A
At the core of ever-evolving technology industry, there are a few key individuals who have left a deeper mark
and changed the lives of many, giving them motivation and the will to persevere to the end.
● Sunder Pichai—the current CEO of Google
Sunder Pichai was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. However, his story never fails to remind all that
with determination and hard work, one can beat the odds. During his time as CEO, Pichai led the launch of Google
Chrome, Google Drive and Google Maps, which are features that have revolutionized modern lifestyle.
● Steve Jobs—the late CEO of Apple
The life of Steve Jobs can be compared to that of a rollercoaster. He was fired from the company that he
co-founded (known as Apple now), then he went on to start up two other successful companies, before returning to
Apple, where he created the iPhone, a most significant invention of this century.
● Elon Musk—the founder of Spacex and Tesla
Elon Musk used to be a major shareholder in PayPal and was also its CEO but was dismissed due to
disagreements with the company leaders. He left PayPal and went on to establish Spacex and Tesla, both of which
turned out to be successful companies. Currently, he has set his sights on ways to reduce global warming, including
keeping a lookout for new sources of renewable energy, and has an exciting ambition to establish a human colony in
Mars.
● Sal Khan—the pioneer of online education provider
He may not be as famous, but his contribution to education deserves as much credit. Using his website, anyone
can have unlimited access to educational videos that teach just about anything for free without attending a formal
course. In fact, it was not an easy process. There were a lot of dying moments when he was stressed out, but anyway
he made it.
1. Who is currently paying attention to eco-friendly cause
A. Sunder Pichai. B. Steve Jobs. C. Elon Musk. D. Sal Khan.
2. What do we know about the four tech giants
A. Elon Musk established PayPal, Spacex and Tesla.

C. Sunder Pichai had the ambition to change modern lifestyle.
D. Steve Jobs was once dismissed by the company he founded.
3. What does the text convey to readers
A. Every cloud has a silver line. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Success is not served on a silver platter.
B
For many people, catching a smell of freshly cut grass is a pleasant sign that warmer weather is here to stay. For
the grass, however, this scent signals an entirely different story.
The smell we associate with freshly cut grass is actually a chemical SOS, one used by plants to beg nearby
creatures to save them from attack. After all, when danger strikes —whether it’s gardening equipment or a hungry
caterpillar— plants can’t lift their roots and run. They must fight where they stand. To protect themselves, plants
employ a string of molecular (分子 ) responses. These chemical communications can be used to poison an enemy,
warn surrounding plants of dangers or attract helpful insects to perform needed services.
Clearly, plants can communicate. But does that mean they can feel pain According to some researchers, plants
release gases that are the equivalent of crying out in pain. Using a laser-powered microphone, researchers have picked
up sound waves produced by plants releasing gases when cut or injured. Although not audible to the human ear, the
secret voices of plants have revealed that cucumbers scream when they are sick, and flowers cry when their leaves are
cut.
There’s also evidence that plants can hear themselves being eaten. Researches show that plants understand and
respond to chewing sounds made by caterpillars dining on them. As soon as the plants hear the noises, they respond
with several defense mechanisms.
For some researchers, evidence of these complex communication systems — giving out noises via gas when in
pain— signals that plants feel pain. Others argue that there cannot be pain without a brain to register the feeling. Still
more scientists infer that plants can exhibit intelligent behavior without possessing a brain or conscious awareness.
As they grow plants can change their paths to avoid obstacles or reach for support with their tendrils (卷须). This
activity comes from a complex biological network distributed through the plants’ roots, leaves and stems. This
network helps plants reproduce, grow and survive.
4. What does the smell of freshly cut grass signal
A. Warmer weather. B. Being poisonous. C. Cry for help. D. The need of services.
5. How do plants convey their pain
A. By giving out gases. B. By changing the color of their leaves.
C. By producing audible sound waves. D. By sharing it through the root systems.
6 What makes plants’ intelligent behavior possible
A. Their tendrils. B. Their biological network.
C. Their communication systems. D. Their conscious awareness.
7. What is the best title for the text
A Do plants feel pain B. How plants protect themselves
C. Do plants communicate D. How plants grow and reproduce
C
On 11 March,2011, a terrible earthquake shook Japan at 14:46, which immediately generated waves high enough
to flood towns along the coasts. Onagawa was one of them. The wave not only left the town flattened, but took the
lives of 827 people out of a population of 10,014.
Ten years on, more than 10,400 people now live in a town that has rebuilt itself with a bold approach. It decided
to “adapt” to the tsunami that Mother Nature generates.
From any point in Onagawa, you can see the cove (海湾), the very point that brought waves into the town ten
years ago. Instead of covering it with a concrete wall as a tide-preventive breakwater, which the neighboring town has
adopted, in Onagawa the view to the ocean is wide open. The town decided that it wants to not only live with the
beautiful view of the ocean, but also be able to see the wave with their own eyes when it transforms itself into a
frightening tsunami, so that they know which way to run.
The town also moved its centre to the coast where the ground is raised with an embankment (筑堤 ). A
comfortable outdoor shopping mall was built, and the school, city hall and work places are located just few metres
higher. The structure allows the whole town to act as one, guiding them toward a newly secured path that will save
their lives on higher ground, instead of scattering in all directions.
Strong leadership brought the town to what it is today. Onagawa’s young mayor played a vital role in keeping the
spirit of the people up. But it came down to other individuals, too, said Toshihiko Abe, former head of the recovery
division of the city hall. “The town is small enough to make everyone play a role, leading in one way or the other. No
one is left behind. We also make sure that those over 60 stand back and let the younger generation take the lead.”
8. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about the tsunami in Ongawa
A. Its effects. B. Its causes. C. The responses to it. D. The lessons from it.
9. What might the underlined “bold” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Typical. B. Daring. C. Complicated. D. Sustainable.
10. What may help Onagawa against tsunamis
①the tide-preventive breakwater
②the all-in-one town structure
③the wide open view to the ocean
④the safety path extending in all directions
A.①② B.①③ C.②④ D. ②③
11. What can we infer about the recovery of Onagawa
A. Old people should give way. B. Young generation plays a vital role.
C. Everyone makes a difference. D. Strong leadership means good governance.
D
With greater climate catastrophe (气候突变 ) on Earth, it is natural for us to make every effort to stop the
potential floods, snowstorms, and alarming reports from scientists. For many of us (myself included), part of that
means running out to buy reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging-free products.
However, before you rejoice in “green” purchases, take a second to consider the results of a new study from
Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the
researchers reaffirmed a principle: Buying less beats buying ”green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you
are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.
It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet. After all, every new item a
factory yields requires some resources to produce. Take plastic bag bans for instance. If your city is getting rid of
single-use shopping bags, it can be tempting to pay for a fashionable organic cotton bag hanging in the check-out line
of your local supermarket. However, experts insist that growing cotton is actually no better for the Earth than
producing the conventional plastic bags. Your best bet for carrying your groceries if you care about sustainability
Any bag you already own. This is true of many kinds of “green” products.
It is not just the Earth that will be happier if you buy less. You will feel more contented too, according to the new
study. “People believe that they might well be self-satisfied about becoming environmentally conscious through green
buying patterns, but it doesn’t seem to be that way”, said the lead researcher Sabrina Helm. “Reduced consumption
has effects on increased well-being and decreased psychological distress, but we don’t see that with green
consumption.”
“Owning every new green product on the market might make you feel contented, but if you relieve yourself of
that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better,” said Helm.
12. Why does the writer mention green shopping habits
A. To call on a green lifestyle. B. To praise people’s green efforts.
C. To introduce a social trend. D. To present a half true ”green truth”.
13. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. The plastic bag bans are of no effect. B. Using any bag you have is the best bet.
C. Reduced consumption is better for the Earth. D. Growing cotton is actually far worse for the Earth.
14. What does the underlined “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. The sense of achievement. B. The sense of happiness.
C. Psychological pressure. D. Environmental awareness.
15. What might be the best title for the text
A. Less is More B. The Greener, The Happier
C. Happiness Guarantee D. What Are Really Green Products
三、七选五 (共 5小题; 每小题 2.5分, 满分 12.5分)
Looking for something new to read Check out the English writer W. Somerset Maugham. Maugham has lately
gotten popular on Chinese social media. 16 That makes sense. Maugham’s words are easy to relate to. They are
even easier to understand. For example, “There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what
they are.” With the above line, Maugham says nobody knows how to write a novel. 17
Maugham’s most famous work is the novel of Human Bondage. It’s about a young man searching for the
meaning of life and finding that the world is cruel. 18 It is The Moon and Sixpence which is based on the life of
French painter Paul Gauguin.
Young readers may prefer his many short stories. 19 According to Britannica (大英百科全书), Maugham
believed that people are unpredictable and forever trapped with their emotions. By joking about life’s troubles, his
stories mix the silly and the serious.
20 He had a lot of unusual life experiences. He grew up as an orphan. He was a doctor until his first novel
became a hit. He then became a famous playwright. During World War I, he worked as a spy. Later, he traveled around
Southeast Asia. All of these things would appear in his novels.
A. Not even himself, a famous novelist!
B. Chinese people like many of his writings.
C. They show the unpredictability of human actions.
D. Why are Chinese attracted by Maugham’s novels
E. Chinese readers have fallen in love with another novel.
F. In many of Maugham’s novels the surroundings are international.
G. Where did Maugham get this uncommon way of looking at the world

Navratri (九夜节) was almost here! Deepa couldn’t wait for the party in the dance hall. she’d wear her special
two-piece dress with tiny bells on the edge. she’d jump and skip and turn around just to hear those bells (铃铛) jingle
(叮当声).
“I think you should try it on,” Mom said, handing Deepa the skirt. “you’ve grown a lot this year. It may not fit.”
Deepa stepped into her skirt and tried pulling it up. She yanked, wiggled, and twisted. She even tried pulling the skirt
down over her head. However, It’s too small.
Deepa’s throat tightened.
Last year, Deepa and Mom had flown to India to visit her aunt, Masi, for Navratri. Masi had taken Deepa
shopping for a holiday dress. Deepa had loved the way the bells on Masl’s anklets (脚镯 ) jingled as they walked
through the market. When Deepa found a dress that jingled, too, she cried, “That one!”
For nine nights, she and her aunt had laughed and danced in the village with their sparkling skirts. And now the
dress no longer fit.
That afternoon, Deepa and her mom went to an Indian store in the mall and picked out a dress covered with little
mirrors. It didn’t feel special. But it fit. Deepa tried getting into the holiday spirit as they drove to the Navratri party.
But her dress was too quiet.
In the parking lot, Mom opened the car trunk to put away her purse. Deepa noticed a familiar bag. “Is that my
dress ” she asked. “I forgot to put it away,” Mom said, closing the trunk. No one will ever see it again, Deepa thought
sadly.
As they neared the dance hall, Deepa heard drums beating, people laughing, bells jingling. Inside, hundreds of
dancers clacked colorful sticks together in a circle. The room felt warm and alive.
Paragraph 1: A lady swayed past and her little girl followed, hopping along holding sticks tied with bells.
Paragraph 2: Deepa tapped Mom’s arm and whispered, “I can help the girl.”

影响, 但我们在绿色消费中看不到这一点。) 可知, 减少消费对于增加幸福感有影响, 但是我们看不到绿色消
费对幸福感的影响, 所以划线单词 that指代“幸福感”。故选 B项。
【15题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文, 文章主要介绍了无论是对地球的影响还是对自己的幸福感而言, 减少消
费比绿色消费更好, 所以“少即是多”可以作为文章标题。故选 A项。

第四部分 写作 (共两节, 满分 40分)
第一节 (满分 15分)
46. 【答案】Possible versions:
[1]
Nowadays, hi-tech has been impacting on our daily life greatly.
Take visiting museums for example. They are not merely places of looking and learning any longer. Thanks to
modern technology, they allow visitors to participate and interact with exhibits, instead. Last summer, I went on a visit
to the Shanghai Natural History Museum, where I experienced its immersive multi-media display for the first time. I
really got a kick out of walking into history, experiencing the rise and fall of human civilization in person. Apparently,
it is the advance of technology that is making static exhibits more interesting and attractive. [2]
The boom of new technologies has been bringing us a lot more convenience in our lives. What has impressed me
most is the way of communication. I used to keep in touch with foreign friends mostly via e-mails. Take Kathleen, the
good friend I made when I took a summer camp in America, for example. Generally we keep writing emails to each
other monthly. Thanks to WeChat, we are now able to keep a much closer bond, exchanging messages any time and
making a video chat every weekend across the Pacific!
[3]With the rapid development of modern technology, our life has changed a lot. Instead of paying in cash while
shopping, I now mostly pay for everything with my smart phone. By scanning and clicking, I can buy what I need in a
blink. And I don’t have to carry paper money or heavy coins any longer. Nor do I worry about losing my wallet.
Non-cash payment has brought my life much convenience. I enjoy the new chapter modern technology has
revealed in my life.
[4]I couldn’t help falling in love with mobile payment the first time I used it. It is convenient and safe, which has
greatly changed my life.
Taking buses is my daily routine. I had so much trouble finding coins for bus fare that I even missed the bus for
once or two. Presently, mobile payment can not only solve the problem but also reduce chances of losing wallets.
I do hope mobile payment will benefit more people like me with its advantages and I’m sure mobile payment
will gain more popularity and recognition.
[5]
Thanks to the increasing development of science and technology, great advances have been made in all fields,
including people’s daily life.
Studying at school, I have access to digital library where I can find whatever I want in a second. The tedious
manual procedures of borrowing books have been simplified to facial scanning. That is true of dining at the school
cafeteria. During my leisure time, some hi-tech devices like a smart watch are making my work-out much easier.
Technology is advancing so fast that the life in the near future may be beyond imagination!

第二节 (满分 25分)
A lady swayed past and her little girl followed, hopping along holding sticks tied with bells. Deepa smiled. It was
like watching herself with Masi. Later, paper plates thick with potato curry were served. The girl squeezed past Deepa,
gripping a plate. “Be careful, my darling,” the lady warned. Suddenly, someone backed into the girl. Deepa cried,
“Watch out! ” But it was too late. Sauce splashed onto the girl’s skirt. “My favorite dress!” the girl sobbed. My
favorite dress. The words stuck.
Deepa tapped Mom’s arm and whispered, “I can help the girl.” They hurried to the car. Deepa scooped out
her dress, and the bells jingled in the wind. She carried it to the girl. “I want you to have this.” “I love it! Thank you!”
the girl cried. After changing into the dress, she hugged Deepa and offered her the jingle sticks. Deepa laughed as they
jumped, skipped, and twirled their way into the dance circle. Navratri was more fun with a little jingle. And a new
friend.

Text 10生还奇迹
M: What can be described as a miracle In today’s News Around the World, let’s focus our attention on 4 children
from Colombia, who were rescued after being lost in the Amazon rainforest for 40 days. On May 1st, 2023,
13-year-old Lesly, 9-year-old Soleiny, 4-year-old Tien Norie and 11-month-old Cristin were flying with their
mother to the town of San José del Guaviare. Midway through the journey, their small airplane suffered an engine
failure and crashed in a remote part of the Colombian Amazon jungle.
Due to bad weather, the Colombian army could not get to the crash site until May 16th, 2023. When they
arrived, they found the bodies of the mother, the pilot and another adult. However, the 4 children were missing.
The only clues to their presence were a baby bottle, some small shoes and tiny footprints near the crash site.
On June 9th, 2023, 40 days after the plane crashed, a local rescue team finally found the children. They huddled
together just 3 miles away from the crash site.
Officials credited the kids’ survival to Lesly. The resourceful 13-year-old had been taught the skills to survive
in the jungle. She used her extensive knowledge of the jungle to seek out edible fruits to feed her siblings.
