第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
There are thousands of incredible trails that allow us to get up close to nature and here are 4 of the best hiking trails in the world.
Pennine Way, the United Kingdom
Stretching 268 miles from the Derbyshire Peak District to the Scottish Borders, the Pennine Way is the United Kingdom’s most famous long-distance path. The entire walk takes around three weeks, passing over wild east of Manchester and through the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, before crossing the ancient border of Hadrian’s Wall and moving on toward Scotland.
Camino de Santiago de Compostela, Spain
Rather than following a single path, the Camino, also known as the Way of St James, is actually a series of different pilgrimage (朝圣) routes. The most popular modern route follows a line across northern Spain from the French Pyrenees. While some choose to stay at monasteries (修道院) along the way, plenty of operators offer hotel stays and luggage transfers.
Appalachian Trail, the United States
Extending for 2,200 miles, the Appalachian Trail is billed as the longest hiking-only footpath in the world. It runs from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine, passing through some of the most remote places in the United States. Those keen on comfort can use companies like Go Shenandoah, which offers pre-booked accommodation and packed lunches.
The Basho Wayfarer, Japan
This self-guided trip follows a route taken by the poet Matsuo Basho over 300 years ago. The six-day hike starts in Sendai and works its way through the northern Toboku region, passing through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hiraizumi and along the ancient Dewa Kaido path, with its wonderful forests, before heading into the mountains of Natagiri-toge and finishing at the temple of Yamadera.
21 Which hiking trail will allow hikers to see the old wall
A. Pennine Way. B. Appalachian Trail.
C. The Basho Wayfarer. D. Camino de Santiago de Compostela.
22. What do Camino de Santiago de Compostela and Appalachian Trail have in common
A. They have more than one popular route.
B. They have beautiful scenery along the way.
C. Hikers on the two trails can get the desired help.
D. Hikers on the two trails may get across two countries.
23. What can a hiker do if he chooses The Basho Wayfarer
A. Stay at a monastery. B. Visit famous ancient sites.
C. Find a guide to accompany him. D. Pre-book accommodation and lunches.
B
December 13, 2022, was a normal day in the cafeteria (食堂) for students at West Alexander Middle School. The cafeteria is typically a social place with students having some free talk time and teachers watching from the stage.
On this particular day, sixth-grader Jaxen Hubbard, was eating his lunch, including a bag of goldfish crackers. He had the crackers in one hand and in his other hand, he was holding the cap of his water bottle. When Jaxen related the events of this incident, he said he must have put the water bottle lid (盖子) in his mouth with a handful of goldfish.
His breathing and speech were affected, but he showed no fear. He was able to communicate his need for help with his body language to teachers. The camera in the cafeteria caught all this on video.
Officer Shawtae Watts heard a call on her walkie-talkie (对讲机) that there was an immediate need for help in the cafeteria and she was the first on the scene. She said the teacher on the walkie-talkie said, “We need help in the cafeteria NOW!” She said that when she entered the cafeteria, she could see Jaxen from across the room. She ran to him and could see that he was choking (窒息). She didn’t ask questions and began immediately administering the Heimlich maneuver (海姆立克急救法) in an effort to clear his airway.
Watts said it wasn’t long before the water bottle lid was out of Jaxen’s throat. It was a messy procedure but a successful one.
Officer Watts has been the School Resource Officer at West for a little over a year, and she had served in law enforcement since 2008. She said this was the first time in her career that she had to perform the Heimlich maneuver.
When asked about Officer Watts, Assistant Principal Miss Jessica Mundy said, “Watts is always first on the scene. She is obviously a valuable resource to the staff and students at West Alexander Middle School.”
24. What happened to Jaxen
A. He got food poisoning.
B. He suffered from a stuck lid.
C. He was in conflict with other students.
D. He began choking after drinking water.

A. He tried to take the cap out. B. He was too frightened to move.
C. He signaled the teachers to come. D. He turned to the camera for help.
26. How was the rescue
A. Simple. B. Effective. C. Well-planned. D. Time-consuming.
27. What did Jessica say about Watts
A. She is creative. B. She is energetic.
C. She is outgoing. D. She is committed.

“I want to work full-time in China, honey.” An overseas call awakened the wife from sound sleep. “Why ” asked the wife with surprise, in a drowsy voice, from the other side of the ocean.
In the United States, he had a great future ahead. At the age of 36, he became the youngest professor in the history of the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University, for his academic achievements. At 40, he became a tenured(终身的) chair professor at Princeton.
When everything seemed perfect and admirable to others, he firmly decided to say goodbye to Princeton University, to an affluent life in the United States, and return to China.
The news spread explosively. Many expressed confusions; many tried to persuade him; many made fun of him; and still many waited to have a good laugh at him.
He said patriotism is the plainest feeling of a person. Who doesn’t love his motherland, after all In his heart, the American dream is already something past; the Chinese dream is rising.
After returning to China, he devoted all his energy, worked like crazy, and determined to do something big. He formed a life science research team. Every day, he works 12 to 16 hours at his laboratory. He is Shi Yigong, nicknamed “Da Niu” (someone with extraordinary achievements) by Tsinghua students. His given name, Yigong, comes from an idiom that means “devoted to public interest whole-heartedly”. “So far as I’m concerned, awards are of no special meaning.” Shi says calmly.
In his 18 years of study in the United States, he never forgot his Chinese dream. In the next 18 years, the Chinese dream will be more beautiful and greater by the efforts of Shi Yigong and the likes of him.

The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.
Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers are entering the sewers and finally end up in the sea.
In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic(合成的) clothing can produce more than 1, 900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.
This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants.
Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he's had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design-his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one women’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding.
32. What has happened during the past five years
A. Fabric has become much stronger. B. Plastic pollution has been less serious.
C. Many plastic bottles have been reused. D. Microfibers have been greatly improved.
33. What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes
A. It is adding microfibers to the clothes.
B. It is worsening environmental problems.
C. It is making synthetic clothes last longer.
D. It is doing great damage to washing machines.
34. What can be inferred about Browne’s Benign by Design research project
A. It has achieved great success. B. It hasn’t got anything done.
C. It is known to very few people. D. It is facing some difficulties.
35. What’s the best title for the text
A. It’s important to learn to recycle
B. It’s never easy to solve pollution problems
C. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution
D. Are human beings moving forward or backward

Many differences.
___37___. This gesture consists of creating a circle with the thumb and index finger with other fingers extended. In most of the English-speaking cultures, it means ‘ok’.
