阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The best way to really see a city is to explore it slowly by walking around. It’s easy, healthy, and also benefits the environment. When on foot, you can do as the locals do. Here’s what you can find under your own steam.
Best for families: Planetenweg, Zurich
The 2,854 ft-tall, forest-covered peak that towers from Zurich’s doorstep is the envy of every European city. To get there, try the four-mile, two-hour-long route on Planetenweg. This family-friendly wander cuts in and out of spruce forests and gives you a proper flavour of being up in the mountains without ever actually leaving the city.
Best for art y vistas: Ekebergparken, Oslo
Come at sunrise or sunset, when the sky blazes above shining fjords （峡湾） and transforms the dark, rocky islands into shadows, and you can see why Oslo’s Ekebergparken inspired Munch to paint The Scream. Starting at the Ekebergparken Museum, the two-mile sculpture trail （小道） winds through pine, fir and ash forest, where plenty of phenomenal works of art await—Dalí’s surrealist Venus de Milo with Drawers and Damien Hirst’s Anatomy of an Angel among them.
Best for getting off the beaten track: Vienna Ugly, Vienna
The guided walks led by locals across Vienna div e into neighbourhoods that are off the usual tourist trail. Among them is Vienna Ugly, a 2.5-hour wander through Leopoldstadt and Innere Stadt. At the end of the tour, you’ll vote on which of the city’s buildings are the ugliest. Tours from 9.
Best for architecture: restad, Copenhagen
Copenhagen rode high as World Capital of Architecture 2023. A guided walk with the Danish Architecture Center throw you in at the architectural deep end for 2.5 hours, taking you to Copenhagen’s restad neighbourhood on the island of Amager. From 18.
（ ）21．What attracts travelers to Planetenweg
A．Mountains. B．Local flavour. C．Art works. D．Architecture.
（ ）22．Which of the following best suits sculpture-lovers
A．Planetenweg, Zurich, B．Ekebergparken, Oslo.
C．Vienna Ugly, Vienna. D． restad, Copenhagen.
（ ）23．What do the walks in Vienna and Copenhagen have in common
A．They are free of charge. B．They feature a voting activity.
C．They are guided tours. D．They go deep into the forests.
B
I was 10 when I saw my first total solar eclipse （日食）. It was 1979 and we were staying in Canada, where my dad worked for a time as a welder （焊工）. He was a great science enthusiast and had been talking about this eclipse for what seemed like years. He just didn’t tell me and my brother that we would have to get up at daybreak and head out into the freezing February weather to experience this event.
Dad told us we were lucky even to be near the path of totality, and noted that unless we were prepared to travel extensively, our next chance to see a total solar eclipse likely wouldn’t happen until the 21st century. So, we rode in moody silence out to some field where loads of other people were wandering about, waiting in the cold for their moment in the sun’s absence.
My brother complained that we wouldn’t really be able to look at the eclipse without being blinded. But my dad, who generally thought of everything, produced two awkward welding masks （面罩）, which he fitted to our heads. The masks preserved our eyesight, and also quietened our grousing. It’s hard to know which feature of the masks my dad appreciated more.
Soon, it didn’t matter. The moon passed between us and the sun. The lights of the world dimmed, then went dark. There was a collective “Oooooh!” from the crowd. Some people even screamed. My brother simply said, “Whoa.” And he spoke for all of us down through the ages who have been struck by the awe and wonder of a total solar eclipse. You can read more about humanity’s encounters with some of the great eclipses in history with our story on page 40.
My dad did not live to see another eclipse, but he’ll be with me in spirit when I view the next one this April, right around the time you’re reading this. I hope you get to see it, too.
Stephen C. George, Editorial Director

A new drug-delivery system could replace needles with puffs （股） of air. Gassensmith studies bioengineering at the University of Texas. His team’s new tech goes beyond patient comfort, though. The device quickly delivers drugs without touching the bloodstream. And that could reduce the risk of spreading disease. He tested it out on his own arm. “I could feel it, but it wasn’t painful,” he reports.
The technology works by blowing in a puff of air through the skin. That gas carries a powder made of tiny bits of vaccine （疫苗） wrapped in metallic crystals （晶体）. The crystal coating is really strong, Gassensmith says. As a result, the vaccine powder does not have to be refrigerated while stored. The air contains carbon dioxide, or CO2. Once in the body, the CO2 that carries the powder will mix with water. It creates a weak acid that breaks down the crystal cover. Released, the vaccine bits are then able to enter the bloodstream.
This gas-based drug-delivery system is an upgrade over previous ones. For instance, adjusting the gas that carries the vaccine powder can customize how fast the tiny crystal capsules release the drug. Testing showed that the drug released fastest when delivered with carbon dioxide. Plain air led to a slower, gentler release. Vaccines work best when released slowly. That allows them longer contact with the immune （免疫） system. But the team hopes the device could work for other medicines too. And some medicines must be released quickly. One such example is insulin, a crucial drug for many people with diabetes.
Fear of needles keeps many people from getting vaccinations. Gassensmith is optimistic that this new system might get around that. Future research must ensure that gas-delivered vaccines build immunity to disease as expected, said Weniger, a doctor, who studied vaccine technology for 30 years for the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
（ ）28．What can we learn about the new drug-delivery system from paragraph 1
A．It causes the loss of feeling. B．It improves the use of needle.
C．It cares about patient comfort. D．It blocks the spread of disease.
（ ）29．What is the function of the crystals
A．To create a weak acid. B．To absorb carbon dioxide.
C．To clean the bloodstream. D．To contain the vaccine.
（ ）30．What is the advantage of the upgraded drug-delivery system
A．Flexibility. B．Durability. C．High speed. D．Gentle release.
（ ）31．What should the future study focus on according to Weniger
A．The effectiveness of gas-based vaccines. B．The acceptance of getting vaccinations.
C．The influence of vaccine on disease control. D．The operation of the new drug-delivery system.

When you try a new restaurant or book a hotel, do you consider the online reviews Do you submit online reviews yourself Do you pay attention if they are filtered （过滤） Does that impact your own online review submissions
In 2010, Yelp shared a video to help users understand how its review filter works and why it was necessary. In recently published research, T. Ravichandran, Ph. D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and his team compared reviews of over 1,000 restaurants on Yelp to those same restaurants on TripAdvisor, which did not openly share its review filter policies. They found that the number of review s submitted to Yelp decreased. Those submissions were increasingly negative and shorter in length compared to TripAdvisor. Also, the more positive a review, the shorter it was.
“Platforms are pressured to have content guidelines and take measures to prevent fraud （欺诈） and ensure that reviews are reliable and helpful,” said Ravichandran. Platforms use advanced software to flag and filter reviews. Once a review is flagged, it is filtered out and not displayed, and it is not factored into the overall rating for a business. “However, most platforms do not openly disclose their policies, leading consumers to suspect that reviews are controlled to increase profit by filtering so-called dishonest content,” Ravichandran added.
Whether or not to disclose review filters is a critical decision for platforms with many considerations. Users may put less time and effort into their review s if they suspect that they have a significant chance of being filtered, or they may do the opposite to make their reviews less likely to be filtered. Since most false reviews are overly positive, users may assume that positive reviews are most likely to be filtered and act accordingly.
“Review moderation （审核） openness comes at a cost,”said Ravichandran. “Although openness helps to position a platform as fair toward advertisers, the resultant decrease in the number of reviews submitted impacts the platform’s usefulness to consumers.” Online reviews pose great opportunity for firms, but also raise complex questions. Platforms must earn the trust of users without sacrificing engagement.
（ ）32．What did Ravichandran’s research find
A．Positive submissions to Yelp went up.
B．TripAdvisor adopted better filter policies.
C．Reviews on TripAdvisor dropped in number.
D．Yelp’s practice discouraged longer reviews.
（ ）33．Why do platforms use advanced software for reviews
A．To increase net profit. B．To protect user privacy.
C．To guarantee review reliability. D．To improve business reputation.
（ ）34．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Users. B．Reviews. C．Considerations. D．Platforms.
（ ）35．What is the best title for the text
A．Enhance User Trust Through Review Moderation
B．To Filter Online Reviews Think Before You Start
C．How Review Moderation Openness Shapes User Conduct
D．Online Reviews: Filter the Fraud, But Don’t Tell Us How

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Surprising Strength of “Weak” Social Ties
It’s long been known that a community of supportive relationships improves our quality of life and can even help us recover from illness. 36 . Regularly interacting with a wide variety of social ties, both “weak” and “strong”, enhances our satisfaction. A rich diversity of ties provides more significant benefits to well-being, and “weak” social ties can prove just as important to life satisfaction as core, or “strong” ties. 37 . There you can find the people who cheer, serve, support, comfort, educate, motivate, and entertain you.
Claire gets cheered up by going to the library and chatting with her favorite librarian every week. Sherry gets great joy from her Sunday breakfasts at a local diner because the manager and her favorite waitress are nice to her. 38 . I remember discussing Anna Karenina on an airplane with a wise economics professor, and finding meaningful moments of joy with street musicians and performers.
39 . When you show kindness to a stranger, your seemingly small act might stay in their memory as a source of support and positivity. Everyone needs to feel significant in the eyes of another. You could be that person for someone in your extended circle. That’s why it’s so important to reach out to people around you, especially when they’re going through hard times.
When we feel blue or lonely, we tend to turn down social engagements, either to avoid the imagined embarrassment of being the only sad person in a group or because socializing with people we don’t know well can be awkward at first. 40 . Being open to both our strong and weak ties allows us to benefit from the comfort, connection, and community they provide.
A．All of those connections matter—and so do you
B．Harvard researcher Hanne Collin s discovered something new
C．Even those we meet only once can leave a lasting impression
D．Our shared kindness and familiarity offer me a sense of community
E．Interacting with the weak ties encourages us to behave more professionally
F．But saying yes, despite the hesitation, offers an opportunity to feel less lonely
G．So notice, pay attention to, and be grateful for your big, wide world of loose social ties

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。
Hettie’s eyes fell on a magazine she hadn’t noticed before in her bag. She took it out and read the Post-it note her mom had stuck to the cover.
Page 8! So Cool!
Love, Mom
Hettie smiled. Mom always slipped a little surprise into her bag. Hettie jumped onto her bed and wrapped herself in the blanket, opening the magazine to page eight straight. There was a huge ad: “DO YOU WANNA BE CALIFORNIA LEE’S BEST FRIEND FOREVER Make a video telling us how much you love her and you could win a day with Pop Teen’s rising star CALIFORNIA LEE!”
Hettie tried to see the Cally she had known through the makeup and the fancy clothes. Her eyes sparkled （闪烁） the same emerald green as they had in Hettie’s backyard when Cally told her the big news. “I got the part!” She sang out as she bounced up and down on the swing. Hettie had been excited, too. Cally had really wanted this part. It was in Rock Club, a TV musical on Pop Teen. It was, she said, how all of Pop Teen Channel’s stars started out.
Then the musical came out and Cally, now California Lee, was busy all the time. The last time the two girls had seen each other was at Cally’s birthday party. Even in her best dress and new shoes, Hettie felt out of place. Most of the kids at the party were actors. Big boxes with massive bows covered the birthday present table. Overwhelmed and feeling shy, Hettie took her gift—a flashlight, and sat in a corner. No one came to look for her until her mom arrived to pick her up. Soon after, Cally moved to Los Angeles with her family.
The next day, Hettie arrived at school earlier than usual, with the magazine under her arm, her book bag over her shoulder. After making sure that no one in the schoolyard was watching, Hettie dropped her bag on the ground and pulled out her phone.
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。
She held the phone as far as she could from her face and pressed record.
Hettie’s heart sank as she realized that she wasn’t the winner.

I was 10 when I saw my first total solar eclipse （日食）. It was 1979 and we were staying in Canada, where my dad worked for a time as a welder （焊工）. He was a great science enthusiast and had been talking about this eclipse for what seemed like years. He just didn’t tell me and my brother that we would have to get up at daybreak and head out into the freezing February weather to experience this event.
Dad told us we were lucky even to be near the path of totality, and noted that unless we were prepared to travel extensively, our next chance to see a total solar eclipse likely wouldn’t happen until the 21st century. So, we rode in moody silence out to some field where loads of other people were wandering about, waiting in the cold for their moment in the sun’s absence.
My brother complained that we wouldn’t really be able to look at the eclipse without being blinded. But my dad, who generally thought of everything, produced two awkward welding masks （面罩）, which he fitted to our heads. The masks preserved our eyesight, and also quietened our grousing. It’s hard to know which feature of the masks my dad appreciated more.
Soon, it didn’t matter. The moon passed between us and the sun. The lights of the world dimmed, then went dark. There was a collective “Oooooh!” from the crowd. Some people even screamed. My brother simply said, “Whoa.” And he spoke for all of us down through the ages who have been struck by the awe and wonder of a total solar eclipse. You can read more about humanity’s encounters with some of the great eclipses in history with our story on page 40.
My dad did not live to see another eclipse, but he’ll be with me in spirit when I view the next one this April, right around the time you’re reading this. I hope you get to see it, too.

A new drug-delivery system could replace needles with puffs （股） of air. Gassensmith studies bioengineering at the University of Texas. His team’s new tech goes beyond patient comfort, though. The device quickly delivers drugs without touching the bloodstream. And that could reduce the risk of spreading disease. He tested it out on his own arm. “I could feel it, but it wasn’t painful,” he reports.
The technology works by blowing in a puff of air through the skin. That gas carries a powder made of tiny bits of vaccine （疫苗） wrapped in metallic crystals （晶体）. The crystal coating is really strong, Gassensmith says. As a result, the vaccine powder does not have to be refrigerated while stored. The air contains carbon dioxide, or CO2. Once in the body, the CO2 that carries the powder will mix with water. It creates a weak acid that breaks down the crystal cover. Released, the vaccine bits are then able to enter the bloodstream.
This gas-based drug-delivery system is an upgrade over previous ones. For instance, adjusting the gas that carries the vaccine powder can customize how fast the tiny crystal capsules release the drug. Testing showed that the drug released fastest when delivered with carbon dioxide. Plain air led to a slower, gentler release. Vaccines work best when released slowly. That allows them longer contact with the immune （免疫） system. But the team hopes the device could work for other medicines too. And some medicines must be released quickly. One such example is insulin, a crucial drug for many people with diabetes.
Fear of needles keeps many people from getting vaccinations. Gassensmith is optimistic that this new system might get around that. Future research must ensure that gas-delivered vaccines build immunity to disease as expected, said Weniger, a doctor, who studied vaccine technology for 30 years for the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

When you try a new restaurant or book a hotel, do you consider the online reviews Do you submit online reviews yourself Do you pay attention if they are filtered （过滤） Does that impact your own online review submissions
In 2010, Yelp shared a video to help users understand how its review filter works and why it was necessary. In recently published research, T. Ravichandran, Ph. D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and his team compared reviews of over 1,000 restaurants on Yelp to those same restaurants on TripAdvisor, which did not openly share its review filter policies. They found that the number of review s submitted to Yelp decreased. Those submissions were increasingly negative and shorter in length compared to TripAdvisor. Also, the more positive a review, the shorter it was.
“Platforms are pressured to have content guidelines and take measures to prevent fraud （欺诈） and ensure that reviews are reliable and helpful,” said Ravichandran. Platforms use advanced software to flag and filter reviews. Once a review is flagged, it is filtered out and not displayed, and it is not factored into the overall rating for a business. “However, most platforms do not openly disclose their policies, leading consumers to suspect that reviews are controlled to increase profit by filtering so-called dishonest content,” Ravichandran added.
Whether or not to disclose review filters is a critical decision for platforms with many considerations. Users may put less time and effort into their review s if they suspect that they have a significant chance of being filtered, or they may do the opposite to make their reviews less likely to be filtered. Since most false reviews are overly positive, users may assume that positive reviews are most likely to be filtered and act accordingly.
“Review moderation （审核） openness comes at a cost,”said Ravichandran. “Although openness helps to position a platform as fair toward advertisers, the resultant decrease in the number of reviews submitted impacts the platform’s usefulness to consumers.” Online reviews pose great opportunity for firms, but also raise complex questions. Platforms must earn the trust of users without sacrificing engagement.
（ ）32．What did Ravichandran’s research find
A．Positive submissions to Yelp went up.
B．TripAdvisor adopted better filter policies.
C．Reviews on TripAdvisor dropped in number.
D．Yelp’s practice discouraged longer reviews.
（ ）33．Why do platforms use advanced software for reviews
A．To increase net profit. B．To protect user privacy.
C．To guarantee review reliability. D．To improve business reputation.
（ ）34．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Users. B．Reviews. C．Considerations. D．Platforms.
（ ）35．What is the best title for the text
A．Enhance User Trust Through Review Moderation
B．To Filter Online Reviews Think Before You Start
C．How Review Moderation Openness Shapes User Conduct
D．Online Reviews: Filter the Fraud, But Don’t Tell Us How

The Surprising Strength of “Weak” Social Ties
It’s long been known that a community of supportive relationships improves our quality of life and can even help us recover from illness. 36 . Regularly interacting with a wide variety of social ties, both “weak” and “strong”, enhances our satisfaction. A rich diversity of ties provides more significant benefits to well-being, and “weak” social ties can prove just as important to life satisfaction as core, or “strong” ties. 37 . There you can find the people who cheer, serve, support, comfort, educate, motivate, and entertain you.
Claire gets cheered up by going to the library and chatting with her favorite librarian every week. Sherry gets great joy from her Sunday breakfasts at a local diner because the manager and her favorite waitress are nice to her. 38 . I remember discussing Anna Karenina on an airplane with a wise economics professor, and finding meaningful moments of joy with street musicians and performers.
39 . When you show kindness to a stranger, your seemingly small act might stay in their memory as a source of support and positivity. Everyone needs to feel significant in the eyes of another. You could be that person for someone in your extended circle. That’s why it’s so important to reach out to people around you, especially when they’re going through hard times.
When we feel blue or lonely, we tend to turn down social engagements, either to avoid the imagined embarrassment of being the only sad person in a group or because socializing with people we don’t know well can be awkward at first. 40 . Being open to both our strong and weak ties allows us to benefit from the comfort, connection, and community they provide.
A．All of those connections matter—and so do you
B．Harvard researcher Hanne Collin s discovered something new
C．Even those we meet only once can leave a lasting impression
D．Our shared kindness and familiarity offer me a sense of community
E．Interacting with the weak ties encourages us to behave more professionally
F．But saying yes, despite the hesitation, offers an opportunity to feel less lonely
G．So notice, pay attention to, and be grateful for your big, wide world of loose social ties

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。
Hettie’s eyes fell on a magazine she hadn’t noticed before in her bag. She took it out and read the Post-it note her mom had stuck to the cover.
Page 8! So Cool!
Love, Mom
Hettie smiled. Mom always slipped a little surprise into her bag. Hettie jumped onto her bed and wrapped herself in the blanket, opening the magazine to page eight straight. There was a huge ad: “DO YOU WANNA BE CALIFORNIA LEE’S BEST FRIEND FOREVER Make a video telling us how much you love her and you could win a day with Pop Teen’s rising star CALIFORNIA LEE!”
Hettie tried to see the Cally she had known through the makeup and the fancy clothes. Her eyes sparkled （闪烁） the same emerald green as they had in Hettie’s backyard when Cally told her the big news. “I got the part!” She sang out as she bounced up and down on the swing. Hettie had been excited, too. Cally had really wanted this part. It was in Rock Club, a TV musical on Pop Teen. It was, she said, how all of Pop Teen Channel’s stars started out.
Then the musical came out and Cally, now California Lee, was busy all the time. The last time the two girls had seen each other was at Cally’s birthday party. Even in her best dress and new shoes, Hettie felt out of place. Most of the kids at the party were actors. Big boxes with massive bows covered the birthday present table. Overwhelmed and feeling shy, Hettie took her gift—a flashlight, and sat in a corner. No one came to look for her until her mom arrived to pick her up. Soon after, Cally moved to Los Angeles with her family.
The next day, Hettie arrived at school earlier than usual, with the magazine under her arm, her book bag over her shoulder. After making sure that no one in the schoolyard was watching, Hettie dropped her bag on the ground and pulled out her phone.
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。
She held the phone as far as she could from her face and pressed record.
Hettie’s heart sank as she realized that she wasn’t the winner.
