Geneva, the second-largest city in Switzerland after Zurich, has a good position on the southwestern end of Lake Geneva. Visitors to Geneva will find an expensive, clean and elegant city. Here are some best things to do in Geneva.
Catch the Spray From the Jet d’Eau
Built in 1886 to control the outflow of water from a nearby power plant, the Jet d’Eau (water jet) soon became a symbol of the city of Geneva. It shoots water nearly 140 metres into the air and is the tallest fountain in the world. Unless winds are too strong, the Jet d’Eau runs every day and is bright at night.
Tour the Palais des Nations (UN Headquarters)
Built in the 1930s as the headquarters of the short-lived League of Nations, the Palais des Nations (Palace of Nations) is the second-largest UN headquarters outside of New York City. It’s a vast campus of administrative buildings around a parklike setting. Visitors are free to wander the grounds or may jump in on an hour-long guided tour of several of the buildings.
Stroll the Lakefront and Riverside
The Jardin Anglais is just one of several places to admire the lake and the Jet d’Eau. The entire lakefront is for walking. There are 6 miles of pedestrian-only (仅限行人) walking and bike paths along the entire lakefront.
Take a Break at the Jardin Anglais & the Flower Clock
All roads in Geneva seems to lead to the Jardin Anglais — the English Garden — the small, prettily planted lakefront garden in the centre of Geneva. Crowds flock here for the flower clock, with seasonal flowers. Plenty of sitting areas, shade trees, and a central fountain make this a relaxing place to take a break from sightseeing.
1. Why did people build the Jet d’Eau
A. To store water for a nearby power plant. B. To limit the water from an electric plant.
C To make it the tallest fountain of the world. D. To make it a symbol of the city of Geneva.
2. What can we know about the Palais des Nations
A. It has a history of over 100 years. B. It’s the second largest building in Geneva.
C. It lies in a vast campus in Geneva. D. It offers guided tours for visitors.
3. What may people go to the Jardin Anglais for
A. Planting some flowers in the garden. B. Practising their English in the garden.
C. Going sightseeing for the flower clock. D. Buying cheap seasonal flowers.
B
In May, we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, or AAPI Heritage Month. My family comes from the country of Bangladesh, a country in South Asia. Tens of years ago, members of my family moved to the United States. They lived in New Jersey, where some other relatives had already lived.
While family members have got used to American ways of life, the Bangladeshi culture is still alive through our food and culture. Traditionally in May, we go to my grandmother’s house and make homemade paratha, fresh mint tea, aloo tikki, khichri, and phirni, all of which are delicious Bangladeshi foods.
When my mother was growing up, she often asked my grandma to make paratha. “Even now, I ask my mum to make paratha. Having my mum’s paratha brings back something from my childhood,” she says.
Often, we start our morning by picking fresh mint from my grandma’s garden, which we later use in our tea. We then collect what is needed for—the star of our breakfast, paratha. Some simple things include flour (面粉) water, and salt. The most important part is kneading the dough (揉面团). Many things can go wrong, such as adding too much water or not adding enough flour. With practice, the end result is fried bread that is thin.
Shortly after our light breakfast, we prepare aloo tikki. It starts with mashing (捣碎) potatoes. My grandma often uses pink salt and lemon to make the potatoes taste better. Next, the potatoes are shaped into small round pieces and fried in oil. The final thing on our menu is phirni, a rice pudding. It’s the perfect way to end a Bangladeshi meal.
My grandmother moved to the U. S. as a teenager. It’s a gift to learn about her experiences, and to learn from her about the tastes of Bangladeshi culture. Although Bangladesh is a lesser known Asian country, through people like my grandmother, Bangladeshi culture and traditions will continue.
4. How does the author’s family celebrate AAPI Heritage Month
A. By having a meal with their friends at home.
B. By sharing ways to cook Bangladeshi dishes.
C. By taking his grandmother out for a big meal.
D. By cooking something from their native land.
5. What can we learn from the author’s mother’s words
A. She likes paratha very much. B. She misses her mum very much.
C. She is not good at cooking. D. She had a lonely childhood.
6. What is the most challenging part of preparing paratha
A. Picking fresh mint. B. Kneading the dough.
C. Frying bread. D. Mashing the potatoes.
7. What does the author tell us to do by writing the text ·
A. Keep all close people in mind. B. Celebrate even small wins in life.
C. Keep hometown cultures alive. D. Arrange a happy family time often.
C
Based on a comic series of the same name, Paper Girls arrived on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, July 29, 2022. It tells the story of four 12-year-old paper girls — Erin, Mac, Tiffany, and KJ — on a time-travelling adventure in the late 1980s, when girls usually delivered newspapers in Cleveland, Ohio.
The comic series was written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated (作插图) by Cliff Chiang. According to Chiang, the series explores questions of identity all young people face. “When you’re 12,” he said, “you’re starting to ask yourself, ‘Who do I want to be ’ And that’s a question that follows you throughout your life.”
Chiang, a famous illustrator, was thrilled to draw strong female characters in Paper Girls. He liked the book so much that he decided to revisit the world of the book by drawing pictures for it. “They’re changing themselves,” he said, “and they also stand for so much potential (潜力) to change the world. Because there’s always something broken that they need to fix, and hopefully fix for the better.” He said it looks at diversity (多样性) in a new way. “Diversity is so important,” Chiang said. “It just shows you that the world has always been diverse.”
“Wherever you look, there is a woman in power,” said actor Nate Corddry, who plays Larry Radakowski in the time-travel adventure. “The biggest thing is that this lesson that women can run every department is being sent down to the girls.” Actress Camryn Jones agreed. The 15-year-old plays paper girl Tiffany. “There’s a heavy female influence on this project,” she said.
8. What do we know about Paper Girls
A. It was produced in July. B. It tells a fact-based story.
C. It is set in the late 1980s. D. Its characters are made of paper.
9. What does the underlined word “thrilled” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Excited. B. Touched. C. Worried. D. Confused.
10. Who plays one of the leading roles in the show
A. Brian K. Vaughan. B. Cliff Chiang. C. Nate Corddry. D. Camryn Jones.
11. What message does Paper Girls mainly try to get across to girls
A. Women can be brave. B. Women can be clever.
C. Women can be lovely. D. Women can be powerful.
D
A new study, which was done by Brigham Young University, has found that students perform better in school if they go on more cultural field trips.
Field trips have always been seen as fun for students, and they look forward to their chances to get out of the classroom and go somewhere fun. But field trips can be difficult for teachers to plan, because they need to make sure that there is learning and value included. Some have argued about the worth of field trips, and whether they are worth a student missing a whole day out of school.
However, Heidi Erickson, one of the researchers in the study, stated that there is no harm in taking students out of the classroom, even for multiple days throughout the year, as long as they are learning and in an appropriate space. The study had 4th- and5th-grade students from 15schools take part in this study. They went on three cultural field trip s during the school year, to an art museum, a live theatre performance, and a symphony (交响乐) concert. Then the researchers looked at their school year compared to students who did not take part and this is where they saw the difference.
The study found that students who went on multiple field trips a year had higher test scores and performed better in class over time when compared to students who did not go on as many field trips.
This new study is showing the true value of field trips, especially when they are considered “cultural”.
12. Why is it hard for teachers to plan field trips according to Paragraph 2
A. Teachers are concerned about students’ safety.
B. Teachers don’t believe in the worth of field trips.
C. Students have to miss a whole day out of school.
D. Teachers have to ensure the students meaningful experiences.
13. What is Heidi Erickson’s attitude towards cultural field trips
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Concerned. D. Unclear.
14. How did the researchers make the finding
A By asking students questions.
B. By taking field trips themselves.
C. By doing surveys among teachers.
D. By comparing different groups of students.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Cultural field trips improve students’ grades.
B. Students perform better in an appropriate space.
C. Why cultural field trips are popular with students.
D. Why the number of students’ field trips is dropping.

47. 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。
Simon transferred (转学) to the school which Jerry attended after his parents business closed down. Jerry had met Simon long before. After all, his mother once worked as the housekeeper in the large house that was Simon’s home. Since young Jerry had looked at all that Simon had with envy and anger. Jerry’s mother ensured that Jerry treated Simon’s family with politeness, unaware that each time she made him do so, her young son’s hatred increased.
Jerry was seen as the leader in class, being the captain of the school soccer team. The other students looked on him as their hero. When Simon transferred to the school, Jerry knew that it was payback time. He would show Simon that he was the superior one even without all the trappings of wealth. Thus,he always tried to ensure Simon was unwelcome in his class. He always said,“Sometimes, we have to treat people unkindly for their own good.”
One day, Jerry’s teammate ran to him with the message that his form teacher and soccer coach wanted to see him in the teachers’ office. Jerry ran to the teacher’s office. The expressions on the faces of his form teacher and coach worried him. He sat down quietly, hoping that the worst would not happen. He knew that he had not managed to get the minimum score required for a school athlete to remain in the school team. But he was confident that his superb performance in the soccer team would overcome all those poor results. The look on their faces showed that he was mistaken.
As he left the office, Jerry was upset. How was he to achieve the results required by the school before they would let him play in the game due to start in a month’s time To catch up on all his schoolwork in a month was clearly impossible. His mother would never be able to afford a private teacher and he had no good friends who were capable of helping him.
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。
Just then, Jerry saw Simon and he brightened up.

After a long stop, Simon’s voice rang out loud and clear.

【47题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
Just then, Jerry saw Simon and he brightened up. Simon was the top boy in his class and would surely be able to help him. Jerry’s smile broadened even more as he thought of how thankful Simon would be to be given a chance to help a popular boy in class. Jerry walked quickly over to Simon and put forward his proposal to Simon that he should stay back in school after lessons every day to help Jerry achieve the required results. Jerry was confident that Simon would agree.
After a long stop, Simon’s voice rang out loud and clear. “Thank you for your kind offer Jerry. But I’m afraid I cannot help you. You may think that I’m unkind, but sometimes, we have to treat people unkindly for their own good.” With that, he turned around and walked away leaving a shocked Jerry in the corridor. Jerry realized he had hurt Simon deeply. Without hesitation, Jerry ran up to Simon and said sorry sincerely. Sensing Jerry’s sincerity, Simon forgave him.
