A
Top Four Cities in Africa for a Great Vacation
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Getting around: Taxis are fine; walking is better.
Though Ethiopian food is familiar to a lot of people, on the streets of Addis, it’s all about coffee. Social life in Addis is built on its preparation and consumption. It’s a chance to sit down among a mostly local crowd and order a coffee.
Lusaka, Zambia
Getting around: Taxis are affordable.
This city is known for Victoria Falls. Small shops are lit at night, and they sell everything from newspapers to soft drinks. On the way, there is the outdoor Mingling Bar, where customers can enjoy a can of Original American Cola.
Abidjan, C te d’Ivoire
Getting around: Taxis are cheap.
Abidjan’s 5 million people are spread out across four areas. When night falls, Yopougon is worth heading to. The roads are dusty in the part of Abidjan, but like many cities where living spaces are small, Abidjan lives its life on its streets. Just to the east of Yopougon is the Plateau, the business area. This area’s modernist building is great and mostly the result of a cocoa-and coffee-based economic development in the 1950s and 1960s.
Dakar, Senegal
Getting around: Taxis are plentiful.
Possibly the best thing about Dakar is its beach restaurants: special collections of tables and chairs where customers are served the freshly caught fish. Servers will often offer to run out to a nearby corner store to buy beer and bring it to the table.
21．Where is Victoria Falls
A．In Abidjan. B．In Addis Ababa. C．In Lusaka. D．In Dakar.
22．What contributes most to the Plateau’s modernist building
A．Art. B．Coffee business. C．History. D．Population.
23．What is special about the beach restaurants in Dakar

B．They are all about coffee.
C．They serve freshly caught fish.
D．They offer free Original American Cola.

What a day! That morning, I was worried that no one would talk to me. But I was wrong. I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all on the first day of senior high school. I miss my friends from junior high school, but I believe I will make new friends here and there’s a lot to explore at senior high school. I feel much more confident than I felt that morning.
My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing.
First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones from maths, English, chemistry, world history, Chinese and so on. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it.
I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community.
I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced courses, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.
24．How did the author feel after the first morning of senior high school
A．Confident. B．Disappointed. C．Frightened. D．Anxious.
25．Which course did the school adviser recommend the author to take
A．Maths. B．Literature. C．Chinese. D．Chemistry.
26．What can we learn from paragraph 4
A．The coach advised Adam to join a volunteer club.
B．Adam decided to make the team the next year.
C．Adam handed out food to the students in the school.
D．The coach helped Adam practice playing football.
27．Which of the following words can describe Adam
A．Shallow. B．Negative. C．Positive. D．Dependent.
C
ChatGPT has quickly become popular around the world because of its advanced conversational abilities. It can answer questions, do translations, give the main idea of articles and even write codes (代码) for a computer program. It is as good as a human inside a computer.
ChatGPT is making life very convenient. A time might come when people hand it some articles and it makes a well-made report. That could, however, mean job losses. After all, if a computer program can write codes, then it would make a programmer lose his job.
That may be a worry, but it is still too early to worry about that. ChatGPT has more advanced learning features, but it still follows the same technological way. Its biggest advantage lies in the ability to turn words into a language from an ocean of data, but it's still not that creative. AI can quickly draw a picture, but that picture will be based on pictures that it has seen. It can also write books about the future, but the books will be based on articles about the future that it has read.
In comparison, a human brain imagines the future and then tries hard to realize it. AI can imagine a future with faster spaceships, but it can't imagine a world of space as humans can.
So there is no need to worry too much. By being creative there will be plenty of chances for humans to win over AI.
28．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．The world. B．ChatGPT. C．A computer. D．A program.
29．How is the fourth paragraph developed
A．By telling stories. B．By giving examples.
C．By listing numbers. D．By making comparisons.
30．Which is the biggest advantage of ChatGPT according to the passage
A．It has its own creativity.
B．It has conversational abilities.
C．It has more advanced learning features.
D．It has the ability to turn words into a language.
31．In which part can you find the passage in a newspaper
A．Sports. B．Science. C．Education. D．Business.
D
Adults who had close contact with natural spaces during their childhood could have a better mental health than those who had less contact, according to a new study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (IS Global),an institution supported by “la Calxa”, involving four European cities—Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania and the UK.
The all-adult study gave 3,600 participants a questionnaire on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood — for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places.
Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety of questionnaires and problem-solving activities, to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a four-week period.
The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed (暴露的) to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure — as did those who attached higher importance to using green spaces.
The study’s coordinator (协调员), Wilma Zijlema, wrote that the results “show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychological state in adulthood”. She also stressed the importance of “recognizing the meaning of growing up in environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature”.
According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited access (接触机会) to natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, director of IS Global’s Urban Planning, said that “Many children in Europe lead an indoors lifestyle, so it would be desirable to make natural outdoor environments available, attractive and safe for them to play in. We make a call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children and green school yards.”
While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So remember to make time to immerse yourself in nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.
32．What can we learn about the study according to Paragraph one
A．It was carried out only in four European cities.
B．It is supported by all the adults who are physically healthy.
C．It indicates the more contact with nature, the happier one’s childhood will be.
D．It shows adulthood mental health could be connected to childhood exposure to nature.
33．What do we know about the study
A．The participants were from all over the world.
B．The participants included both children and adults.
C．It focused on the participants’ physical health state.
D．It was made up of a questionnaire and a psychological test.
34．What do Paragraphs 5-6 mainly talk about
A．The process of the study. B．The method of the study.
C．The value of the study. D．The difficulties of the study.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title of the passage
A．Importance of Physical Health. B．Benefits of Natural Green Spaces.
C．Values of Psychological examinations. D．Problems of Europe’s Young Population.

Dear Mary,
I am sorry to hear that you feel lonely after moving to a new city. I understand quite well that making new friends can be difficult. I'd like to offer you some useful advice on how to connect with others.
To begin with, I recommend you join local clubs because this will help you meet people with similar interests. What's more, it's also a good choice to attend community events, which will offer you opportunities to socialize. Besides, being open and friendly also helps. Only in this way can you build lasting friendships.
I hope you can make new friends very soon and fit in well in the new city.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1: Just as Sarah was about to pack her things and leave, she heard a familiar voice calling her name. It was Emma. Sarah turned around and saw Emma running towards her breathlessly. “I’m so sorry, Sarah,” Emma said. “I was delayed by my math teacher. She wanted to talk to me about my recent progress. I tried to come as soon as possible, but I still made you wait for so long.” Sarah felt relieved when she heard Emma’s explanation. She knew that Emma was a responsible student and would never break her promise on purpose.
Paragraph 2: After the misunderstanding was settled, they decided to prepare for the contest. They discussed the topic of the speech and divided the work. Sarah would be in charge of writing the script, while Emma would focus on practicing the pronunciation and intonation. They spent several days and nights working hard. Finally, the day of the contest came. Sarah and Emma performed well on the stage. Their speech was full of passion and confidence. At the end of the contest, they won the first prize. They were very excited and happy. They knew that this success was not only their own, but also the result of their teamwork and friendship.

Text 10【原文】My winter holiday is coming to the end. It almost lasts a month, but I feel that I just have a week off. How time flies. I had a wonderful vacation. Or exactly I had a wonderful Spring Festival. On the first two days of my vacation, I started doing my homework, because I know if I didn’t work on my study now, I couldn’t have a great Spring Festival later on. So I made up my mind finishing my homework before the Spring Festival really comes. How wonderful the expected festival was. My house was full of laughter and happiness. My families and relatives gave me some lucky money and wished me to make progress on my study. I also hung out with friends in the street. When the atmosphere of Spring Festival was just fading away, the Lantern Festival was coming. After that, I don’t have too much holiday time left. Three days later, I will go back to school for my new term. I am so happy that I feel I just had a one-week holiday.
