【原文】W: Last year, I went to China as an exchange student. Mrs. Zhang, one of my father’s Chinese business partners became my caretaker, but she was very busy, so basically I had to take care of myself while I was not at school. The second day after my arrival, I went to a supermarket searching for basic food stuff. Only then did I realize my 12-week stay in China was going to be tough — everything was in Chinese. I managed to find bread, salad and ham. However, I just couldn’t locate the whereabouts of the thing I was dying for, tomato sauce. What’s worse, hardly could anybody understand what I was trying to ask. I was almost on the edge of crying. Then a woman approached me and asked me if everything was okay by using hand gestures. I asked her where I could find tomato sauce, but she didn’t know English, either. She dialed a number on her cellphone and passed it to me. It was her son. He talked to me in English and asked me what I needed. He then translated that back to his mother and she took me to the section. In a strange place, if someone tries to do even this much for you, it is enough in taking a leap of faith.

【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章讲述了一位被诊断患有一种罕见的疾病“闭锁综合症”的作家与病魔斗争，最终把自己的故事用优美的语言写成一本书展示给世人，传递出他不屈不挠的精神。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It came from a book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a former journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby. (这句话出自前记者让·多米尼克·鲍比的《潜水钟与蝴蝶》一书。)”以及“For four years until December 1995 he was the very successful chief editor of Elle. (在1995年12月之前的四年里，他一直是《Elle》杂志非常成功的主编。)”可知，他曾经是一名成功的记者和编辑。故选B项。
25．段落大意题。根据文章第四段“In this inert (无活动能力的) body, however, his brain was working furiously, trying to make people understand what he was thinking. With the help of a specialised nurse, Claude Mendibil, he was able to write his book, using only his ability to blink at the most frequently used letters of the alphabet.(然而，在这个无活动能力的身体里面，他的大脑正在疯狂地工作，试图让人们理解他在想什么。在专业护士克劳德·门迪比尔的帮助下，他仅凭对着字母表中最常用的字母眨眼的能力就能写书了。)”以及第五段“He would spend most of the night editing his thoughts and composing sentences. When Mendibil arrived in the morning he could dictate them to her in a succession of (一连串) blinks. It took him about 200,000 blinks to write his book of more than 100 pages.(他会花一晚上的时间编辑自己的想法和造句。当门迪比尔早上到达时，他可以连续眨眼口述给她听。他眨眼20万次才完成这本100多页的书。)”可知，这两段主要讲述鲍比瘫痪之后如何完成他的书。故选A项。
26．细节理解题。根据文章第六段“The book reads in flowing images that light up his predicament (困境). The style is clear and fresh, and not without elegance, imagination and shafts of humour. (这本书以流畅的画面展现了他的困境。风格清晰清新，不乏优雅、想象力和幽默。)”可知，这本书用优雅而富有创造性的语言描述了鲍比瘫痪的生活。故选D项。

C 篇
28．B 29．C 30．A 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一项研究，该研究发现，家猫能够理解人类的语言，识别人类的面部表情。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“In the first half of 2022, scientists studying animal communication discovered that some dogs connect objects with words at a similar level to babies. Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs ”（在2022年上半年，研究动物交流的科学家发现，一些狗与婴儿的语言水平相似。那么，人们普遍认为不关心人类事务的猫又是如何的呢 ）可知，人们普遍认为猫对人类不感兴趣。故选B项。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段最后三句“Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and attentional states, according to a 2016 study. However, cats can do more than that. ”(像狗一样，它们可以使用人类的指点和凝视来寻找食物。根据2016年的一项研究，他们甚至可以区分人类的面部表情和注意力状态。然而，猫可以做的不止于此。)可知，猫可以跟狗做一样辨别人的肢体语言，但是猫能做的可能会更多，所以通过对比，是为了强调猫能做的已经突破了对肢体语言的识别。故选C项。
30．词义猜测题。 根据第三段第一句“Another study showed that cats can discriminate their human-given name from the names of their cat friends (those that live in the same household).” (另一项研究表明，猫可以……它们的人类名字和住在同一家庭的猫朋友的名字。)及最后一句“The researchers believed that cats learned to associate names with other cats by observing interactions between their owners and their cat friends.”(研究人员认为，猫通过观察主人和猫朋友之间的互动，学会了将名字与其他猫联系起来。)可知，猫可以学会把名字和其他的猫联系起来，那它们就可以把人类给的名字与他的猫朋友的名字区别开，故推知discriminate意为“区别，辨别”。故选A项。
31．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中最后一句“House cats had a significantly longer stare than café cats, indicating that household cats generally expected a specific cat’s face upon hearing the cat’s name.”(家猫的凝视时间明显长于猫咖的猫，这表明家猫在听到猫的名字时通常会期待特定的猫的脸出现。)可知，家猫听到猫的名字就会期待着看到特定的猫脸出现，由此可推断，家猫能够知道他们猫朋友的名字。故选B项。
D 篇
32．D 33．C 34．B 35．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了室内种植的番茄如何通过水培温室技术变得与户外生长的番茄一样美味。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句话““There’s a lot of techniques you can use to grow tomatoes off-season,” says Neil Mattson, co-director of Cornell University’s Controlled Environment Agriculture program. In the past five years, greenhouse tomato production has doubled.(康奈尔大学受控环境农业项目联合主任Neil Mattson说：“有很多技术可以在淡季种植西红柿。”。在过去的五年里，温室番茄产量翻了一番)”可知，利用技术使番茄在淡季的生长使温室番茄的产量翻了一翻。故选D。
33．词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句话“That doesn’t mean all the tomatoes currently being grown in greenhouses are very flavorful. (这并不意味着目前在温室里种植的所有番茄都很美味)”可知，温室种植的西红柿可能不是很美味，因为有时候为了提高产量而牺牲了味道。所以划线单词的意思为“牺牲”，此处指放弃了西红柿的美味。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据第三段“But that’s all changing with the new hydroponic system. Researchers are now trying their best to save some ripening(成熟的) time by growing produce locally. Gotham Greens, based in New York City, grows hydroponic tomatoes year-round and sells them to local restaurants and supermarkets. And Backyard Farms, based in Maine, supplies its hydroponically grown crop to nearby markets in the Northeast.(但这一切都随着新的水培系统而改变。研究人员现在正尽力通过在当地种植农产品来节省一些成熟时间。总部位于纽约市的哥谭格林公司全年种植水培番茄，并将其出售给当地餐馆和超市。总部位于缅因州的后院农场向东北部附近的市场供应水培作物)”可推知，第二段提到Gotham Greens和Backyard Farms是为了突出指出研究人员正在努力改变西红柿的成熟时间，从而让它们尝起来更美味。故选B。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段““That’s not to say we’ll value the summer harvest any less. In the end, I still love growing my own tomatoes in my backyard in the summer,” Mattson says. “It’s psychological(心理的),but I think they taste best.”(马特森说：“这并不是说我们会低估夏季的收成。最终，我仍然喜欢在夏天在后院种植自己的西红柿。”。“这是心理上的(心理的),但我觉得味道最好。”)”可知，Mattson认为户外种植的西红柿味道是最好的。由此可推知，他对户外种植西红柿持肯定和支持的态度。故选A。

Cook with background music. And then set a beautiful table and enjoy the fruits of your work.(找到让你兴奋的美食点子。伴着背景音乐做饭。然后摆一张漂亮的桌子，享受你的工作成果)”表示要让这一过程变得有趣，C选项“所有这些步骤都可以是有趣的体验”承上启下，且those steps与前文buy the ingredients, prepare the food, cook it, and then sit down to eat呼应。故选C。
39．空处为本段小标题，根据后文“Meal times are the perfect time to get to know each other better and enjoy each other’s company.

A voice reaches us, crying out from the depths of a profound silence: “I am alive, I can think, and no one has the right to deny me these two realities...”
The words were conveyed by a flicker (跳动) of the left eyelid. It came from a book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a former journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby. He worked for journals like the Quotidien de Paris and Paris Match. For four years until December 1995 he was the very successful chief editor of Elle.
Then the unthinkable happened. A cardiovascular (心血管的) accident sent him into a deep coma (昏迷), from which he emerged 20 days later in a hospital on the north-east coast of France. His brain remained undamaged, but its connection to his body left him with only the ability to blink his left eyelid. The poor man was diagnosed as suffering from the rare disease “Locked-in Syndrome (闭锁综合征),” unable to breathe or eat without assistance.
It was hard to accept the transition from an “earthman in perfect working order” to what his friends termed “a vegetable.” In this inert (无活动能力的) body, however, his brain was working furiously, trying to make people understand what he was thinking. With the help of a specialised nurse, Claude Mendibil, he was able to write his book, using only his ability to blink at the most frequently used letters of the alphabet. Mendibil pointed to them on a screen: one blink for “yes,” two blinks for “no.”
He would spend most of the night editing his thoughts and composing sentences. When Mendibil arrived in the morning he could dictate them to her in a succession of (一连串) blinks. It took him about 200,000 blinks to write his book of more than 100 pages. In it, Bauby describes his paralyzed existence as being trapped in an old-fashioned deep-sea diving bell while the “butterflies” of his mind flutter about freely.
One would expect from this process a formal factual report, but that is not the case. The book reads in flowing images that light up his predicament (困境). The style is clear and fresh, and not without elegance, imagination and shafts of humour.
He is also in search of past time, of memory itself, of the books he had read, the poems he had learnt by heart. Even sadder, he thinks of all the books he wanted to read and hadn’t gotten to. He has to listen to someone else reading them to him. He recalls meals, a horse race, his life and work as an editor, and his struggle in his hospital bed to twitch his nose when a fly lands on it.
“From this hell comes a great message of life and hope,” said Antoine Audouard, a friend of Bauby’s and the book’s publisher.

In the first half of 2022, scientists studying animal communication discovered that some dogs connect objects with words at a similar level to babies. Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs
Saho Takagi, a researcher at Azabu University, doubted cats’ seeming unconcern. “Cats don’t appear to listen to people’s conversations, but in fact, they do.” According to a past research, cats understand human communication better than expected. Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and attentional states, according to a 2021 study. However, cats can do more than that.
Another study showed that cats can discriminate their human-given name from the names of their cat friends (those that live in the same house). The researchers believed that cats learned to connect names with other cats by observing communication between their owners and their cat friends.
In a recently published study, Takagi and her colleagues compared two groups of cats: one group was made up of house cats and lived with at least two other cats; the other was made up of cats that lived in “cat cafés”, which had up to 30 cats. They used a simple, two-phase(阶段) test. During the name phase, the study participant(参与者) was softly placed in front of a laptop computer. Then the researcher played a recording of its owner saying the name of its cat companions(同伴).
Immediately after the name phase came the face phase. A cat’s face appeared on the monitor. Sometimes, the cat that appeared on the screen matched the name spoken; other times the name and the picture did not match. If cats knew the names of their cat friends, they would investigate by staring doubtfully at the monitor when the name and the picture did not match. House cats had a significantly longer stare than café cats, indicating that house cats generally expected an exact cat’s face upon hearing the cat’s name.
“This is the first to show that house cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences,” the researchers wrote, “However, we could not recognize the mechanism(机制) for learning. But with more and more scientists becoming interested in cats who are much smarter than we praise them, this question is sure to be solved.”
28．What’s people’s common understanding of cats
A．They have their own language.
B．They show no interest in human things.
C．They can connect objects with words.
D．They can use human instructions to find food.
29．By comparing cats and dogs in Paragraph 2, the author wants to stress ______.
A．cats and dogs get along well with humans
B．cats’ ability to learn is stronger than dogs’
C．cats’ ability goes beyond body language recognition
D．cats and dogs are all clever animals in people’s eyes
30．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “discriminate” in Paragraph 3
A．Tell. B．Protect. C．Excuse. D．Learn.
31．What did the researchers conclude about house cats from the study
A．They are curious about cat names.
B．They know the names of their cat friends.
C．They are dependent on their owners.
D．They like communicating with each other.
D
According to scientists, some tomatoes grown indoors are now just as flavorful as the ones grown outdoors in perfect summer conditions. There has been a lot of research and investment (投资) in hydroponic (水栽的) greenhouses, which allow farmers to grow tomatoes without soil, in recent years as consumers have needed more and better fresh vegetables year-round. “There’s a lot of techniques you can use to grow tomatoes off-season,” says Neil Mattson, co-director of Cornell University’s Controlled Environment Agriculture program. In the past five years, greenhouse tomato production has doubled.
That doesn’t mean all the tomatoes currently being grown in greenhouses are very flavorful. Flavor sometimes gets sacrificed for high yields (产量), just as it does in the production of commercial field-grown tomatoes. “The greenhouse is such an expensive structure that we’re paying a lot to heat and light,” Mattson says. Therefore, farmers often need to grow a lot of tomatoes to make up for it. “And just like the field-grown varieties, much greenhouse-grown fruit is harvested before its peak (顶峰) and travels long distances before it ends up in a supermarket,” he says.
But that’s all changing with the new hydroponic system. Researchers are now trying their best to save some ripening (成熟的) time by growing produce locally. Gotham Greens, based in New York City, grows hydroponic tomatoes year-round and sells them to local restaurants and supermarkets. And Backyard Farms, based in Maine, supplies its hydroponically grown crop to nearby markets in the Northeast.
“It’s becoming increasingly important now that global warming is making outdoor farming less predictable (可预料的) , but greenhouse growers don’t have to worry about a heavy rain or a cold day destroying their fruit,” says Gene Giacomelli, who directs the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center at the University of Arizona. The advantages of a greenhouse are that growers can control the amount of heat and light their crops get. Many are equipped with man-made lights that growers can turn on when sunlight is not enough. And the hydroponic system allows them to control pretty much everything else.
“That’s not to say we’ll value the summer harvest any less. In the end, I still love growing my own tomatoes in my backyard in the summer,” Mattson says. “It’s psychological (心理的) ,but I think they taste best.”
32．What benefited the doubling of greenhouse tomato production
A．Improving the taste of tomatoes.
B．Developing high-yielding tomatoes.
C．Growing tomatoes all year round outdoors now.
D．Using technology for tomatoes’ growth off-season.
33．What does the underlined word “sacrificed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Settled for. B．Turned up. C．Given up. D．Looked down.
34．By mentioning Gotham Greens and Backyard Farms, the author wants to stress ______.
A．farmers’ expectation to ensure tomatoes’ high yield
B．researchers’ efforts to make tomatoes more flavorful
C．the need for locally grow n high-quality tomatoes
D．the important change in produce transportation systems
35．What’s Mattson’s attitude towards outdoor farming
A．Supportive. B．Negative. C．Objective. D．Unconcerned.
