly 380,000 people moved to the fort with digital technology gives young farmers a leg up,says Cho Kyung-ik,the director of the Beginning Farmer’s Centre,an institution educating those who wish to kwichon at its downtown offices.They sell fresh produce on Naver,South Korea’s largest search engine.
The centre teaches techniques like how to use a tractor(拖拉机) or select the best crops.It arranges a trial period during which ambitious farmers work under the guidance of an old hand,learning what it means to do back-breaking labour from dawn to dusk.
The most important lesson is how to get on with the locals.The villagers are also offered tips on how to act towards the newcomers.That part is not yet a total success.Ms Kim says her neighbours have a bad temper.“The old people come in here and give me unwanted advice,or say that I will never be able to grow anything,”she says.Her black beans beg to differ.She and the South Korean government will be hoping that her crops put the argument to rest for good.

Passage 10
There have been a few times in my life when I felt very lonely.I particularly remember my loneliness when I moved to New York City.I had a couple of friends in the city;however,it was a time in my life when I needed to put forth some effort to form more meaningful relationships.But the more I went out to parties,the more disconnected and lonely I felt.Feeling lonely in a room full of people,or in my case,a whole city packed with people everywhere,was the loneliest I have ever felt.
So,rather than trying a new way to make friends,I was more likely to ignore phone calls from friends,and I looked at social invitations and opportunities to meet new people as drudgery.Looking back on this period of loneliness,I wonder at the way I isolated myself instead of reaching out to those who were willing to keep me company and offer friendship.
What I have learned from my own experience and the experience of many of my friends is that more often than not,those who feel lonely choose isolation.Indeed many of my own friends describe avoiding social life as a way of dealing with feelings of loneliness.
This behavior is somewhat common,and new research takes a big step towards explaining this behavior.According to leading experts on the loneliness,Stephanie and John Cacioppo,there is an evolutionary explanation for this tendency to isolate when we are feeling lonely.By monitoring lonely people’s brainwaves,they found that lonely people tend to respond negatively to social life.“Loneliness causes some brain-related changes that put us into a socially nervous mode,” Dr.Christian Jarrett explains.
Making ourselves aware of this evolutionary natural tendency could actually be the first step in fighting loneliness.Once we know that we are more sensitive to negativity during lonely spells,we can focus our energy on resisting the desire to put up walls.
35.What happened to the author after she moved to New York City
A.She had no friends there.
B.She lacked confidence there.
C.She needed opportunities for parties.
D.She felt lonely even with people present.
36.How did the author try to deal with her situation
A.By refusing to go out to meet others.
B.By looking for solutions on the Internet.
C.By trying various methods to make friends.
D.By doing some drudgery to forget her problem.
37.What did Stephanie and John Cacioppo find in their research
A.Lonely people tend to disgust social life.
B.People respond negatively to lonely people.
C.Loneliness can do great harm to people’s health.
D.Loneliness can be caused by a socially nervous mode.
38.What does the author most probably want to show in the text
A.We shouldn’t be influenced by negativity.
B.We shouldn’t choose isolation when we feel lonely.
C.We should make friends based on scientific findings.
D.We should spend more time with friends than relatives.
Passage 11
I know it may be hard to convince you,but let me try:Don’t kill the next spider you see in your home.
People like to think of their dwellings as safely separated from the outside world,but many types of spiders can be found inside.Some are accidentally trapped,while others are short-term visitors.Some species even enjoy the great indoors,where they happily live out their lives and make more spiders.These fellows are usually secretive,and almost all you meet are neither aggressive nor dangerous.And they may be providing services like eating pests—some even eat other spiders.
My colleagues and I conducted a visual survey of 50 North Carolina homes.Every single house we visited was home to spiders.The most common species we encountered were cobweb spiders and cellar spiders.Both build webs where they lie in wait for prey(猎物) to get caught.Cellar spiders sometimes leave their webs to hunt other spiders.
Although they are all-around predators(捕食性动物),tending to eat anything they can catch,spiders regularly capture harmful pests and even disease-carrying insects—for example,mosquitoes.There’s even a species of jumping spider that prefers to eat blood-filled mosquitoes in African homes.So killing a spider doesn’t just cost the insect its life;it may take an important predator out of your home.
It’s natural to fear spiders.They have lots of legs and almost all are venomous—though the majority of species have venom(毒液) too weak to cause issues in humans,if their fangs can pierce our skin at all.Even entomologists themselves can fall prey to arachnophobia(蜘蛛恐惧症).I know a few spider researchers who overcame their fear by observing and working with these fascinating creatures.If they can do it,so can you!
39.What is a common misunderstanding of spiders according to paragraph 2
A.They can be trapped easily.
B.They often attack human beings.
C.They are friendly to human beings.
D.They live far away from human beings.
40.What will happen if you kill a spider in your home
A.Lose a great assistant.
B.Catch more insects.
C.Develop rare diseases.
D.Rescue other insects.
41.How can people get over their fear of spiders
A.By discovering their habitats.
B.By protecting their skin.
C.By getting along with them.
D.By recognizing their venom.
42.What does the text suggest people do about spiders
A.Spare spiders.
B.Monitor spiders.
C.Defeat spiders.
D.Control spiders.
Passage 12
Reading while traveling is more than pleasurable;it’s a necessity.It means resting our heads against the window while traveling on the subway,train,or bus,and immersing ourselves in distant worlds and other people’s lives.These waves of words help us make the journey seem shorter and distance ourselves from the noise.It can make our journey meaningful and help us to start our working days with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
Reading while traveling brings a unique context to one’s reading.Many people take specific books with them to tie into the places they’re traveling to.Few things are as enjoyable and satisfying as lifting your eyes to find yourself in the very same country,setting,or context that the book is set in.Of course,it isn’t necessary to visit the exact places in a novel in order to experience the sensations that the author is trying to transmit to you.Just the simple fact of being outside the four walls of your house brings new ingredients to reading:sounds,lights,faces,and sensations,among other things.
Reading while traveling improves your ability to concentrate.The truth is that not all people are able to concentrate on a book while they’re traveling.Our urban world is noisy.However,it’s interesting to note that those who have become used to reading while traveling have developed unique concentration and focusing skills.The ability to read,understand,and visualize other worlds and plots is a skill that can be applied to many other areas in life.
Reading,which is a ticket that transports you to places far beyond your physical destination,is a portable pastime.You don’t have to be in bed or on the couch in order to be able to enjoy a book.Reading while traveling is a great way to make the most of your time,thereby turning those moments of inactivity into very active ones for your brain.The only danger that we could point out is that you may get so immersed in your book that you might miss your stop!
43.What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A.Leaning against the window is recommended.
B.Words can keep readers distanced from the world.
C.Enjoying a book makes sufferings from noise pleasant.
D.Reading helps travelers absorbed in another world.
44.How do you feel when you are exploring the places you have read about in person
A.Lost. B.Uneasy.
C.Sensitive. D.Overjoyed.
45.What can we learn about those who are accustomed to reading while traveling
A.They can’t bear being in a noisy atmosphere.
B.They are unlikely to be distracted at work.
C.They can hardly keep focused on anything else.
D.They tend to be bookish and unrealistic.
46.What can be concluded about reading while traveling from the last paragraph
A.It partly replaces physical exercise.
B.It can boost travelers’ brain health.
C.It keeps you from missing stops.
D.It requires a favorable environment.

Passage 2
How to see London like a pro
We've explored London thoroughly and come away with quite a few lessons. Here are our tips.
Visiting Buckingham Palace
Being London's most iconic landmark, this grand 775 room building is where Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ hosts feasts and meets the heads of state. But if you're dreaming of taking a visit to it, you'll need to plan your trip carefully. The palace is typically only open during the summer months from July 23rd to October 3rd. Visiting hours are from 9：30 a．m. to 6：30 p．m. If you're visiting when the palace isn't available to visitors, you can still see the Changing of the Guard.
Hitting the London Eye
The London Eye is a playful addition to the city skyline. Standing near centuries old architecture, this enormous Ferris wheel goes round slowly on the south bank of the River Thames, serving up views over the London Bridge and the Shard to the west, plus a wide perspective of the Palace of Westminster. Buy your tickets in advance online, choose a clear day and go there first thing in the morning to avoid peak times.
Drinking afternoon tea
Afternoon tea—a sacred ritual (习俗)—is reason enough to come to London. The British have taken a simple tea break and turned it into a luxurious ceremony, complete with patterned china, layered plates of finger sandwiches and scones with cream and jam. And we haven't mentioned the cakes, which are often brought around on a wheeled cart. When making a reservation, remember that afternoon tea isn't a snack but a full meal with sweet and salty elements, and you'll be stuffed. The smart move is to skip lunch and maybe even dinner.

Passage 3
The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it's right for you.
To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people's digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
In the final chapter of part one, I'll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I'll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1，600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You'll hear these participants' stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.
The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high quality leisure to replace the time most now spent on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances.
7．What is the book aimed at
A．Teaching critical thinking skills. B．Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.
C．Solving philosophical problems. D．Promoting the use of a digital device.
8．What does the underlined word “declutter” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Clear up. B．Add on.
C．Check in. D．Take over.
9．What is presented in the final chapter of part one

C．Practical examples. D．Historical analyses.
10．What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two
A．Use them as needed. B．Recommend them to friends.
C．Evaluate their effects. D．Identify the ideas behind them.
Passage 4
Ice coated vines (葡萄藤) stretched across hillsides around Chablis, France, as the region had a temperature of －5 ℃ on Monday. Fruit growers are worried that the frost will kill off large numbers of early buds (花蕾) and disturb the whole growing season.
The frost is particularly disturbing after a similar phenomenon hit French vineyards last year, leading to some 2 billion euros in losses. Scientists later found that the damaging 2021 frost was more likely made by climate change.
Some growers tried to warm the vines with electrical lines, or set up special watering systems, or spray (喷洒) the buds with water to protect them from frost. The water creates a thin layer of ice that ensures the buds' temperature remains around freezing point but does not drop much lower.
Daniel Etienne Defaix, whose vineyard has been producing wine for 400 years and lived through many climate disasters, calls what's happening now “a very, very serious frost”. He placed candles on the soil to protect about five hectares of his most valuable grapes, but had to leave the remaining 25 hectares to face the force of nature. At a cost of 10 euros per candle, and 600 candles per hectare, it was too costly to save the rest of the grapes.
The 2021 April frost led to what French government officials described as “probably the greatest agricultural disaster of the beginning of the 21st century”. The pattern was similar: an intense April 6～8 frost after a lengthy warm period in March.
The researchers concluded that the warming caused by humans had coaxed the plants so that they exposed their young leaves earlier than usual, before a burst of Arctic cold reached Europe in April.
11．What did Daniel Etienne Defaix do to protect his vines
A．Heat the vines with electrical lines. B．Spray the buds with water.
C．Set up special watering systems. D．Warm the vines with candles.
12．What can we infer from the text
A．Growers can save most of their crops. B．The 2022 frost is the worst in history.
C．Humans are to blame for the damage. D．The weather was normal last March.
13．What does the underlined word “coaxed” in the last paragraph mean
A．Protected. B．Dried.
C．Tricked. D．Delayed.
14．Which is the best title of the text
A．Causes for Early Budding B．Late Frost Threatens Vine Crops
C．Creative Ways to Save Vines D．Global Warming Brings Extreme Weather
Passage 5
Praised as “Edgar Snow in the New Era”， British journalist Andrew Moody devoted himself to accurately reporting on China for over a decade. Born in Nottinghamshire in September, 1960, Moody's interest in journalism began at age 15. What came next was a storied career that would last 4 decades. A visit to Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, in 1997 turned his attention to China. During that visit, he was surprised by the great changes that had taken place in China. Moody began working for ChinaDaily in 2008. In his 13 years at the paper, he published more than 1 million words in the newspaper group's different publications.
“These stories aim to explain the strategies (策略) and aims of the Chinese government to a wider audience, and also look at the challenges and difficulties it faces，” Moody wrote. “I also attach importance to issues which go largely ignored in the mainstream Western media, which often fail to provide a full or true image (形象) of China.”
To better cover China, Moody read a lot. In his Beijing apartment, there were more than 160 books about the nation. Su Qiang, a ChinaDaily editor who worked with Moody for 8 years, said, “He read all the books that top experts had written about China, and he closely followed how the world viewed China.” Moody also learned to speak putonghua, traveled to most provinces and autonomous regions throughout China and exposed himself to the Chinese way of life.
“China is moving into a new era in which it is much more confident about its position and status in the world. I have a definite sense of history in the making，” said Moody. He hoped that he could be one of the witnesses and reporters of this historic time.
“So even when he was suffering from a serious disease, Moody still soldiered on. All he cared about was whether he could keep on working，” said Wang Liping, Moody's attending doctor.
When he passed away in June, 2021, many people were sad. “His death will be a huge loss to those who are working hard on the dialogue between China and the outside world，” said Kerry Brown, a professor of Chinese Studies at King's College London.
15．What can be known about Andrew Moody
A．He moved to China to work in 1997.
B．He reported on China for four decades.
C．He considered Edgar Snow to be his role model.
D．He began to show interest in journalism as a teenager.

A．He drew a wider audience to the newspaper.
B．He reported on the typical Chinese way of life.
C．He accurately introduced China to more people.
D．He communicated with the mainstream Western media.
17．What did Moody's attending doctor think of him
A．Fearless. B．Devoted. C．Optimistic. D．Ambitious.
18．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage
A．To praise an honorable foreign journalist.
B．To describe Moody's colorful life in China.
C．To correct Western media's impression of China.
D．To show an accurate image of China to the outside world.
Passage 6
At just 19 years old, Aki a Peters teaches at a college. He specializes in a language that is thousands of years old, the Dakota language, spoken by the Dakota people.
“The Dakota language is ‘the most important aspect’ of Dakota culture. Without it, our Dakota culture would no longer exist，” Peters claimed. “I was lucky to grow up around many first language Dakota speakers. But now the elderly continually passed away and at the end of their lives, they just wanted to know their families would continue to have the language. One of the problems our people have is finding ways to get at length and consistent exposure to the language.”
Aside from giving instruction at the college level, Peters uses social media to share videos that integrate humor, culture, and basic level conversation to help teach Dakota. In his free time, he visits Dakota elders. He also started an online group of the youth to converse and share the knowledge of the language in a safe and supportive space.
Aki a Peters wants to tell the youth that if they want to learn their own language, sit with their elders and learn from them. Endless vocabulary sheets could discourage them from learning. Standards created by non speakers could also do that. “Within the next decade, I assume, I, my colleagues, and other Dakota learning relatives will have children and start a new generation of Dakota. I also hope my brothers and sisters will take the path we laid out for them and continue to learn and speak Dakota. On my reservation there are numerous young people working on the comeback of the language. I'm hopeful because I'm definitely not alone，” Aki a Peters told TeenVogue.
19．Why does Aki a Peters teach the Dakota language
A．To enrich his experience. B．To record its written form.
C．To prevent it dying out. D．To make it known globally.
20．What can we say about Aki a Peters according to Paragraph 3

22．Which section of a website is the text probably taken from
A．Research. B．Business.
C．Fashion. D．Culture.
Passage 7
Artificial intelligence helps teachers identify which of their students have learning difficulties,according to a new study.
Teachers make more accurate assessments of learning difficulties among their students if they are given AI-generated feedback(反馈) rather than an “expert solution” written by a qualified professional.Researchers believe that because the AI analyzed the teacher’s own work,it’s easier for the teacher to understand than a “model answer” prepared beforehand.
“Teachers play a critical role in recognizing the signs of disorders and learning difficulties in pupils and referring them to specialists,” said Riikka Hofmann.“Unfortunately,many of them feel that they have not had sufficient opportunity to practice these skills.AI could provide an extra level of individualized feedback to help them develop these essential competences.”
Trainee teachers were asked to assess fictionalized students for potential learning difficulties,based on evidence including examples of their work,school behavior records and written texts of conversations with parents.Half of the trainees received the “expert solution”,typical of the material given to trainee teachers,while the other half received AI-generated feedback on their approach,highlighting where they could improve.The trainees then completed similar follow-up assessments,and were graded both on the accuracy of their diagnoses(诊断) and on how well they had used the evidence.Trainees who received the AI feedback scored significantly higher than those who worked with the pre-written expert solutions.
While the researchers said this does not mean AI is preferable to one-to-one feedback from a skilled expert,this is not always available for trainee teachers.“We are not arguing that AI should replace teacher-educators:new teachers still need expert guidance on how to recognize learning difficulties in the first place,” said Dr Michael Sailer.“It does seem,however,that AI-generated feedback helped these trainees to focus on what they really needed to learn.When personal feedback is not readily available,it could be an effective substitute(代替物).”
23.What does the underlined word “them” refer to
A.Pupils. B.Teachers.
C.Specialists. D.Researchers.
24.What did AI help trainee teachers know in the study
A.How well they had used the evidence.

B.It acts as an expert guide to trainee teachers.
C.It is only suitable for new teachers to use.

Every holiday season,Patricia Gallagher fills her car with stuffed animals and drives around Philadelphia.She gives them not to kids but to seniors.
Patricia’s holiday tradition started in 2009.“I just got this idea to call two nursing homes at random and ask if I could come and read It Was the Night Before Christmas,” she said.She brought some of her kids’ stuffed animals for the seniors to hold while she read.“But when I went to gather them and take them back to go to the next nursing home,nobody wanted to give up their stuffed animals,” she added.It was then and there that she realized the power of a simple holiday gift.

Spreading joy isn’t just a holiday pastime for Patricia.She is also known as the “Happy Flower Lady” around Philadelphia,because she collects old flowers from stores and passes them out to anyone who needs a pick-me-up.
“When you give,you really do get more back,” Patricia said.“Every morning,whether it’s the flowers or the stuffed animals,I have a purpose.”

Passage 9
When Kim Ji-un lived in Seoul,she worried about finding a good job.Now,she is worried that drought may ruin her crop.The 23-year-old started a farm last year.Her first harvest was a success;she was surprised that her black beans did better than her strawberries.
Ms Kim is part of a phenomenon called kwichon,or returning to rural life.Coined a millennium ago,the term crops up during periods of economic hardship.This time,in the wake of the pandemic,many new farmers have never lived in the countryside before.By planting young farmers in rural areas,the government hopes to enjoy big rewards in future.
The plan is working.In 2021 nearly 380,000 people moved to the fort with digital technology gives young farmers a leg up,says Cho Kyung-ik,the director of the Beginning Farmer’s Centre,an institution educating those who wish to kwichon at its downtown offices.They sell fresh produce on Naver,South Korea’s largest search engine.
The centre teaches techniques like how to use a tractor(拖拉机) or select the best crops.It arranges a trial period during which ambitious farmers work under the guidance of an old hand,learning what it means to do back-breaking labour from dawn to dusk.
The most important lesson is how to get on with the locals.The villagers are also offered tips on how to act towards the newcomers.That part is not yet a total success.Ms Kim says her neighbours have a bad temper.“The old people come in here and give me unwanted advice,or say that I will never be able to grow anything,”she says.Her black beans beg to differ.She and the South Korean government will be hoping that her crops put the argument to rest for good.
31.Why does the writer tell Ms Kim’s story
A.To start a discussion.
B.To introduce a topic.
C.To explain a solution.
D.To make a comparison.
32.What does the underlined “a leg up” in paragraph 3 mean

C.A big reward. D.A different idea.
33.What is the challenge for the young farmers
A.Farming techniques.
B.Hard work.
C.Communicative skills.

34.What can we infer from kwichon in South Korea

Passage 10
There have been a few times in my life when I felt very lonely.I particularly remember my loneliness when I moved to New York City.I had a couple of friends in the city;however,it was a time in my life when I needed to put forth some effort to form more meaningful relationships.But the more I went out to parties,the more disconnected and lonely I felt.Feeling lonely in a room full of people,or in my case,a whole city packed with people everywhere,was the loneliest I have ever felt.
So,rather than trying a new way to make friends,I was more likely to ignore phone calls from friends,and I looked at social invitations and opportunities to meet new people as drudgery.Looking back on this period of loneliness,I wonder at the way I isolated myself instead of reaching out to those who were willing to keep me company and offer friendship.
What I have learned from my own experience and the experience of many of my friends is that more often than not,those who feel lonely choose isolation.Indeed many of my own friends describe avoiding social life as a way of dealing with feelings of loneliness.
This behavior is somewhat common,and new research takes a big step towards explaining this behavior.According to leading experts on the loneliness,Stephanie and John Cacioppo,there is an evolutionary explanation for this tendency to isolate when we are feeling lonely.By monitoring lonely people’s brainwaves,they found that lonely people tend to respond negatively to social life.“Loneliness causes some brain-related changes that put us into a socially nervous mode,” Dr.Christian Jarrett explains.
Making ourselves aware of this evolutionary natural tendency could actually be the first step in fighting loneliness.Once we know that we are more sensitive to negativity during lonely spells,we can focus our energy on resisting the desire to put up walls.
35.What happened to the author after she moved to New York City
A.She had no friends there.
B.She lacked confidence there.
C.She needed opportunities for parties.
D.She felt lonely even with people present.
36.How did the author try to deal with her situation
A.By refusing to go out to meet others.
B.By looking for solutions on the Internet.
C.By trying various methods to make friends.
D.By doing some drudgery to forget her problem.
37.What did Stephanie and John Cacioppo find in their research
A.Lonely people tend to disgust social life.
B.People respond negatively to lonely people.
C.Loneliness can do great harm to people’s health.
D.Loneliness can be caused by a socially nervous mode.
38.What does the author most probably want to show in the text
A.We shouldn’t be influenced by negativity.
B.We shouldn’t choose isolation when we feel lonely.
C.We should make friends based on scientific findings.
D.We should spend more time with friends than relatives.
Passage 11
I know it may be hard to convince you,but let me try:Don’t kill the next spider you see in your home.
People like to think of their dwellings as safely separated from the outside world,but many types of spiders can be found inside.Some are accidentally trapped,while others are short-term visitors.Some species even enjoy the great indoors,where they happily live out their lives and make more spiders.These fellows are usually secretive,and almost all you meet are neither aggressive nor dangerous.And they may be providing services like eating pests—some even eat other spiders.
My colleagues and I conducted a visual survey of 50 North Carolina homes.Every single house we visited was home to spiders.The most common species we encountered were cobweb spiders and cellar spiders.Both build webs where they lie in wait for prey(猎物) to get caught.Cellar spiders sometimes leave their webs to hunt other spiders.
Although they are all-around predators(捕食性动物),tending to eat anything they can catch,spiders regularly capture harmful pests and even disease-carrying insects—for example,mosquitoes.There’s even a species of jumping spider that prefers to eat blood-filled mosquitoes in African homes.So killing a spider doesn’t just cost the insect its life;it may take an important predator out of your home.
It’s natural to fear spiders.They have lots of legs and almost all are venomous—though the majority of species have venom(毒液) too weak to cause issues in humans,if their fangs can pierce our skin at all.Even entomologists themselves can fall prey to arachnophobia(蜘蛛恐惧症).I know a few spider researchers who overcame their fear by observing and working with these fascinating creatures.If they can do it,so can you!
39.What is a common misunderstanding of spiders according to paragraph 2
A.They can be trapped easily.
B.They often attack human beings.
C.They are friendly to human beings.
D.They live far away from human beings.
40.What will happen if you kill a spider in your home
A.Lose a great assistant.
B.Catch more insects.
C.Develop rare diseases.
D.Rescue other insects.
41.How can people get over their fear of spiders
A.By discovering their habitats.
B.By protecting their skin.
C.By getting along with them.
D.By recognizing their venom.
42.What does the text suggest people do about spiders
A.Spare spiders.
B.Monitor spiders.
C.Defeat spiders.
D.Control spiders.
Passage 12
Reading while traveling is more than pleasurable;it’s a necessity.It means resting our heads against the window while traveling on the subway,train,or bus,and immersing ourselves in distant worlds and other people’s lives.These waves of words help us make the journey seem shorter and distance ourselves from the noise.It can make our journey meaningful and help us to start our working days with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
Reading while traveling brings a unique context to one’s reading.Many people take specific books with them to tie into the places they’re traveling to.Few things are as enjoyable and satisfying as lifting your eyes to find yourself in the very same country,setting,or context that the book is set in.Of course,it isn’t necessary to visit the exact places in a novel in order to experience the sensations that the author is trying to transmit to you.Just the simple fact of being outside the four walls of your house brings new ingredients to reading:sounds,lights,faces,and sensations,among other things.
Reading while traveling improves your ability to concentrate.The truth is that not all people are able to concentrate on a book while they’re traveling.Our urban world is noisy.However,it’s interesting to note that those who have become used to reading while traveling have developed unique concentration and focusing skills.The ability to read,understand,and visualize other worlds and plots is a skill that can be applied to many other areas in life.
Reading,which is a ticket that transports you to places far beyond your physical destination,is a portable pastime.You don’t have to be in bed or on the couch in order to be able to enjoy a book.Reading while traveling is a great way to make the most of your time,thereby turning those moments of inactivity into very active ones for your brain.The only danger that we could point out is that you may get so immersed in your book that you might miss your stop!
43.What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A.Leaning against the window is recommended.
B.Words can keep readers distanced from the world.
C.Enjoying a book makes sufferings from noise pleasant.
D.Reading helps travelers absorbed in another world.
44.How do you feel when you are exploring the places you have read about in person
A.Lost. B.Uneasy.
C.Sensitive. D.Overjoyed.
45.What can we learn about those who are accustomed to reading while traveling
A.They can’t bear being in a noisy atmosphere.
B.They are unlikely to be distracted at work.
C.They can hardly keep focused on anything else.
D.They tend to be bookish and unrealistic.
46.What can be concluded about reading while traveling from the last paragraph
A.It partly replaces physical exercise.
B.It can boost travelers’ brain health.
C.It keeps you from missing stops.
D.It requires a favorable environment.
