8、ia(社交媒体). We use it almost every day in order to keep up with what is happening in our friends lives, or find out the latest information. Although it has a bad influence if we dont use it properly, social media has done more good than harm.The greatest advantage is that we can connect with people mu

9、ch more easily. We are still able to keep in touch with our friends if they are far away. With social media, friendship goes beyond geography. We are able to find friends old and new. Also, it makes it easier for us to make friends, especially for those who are afraid of making friends face to face.

10、 Are you shy? If yes, social media has probably helped.Social media is also ideal for making yourself heard. Anyone with a voice can express it. Anyone with a talent is free to show it. Everyone is the new content creator. Moreover, anyone with a smartphone and the Internet can be a reporter. As a r

11、esult, it has become much faster to cover the news than ever before.Social media, on the other hand, can make us less confident sometimes. A 2021 study published by the Public Library of Science, found that the more a person uses social media, the sadder he feels about his own life. One reason for t

12、his is that people around us put colourful information and perfect pictures online in order to show off their best moment. So we often get a distorted sense of how wonderful their lives are compared to our own.Social media does not cause sadness; it simply provides another tool for us to use. Is it

13、good or bad? Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai says, “What is interesting is the power and influence of social media . We must try to use social media in a good way.” After all, you decide how you use this powerful tool.1What is the greatest advantage of social media according to the passage

14、?AExpressing our voices freely.BShowing our talents to others.CRecording the best side of our life.DConnecting with people more easily.2What does the word “distorted” probably mean in Paragraph 4?AclearBdifferentCincorrectDsimple3Which picture shows the structure(结构) of the passage?

With the development of AI,

16、we may be able to understand their languages!In Professor Karen Bakkers new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, she talks about how AI is helping us to make an animal version（版本）of Google Translate.All around the animal kingdom,

17、 there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and translate. Elephants, for example, talk with each other using infrasound（次声波）far below our human hearing range.Coral（珊瑚）in the ocean also sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas to grow. This is surprising as coral doesnt have any ears!

18、 Scientists have placed listening equipment into these environments to pick up the sounds that humans cannot hear.After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meanings, according to the news website Vox. For example, Israeli researchers used AI to translate bats 15,000 calls. They found that mo

19、re than 60 percent were arguments about food, sleep and personal space.This technology can not only understand the animals but also communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate. Therefore, a research team in Germany put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked

20、 the robot to create a dance routine to tell the bees where the nectar（花蜜）was, Vox reported.5Elephants talk with each other by using _.AdancesBwavesCinfrasoundDarguments6How many examples are mentioned in this passage?AFour.BFive.CSix.DSeven.7Which animal sends sounds to help its babies go to safer

21、places?AA bat.BAn elephant.CA bee.DA coral.8What is the passage mainly about?AAnimals need help from human beings.BScientists use AI to help animals get used to their environments.CAI helps people better understand and communicate with animals.DScientists call on humans to protect animals.Passage 3“

22、Welcome to our new classroom!” said Chen Dong, one of the three astronauts of the Shenzhou XIV mission (神舟十四号任务).They were giving a science class 400 kilometers above Earth on Oct 12. It was the third space class from the Tiangong space station, but the first one from the Wentian lab module (实验舱) si

23、nce its launch in July. The former two classes were held in the Tianhe core module (核心舱).What does the new “classroom” look like? Chen, together with Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe, showed us around. “The beds in the Tianhe module are placed horizontally (横着), while our beds are kept upright,” said Liu. Tha

24、t means astronauts in the Wentian lab module need to sleep standing up! But as Liu explained, people dont feel any difference because theres no gravity (重力) in space. Astronauts can even sleep on the ceiling (天花板) or upside down!The astronauts also showed their “space farm”, where lettuce, wheat (小麦

25、), thale cress (拟南芥) and rice are grown. “Take a picture!” “Send the picture!” Through a voice-controlled camera, Chen already sent a picture of the thale cress to scientists on Earth. Then he used scissors to cut a sample (样本). “Ill put it into a fridge at - 80 and later give it to scientists on Ea

26、rth,” said Chen. Scientists will study how the environment of space affects the growth of plants.“Can you see the water drops coming from the leaves? This is called guttation (植物吐水现象),” said Liu, holding the well-grown rice. In space, the water drops are much bigger than those on Earth. So people ca

27、n clearly see the guttation.“We hope in the near future, we can harvest (收获) the food grown on our own,” said Chen. “Maybe one day, we can harvest food on the other planets like moon or even Mars!”9Where did the third space class take place?AIn the Shenzhou XIV.BIn the Tianhe core module.CIn the Wen

28、tian lab module.DIn the International Space Station.10How do astronauts in the Wentian module sleep?ABCD11How do scientists on Earth study the plants in the space station?ABy watching them through real-time video cameras.BBy taking and collecting pictures themselves.CBy growing the plants in space t

29、hemselves.DBy studying the samples astronauts bring back.12What was shown in the third class in the Tiangong space station?ACooking.BThe space farm.CAstronauts harvesting food.DThe surface tension of water.13What can we infer from the last paragraph?AFarmers can get crops on moons soon.BScientists w

30、ill try to grow food on moons or even Mars.CLettuce, wheat (小麦), thale cress (拟南芥) will be grown on other planets, too.D“Guttation” can be seen from leaves of rice.二、热点时文类-命题经典主题Passage 1Because of a sudden rise of COVID-19 cases in several Chinese cities, the country is making COVID-19 antigen test

31、 kits (抗原检测试剂盒) available (可获得的) for self-testing, CGTN reported. All made by local companies, the kits can be bought in stores and online.Antigen tests are used to test for COVID-19. But they work differently from the nucleic acid tests(核酸检测) that we are all familiar with. “Antigen is like the clot

32、hes of the virus, while nucleic acid is the gene (基因) of the virus,” said Zhang Wenhong, head of the infectious disease department (感染科) at Fudan Universitys Huashan Hospital.The antigen tests are beneficial (有利的) because they produce results faster, in around 15 minutes, and dont require a lab. Peo

33、ple can use them in their own homes at their convenience.But they arent as accurate (准确的). “In the early stage of infection, the amount of virus can be very low,” Zhang said. “The nucleic acid test can detect (检测) it but an antigen test cannot.”According to the National Health Commission, three cate

34、gories (类别) of people will be able to take an antigen test. They are people who have had a fever or respiratory symptoms (呼吸道症状) within five days, people undergoing centralized or home isolation (隔离), and other people who just want to take a test.People who test positive (阳性) with the antigen kits w

35、ill be treated as COVID-19 cases and must contact local authorities (当地相关部门) immediately, said the State Council. They will need to undergo centralized quarantine (隔离) and have regular(常规的) nucleic acid tests, reported China Daily.At this time, China is sticking to its zero-COVID policy. With the Om

36、icron variant (奥密克戎变异株) producing more asymptomatic (无症状的) cases, it is hoped that the introduction of antigen tests will help authorities to find infected people more rapidly, said Zhang.14Antigen test kits are available to _.Areduce test costsBspeed up testingCmake the test more comfortableDmake r

40、e a great difference in peoples life in 2020. There is an unusual way to change the bad moods caused by it. It could be seen in letters to Father Christmas arriving at a post office in Southwest France. The post office answered mails sent to the traditional Father Christmas from around the world.Jim

41、, a little boy from Taiwan, put a face mask inside the letter he sent to Father Christmas and wrote “I U”. Alina, 5, in her letter, asked Father Christmas to use the front door because the back door was only used by Grandma and Grandpa to reduce their risk of catching the new coronavirus. And 10-yea

42、r-old Lola wrote that she was wishing that her aunt never has cancer again and that there will be no virus any more. “My mother is a care-giver, so she has to take care of many patients or disabilities, and sometimes I am worried about her,” Lola explained. She ended with “take care of yourself, Fat

43、her Christmas”. Thousands of letters arrived. They showed what children were thinking about this Christmas season after a year of illness and hard lives. Young Zoe asked only for a music player and a visit to a theme park, because “this year has been very different from others because of COVID-19”.T

44、he earliest letters were opened on November 12. Then, it quickly became clear that the pandemic was worrying children. Thirty percent of the letters discussed the pandemic. “The kids have been very influenced by COVID, more than we think. They are very worried. What they want most of all is really t

55、Tai Chi performers impressed the whole world. A total of 2,008 performers stood in a large circle and moved in slow, calm and powerful motions（动作）in their white silk uniforms. Tai Chi has always been a symbol of Chinese culture and is becoming popular around the world. This ancient martial art（武术）is

56、 practiced by over 100 million people in more than 150 countries. One thing that makes Tai Chi popular is its health benefits. As you move, you breathe deeply and naturally, focusing your attentionjust as in some kinds of meditation（冥想）on your body. This helps you relax and find inner peace. What ma

57、kes Tai Chi even more interesting might be the philosophical（哲学的）ideas behind it. The term “Tai Chi” comes from Taoism, which says that inaction, the opposite of action, is the solution to problems. Thats why Tai Chi movements are slow and soft. It is not used to fight an enemyit is used to protect

He can often be found tapping out a rhythm（节奏）, singing the latest Maroon 5 jam in the hospital, and playing a guitar like the rock star he always has, and always will be!Anytime Jimmy has to come to the hospita

62、l, he meets with the music therapists first.

At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us improper ideas about how our bod

67、ies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different and thats a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self-confidence.Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, app

68、earance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research （CAR）, says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”.If you feel positive（积极的）about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even sho

69、wn that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If youre spen

70、ding a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.”Its important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other peoples bodies.

71、Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast?” She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that

72、 you are more than how you look.35The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media _ .Aare perfect for people to followBmay give wrong ideas of looksCmean everyone is differentDshow people how to behave kindly36The underlined word “agitated” probably means “_”.AworriedBsadChappyDscared37Pa

74、lead readers to build up body confidence.DTo advise readers to treat their friends well.四、环境污染与保护-永恒的主题Passage 1Climate change (气候变化) has brought a serious warning to the living areas of the Siberian crane, increasing the need to better protect the birds and their migratory channels (迁徙路径), an exper

75、t said.The Siberian crane breeds (繁殖) in northeast Siberia in Russia and flies to Poyang Lake for the winter in East Chinas Jiangxi Province. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season in Poyang.Qian Fawen, a research professor from the National Bird Banding Center of China, said that Poyangs wa

76、ter levels decide whether it is suitable for the birds to live there. However, climate change has made the levels change often. “In some years, the lake experiences floods; in others, it experiences droughts. Both of these situations create food shortages in the cranes living area,” he said.The Sibe

77、rian crane is listed as seriously endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. “We need to protect their living area, which is mainly wetland, so that we can protect them,” Qian said.In the recently announced National Action Plan for the Protection of Bird Migration Cha

78、nnels (2021-35), 1, 140 places in China were considered as important breeding grounds, wintering grounds and staying stops, including Poyang and the Yellow River wetland in Ningxia. The plan said that the government should watch and count the number of migratory birds and pay farmers for losses caus

79、ed by the birds.Since China joined the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1992, it has designated (指定) 202,600 hectares of wetland as Wetlands of International Importance. They store and clean water, keep all kinds of living things, help store floods and prevent droughts. According to a plan announced

80、 by the central government in October, by 2025, China will have protected 55 percent of its wetlands.After the Wetlands Protection Law, the nations first law to protect wetlands, was introduced on June 1, 2022, complete protection was strengthened. The law clearly explained what the government shoul

81、d do and introduced strict punishment for people who destroy wetland areas. It limits building at important national wetlands and it doesnt allow harmful activities, including using them as farmlands, leaving wastewater everywhere, harvesting and fishing too much.Key nature reserve management office

82、s in China have reported more birds wintering in the nations wetlands, including some new rare kinds. 39What can we learn from Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 4?AAbout 95 percent of the Siberian cranes spend their winter in Poyang Lake.BClimate change has little influence on the Siberian cranes living area

83、 in Poyang.CThe Siberian cranes will live in Poyang all year round if the wetland is protected.DWater levels decide that Poyang Lake isnt suitable for the Siberian cranes to live.40Which of the following behaviors is right at important wetlands?building housesmaking farmlandslimiting fishingleaving

84、wastewaterwatching birdsABCD41What does this passage mainly tell us?AThe problem the Siberian cranes face and the ways people protect wetlands.BThe reason why the Siberian cranes migrate and the place they usually stay in.CThe importance of protecting the Siberian cranes and the result it will lead

85、to.DThe loss of wetlands and the actions that have already been taken to help them.42What will the writer probably continue to write in “ ” in Paragraph 8?APeople have done something to protect wetlands.BThe number of the birds has increased in wetlands.CExperts will go on to do other research on we

86、tlands.DThe government will make more laws to protect wetlands.Passage 2In recent years, large-scale (大规模的) tree plantation programmes are a popular way to deal with the climate crisis (气候危机).These trees, they store lots of carbon dioxide from the air. They give us oxygen we breathe. And theres no d

87、oubt that the right trees in the right place is a good thing. However, large-scale tree planting is becoming a problem.Yatir forest is Israels largest forest. But the four million trees are actually having a warming effect on the planet. And the bright desert surface reflected (反射) more sunlight tha

88、n the present darker tree canopy (树冠) that replaced it. This forest is making global warming worse.What the Yatir forest warns us is that choosing the right location is very important. The wrong location can also use up groundwater and dry up streams. Choosing the right location isnt the only challe

89、nge for large-scale tree plantations. Most of the time, these tree planting programmes choose one type of trees. They are bad for biodiversity (生物多样性).Another big problem is planting the wrong type of trees. In South Africa, the introduction of new types of trees has led to covering large areas of l

90、and. The country now spends millions of pounds clearing the trees every year.So, protecting the forests would be a better use of our time and resources. We should allow space around the forests for them to naturally expand. And its the best way to get more trees on the planet. One place where planti

91、ng trees is good is in the cities. Trees help reduce noise, improve air quality, help prevent flooding, and even improve your physical and mental health.There is no one solution to the climate crisis. We have to use all the tools at hand to reduce greenhouse gases and slow down global warming.43The

94、eesDto remind people to pay much attention to their healthPassage 3Can you imagine a world without insects? Without ants or flies in your house, it might sound great. However, the results may be out of imagination. The number of insects has dropped by half in the past few years, according to a Briti

95、sh biologist Dave Coulson. You may think small insects are not important. But in fact they are the main part of the species(物种)on Earth. Insects are indeed on the way to extinction, according to the first review of insect population. The researchers say the main reason for this is the use of pestici

96、des(杀虫剂)because they destroy insects living areas. Also, weather change is another important cause. “Unless we change our ways of producing food, insects will go down the way to extinction in a few years,” the researchers wrote in the review. “This will have huge influences on the planets ecosystem(

97、生态系统).”We need insects to pollinate(授粉)crops. They also break down(分解)dead plants and animals, which can keep the soil healthy. Without insects, many animals would have nothing to eat and die of hunger. Then, the ecosystem would be off balance. “If the number of insect species keep dropping, this wi

98、ll have bad influences on both Earths ecosystem and the survival of us humans,” said one of the writers of the review. “The first step to stop this is to let more people understand the values of the natural world,” he suggests. “The best place to start is from our children, who should realize enviro

99、nmental protection from an early age.”47The underlined word “extinction” means “_”.ApollutionBdeathCharmDprotection48Paragraph 5 is mainly about _.Athe reason for producing foodBthe problem of animals and plantsCthe way to keep soil healthyDthe importance of insects49From the passage, we can know _.

108、fe. His mother had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired (退休), so he spent a lot of time alone.Several times a week, though, I would take a walk up to his house. We would sit in the living room, drink tea and talk. It wasnt anything big. We talked about sports, cars, gardening, weath

120、love.”“You see, dear, thats all she wants,” her mother said. “Love.”“Ill bring her ice cream every weekend then, and hug her even if she doesnt remember me.”Sally said.

Each year, he would take part in the state farmers fair and win a top award for his corn. The story of the farmers success reached the ears of a reporter who wanted to intervie

138、w the farmer. While he was learning about the farmers growing skills, he found that the farmer shared his best quality seeds (种子) with his neighbors. “How can you afford to share your best corn seeds with your neighbors when some of them might go to the fair as well?” the reporter asked. “Why wouldn

139、t I?” the farmer replied. “The wind picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it from field to field. If my neighbors grow poor quality corn, cross pollination (授粉) will finally degrade (降低) the quality of my corn too. If I am to grow high quality corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn too

140、.”The farmers answer made the reporter understand how aware the old farmer was about connections in life. It is the same with our lives.

He has been recognized as the oldest male to surf（冲浪）by the Guinness World Records.But maybe he will just keep surfing

144、. “I think it would be interesting to try to surf until Im 100,” Sano said. “I think I take better care of myself when I have dreams like this. Even now, I take better care of myself than I did before.”Sano said he got the idea to try surfing from a worker at his local bank. The mans skin was always

145、 dark and he did not look like a usual worker. His secret to keep healthy and energetic, he said, was surfing. So, Sano found a teacher.Sano gets out most weekends on the black-sand beach. “I dont consider myself an old man,” he said in his wet suit, board standing next to him. “I have never thought

146、 of myself as an old person. I always feel that I can still move forward. I can still do it. I can still enjoy it.”Several young students who also work with Sanos surf teacher talked about Sano.“I think age doesnt matter in surfing,” a 12-year-old surfer said.“He is so amazing,” added his younger br

147、other.“To be honest, I was surprised by his age,” said Sanos surfing teacher. “I was worried that he would get hurt. I did not know how fit he was.”Sano still works 9-to-5 at his job.

150、谐相处Passage 1You stand in a garden. A low noise reaches your ears. You see a small insect flying near your head. You turn to look, and it flies out of sight. There it is again! You move slowly. You can see yellow and black stripes on it.Is it a bee? It lands on a flower, and you take a closer look. B

151、ees fold(折叠) their wings onto their backs when they stop flying. But this insects wings reach out like a flys. Thats because it is a flya flower fly. Many flower flies look like bees. This helps keep them safe from animals that may want to eat them. Insects with yellow and black stripes usually have

152、 stingers(刺). Insect eaters, such as some birds and frogs, need to get stung only once to know that stripes mean trouble. Flower flies cant sting, but insect eaters see the stripes and leave the flies alone.Flower flies spend most of their time looking for food. Like bees, flower flies eat pollen(花粉

153、) and nectar(花蜜). This makes them easy to find in a garden full of flowers. They are helpful garden insects just like bees. Adult flower flies move pollen from one flower to another, which helps some flowers grow into fruit.Flower flies can stay in one place while flying. Most insects move forward w

154、hen they fly. But flower flies can twist their wings, much like hummingbirds do. Twisting keeps them in one place, so they can remain over flowers, leaves, or even you!75In which part of a magazine can we probably see this passage?ANature.BCulture.CFashion.DHealth.76In which way are bees and flower

155、flies different?AThe food that they eat.BThe colour of their stripes.CThe way they help garden flowers grow.DThe shape of wings when they stop flying.77What does the underlined phrase “leave the flies alone” in Paragraph 4 mean?AMake friends with the flies.BEat the flies up.CKeep away from the flies

156、.DInvite the flies in.78What might the writer of the passage agree with?APeople usually prefer bees to flower flies.BPeople sometimes mistake flower flies for bees.CPeople should stop birds eating bees and flower flies.DPeople should have beautiful gardens in their neighbourhood.Passage 2I love snak

157、es, while my mother does not. Lots of people who are afraid of snakes have never seen one. Neither has my mother. So where does the fear come from?To find out the answer, scientists put pictures with snakes, pandas, cats, flowers and many other things in front of a group of people of all ages, even

158、babies. People found snakes faster than flowers. It wasnt just snakes. They found “black faces”, another example, spiders(蜘蛛), faster than “safe” things like flowers. It seems we find things that might be dangerous to us faster. Maybe we are born to be afraid of them.Scientists also found people lea

159、rned to fear snakes faster. Why did they fear snakes? Most of them said that in their experiences, they were influenced by the scared voice and faces of those who met snakes, but wasnt bitten by snakes. After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that its dangerous, we might learn our less

160、on too late.So why is it important whether we are afraid of snakes or not? It may not matter much to us, but it is really very important to snakes. People protect animals they like, not animals they fear. Snakes may not be as cute as pandas, but theyre just of the same importance to the environment.

161、 Snakes eat insects and mice that are pests(害虫) to humans. Snakes are also food for other animals, so, when we kill snakes, were breaking the balance.How can we reduce our fears to give snakes a chance? Scientists did a study recently. Some volunteer students went on a field trip. With the help of s

162、afety tips, everyone could safely touch and hold a snake. It turns out that snakes arent so bad when you know the way to stay with them. Most people who were afraid of snakes before the field trip werent afraid afterwards. In fact, snakes even became some students favorite animal. Hmm, maybe I shoul

163、d take my mom on the next field trip.79In the writers opinion, what are “black faces”?AThings make people feel dangerous.BFaces of animals in the picture.CThings that have black faces.DFaces of people in danger.80What does the writer mean by saying “we might learn our lesson too late” in the third p

164、aragraph?AWe might never see any snakes.BWe are not in danger any longer.CWe might not fear snakes any more.DWe might already be killed by snakes.81How do the scientists help people reduce the fear of snakes?ABy teaching people skills of killing snakes.BBy driving snakes away through a field trip.CBy teaching them the right way to stay with them.DBy giving snakes a chance to show they are good.82What can we learn from scientists after reading the passage?ADont be afraid and find chances in danger.
