Museum of Broadway
This museum, which opened in 2022, puts exhibits about Broadway centre stage. It has teamed up with internationally renowned artists, designers and theatre historians to create an interactive experience that highlights groundbreaking moments in Broadway’s history—the moments that pushed creative boundaries, challenged social norms and paved the way for those who would follow.
The Museum of Modern Art
The museum has been showcasing the world’s finest modern and contemporary works for almost a century, having opened back in 1929. The institution’s evolving collection contains 200,000 works from around the world, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, photography, architecture, design, film, media and performance art. Highlights of the collection include Van Gogh’s The Starry Night. Other big hitters are Andy Warhol’s striking Gold Marilyn Monroe and his famous Campbell’s Soup Cans.
Whitney Museum of American Art
Opened in 2015, the current building was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano, the brains behind Paris’ Centre Pompidou and The Shard in London. With the whole view of New York City, the building makes a fitting home for one of the world’s most extensive and imaginative holdings of American art. The museum of 25,000 works was built around the personal collection of its founder, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, whose initial 600 pieces included works by realist painter Edward Hopper. Today the institution is famed for displaying works by living artists, anchored by its signature exhibition the Whitney Biennial.
Guggenheim Museum
The museum’s twirling (旋转的) white building is a masterpiece in itself. It was designed in 1943 by Frank Lloyd Wright, one of America’s most celebrated architects. The exhibitions are world-class, too. The permanent collection has amounted to some 8,000 pieces, with everything from bronze sculptures by French Impressionist artist Edgar Degas to pieces by key figures such as Lawrence Weiner, a conceptual artist in the 1960s.

Plumbers (管子工) are usually thought of as the go-to persons when you have a leaky sink, but as a matter of fact, plumbing is much more than just a blue -collar job. The Elite Trades Championship Series(ETCS)seeks to change the way people think about plumbing.

“We are incredibly excited to introduce the Plumbing National Championship(PNC)to the 8th annual Elite Trades Championship Series,” Scott Mendel, SVP of the ETCS said. “With successful championship events in electricity, automobile, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning, this new event will display the remarkable talents of plumbing professionals and push the plumbing trade to new heights.”
The ETCS is organized to show the knowledge and expertise among America’s professionals in various trades who are competing for a prize from a variety of sponsors, while presenting the level of knowledge and skills that the trade industries require.
The Plumbing National Championship kicked off on July 10, 2023 as a way for plumbers to compete against one another in a series of digital and live hands-on challenges. The participants had to prove their expert knowledge in a variety of skills related to plumbing in real-world challenges.
The competition lasted for about four months and the finalists competed against each other in Tampa, Florida on October 27, 2023.
Craig Childress, a skilled tradesman from Boston University won the plumbing championship. With a big share of the prize money, he was delighted. “Professionally, this is the most wonderful thing that’s ever happened to me,” he said. “It’s been an unbelievable journey. I’m incredibly grateful.”

Most people can think of a time when they were in a bad mood after a long day at work and a shop assistant gave them a warm smile. Or maybe they overheard their bus-mate speaking German and ended up filling the morning commute（通勤）with a stimulating conversation about an upcoming trip.
Nicholas Epley, a psychologist at the University of Chicago conducted a study. Participants speaking to strangers on public transportation during their morning commutes reported having a more enjoyable commute.
Epley shared why speaking to strangers may have such a mood boosting impact. Loneliness, Epley explained, is one of the most dangerous social stressors and is even more physically harmful than obesity（肥胖）. “It’s larger than air pollution, which we spend an awful lot of time worrying about.” Making connections with those around us can reduce loneliness and its harmful impacts.
Despite all the benefits of conversing with strangers, there are some factors that hold people back from new social connections.
Psychologist Gillian Sandstrom thinks that people don’t talk with strangers, simply because most people don’t have the skills or confidence to do so. To address this, she ran London-based events to help people gain confidence in initiating conversations with strangers. Sandstrom said, “By the end, those participants don’t want to stop talking.”
Sandstrom wanted to take this success a step further and she started hosting events where people were forced to talk with strangers. For example, using the app GooseChase, Sandstrom made a campaign that required participants to talk to people with a variety of characteristics. This event was also successful with four fifths of participants sharing that they learned something new, and nearly half hoping to keep in touch with a new-found friend.
People spend so much of our day around strangers such as in line at the store, on public transportation, and in the office. Why not take advantage of being around people you don’t know Flash a smile or start up a conversation, and you will make two people’s day nicer.
8. Why does Nicholas Epley mention air pollution
A. To show the strong impact of loneliness on mood.
B. To highlight the significance of making connections.
C. To introduce the benefits of conversing with strangers.
D. To prove the necessity of creating a good environment.
9. What can we learn about Gillian Sandstrom’s London-based events
A. They provide new job opportunities.
B. They are highly enjoyed by the participants.
C. They boost people’s confidence in society.
D. They explore why people don’t talk to strangers.
10. How does the author show the success of the app-based campaign
A. By referring to quotes. B. By listing examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By showing statistics.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To urge people to interact with strangers.
B. To relieve commuters from awkwardness.
C. To help people improve communication skills.
D. To remind people to pay attention to their surroundings.
D
The hottest year on record is coming to a close, emissions of planet-warming gases are still rising globally, and the most ambitious climate goal set by world leaders is all but impossible to meet, according to a new analysis by the United Nations.
Between 2021 and 2022, global greenhouse gas emissions grew about 1%, the analysis finds. Emissions need to fall as quickly as possible to avoid catastrophic climate impacts such as uncontrollable sea level rise, unsurvivable heat in some areas and mass extinction of plants and animals.
Right now, the world is headed for at least 4.5℉ of warming this century compared to global temperatures in the late 1800s. It is assumed that countries will do everything they have currently promised under the Paris Agreement, including things that some governments have said they’ll only do if wealthy countries follow through on promises to help foot the bill, for example, helping to pay for renewable energy infrastructure in less wealthy nations. If such conditions aren’t met, the planet is headed for more than 5°F of warming, the analysis finds.
The new range is ever so slightly lower than predicted in last year’s analysis, which reflects the very slow progress that humanity is making on slowing emissions and controlling future warming. Even the lower end of the current projected temperature range — 4.5°F of warming — is extremely high. And the lower target is likely out of reach entirely at this point — a finding that is backed up by another recent study.
The new analysis emphasizes once again that controlling oil, gas and coal operations is key to controlling global warming. It finds that, if humans extract (提取) and burn all the oil, gas and coal currently in development worldwide, countries would collectively emit enough greenhouse gases to basically hit the higher temperature target under the Paris Agreement. That means all new oil, gas and coal extraction is essentially incompatible (对立的) with avoiding harmful warming later this century. Right now, many countries including the United States are still allowing new fossil fuel extraction.
12. What does the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Limited. B. Invisible. C. Ruinous. D. Controllable.
13. What is a worrying situation the world faces now according to the text
A. Solutions to global warming aren’t clear.
B. The world is heading to a warmer future.
C. Countries are unwilling to make promises.
D. The temperature target is unrealistically high.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the USA’s current move
A. Indifferent. B. Optimistic. C. Cautious. D. Critical.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. A new analysis is calling for all the countries to reach an agreement.
B. Fossil fuel extraction control is far from a solution to pollution.
C. The huge impacts of global warming are predictable but uncontrollable.
D. The world is far behind on controlling planet-warming pollution.

“You’re fired!” Andrew Chilton wasn’t joking. At that moment, the high school junior wanted his personal care attendant, Christy Chachere, out of his life forever. He didn’t want her to tell him he needed help when he intended to use the computer—he believed he could write his own term papers.
“You’re fired!” He said it again for extra emphasis. And Andrew’s outburst Actually, it was music to Christy’s ears. It meant much progress and she’d got through to Andrew finally.
When 8-year-old Andrew was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a developmental disorder which affects emotional, communication and behavioral skills, people told his mom, Cindy, to get him on the list for an attendant to provide after-school care. In New Orleans, Louisiana, the wait can be years; the need is far more than the supply. Cindy chose a program through Volunteers of America, a national faith-based organization.
Even so, it was eight years before they were matched with Christy. In the meantime, Andrew’s family did their best to shelter him from life’s hardships. “I’m worried about him,” Cindy says. There was a lot to worry about. Doctors and school officials predicted that Andrew might not even graduate from the high school. Cindy would do anything for her son.
Christy saw the problem right away. “Andrew wouldn’t take a step without his mother’s permission,” she remembers. “You have to let him fail,” she told the family. “It’s the only way he’s going to learn to do things on his own.”
No longer would Cindy write Andrew’s papers for him. His younger brother wouldn’t help him use the computer. Christy wouldn’t be helping him with his homework, either. It was a little scary to step back. But everyone was on board. Everyone but Andrew.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

The hottest year on record is coming to a close, emissions of planet-warming gases are still rising globally, and the most ambitious climate goal set by world leaders is all but impossible to meet, according to a new analysis by the United Nations.
Between 2021 and 2022, global greenhouse gas emissions grew about 1%, the analysis finds. Emissions need to fall as quickly as possible to avoid catastrophic climate impacts such as uncontrollable sea level rise, unsurvivable heat in some areas and mass extinction of plants and animals.
Right now the world is headed for at least 4.5℉ of warming this century compared to global temperatures in the late 1800s. It is assumed that countries will do everything they have currently promised under the Paris Agreement, including things that some governments have said they’ll only do if wealthy countries follow through on promises to help foot the bill, for example, helping to pay for renewable energy infrastructure in less wealthy nations. If such conditions aren’t met, the planet is headed for more than 5°F of warming, the analysis finds.
The new range is ever so slightly lower than predicted in last year’s analysis, which reflects the very slow progress that humanity is making on slowing emissions and controlling future warming. Even the lower end of the current projected temperature range — 4.5°F of warming — is extremely high. And the lower target is likely out of reach entirely at this point — a finding that is backed up by another recent study.
The new analysis emphasizes once again that controlling oil, gas and coal operations is key to controlling global warming. It finds that, if humans extract (提取) and burn all the oil, gas and coal currently in development worldwide, countries would collectively emit enough greenhouse gases to basically hit the higher temperature target under the Paris Agreement. That means all new oil, gas and coal extraction is essentially incompatible (对立的) with avoiding harmful warming later this century. Right now, many countries including the United States are still allowing new fossil fuel extraction.
12. What does the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Limited. B. Invisible. C. Ruinous. D. Controllable.
13. What is a worrying situation the world faces now according to the text
A. Solutions to global warming aren’t clear.
B. The world is heading to a warmer future.
C. Countries are unwilling to make promises.
D. The temperature target is unrealistically high.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the USA’s current move
A. Indifferent. B. Optimistic. C. Cautious. D. Critical.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. A new analysis is calling for all the countries to reach an agreement.
B. Fossil fuel extraction control is far from a solution to pollution.
C. The huge impacts of global warming are predictable but uncontrollable.
D. The world is far behind on controlling planet-warming pollution.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了全世界在控制全球变暖方面所做的努力还远远不够。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“Emissions need to fall as quickly as possible to avoid catastrophic climate impacts such as uncontrollable sea level rise, unsurvivable heat in some areas and mass extinction of plants and animals.(排放量需要尽快下降，以避免catastrophic气候影响，如无法控制的海平面上升、某些地区无法生存的高温以及动植物的大规模灭绝。)”中的“such as uncontrollable sea level rise, unsurvivable heat in some areas and mass extinction of plants and animals(比如无法控制的海平面上升，某些地区无法生存的高温，以及动植物的大规模灭绝)”可推知，划线词所在句子表示“排放量需要尽快下降，以避免灾难性的气候影响，如无法控制的海平面上升、某些地区无法生存的高温以及动植物的大规模灭绝”，划线词catastrophic意为“灾难性的，毁灭性的”，和ruinous意思相近。故选C。
13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Right now, the world is headed for at least 4.5℉ of warming this century compared to global temperatures in the late 1800s.(目前，与19世纪后期的全球气温相比，本世纪的全球气温至少上升了4.5华氏度。)”和“If such conditions aren’t met, the planet is headed for more than 5°F of warming, the analysis finds.(分析发现，如果不满足这些条件，地球的温度将上升5华氏度以上。)”可知，世界正在变暖。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That means all new oil, gas and coal extraction is essentially incompatible (对立的) with avoiding harmful warming later this century. Right now, many countries including the United States are still allowing new fossil fuel extraction.(这意味着所有新的石油、天然气和煤炭开采基本上都与避免本世纪晚些时候有害的变暖不相容。目前，包括美国在内的许多国家仍在允许开采新的化石燃料。)”可推知，作者对美国的做法持批判的态度。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The hottest year on record is coming to a close, emissions of planet-warming gases are still rising globally, and the most ambitious climate goal set by world leaders is all but impossible to meet, according to a new analysis by the United Nations.(联合国的一项最新分析显示，有记录以来最热的一年即将结束，全球温室气体排放量仍在上升，世界各国领导人设定的最雄心勃勃的气候目标几乎不可能实现。)”可知，本文主要讲的是联合国的一项最新分析揭示了全球气候变化的严峻形势。分析指出，尽管有记录以来最热的一年即将结束，但全球温室气体排放量仍在上升，使得世界各国领导人设定的最雄心勃勃的气候目标几乎无法实现，因此本文主旨是D选项“The world is far behind on controlling planet-warming pollution.(在控制导致地球变暖的污染方面，世界远远落后。)”。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“You’re fired!” Andrew Chilton wasn’t joking. At that moment, the high school junior wanted his personal care attendant, Christy Chachere, out of his life forever. He didn’t want her to tell him he needed help when he intended to use the computer—he believed he could write his own term papers.
“You’re fired!” He said it again for extra emphasis. And Andrew’s outburst Actually, it was music to Christy’s ears. It meant much progress and she’d got through to Andrew finally.
When 8-year-old Andrew was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a developmental disorder which affects emotional, communication and behavioral skills, people told his mom, Cindy, to get him on the list for an attendant to provide after-school care. In New Orleans, Louisiana, the wait can be years; the need is far more than the supply. Cindy chose a program through Volunteers of America, a national faith-based organization.
Even so, it was eight years before they were matched with Christy. In the meantime, Andrew’s family did their best to shelter him from life’s hardships. “I’m worried about him,” Cindy says. There was a lot to worry about. Doctors and school officials predicted that Andrew might not even graduate from the high school. Cindy would do anything for her son.
Christy saw the problem right away. “Andrew wouldn’t take a step without his mother’s permission,” she remembers. “You have to let him fail,” she told the family. “It’s the only way he’s going to learn to do things on his own.”
No longer would Cindy write Andrew’s papers for him. His younger brother wouldn’t help him use the computer. Christy wouldn’t be helping him with his homework either. It was a little scary to step back. But everyone was on board. Everyone but Andrew.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Andrew complained, loudly at times, but then things began to change.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
