Adding to the achievements of a remarkable year, Taylor Swift has been named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2023.
Already a superstar before 2023, Swift’s career has reached new heights thanks to the beginning of her Eras Tour that brought her 3.5-hour performance to 66 shows in 23 cities across North America, Argentina and Brazil.

Many dishes make up the world of Garifuna food, but hudutu is probably its signature (明显的特色). The dish is closest to Yolanda Castillo’s heart.
The head chef of Chicago’s Garifuna Flava, Castillo developed a love for food earlier. It was in her native country of Belize that she learned the secrets of making hudutu. “My mom showed me the traditional way of cooking our Garifuna food.” she says.
After moving to Chicago with her husband, Castillo stayed true to her roots, gathering family members for grand meals. Not a single visit happened without someone praising Castillo’s ability to copy her mother’s traditional Garifuna recipes.
“My husband would always say, ‘One day, I’m going to open a restaurant for her.’” Castillo says. In 2008, the couple’s restaurant, Garifuna Flava, opened its doors in Chicago. In addition to Garifuna food, Garifuna Flava serves up Belizean food like rice and beans. “It’s amazing to see how many people from around the world have been here to taste our Garifuna food.” she says.
“Garifuna food, in particular, tells us a Caribbean story and a Central American story,” says López Oro, whose work focuses on later generations of Garifuna immigrants.(移民) “It gives us an opportunity to really think about the generational history of Garifuna migration.”
Though hudutu requires much work, Castillo uses a food processor to speed things up. The more hudutu she’s able to make, the more she’s able to sell—increasing the possibility of introducing the food to a wider, ever-hungry audience.
“I think people are really devoted to making hudutu a household name,” says López Oro, referring to the dish and the urgency many Garinagu feel about protecting their history, in part, through their food’s most famous dish.
28.What did Yolanda Castillo do after settling in Chicago
A.She gathered families every weekend. B.She maintained the traditions of the food.
C.She developed a true love for cooking. D.She got married with Rhodel Castillo.
29.What can we know about Garifuna Flava
A.It has received diners from many countries. B.It was passed down from Castillo’s mother.
C.It primarily serves people rice and beans. D.It has already become a tourist attraction.
30.What can we infer about Garifuna food from the words of López Oro
A.It is easy for people to cook by themselves. B.It has been well-protected throughout history.
C.It inspired him to study the Garifuna history. D.It reflects the mixture of different cultures.
31.Why does Castill o use a food processor to make hudutu
A.To promote Garifuna food more efficiently. B.To follow health tendency in the food industry.
C.To increase the real income of her restaurant. D.To improve the appeal of hudutu worldwide.
D
It is a small step for a plant, and a giant leap for plant kind. A sprouting (发芽) cotton seed on China’s Chang’e-4 lunar lander is the first plant ever to grow in another world, indicating a new era for life in space.
Seeds, including cotton, arabidopsis (拟南芥), oilseed rape (油菜) and potato were carried to the Moon as a part of biological experiment, along with fruit fly eggs and some yeasts (酵母).
Pictures sent back by the probe show the cotton seeds sprouting on January 7, 2019, a few days after Chang’e-4 landed on the far side of the Moon.
The organisms (生物) are in a sealed can, protected from the extreme temperatures and radiation on the surface. “Understanding how to grow plants in space will help lay the foundation for human settlement on the Moon,” a scientist leading the experiment told the South China Morning Post.
The six organisms are intended to form a mini-ecosystem, with the plants making oxygen and food to sustain the fruit flies. Yeasts could process the flies’ waste and dead plants to provide another food source.
In a future human settlement, potatoes could provide food, rapeseed could be a source of oil and cotton could be used for clothing. A study in 2014 reported that plants could sprout and grow in lunar soil for 50 days without any additional nutrients (营养物). Over longer periods, human waste could help support plants’ nutritional needs.
These lunar green shoots aren’t the first plants in space. Astronauts on the International Space Station have grown crops including peas, radishes and cucumbers. They got their first bites of space-grown romaine lettuce in 2015.
The China National Space Administration eventually hopes to put humans on the Moon. “We are studying the program of sending astronauts to the Moon, but it’s still in very early stages,” a deputy director told the South China Morning Post. “We haven’t got the approval yet.”
32.When might Chang’e-4 land on the far side of the Moon
A.On January 7, 2019. B.On January 3, 2019.
C.On February 28, 2014. D.On February 3, 2015.
33.What is the benefit of growing plants on the Moon
A.It helps scientists understand the ecosystem in space.
B.It helps people living on the Moon feed themselves.
C.It helps support plants’ nutritional needs in space.
D.It helps set the basis for establishing settlements on the Moon.
34.What can we learn from the passage
A.Oxygen created by plants provides a food source.
B.The purpose of these organisms is to form a small ecosystem.
C.The yeast hardly plays a role in dealing with fruit flies’ waste.
D.The organisms can resist extreme heat and cold in the environment.
35.Which can be a suitable title for the passage
A.Living on the Moon
B.Flying to the Moon
C.Garden on Moon’s Far Side
D.Human Settlement on Moon’s Far Side

67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
My family had only recently moved into a new neighborhood. All of my neighbors have been very friendly and helpful since we moved in.
However, Mrs Davis, an elderly lady living in the last house on the other side of the road, escaped associating with us, or anyone else. When I asked around the neighborhood why, they warned me not to go after her because they thought she was insane (精神失常的) and preferred staying alone after losing her husband and only daughter in an aircraft crash. After that, she stayed isolated (孤立的) from all the neighbors, refusing all the care and help.
I often saw her on the streets during the evening, but she was always by herself. She appeared weak and I always wanted to help her, but after hearing what my neighbors had said about her, I wasn’t sure whether I should.
One day, when I was on my way to the supermarket, our paths crossed. I was walking past her and overheard her singing a tune. It immediately drew my attention because my parents used to sing the same song with me. I began to sing along with her, and she smiled at me for the first time. But when I smiled back, she quickly hurried her pace and went home.
She seemed very different to me that day. I refused to trust my neighbors’ claims that she had cut herself off from the rest of society because she was insane, so the next day, I knocked on her door. Mrs Davis was home, and instead of letting me in, she just looked at me silently through the window. I noticed her staring at me and was about to walk to the window when she quickly closed the curtains.
The next day, I revisited her house. “Hello, I brought you something,” I called out to her. “It’s the record of the music you were singing yesterday.”
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。
The door opened and Mrs Davis’ eyes widened in surprise at the sight of me standing there.

The Traditional Chinese Festival I Like Best
There are many traditional festivals in China. However, I like the Qingming Festival best. It is a festival which falls on either April 4 or 5, with a history of over 2,500 years.
The Qingming Festival is a time of many different activities,among which the main ones are tomb-sweeping, spring-outing and kite-flying. It is a combination of sadness and happiness. In the south of China, people like to eat qingtuan when going on spring outings during the Qingming Festival.
The reason why I like the festival is that I can have 3 days off and my family will get together. This day teaches us to honor our ancestors and respect the culture.
67.Model Essay
The door opened and Mrs Davis’ eyes widened in surprise at the sight of me standing there. I held out the record, “I thought you might enjoy this.” Mrs Davis slowly took it from my hands, staring at it. For a moment, she seemed lost in memories. “Thank you,” she whispered. Then I was invited into her house, feeling a sense of connection blossoming between us. “I used to listen to this song with my husband and daughter. It was their favorite,” she shared stories of her love for music, and the pain of her loss. When I left her house, I offered to hug her, and Mrs Davis’ eyes shone with newfound hope.
Several days later in the morning, the doorbell rang at my house. Surprising and delightful, it was Mrs Davis! She stood at our doorstep, holding a tray of freshly baked cookies, her eyes sparkling with warmth, “I wanted to thank you for bringing light to my life.” I replied excitedly, “I’m just more than glad to see you.” Gradually, Mrs Davis no longer cut herself from the world and she became a regular visitor to my house, also finding her way back to the community that cared for her. Sometimes, I realized that all it took was a small act of kindness to break down the barriers of loneliness.
