Many economists predict 2024 will be the time shoppers tighten their belts. That doesn’t mean people will stop spending, say retail (零售) analysts. But it will change what they choose to buy. With a slowing job market, global consumers are likely to move away from more high-priced purchases and focus instead on smaller, less expensive treats.
The economic uncertainty means that consumers are becoming more discriminating about their purchases, says Ethan Chermofsky, senior vice president of marketing at intelligence platform Placer. ai. “There are the things we decide are necessary, and then there’s another category of things that aren’t necessary but that we consider affordable luxuries, he says. This desire for these “affordable luxuries” is common in difficult economic times. Some economists refer to the phenomenon as the “lipstick index”: a small economic increase led by budget-minded consumers seeking out relatively affordable splurges (挥霍), like small cosmetics (化妆品).
Analysts at Deloitte say consumers will spend on little luxuries like specialty coffees and snacks as well. Additionally, stressed-out shoppers are prioritizing small splurge purchases for wellness and personal care.
As retailers see shoppers turning to little luxuries, they’re offering more and more of them. Target, for example, has staked a flag in what they refer to as “affordable joy”, which includes a selection of self-care and cosmetic products, along with wellness-centric beauty products. Beyond diversifying their offerings, stores are also bringing in luxury-feeling products at lower price points to appeal to more consumers.
Ethan says not every shopper will shift their spending to little luxuries-but even those who are still longing for the “must-haves” of social media will also look to get a deal. They want the feeling of purchasing lower-priced affordable treats. To get these goods, shoppers are likely to tap into the re-sale market for designer items at a more reasonable price. They want things that make them feel good about themselves-they just want to do it without breaking the bank.
24.What can affordable luxuries be
A.Inexpensive daily necessities. B.High-end products.
C.Reasonably-priced designer items. D.High-priced purchases.
25.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The strategies retailers use. B.The joy businesses offer.
C.The competition stores face. D.The products consumers buy.
26.What do most shoppers seek according to Ethan
A.Social-media deals. B.World-famous brands.
C.Second-hand bargains. D.Budget-friendly pleasures.
27.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Lipstick Index: Where Does It Lead Us B.Must-have Treats: A Future Spending Trend
C.Affordable Joy: Will We Fall Into The Trap D.Little Luxuries: A Driving Force Behind Consumption
C
The ocean is a huge body of saltwater that covers about 71 percent of Earth’s surface. An estimated 97 percent of the world’s water is found in the ocean. Because of this, the ocean has a considerable impact on weather, temperature, and the food supply of humans and other organisms. Despite its size and impact on the lives of every organism on Earth, the ocean remains a mystery. More than 80 percent of the ocean has never been mapped, explored, or even seen by humans. A far greater percentage of the surfaces of the moon and the planet Mars have been mapped and studied than that of our own ocean floor.
Although there is much more to learn, oceanographers (海洋学家) have already made some amazing discoveries. For example, we know that the ocean contains towering mountain ranges and deep canyons, known as trenches (海沟), just like those on land. The peak of the world’s tallest mountain — Mount Everest in the Himalayas, measuring 8.84 kilometers (5.49 miles) high — would not even break the surface of the water if it was placed in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench or Philippine Trench, two of the deepest parts of the ocean. On the other hand, the Atlantic Ocean is relatively shallow because large parts of its seafloor are made up of continental shelves — parts of the continents that extend far out into the ocean. The average depth of the entire ocean is 3,720 meters (12,200 feet).
It is unknown how many different species call the ocean their home. It could be that more than 90 percent of the ocean’s species are still undiscovered, with some scientists estimating that there are anywhere between a few hundred thousand and a few million more to be discovered. Currently, scientists know of around 226,000 ocean species. Since the ocean is so vast, there is plenty for future oceanographers from all corners of the globe to explore and discover.
28.Why does the author mention the research on the moon and Mars in paragraph 1
A.To emphasize the wide impact of the ocean.
B.To show how scientists do space exploration.
C.To prove people’s deep fascination with space.
D.To stress how little humans know about the ocean.
29.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A.Physical features of the seafloor.
B.Scientists’ discoveries about the ocean.
C.Varieties of landforms on the Earth.
D.Similarities between the land and sea.
30.What can we know from the last paragraph
A.Ocean exploration has great potential.
B.The number of ocean species is declining.
C.Ocean pollution has become more serious.
D.Oceanographers need to do more to protect the ocean.
31.Which is the best title for the text
A.A Big Discovery in the Deep Sea
B.The Ocean: A Mystery to Mankind
C.A Challenging Exploration of the Sea
D.The Ocean: A Vast Home to Sea Animals

Over the years, education technology has changed so greatly that it may be challenging to keep up with all the changes.
Online learning has changed a lot over the years. There was a time when learning mostly occurred when the students and the teachers were in the same place. Now, it is possible for a student in Kenya to attend classes in China, do their exams, pass and get their certificates Remember the days when, if you needed a textbook, you either had to go to the library or to buy a physical copy Now, there are many books you can find online. With Open Educational Resources, it is possible to find digital versions of some resources like textbooks. You can save the money for something else.
Long gone are the days when some few individuals held most of the knowledge, and the rest learned from them. Now, thanks to the Internet, anyone can learn and teach.
Take blogs for example. With blogs, anyone can give an account of their activities and their opinions, and discuss places they have visited on their websites. Of course, there are drawbacks to the technological advancement. One of the main problems is that it is easy for someone to publish wrong information.
Artificial intelligence is changing many ways of the education industry, from teaching to administration. For example, Al can be used to monitor a student’s progress and give reports to the teachers. Teachers can use Al to analyze students’ records and results and give feedback. Some universities are even using AI to teach.
When it comes to education technology, it is clear that some technological advancements were not directly created for education but have made learning more accessible. For example, one may not consider social media as educational technology.
However, consider how many people who have similar ideas have been connected and shared information over social media with those who would not have met otherwise.
This adaptation of different technological tools from different fields is helping improve the quality of education for students everywhere.
32.What enables students in different countries to learn the same materials at the same time
A.Online learning. B.Online blogging.
C.Open Educational Resources. D.Artificial intelligence.
33.What is the main disadvantage of blogs
A.False information. B.Delaying feedback.
C.Conflicting opinions. D.Repeated resources.
34.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Education development is not necessarily a good thing.
B.Social media were created for education in the beginning.
C.Not all technological advancements promote education.
D.Technological advancements in other fields may benefit education.
35.What is the text mainly about
A.The new trend of future education.
B.The development of education technology.
C.Advantages of modern education technology.
D.Changes of artificial intelligence.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 36 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 37
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 38 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights
● 39 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 40 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A.Visit during off-peak times.
B.So, should we stop traveling
C.Travel for you and no one else.
D.Can overtourism be avoided then
E.You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F.You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G.Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.

During the first weeks of his retirement from the fire service, Max had felt lost. And that’s when Polly, a library manager, helped him sign up as a 41 , for Robot Club in the library.
Max hadn’t volunteered before and he didn’t know anything about 42 . He opened the packs containing the robots, nervously staring at the mess of parts. A dozen primary-age children gathered around the table, 43 eagerly. Almost double the number of adults crowded around them, watching.
Glancing around the 44 at the many parents and carers accompanying the robot builders, Max knew he had to face this 45 .
“Okay, team,” he started 46 , adopting the tone he’d used to 47 his unit during his firefighting days. “We’re going to build these robots one step 48 .”
The children nodded, their hands busy with screws (螺丝) and plastic limbs. Max wandered from table to table, 49 words of encouragement, and slowly but surely, 50 the instructions in his mind.
An hour passed, and the room was filled with the sound of chatter and clinking parts. As the final minutes of Robot Club ticked away, Max stood back and 51 the room. Robots of all shapes and sizes stood on the tables. The children were excited, 52 their creations to anyone who would look.
As they began to leave, many children stopped to thank Max. Each “thank you” and “see you next week” chipped away at the sense of 53 he had felt since retiring. He hadn’t put out a fire today, but perhaps he had 54 something far more important — a new 55 for himself.

In the island province of Hainan, the village of Chubao boasts something unique. Hidden in the boundless lush mountains, the cottages there feature walls made of wood or mud, and triangular thatch (茅草) roofs, giving them the 56 (appear) of an overturned boat.
The boat-shaped houses 57 (build) by the local ethnic Li people. For thousands of years, the local Li people have lived in these houses in the rainforest. In recent years, locals have 58 (gradual) moved into modern new houses. But 59 the traditional dwellings bear evidence to the Li culture, they are now well preserved.
The Li people have developed 60 distinctive culture over many years of development. Legend has 61 that the ancestors of the Li people arrived in Hainan by boats. When they arrived, they turned the boats upside down as houses for shelter. Their descendants built the boat-shaped houses 62 memory of their ancestors.
But the houses were made of thatch or mud, 63 (make) them susceptible to the damage from wind and rain. Though villagers no longer live in the houses, they have unique feelings 64 (attach) to them.

How to Fix a Mistake
After many continuous days of steady downpour, the sun finally came out on a Sunday morning. My friend Allan and I decided to play catch in my yard. We were having fun throwing the ball back and forth.
“Run! Nice catch!” It had been days since we enjoyed ourselves. Then, I threw the ball too hard and Allan missed his catch. The ball flew like lightning, crossed the yard and hit my neighbor’s window. We heard the big sound. Crash! Smash! The window broke into many pieces.
Allan turned pale, and a look of panic crossed his face. He froze, too scared to move an inch. Without a second thought, I grabbed his hand, whispering, “Come with me!” We ran into my backyard and hid behind a stack of hay. It seemed to be a place of safety. However, my heart was still pounding hard, as if it were about to pop.
Mr. Jones, the neighbour, who was a seventy-year-old man, lived alone. Though he was poor, he was well loved in the neighborhood for he always helped those in need.
Obviously, he heard the big sound, too. He came out of his house, with a ball in his hands. It was exactly our ball! Did he recognize who the ball belonged to With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. In the meantime, Mr. Jones looked around, trying to see who threw the ball. Of course, no one was outside. He gazed the window for a while, and then the ball. Finally, he went back into his house.
A few days later, I saw that Mr. Jones had repaired the broken glass. He was sitting outside. When he saw me, he waved at me. I felt ashamed as I waved back at him. I knew what I should do, but I was afraid to do it.
Later, my mom and I were talking and she told me about the broken window.
Mr. Jones looked at me after I explained what had happened.

【听力材料】Good morning, all of my fellow Barlow High School students! It’s Jenny back again with the daily announcements. Today, we have an emergency fire preparation drill starting in just two hours. The bell will ring at 9: 55 a. m., which means you’ll have five minutes to get out of the classrooms, library, or cafeteria and into the parking lot in front of the school. The top two classes that organize the most quickly and neatly will be awarded our safety prize. At 2: 00 p. m., before the end of the school day, Headmaster Jones will announce the winners of the recent charity competition. Over 100 students, including myself, have participated in gathering donations and funding from people and businesses in the community to help our school. We’ve all seen this school suffer from a lack of funding during the recent economic crash. But thanks to an admirable group of student body members, we’ll start to turn that problem around. The top ten students to bring in funding for the school will each receive a prize for their contribution, but this award will be kept a surprise until 2: 00 p. m. For now, that’s all from me. The next speaker is your headmaster with important information on this week’s storm and our homecoming football game. Go Eagles!

B
【答案】24.C 25.A 26.D 27.D
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍随着就业市场的放缓，全球消费者可能会不再购买价格较高的商品，而是将注意力集中在较小的、不太昂贵的商品上以及出现这种现象的原因。
【解析】24.细节理解题。根据第二段“This desire for these “affordable luxuries” is common in difficult economic times. Some economists refer to the phenomenon as the “lipstick index”: a small economic increase led by budget-minded consumers seeking out relatively affordable splurges (挥霍), like small cosmetics (化妆品).(这种对这些“负担得起的奢侈品”的渴望在经济困难时期很常见。一些经济学家将这种现象称为“口红指数”：由精打细算的消费者寻找相对负担得起的奢侈品（比如小化妆品）导致的小幅经济增长)”可知，负担得起的奢侈品是指价格合理的名牌商品。故选C。
25.主旨大意题。根据第四段“As retailers see shoppers turning to little luxuries, they’re offering more and more of them. Target, for example, has staked a flag in what they refer to as “affordable joy”, which includes a select ion of self-care and cosmetic products, along with wellness-centric beauty products. Beyond diversifying their offerings, stores are also bringing in luxury-feeling products at lower price points to appeal to more consumers.(当零售商看到消费者转向小奢侈品时，他们提供了越来越多的小奢侈品。例如，塔吉特在他们所谓的“负担得起的快乐”上打了个旗号，其中包括一系列精选的自我护理和化妆品，以及以健康为中心的美容产品。除了使产品多样化，商店还推出了价格较低的奢侈品，以吸引更多的消费者)”可知，第四段的主要内容是零售商使用的策略。故选A。
26.理解理解题。根据最后一段“Ethan says not every shopper will shift their spending to little luxuries-but even those who are still longing for the “must-haves” of social media will also look to get a deal. They want the feeling of purchasing lower-priced affordable treats.(伊桑说，并不是每个购物者都会把他们的消费转移到小奢侈品上，但即使是那些仍然渴望获得社交媒体“必需品”的人，也会希望得到优惠。他们想要的是购买价格更低、负担得起的食物的感觉)”可知，根据伊森的说法，大多数购物者都在寻找预算友好的乐趣。故选D。
27.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many economists predict 2024 will be the time shoppers tighten their belts. That doesn’t mean people will stop spending, say retail (零售) analysts. But it will change what they choose to buy. With a slowing job market, global consumers are likely to move away from more high-priced purchases and focus instead on smaller, less expensive treats.(许多经济学家预测，2024年将是购物者勒紧腰带的时候。零售业分析师说，这并不意味着人们会停止消费。但这将改变他们的购买选择。随着就业市场的放缓，全球消费者可能会不再购买价格较高的商品，而是将注意力集中在较小的、不太昂贵的商品上)”及下文可知，文章主要介绍随着就业市场的放缓，全球消费者可能会不再购买价格较高的商品，而是将注意力集中在较小的、不太昂贵的商品上以及出现这种现象的原因。由此可知，D选项“小奢侈品：消费背后的驱动力”最符合文章标题。故选D。
C
【答案】28.D 29.B 30.A 31.B
【解析】28.推理判断题。根据第一段“Despite its size and impact on the lives of every organism on Earth, the ocean remains a mystery. More than 80 percent of the ocean has never been mapped, explored, or even seen by humans. A far greater percentage of the surfaces of the moon and the planet Mars have been mapped and studied than that of our own ocean floor.(尽管海洋的大小和对地球上每一种生物的生活都有影响，但它仍然是一个谜。超过80%的海洋从未被人类绘制过地图、探索过，甚至从未被人类看到过。月球和火星表面的测绘和研究比例远远高于我们自己的海底)”可知，作者在第一段提到对月球和火星的探索，是为了突出人类对海洋的研究和认识很少。故选D项。
29.主旨大意题。根据第二段“Although there is much more to learn, oceanographers (海洋学家) have already made some amazing discoveries. For example, we know that the ocean contains towering mountain ranges and deep canyons, known as trenches (海沟), just like those on land. The peak of the world’s tallest mountain—Mount Everest in the Himalayas, measuring 8.84 kilometers (5.49 miles) high—would not even break the surface of the water if it was placed in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench or Philippine Trench, two of the deepest parts of the ocean. On the other hand, the Atlantic Ocean is relatively shallow because large parts of its seafloor are made up of continental shelves—parts of the continents that extend far out into the ocean. The average depth of the entire ocean is 3,720 meters (12,200 feet).(尽管还有很多东西需要学习，但海洋学家已经做出了一些惊人的发现。例如，我们知道海洋中有高耸的山脉和深深的峡谷，就像陆地上的峡谷一样，被称为海沟。世界上最高的山峰——喜马拉雅山脉的珠穆朗玛峰，高8.84千米（5.49英里），如果它被放置在太平洋的马里亚纳海沟或菲律宾海沟这两个海洋最深的部分，它甚至不会打破水面。另一方面，大西洋相对较浅，因为其海底的大部分由大陆架组成，大陆架是延伸到海洋深处的部分大陆。整个海洋的平均深度为3720米（12200英尺）)”可知，本段主要介绍了海洋学家对海洋的探索和发现。故选B项。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is unknown how many different species call the ocean their home. It could be that more than 90 percent of the ocean’s species are still undiscovered, with some scientists estimating that there are anywhere between a few hundred thousand and a few million more to be discovered. Currently, scientists know of around 226,000 ocean species. Since the ocean is so vast, there is plenty for future oceanographers from all corners of the globe to explore and discover. (目前还不知道有多少不同的物种以海洋为家。可能有90%以上的海洋物种仍未被发现，一些科学家估计还有几十万到几百万的物种有待发现。目前，科学家们知道大约226000种海洋物种。由于海洋如此广阔，未来来自世界各地的海洋学家有很多东西可以探索和发现)”可知，仍然有很多海洋物种没有被科学家发现，海洋勘探具有巨大的潜力。故选A项。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Despite its size and impact on the lives of every organism on Earth, the ocean remains a mystery. More than 80 percent of the ocean has never been mapped, explored, or even seen by humans.(尽管海洋的大小和对地球上每一种生物的生活都有影响，但它仍然是一个谜。超过80%的海洋从未被人类绘制过地图、探索过，甚至从未被人类看到过)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了人类对海洋知之甚少，海洋的众多奥秘仍需要科学家去探索研究，所以“海洋：对人类而言是个谜”适合作为文章标题。故选B项。
D
【答案】32.A 33.A 34.D 35.B
【解析】32.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Online learning has changed a lot over the years. There was a time when learning mostly occurred when the students and the teachers were in the same place. Now, it is possible for a student in Kenya to attend classes in China, do their exams, pass and get their certificates.(多年来，在线学习发生了很大变化。曾经有一段时间，学习主要发生在学生和老师在同一个地方的时候。现在，肯尼亚的学生可以在中国上课，参加考试，通过考试并获得证书。)”可知，在线学习使来自不同国家的学生同时访问相同的教育材料并参与课程。故选A。
33.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Take blogs for example. With blogs, anyone can give an account of their activities and their opinions, and discuss places they have visited on their websites. Of course, there are drawbacks to the technological advancement. One of the main problems is that it is easy for someone to publish wrong information.(以博客为例。有了博客，任何人都可以记录自己的活动和观点，并在自己的网站上讨论自己去过的地方。当然，技术进步也有缺点。其中一个主要问题是，很容易有人发布错误的信息。)”可知，博客的一个主要缺点是容易发布错误信息。故选A。
34.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This adaptation of different technological tools from different fields is helping improve the quality of education for students everywhere.(这种对来自不同领域的不同技术工具的适应有助于提高各地学生的教育质量。)”可推测，不同领域的不同技术工具的适应有助于提高各地学生的教育质量，也就是说，其他领域的技术进步可能会对教育产生益处。故选D。
35.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Over the years, education technology has changed so greatly that it may be challenging to keep up with all the changes.(多年来，教育技术发生了巨大的变化，要跟上所有的变化可能是一项挑战。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了教育技术在过去几年中发生的巨大变化，并详细介绍了在线学习、开放教育资源、博客、人工智能等不同方面的发展。这些讨论都围绕着教育技术的发展展开，因此可以推断出文章的主要内容是关于教育技术的发展。故选B。

38.前文“That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from.(这意味着你有很多不太受欢迎的选择)及后文“Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights ( 为什么不尝试一个地区性的选择，或者看看一个热门目的地不太为人所知的景点呢)”提出建议，可以选择一些冷门的景点，E选项“你仍然可以找到相对未被发现的地方”符合语境。故选E。
39.空处为小标题，根据后文“Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour.(通过跳过重大节假日或高峰时间来最小化影响并最大化体验)”表示旅游时要注意避开高峰期，选择合适的时间，A选项“在非高峰时间参观”概括本段内容。故选A。
40.前文“Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place.(尽你的一份力，从一开始就保护一个目的地的特别之处)”表明旅游时应保护旅游景点，后文“You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.(你可能会惊讶地发现你和那里的人感觉如此亲近)”表示这样做的感受，G选项“考虑回馈你所访问的社区”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。

67.【答案】One possible version:
Later, my mom and I were talking and she told me about the broken window. “Poor Mr. Jones,” she sighed, “He’s such a nice guy. I can’t believe anyone would break his window and not stay around to apologize.” Hearing what my mom said, I pulled the hem of my clothes tightly, the blood rushing to my face. Catching sight of the embarrassment written in my burning face, she seemed to know everything. “Yes, it’s me.” I confessed that I broke the window by accident, promising that I would go right over now and own up to my mistake. Then I plucked up the courage to knock on Mr. Jones’ door and decided to tell him what I had done.
Mr. Jones looked at me after I explained what had happened. He was not angry at all. On the contrary, a gentle smile danced around the corners of his mouth. Relieved but still ashamed. I apologized to him with sincerity and asked how much it cost to repair the window. I told him that I would save my money and pay back every penny of it. Patting me on the shoulder, Mr. Jones replied, “It’s not the money that matters.” He continued, “I was really hurt that someone would do that to me without stopping to apologize. Now that you have come and explained the accident, I feel good again.” What Mr. Jones spoke out had a lasting influence on me, reminding me to be honest and fix every mistake I made.

Many economists predict 2024 will be the time shoppers tighten their belts. That doesn’t mean people will stop spending, say retail (零售) analysts. But it will change what they choose to buy. With a slowing job market, global consumers are likely to move away from more high-priced purchases and focus instead on smaller, less expensive treats.
The economic uncertainty means that consumers are becoming more discriminating about their purchases, says Ethan Chermofsky, senior vice president of marketing at intelligence platform Placer. ai. “There are the things we decide are necessary, and then there’s another category of things that aren’t necessary but that we consider affordable luxuries, he says. This desire for these “affordable luxuries” is common in difficult economic times. Some economists refer to the phenomenon as the “lipstick index”: a small economic increase led by budget-minded consumers seeking out relatively affordable splurges (挥霍), like small cosmetics (化妆品).
Analysts at Deloitte say consumers will spend on little luxuries like specialty coffees and snacks as well. Additionally, stressed-out shoppers are prioritizing small splurge purchases for wellness and personal care.
As retailers see shoppers turning to little luxuries, they’re offering more and more of them. Target, for example, has staked a flag in what they refer to as “affordable joy”, which includes a selection of self-care and cosmetic products, along with wellness-centric beauty products. Beyond diversifying their offerings, stores are also bringing in luxury-feeling products at lower price points to appeal to more consumers.
Ethan says not every shopper will shift their spending to little luxuries-but even those who are still longing for the “must-haves” of social media will also look to get a deal. They want the feeling of purchasing lower-priced affordable treats. To get these goods, shoppers are likely to tap into the re-sale market for designer items at a more reasonable price. They want things that make them feel good about themselves-they just want to do it without breaking the bank.
24.What can affordable luxuries be
A.Inexpensive daily necessities. B.High-end products.
C.Reasonably-priced designer items. D.High-priced purchases.
25.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The strategies retailers use. B.The joy businesses offer.
C.The competition stores face. D.The products consumers buy.
26.What do most shoppers seek according to Ethan
A.Social-media deals. B.World-famous brands.
C.Second-hand bargains. D.Budget-friendly pleasures.
27.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Lipstick Index: Where Does It Lead Us B.Must-have Treats: A Future Spending Trend
C.Affordable Joy: Will We Fall Into The Trap D.Little Luxuries: A Driving Force Behind Consumption
C
The ocean is a huge body of saltwater that covers about 71 percent of Earth’s surface. An estimated 97 percent of the world’s water is found in the ocean. Because of this, the ocean has a considerable impact on weather, temperature, and the food supply of humans and other organisms. Despite its size and impact on the lives of every organism on Earth, the ocean remains a mystery. More than 80 percent of the ocean has never been mapped, explored, or even seen by humans. A far greater percentage of the surfaces of the moon and the planet Mars have been mapped and studied than that of our own ocean floor.
Although there is much more to learn, oceanographers (海洋学家) have already made some amazing discoveries. For example, we know that the ocean contains towering mountain ranges and deep canyons, known as trenches (海沟), just like those on land. The peak of the world’s tallest mountain — Mount Everest in the Himalayas, measuring 8.84 kilometers (5.49 miles) high — would not even break the surface of the water if it was placed in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench or Philippine Trench, two of the deepest parts of the ocean. On the other hand, the Atlantic Ocean is relatively shallow because large parts of its seafloor are made up of continental shelves — parts of the continents that extend far out into the ocean. The average depth of the entire ocean is 3,720 meters (12,200 feet).
It is unknown how many different species call the ocean their home. It could be that more than 90 percent of the ocean’s species are still undiscovered, with some scientists estimating that there are anywhere between a few hundred thousand and a few million more to be discovered. Currently, scientists know of around 226,000 ocean species. Since the ocean is so vast, there is plenty for future oceanographers from all corners of the globe to explore and discover.
28.Why does the author mention the research on the moon and Mars in paragraph 1
A.To emphasize the wide impact of the ocean.
B.To show how scientists do space exploration.
C.To prove people’s deep fascination with space.
D.To stress how little humans know about the ocean.
29.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A.Physical features of the seafloor.
B.Scientists’ discoveries about the ocean.
C.Varieties of landforms on the Earth.
D.Similarities between the land and sea.
30.What can we know from the last paragraph
A.Ocean exploration has great potential.
B.The number of ocean species is declining.
C.Ocean pollution has become more serious.
D.Oceanographers need to do more to protect the ocean.
31.Which is the best title for the text
A.A Big Discovery in the Deep Sea
B.The Ocean: A Mystery to Mankind
C.A Challenging Exploration of the Sea
D.The Ocean: A Vast Home to Sea Animals

Over the years, education technology has changed so greatly that it may be challenging to keep up with all the changes.
Online learning has changed a lot over the years. There was a time when learning mostly occurred when the students and the teachers were in the same place. Now, it is possible for a student in Kenya to attend classes in China, do their exams, pass and get their certificates Remember the days when, if you needed a textbook, you either had to go to the library or to buy a physical copy Now, there are many books you can find online. With Open Educational Resources, it is possible to find digital versions of some resources like textbooks. You can save the money for something else.
Long gone are the days when some few individuals held most of the knowledge, and the rest learned from them. Now, thanks to the Internet, anyone can learn and teach.
Take blogs for example. With blogs, anyone can give an account of their activities and their opinions, and discuss places they have visited on their websites. Of course, there are drawbacks to the technological advancement. One of the main problems is that it is easy for someone to publish wrong information.
Artificial intelligence is changing many ways of the education industry, from teaching to administration. For example, Al can be used to monitor a student’s progress and give reports to the teachers. Teachers can use Al to analyze students’ records and results and give feedback. Some universities are even using AI to teach.
When it comes to education technology, it is clear that some technological advancements were not directly created for education but have made learning more accessible. For example, one may not consider social media as educational technology.
However, consider how many people who have similar ideas have been connected and shared information over social media with those who would not have met otherwise.
This adaptation of different technological tools from different fields is helping improve the quality of education for students everywhere.
32.What enables students in different countries to learn the same materials at the same time
A.Online learning. B.Online blogging.
C.Open Educational Resources. D.Artificial intelligence.
33.What is the main disadvantage of blogs
A.False information. B.Delaying feedback.
C.Conflicting opinions. D.Repeated resources.
34.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Education development is not necessarily a good thing.
B.Social media were created for education in the beginning.
C.Not all technological advancements promote education.
D.Technological advancements in other fields may benefit education.
35.What is the text mainly about
A.The new trend of future education.
B.The development of education technology.
C.Advantages of modern education technology.
D.Changes of artificial intelligence.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 36 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 37
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 38 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights
● 39 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 40 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A.Visit during off-peak times.
B.So, should we stop traveling
C.Travel for you and no one else.
D.Can overtourism be avoided then
E.You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F.You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G.Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.

During the first weeks of his retirement from the fire service, Max had felt lost. And that’s when Polly, a library manager, helped him sign up as a 41 , for Robot Club in the library.
Max hadn’t volunteered before and he didn’t know anything about 42 . He opened the packs containing the robots, nervously staring at the mess of parts. A dozen primary-age children gathered around the table, 43 eagerly. Almost double the number of adults crowded around them, watching.
Glancing around the 44 at the many parents and carers accompanying the robot builders, Max knew he had to face this 45 .
“Okay, team,” he started 46 , adopting the tone he’d used to 47 his unit during his firefighting days. “We’re going to build these robots one step 48 .”
The children nodded, their hands busy with screws (螺丝) and plastic limbs. Max wandered from table to table, 49 words of encouragement, and slowly but surely, 50 the instructions in his mind.
An hour passed, and the room was filled with the sound of chatter and clinking parts. As the final minutes of Robot Club ticked away, Max stood back and 51 the room. Robots of all shapes and sizes stood on the tables. The children were excited, 52 their creations to anyone who would look.
As they began to leave, many children stopped to thank Max. Each “thank you” and “see you next week” chipped away at the sense of 53 he had felt since retiring. He hadn’t put out a fire today, but perhaps he had 54 something far more important — a new 55 for himself.

How to Fix a Mistake
After many continuous days of steady downpour, the sun finally came out on a Sunday morning. My friend Allan and I decided to play catch in my yard. We were having fun throwing the ball back and forth.
“Run! Nice catch!” It had been days since we enjoyed ourselves. Then, I threw the ball too hard and Allan missed his catch. The ball flew like lightning, crossed the yard and hit my neighbor’s window. We heard the big sound. Crash! Smash! The window broke into many pieces.
Allan turned pale, and a look of panic crossed his face. He froze, too scared to move an inch. Without a second thought, I grabbed his hand, whispering, “Come with me!” We ran into my backyard and hid behind a stack of hay. It seemed to be a place of safety. However, my heart was still pounding hard, as if it were about to pop.
Mr. Jones, the neighbour, who was a seventy-year-old man, lived alone. Though he was poor, he was well loved in the neighborhood for he always helped those in need.
Obviously, he heard the big sound, too. He came out of his house, with a ball in his hands. It was exactly our ball! Did he recognize who the ball belonged to With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. In the meantime, Mr. Jones looked around, trying to see who threw the ball. Of course, no one was outside. He gazed the window for a while, and then the ball. Finally, he went back into his house.
A few days later, I saw that Mr. Jones had repaired the broken glass. He was sitting outside. When he saw me, he waved at me. I felt ashamed as I waved back at him. I knew what I should do, but I was afraid to do it.
Later, my mom and I were talking and she told me about the broken window.
Mr. Jones looked at me after I explained what had happened.

The top ten students to bring in funding for the school will each receive a prize for their contribution, but this award will be kept a surprise until 2: 00 p. m. For now, that’s all from me. The next speaker is your headmaster with important information on this week’s storm and our homecoming football game. Go Eagles!

【答案】24.C 25.A 26.D 27.D
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍随着就业市场的放缓，全球消费者可能会不再购买价格较高的商品，而是将注意力集中在较小的、不太昂贵的商品上以及出现这种现象的原因。
【解析】24.细节理解题。根据第二段“This desire for these “affordable luxuries” is common in difficult economic times. Some economists refer to the phenomenon as the “lipstick index”: a small economic increase led by budget-minded consumers seeking out relatively affordable splurges (挥霍), like small cosmetics (化妆品).(这种对这些“负担得起的奢侈品”的渴望在经济困难时期很常见。一些经济学家将这种现象称为“口红指数”：由精打细算的消费者寻找相对负担得起的奢侈品（比如小化妆品）导致的小幅经济增长)”可知，负担得起的奢侈品是指价格合理的名牌商品。故选C。
25.主旨大意题。根据第四段“As retailers see shoppers turning to little luxuries, they’re offering more and more of them. Target, for example, has staked a flag in what they refer to as “affordable joy”, which includes a select ion of self-care and cosmetic products, along with wellness-centric beauty products.

26.理解理解题。根据最后一段“Ethan says not every shopper will shift their spending to little luxuries-but even those who are still longing for the “must-haves” of social media will also look to get a deal. They want the feeling of purchasing lower-priced affordable treats.(伊桑说，并不是每个购物者都会把他们的消费转移到小奢侈品上，但即使是那些仍然渴望获得社交媒体“必需品”的人，也会希望得到优惠。他们想要的是购买价格更低、负担得起的食物的感觉)”可知，根据伊森的说法，大多数购物者都在寻找预算友好的乐趣。故选D。
27.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many economists predict 2024 will be the time shoppers tighten their belts. That doesn’t mean people will stop spending, say retail (零售) analysts. But it will change what they choose to buy. With a slowing job market, global consumers are likely to move away from more high-priced purchases and focus instead on smaller, less expensive treats.(许多经济学家预测，2024年将是购物者勒紧腰带的时候。零售业分析师说，这并不意味着人们会停止消费。但这将改变他们的购买选择。随着就业市场的放缓，全球消费者可能会不再购买价格较高的商品，而是将注意力集中在较小的、不太昂贵的商品上)”及下文可知，文章主要介绍随着就业市场的放缓，全球消费者可能会不再购买价格较高的商品，而是将注意力集中在较小的、不太昂贵的商品上以及出现这种现象的原因。由此可知，D选项“小奢侈品：消费背后的驱动力”最符合文章标题。故选D。
C
【答案】28.D 29.B 30.A 31.B
【解析】28.推理判断题。根据第一段“Despite its size and impact on the lives of every organism on Earth, the ocean remains a mystery. More than 80 percent of the ocean has never been mapped, explored, or even seen by humans. A far greater percentage of the surfaces of the moon and the planet Mars have been mapped and studied than that of our own ocean floor.(尽管海洋的大小和对地球上每一种生物的生活都有影响，但它仍然是一个谜。超过80%的海洋从未被人类绘制过地图、探索过，甚至从未被人类看到过。月球和火星表面的测绘和研究比例远远高于我们自己的海底)”可知，作者在第一段提到对月球和火星的探索，是为了突出人类对海洋的研究和认识很少。故选D项。
29.主旨大意题。根据第二段“Although there is much more to learn, oceanographers (海洋学家) have already made some amazing discoveries. For example, we know that the ocean contains towering mountain ranges and deep canyons, known as trenches (海沟), just like those on land. The peak of the world’s tallest mountain—Mount Everest in the Himalayas, measuring 8.84 kilometers (5.49 miles) high—would not even break the surface of the water if it was placed in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench or Philippine Trench, two of the deepest parts of the ocean. On the other hand, the Atlantic Ocean is relatively shallow because large parts of its seafloor are made up of continental shelves—parts of the continents that extend far out into the ocean. The average depth of the entire ocean is 3,720 meters (12,200 feet).(尽管还有很多东西需要学习，但海洋学家已经做出了一些惊人的发现。例如，我们知道海洋中有高耸的山脉和深深的峡谷，就像陆地上的峡谷一样，被称为海沟。世界上最高的山峰——喜马拉雅山脉的珠穆朗玛峰，高8.84千米（5.49英里），如果它被放置在太平洋的马里亚纳海沟或菲律宾海沟这两个海洋最深的部分，它甚至不会打破水面。另一方面，大西洋相对较浅，因为其海底的大部分由大陆架组成，大陆架是延伸到海洋深处的部分大陆。整个海洋的平均深度为3720米（12200英尺）)”可知，本段主要介绍了海洋学家对海洋的探索和发现。故选B项。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is unknown how many different species call the ocean their home. It could be that more than 90 percent of the ocean’s species are still undiscovered, with some scientists estimating that there are anywhere between a few hundred thousand and a few million more to be discovered. Currently, scientists know of around 226,000 ocean species. Since the ocean is so vast, there is plenty for future oceanographers from all corners of the globe to explore and discover. (目前还不知道有多少不同的物种以海洋为家。可能有90%以上的海洋物种仍未被发现，一些科学家估计还有几十万到几百万的物种有待发现。目前，科学家们知道大约226000种海洋物种。由于海洋如此广阔，未来来自世界各地的海洋学家有很多东西可以探索和发现)”可知，仍然有很多海洋物种没有被科学家发现，海洋勘探具有巨大的潜力。故选A项。

67.【答案】One possible version:
Later, my mom and I were talking and she told me about the broken window. “Poor Mr. Jones,” she sighed, “He’s such a nice guy. I can’t believe anyone would break his window and not stay around to apologize.” Hearing what my mom said, I pulled the hem of my clothes tightly, the blood rushing to my face. Catching sight of the embarrassment written in my burning face, she seemed to know everything. “Yes, it’s me.” I confessed that I broke the window by accident, promising that I would go right over now and own up to my mistake. Then I plucked up the courage to knock on Mr. Jones’ door and decided to tell him what I had done.
Mr. Jones looked at me after I explained what had happened. He was not angry at all. On the contrary, a gentle smile danced around the corners of his mouth. Relieved but still ashamed. I apologized to him with sincerity and asked how much it cost to repair the window. I told him that I would save my money and pay back every penny of it. Patting me on the shoulder, Mr. Jones replied, “It’s not the money that matters.” He continued, “I was really hurt that someone would do that to me without stopping to apologize. Now that you have come and explained the accident, I feel good again.” What Mr. Jones spoke out had a lasting influence on me, reminding me to be honest and fix every mistake I made.
