A
E-waste Electronic waste (e-waste) comes from computers, cameras, phones, fridges, TVs and so on.
How much e-waste has been produced
There is too much e-waste on the earth. In the past ten years, 506.5 Mt of e-waste has been produced. That is as heavy as about 50,149 Eiffel Towers.
What can we do with e-waste E-waste is harmful to the environment. Repeat the three words in our life: reduce, reuse and recycle. Here are some examples.
◆Quadloop created solar lanterns with e-waste. ◆Mixed Reality Lab designed educational toys with e-waste for poor kids. ◆Junichi Kawanishi turned about 79,000 tons of e-waste into medals. ◆Alex Lin recycled about 136 tons of broken computers into ones that can be used again.
41. In 2022, how much e-waste was produced in the world
A. 59.4 Mt. B. 53.6 Mt. C. 48.2 Mt. D. 39.8 Mt.
42. What did Alex Lin do with e-waste
A. He made medals. B. He created lanterns.
C. He designed toys. D. He recycled computers.
43. In which part of a website can we read the page
A. Food. B. Health. C. Travel. D. Environment.

Classical Chinese gardens are purposely designed so that no matter where you stand, you can never see the whole thing at once. The mystery and the discovery have helped the classical gardens of China, especially those in Suzhou, remain popular attractions after all these years.
Put simply, the aim of a classical Chinese garden is to deepen one’s admiration of nature. Besides just relaxing in nature, the classical Chinese gardens have another purpose—to inspire artistic expression like poetry, literature or painting. Nearly all Chinese gardens feature the things in the list below.
Water
Water is a necessary thing that no Chinese garden can go without. The water in a garden typically symbolizes a lake or even the ocean. Water can even symbolize communication movement and dreams.
Rocks
Large rocks typically symbolize mountains. Many of the rocks in the Suzhou gardens come from Lake Tai, having been shaped by the flow of water over thousands of years. Smaller rocks are often on show in the fancy halls at a garden’s entrance. This shows the appreciation the garden owners had of these rocks.
Plants
You can’t have a garden without plants. Different plants and flowers are used for either symbolic or aesthetic (美学的) purpose—or both. Bamboo, for example, represents strength. Flowers, meanwhile, add color to a garden, with each carrying a symbolic meaning of its own.
Gates & Windows
Gates of different shapes divide different parts of a garden. The most common type of gate, the moon gate, is simply a circle. Windows are placed throughout the garden to allow the passage of light. You can also catch a glimpse of interesting trees or rocks on the other side from the window.
Pavilions (亭)
In Chinese gardens, pavilions are usually placed in some of the best viewing places. Sometimes a pavilion is placed where one can see the reflection (倒影) of the moon at night, or in the best place to listen to the sound of rain on the leaves above. In the past, pavilions were also used as places for garden owners to reflect, paint and write poems.
44 What does the underlined word “those” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Plants. B. Paintings. C. Classical gardens. D. Mystery and discovery.
45. What’s the purpose of this text
A. To list some plants and flowers. B. To introduce classical Chinese gardens.
C. To explain the history of classical gardens. D. To compare different classical gardens in China.
46 Which of the following best explains “glimpse” underlined in paragraph 6
A. Look. B. Visit. C. Guess. D. Feeling.
47. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Nature Speaks for Itself B. Chinese Gardens and Western Gardens
C. Getting Lost in Classical Chinese Gardens D. Finding Ways to Modern Arts and Buildings
C
With all our modern education and technology, we might think we’re smarter than people born a century ago. But are we really
It’s not quite clear, but scientists do think that over the last century our brains have been getting bigger. A new study has found that people born in the 1970s had a 6.6% larger brain volume (容量) and 15% larger brain surface than those born in the 1930s. According to the research team, it’s possible that larger brains could reduce the risk of age-related dementia — a gradual decline (衰退) in memory, thinking, behavior and social skills.
The researchers looked at MRI (磁共振成像) scans of participants in the Framingham Heart Study in the US. This is a health survey that began in 1948 and is now looking at its third generation of participants. The MRI scans were done between 1999 and 2019, and more than 3,000 people were studied. As well as increased brain size, the study found that brain structures including the hippocampus (海马体) — the area that deals with learning and memory, have grown in size. That’s when comparing people born in the 1970s with those born in the 1930s, and when accounting for factors like increased body size.
The study’s first author Charles DeCarli said larger brain structures may reflect improved brain development and improved brain health. He added, “A larger brain structure represents a larger brain reserve (储备).” This means the brain might be better able to deal with the damage that comes with getting older. This could help reduce the risk of age-related brain diseases like Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病), DeCarli pointed out.
The number of people living with Alzheimer’s in the US has been increasing since the 1970s, as the population has grown and aged. But as a percentage of population, the rate has actually been decreasing by 20% per decade.
DeCarli thinks larger brains may have had an effect on this trend, but further research is required.
48. What is the writer’s purpose of raising a question in Paragraph 1
A. To stress the importance of education.
B. To lead readers to the topic of the passage.
C. To tell us to make good use of modern technology.
D. To discuss what people were like a century ago.
49. Charles DeCarli agrees that ________.
A. a bigger brain will cause diseases easily.
B. a larger brain structure is helpful for our health.
C. the larger our brains are, the smarter we will become.
D. the brain size of three generations of participants hasn’t changed.
50. What can we infer (推断) from the passage
A. Our brains are getting bigger and maybe healthier.
B. Scientists find new ways to protect us from brain diseases.
C. More and more people are suffering from Alzheimer’s in the US.
D. People’s brain structures in the 1970s are different from those in the 1930s.
第二节：
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Today’s students who learn English have a lot of exposure (暴露) to the language outside of the classroom. By using the Internet, social media, and other digital (数字的) technologies, they can watch videos, listen to music, and play video games in English.
But teachers are not so sure that digital exposure results in better English-speaking abilities. ____51____
The study is called “How 13-Year-Olds Learn English”. It provides case studies of teaching teenagers English from five countries: Finland, Greece, Israel, the Netherlands and Portugal.
The researchers collected information by visiting schools and observing English lessons in each country. ____52____
Some students in Greece said it is easier to search for English-language information on the Internet because more of it is available. In the Netherlands, 15-year-olds described watching English videos online.
In a written opinion study, half of the students in the Netherlands reported always using English when using digital tools. Teachers, however, are unsure whether digital tools are improving students’ English knowledge. While teachers said using English platforms might increase students’ motivation (动力) to learn and help them get used to the language, the platforms are not necessarily teaching them English.
A large part of the work, the researchers said, is examining inequities (不公平) in education. ____53____ For example, kids from wealthy families are able to travel to English-speaking countries or attend winter camps where they can speak English to international friends. Besides, ____54____
There has been a big change in how students are exposed to English outside of school. But within the classroom, things “hadn’t really changed”. The report noted how digital technologies are used within the classroom, ____55____

Ⅶ.任务型阅读：
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。
Beer (啤酒) and eggs are commonly seen in the kitchen. However, scientists recently found that they were used in historic paintings, too.
To store Danish paintings, a group of researchers studied what ancient paints were made of. They did experiments on small pieces of paintings that had already been cut off from the original (原始的) artwork.
According to their paper published in Science Advances, grains and yeast (粮食和酵母) were found on the base of the paintings. Beer was the most common drink in the 19th century in Denmark, and its by-products were spent grains and yeast.
The study showed that they were used to provide a stable (稳定的) painting surface. Researchers also pointed out that beer by-products (副产品) were used as a “glue” because they had a lot of sugar. With beer added, the paint could also dry faster.
Apart from beer, the egg has long been found in oil-based paints used by artists in the 15th century, such as Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci. A recent study published in Nature Communications may have cracked the secret of how eggs can help store artworks.
The researchers re-created the ancient paint by adding egg yolks (蛋黄) to oil paint. They then looked into how it changed over time. The findings showed that the yolk’s proteins (蛋白质) helped slow the oxidation (氧化) of the paint. It could also reduce wrinkling (起皱纹) as the egg makes the paint smoother.
However, the oil paint with added eggs usually takes longer to dry. It seemed fine for artists — they were willing to accept that to have their works stored for longer.
“The more we understand how artists choose and use their materials, the more we can appreciate (欣赏) what they’re doing”, Ken Sutherland, an expert at the Art Institute of Chicago, US, told Science News. Sutherland added that research like this could help people have a deeper understanding of the artworks.
76. According to the recent findings, where were beer and eggs used
They were used in ________.
77. What were found on the base of the paintings according to Paragraph 3
________ were found on the base of the paintings.
78. Which English word in the passage is the closest in meaning to “crack”
It is “________”
79. How could the paint feel after the yolk’s proteins worked (起作用)？
The paint could feel ________.
80. According to Ken Sutherland, how could the research like this help
It could provide ________ of the artworks.

【答案】例文：
Dear Peter,
How’s it going I’m writing the e-mail to tell you about the “Plant a tree for our school” activity in our school. Last Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock, all Grade 9 students gathered on the playground to plant trees.
First, we dug holes in groups. Then we carefully placed the young trees into the holes and filled them with soil. Finally, we watered the trees and took photos together. Everyone worked hard but felt happy.
This activity is meaningful in two ways. It helps make our school more beautiful and protects the environment. Also, these trees will grow with our school, reminding future students of our love for the campus.
What do you think of this tradition
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
