Here are some movies recommended to you. Notting Hill After the success of the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, writer and producer Richard Curtis captured the essence of being British in 1999’s Notting Hill. Set against the background of affluent (富足的) West London, the film became popular for its charming and funny portrayal (刻画) of a British nobody trying to impress a Hollywood star. The Full Monty This 1997 film is a Sheffield-based comedy about six unemployed men who form a group to make money for a better life. Despite its hummer, the film dives deeper into some serious issues surrounding working-class culture. The Full Monty is an uplifting film that gives an insight into the work and life of the working class in Britain. Trainspotting Danny Boyle’s 1996 comedy-drama Trainspotting is about a group of Scots in the 1980s, based on the book by Irvine Welsh. With a cast of truly great actors including Ewan MeGregor, the tale impressed the audience globally. It rapidly became a critical success. Monty Python’s Life of Brian Featuring a jam-packed cast of comedic stars, Monty Python’s Life of Brian tells the story of a young man who is in a case of mistaken identity. The film reflects the unusual and wonderful British sense of humour. As a film guaranteed to entertain, Monty Pythons Life of Brian is not to be missed by those looking for an insight into what makes the British laugh. 1. Which of the following films describes the work and life of the British working class? A. Notting Hill. B. The Full Monty. C. Trainspotting. D. Monty Python’s Life of Brian. 2. According to the text, on whose work is Trainspotting based? A. Richard Curtis. B. Ewan MeGrego. C. Danny Boyle. D. Irvine Welsh. 3. What can the audience learn about by watching Monty Python’s Life of Brian? A. Hardships of comedic stars. B. Daily lives of people in West London. C. The knowledge of British humor. D. Serious issues on working-class culture. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四不可以帮助了解英国人的生活，精神和幽默的英国电影。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题The Full Monty下的“The Full Monty is an uplifting film that gives an insight into the work and life of the working class in Britain. (The Full Monty是一部令人振奋的电影，它深入了解了英国工人阶级的工作和生活。)”可知，The Full Monty描述了英国工人阶级的工作和生活，故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题Trainspotting下的“Danny Boyle’s 1996 comedy-drama Trainspotting is about a group of Scots in the 1980s, based on the book by Irvine Welsh. (丹尼·博伊尔1996年的喜剧《Trainspotting》讲述了1980年代的一群苏格兰人的故事，改编自Irvine Welsh的书。)可知，Trainspotting是改编自Irvine Welsh，故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题Monty Python’s Life of Brian下的“The film reflects the unusual and wonderful British sense of humour. (这部电影反映了不寻常而美妙的英国幽默感)”可知，观众通过观看Monty Python’s Life of Brian可以了解到英式的幽默知识。故选C项。 B Coffee is an important part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have drunk a lot of it! Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar, you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip (小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup. In addition, takeaway coffee is not very common at all in Italy. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day. Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafés in the Italian town I’m living in. These cafés sell different kinds of mouth-watering pastries — either plain (无馅料的) or filled with cream, chocolate, etc.—as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day. Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato costs around a euro and a cappuccino about 1.50! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank. 4. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed? A. By following the time order. B. By making a comparison. C. By quoting some old sayings. D. By showing its influence. 5. Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions? A. Espresso. B. Lungo. C. Cappuccino. D. Macchiato. 6. What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy? A. Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians. B. Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees. C. Italians like to take short breaks from work for coffee. D. Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts. 7. In which part of a magazine can we read this passage? A. Technology. B. Art. C. Culture. D. History. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了意大利独特的咖啡文化，包括偏好浓缩咖啡、站着吧台快速享用、早餐搭配糕点的习惯，以及相较于英国有更实惠的价格，展现出意大利人对咖啡的喜爱与日常生活中不可或缺的地位。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar, you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip (小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup. In addition, takeaway coffee is not very common at all in Italy. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.(当然，咖啡在英国也很受欢迎，但意大利的咖啡文化完全是另一回事。在意大利，当你在咖啡馆或酒吧点咖啡时，你会得到一杯微苦的浓缩咖啡。这是意大利人的“普通咖啡”，他们对我们在英国喝的大杯咖啡不太感兴趣。在意大利，如果你想喝不止一口咖啡，lungo是一个不错的选择。这是一种浓缩咖啡，加了一点水，但仍然装在一个小杯子里。此外，外卖咖啡在意大利并不常见。一般来说，意大利人喜欢站在吧台边喝他们的小咖啡，对许多人来说，这个短暂的休息是他们一天中重要的一部分。)”可知本段通过对比意大利和英国的咖啡文化来展开论述，指出意大利人通常饮用浓缩咖啡，并且不太倾向于喝英国人常见的大杯咖啡。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar, you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. (在意大利，当你在咖啡馆或酒吧点咖啡时，你会得到一杯微苦的浓缩咖啡。这是意大利人的“普通咖啡”，他们对我们在英国喝的大杯咖啡不太感兴趣。)”可知，在意大利，如果不特别说明，点一杯咖啡默认就是浓缩咖啡（espresso）。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). 通常，意大利酒吧的早餐包括咖啡和酥皮糕点。)”可知，在意大利，早餐通常包括咖啡和酥皮糕点。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Coffee is an important part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have drunk a lot of it!(咖啡是意大利文化的重要组成部分，自从六个多月前来到这里，我喝了很多咖啡!)”并通读全文，可知本文主要讲述了意大利的咖啡文化，属于文化类话题。我们可以在杂志的“文化”部分读到这篇文章。故选C。 C Could animals from the past one day walk among us? One company is now looking to introduce extinct animals into the real world. US company Colossal Biosciences announced on Jan 31 that it would be trying to bring back to life the dodo — a large bird that was native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean. They lived there until the 17th century. “The place to reintroduce the do do into the wild would be Mauritius,” Ben Lamm, the co-founder of the company told The Guardian. A reintroduction of dodos to the ecosystem of the island, instead of just being a novelty, is thought to potentially bring benefits to the local plants and other animals that already live there. Having discovered the genetic code (基因序列) of extinct animals from their remains (遗骸), the company endeavours to change the DNA of currently living creatures to make them close to the animal of the past. The Nicobar pige on will be used as the genetic base for the dodo, according to MIT Technology Review. The company also has plans for other extinct animals. When the company first formed in 2021, it announced its plans to bring back mammoths. They believe that mammoths introduced to the Arctic regions could help tackle climate change as they turn the wet tundra into sunlight-reflecting dry grasslands, according to The New Yorker. However, some people are doubtful. According to BBC Science Focus, with a third of all bird species currently in decline, strategies to protect existing species are needed more than ever instead of focusing on animals of the past. Despite the lack of consensus (共识), it has yet to be seen if this miracle of science can actually be pulled off. A real-life Jurassic Park isn’t likely to open anytime soon. 8. According to the text, what do we know about dodos? A. They were native to the island of Mauritius. B. They died out around the 19th century. C. They will be reintroduced into Vietnam. D. They could help slow down climate change. 9. What does the underlined word “endeavours” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Seems. B. Struggles. C. Refuses. D. Warns. 10. Why do some people have doubts about Colossal Biosciences’ plans? A. Because they believe protecting existing species is more necessary. B. Because they think the plans will not work out. C. Because they believe the plans follow the nature. D. Because they think extinct animals are not important. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the reintroduction of extinct animals? A. It sounds risky. B. It’s not worthwhile. C. It will bring many benefits. D. It still has a long way to go. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了美国公司Colossal Biosciences计划利用现代生物技术复活渡渡鸟等已灭绝动物，旨在恢复生态系统平衡，其中渡渡鸟可能被重新引入毛里求斯岛，而猛犸象的复活则被认为有助于应对气候变化。然而，这一计划也引发了保护现有物种优先的争议。实际操作中，科学奇迹能否实现尚待观察。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“US company Colossal Biosciences announced on Jan 31 that it would be trying to bring back to life the dodo — a large bird that was native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean. They lived there until the 17th century.(1月31日，美国公司Colossal Biosciences宣布，他们将尝试让渡渡鸟起死回生。渡渡鸟是一种原产于印度洋毛里求斯岛的大型鸟类。他们在那里一直住到17世纪)”可知，渡渡鸟原产于毛里求斯岛。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。由第四段“Having discovered the genetic code (基因序列) of extinct animals from their remains (遗骸), the company endeavours to change the DNA of currently living creatures to make them close to the animal of the past.(该公司从灭绝动物的遗骸中发现了它们的基因序列，并endeavours改变现存生物的DNA，使它们更接近过去的动物)”可知，公司致力于改变现存生物的DNA，使它们更接近过去的动物。分析选项，A.Seems.(似乎)；B.Struggles.(奋斗，努力)；C. Refuses.(拒绝)；D. Warns.(警告)，B符合题意。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第二段“According to BBC Science Focus, with a third of all bird species currently in decline, strategies to protect existing species are needed more than ever instead of focusing on animals of the past.(据英国广播公司《科学焦点》报道，目前有三分之一的鸟类物种正在减少，因此比以往任何时候都更需要保护现有物种的策略，而不是只关注过去的动物)”可知，一些人对Colossal Biosciences的计划持怀疑态度是因为他们认为保护现有物种更为必要。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段“Despite the lack of consensus (共识), it has yet to be seen if this miracle of science can actually be pulled off. A real-life Jurassic Park isn’t likely to open anytime soon.(尽管缺乏共识，但这一科学奇迹能否真正实现还有待观察。现实版的侏罗纪公园不太可能很快开放)”可知，作者认为重现灭绝动物仍有一段长路要走。故选D。 D The Bay Area is among the most diverse places in the country, a wonderful place filled with people of every background. Each of them brings something different to the mix, and takes it from their own experience. Their stories are the focus of Status Update, an exhibition of 14 projects offered by Rian Dundon and former WIRED contributor Pete Brook. The show at SOM Arts uses personal experience to show the Bay Area’s culture. The Bay Area is a microcosm of the national melting pot, a place where people of color comprise 58 percent of the overall population and are a majority in four of the region’s five counties. San Francisco in particular is the type of place where you can’t walk down the street without hearing another language. Yet the change is not all for the better. The gap between rich and poor is widening at a frightening speed, and San Francisco is becoming less diverse as minorities escape the city for more affordable communities elsewhere in the region. Status Update reflects these changes and the challenges they bring. Joseph Rodriguez’s Faces of Foreclosure features quiet images of people like Ethel Gist, a 68-year-old woman who lost her home in the East Bay suburb of Brentwood six years ago. Photographer Sam Wolson records Oakland resident Shannon Fulcher and his efforts to provide for his daughter. And Laura Morton documents millennials hoping to make their way to the top in Silicon Valley in her series Wild West Tech. The mix of mediums, styles and subject matter within the exhibit stresses the region’s great diversity of experiences and how they shape each other. Status Update starts a conversation about how the Bay Area is changing, and what people can do to build up a more just society. “I hope more humility (谦逊) and respect for our neighbors and communities and the ways we depend on one another,” Dundon says. “We’re all out here together.” 12. What are the artworks in Status Update mainly about? A. The friendliness of the people in the Bay Area. B. Beautiful constructions of the Bay Area. C. Real people’s lives in the Bay Area. D. The technological development of the Bay Area. 13. What is happening in San Francisco? A. It is getting harder and harder for minorities to make a living. B. The population in the region has been increasing in recent years. C. The region is facing a rapid economic slowdown. D. More and more local people tend to speak the same language. 14. What does Dundon expect of visitors? A. They can know more about themselves. B. They can respect the people around them in daily life. C. They can open their heart to other people. D. They can develop an interest in diverse cultures. 15 Which of the following may be the most suitable title for the passage? A. The Bay Area’s Past, Present and Future B. The Successful Experiences in the Bay Area C. An Exhibition About the Long and Rich History of the Bay Area D. An Exhibition About the Bay Area’s Diversity and Rapid Change 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Status Update展览，通过14个艺术项目展现旧金山湾区多元文化及其变迁，反映贫富差距扩大与少数族裔迁移问题，引发对建设更公正社会的思考。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“The Bay Area is among the most diverse places in the country, a wonderful place filled with people of every background. Each of them brings something different to the mix, and takes it from their own experience.Their stories are the focus of Status Update, an exhibition of 14 projects offered by Rian Dundon and former WIRED contributor Pete Brook. The show at SOM Arts uses personal experience to show the Bay Area’s culture.(旧金山湾区是这个国家最多样化的地方之一，是一个充满了各种背景的人的美好地方。他们每个人都带来了一些不同的东西，并从他们自己的经验中汲取。他们的故事是Status Update的焦点，这是一个由Rian Dundon和前WIRED撰稿人Pete Brook提供的14个项目的展览。SOM艺术学院的展览用个人经历来展示湾区的文化)”可知，Status Update展览聚焦于人们的真实故事，通过个人经历展现了湾区的文化。Status Update的作品主要是关于旧金山湾区人们的真实生活。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“The gap between rich and poor is widening at a frightening speed, and San Francisco is becoming less diverse as minorities escape the city for more affordable communities elsewhere in the region.(贫富差距正以惊人的速度扩大，随着少数族裔逃离旧金山，搬到该地区其他更便宜的社区，旧金山的多样性正在下降)”可知，旧金山少数民族越来越难以谋生了。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Status Update starts a conversation about how the Bay Area is changing, and what people can do to build up a more just society. “I hope more humility (谦逊) and respect for our neighbors and communities and the ways we depend on one another,” Dundon says. “We’re all out here together.”(“状态更新”开启了一场关于湾区如何变化的对话，以及人们可以做些什么来建立一个更公正的社会。我希望对我们的邻居和社区以及我们彼此依赖的方式有更多的谦逊和尊重，”邓顿说。“我们都在一起。”)”可知，Dundon对游客的期望是他们可以在日常生活中尊重周围的人。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了Status Update展览，该展览通过个人故事反映了湾区文化的多样性以及面临的快速变化和挑战，尤其是关于少数族裔和经济不平等的问题。这篇文章最合适的标题是D选项（一个关于湾区的多样性和快速变化的展览）。故选D。 第二节(共5 小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。 Interesting Eating Habits From Different Countries Among one of the joys of traveling abroad is the exposure to different types of cuisines.

I’ve been saving up for the past month and plan to buy my mother the perfume (香水)she’s been wanting for so long.” Her excitement made me realize that I hadn’t prepared anything special yet. But I only had a little money left. I began to regret spending so much on snacks every day. I continued walking along the road, carefully thinking about what gift I should choose. I planned to buy something like flowers or chocolate, but now it seemed like those were way too simple. Therefore, I pushed open the door to a mall and tried to find the perfect gift. The bright lights shined the collection of various goods. I picked up a lipstick (口红)but immediately put it back after seeing its price. I could never afford that! Then I walked into another shop and saw a lovely cup. I picked it up and turned it over to see the price listed, hoping it was not too expensive. But once again, I couldn’t afford it even with all the money that I had. Feeling sad, I continued to wander around the shops. Time flew by quickly, and before I knew it, the sky began to darken, so I had to go home. Since there was no time or money for me to pick out a gift, I decided to make a simple card. I held up the card, examining its hardcover, handwritten letter and the tiny pictures I’d drawn of my mom and me. It’s probably never going to compare to the expensive gifts that my friends bought for their mothers, I thought sadly. 注意：1. 续写词数应为120左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon, morning came, and it was time to give my mother my handmade card. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I love this card!” My mother said excitedly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Soon, morning came, and it was time to give my mother my handmade card. I prepared myself to see the disappointment on my mother’s face as I went into the kitchen. My mother was already preparing Sunday breakfast for the family. “Hey, Mom,” I said and walked over to her. She put down the plate and turned around. I took out the card shyly and said, “Happy Mother’s Day!” “I love this card!” My mother said excitedly. I was surprised to see how much she liked the simple card. “But it’s not expensive or special,” I said. “This is the most special gift ever. Thank you so much for your effort,” my mother said gently. These words encouraged me. I told my mother my worries. She told me that the price doesn’t matter at all and that what truly counts is the thoughtfulness and love behind the gift. I finally broke into a smile, realizing the true value of my card. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者打算送给妈妈一件母亲节的礼物，起初想买一款香水，但是钱不够了，打算买鲜花或者巧克力，又觉得太简单了，后来又想着买口红或者杯子，最终因为太贵放弃了，最终作者决定自己做一张亲情贺卡送给妈妈，但又怕妈妈觉得太不值钱会不喜欢，所以在送礼物时非常忐忑，结果妈妈非常高兴，这让作者明白了价格根本不重要，真正重要的是礼物背后的体贴和爱。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“很快，早晨到了，是时候把我亲手制作的贺卡送给妈妈了。”可知，第一段可描写作者送给妈妈贺卡之前时的忐忑。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘我喜欢这张卡片！’妈妈兴奋地说。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈看到作者亲手做的贺卡时的喜欢以及妈妈的解释和我明白的道理。 2. 续写线索：我的忐忑——厨房里妈妈的忙碌——送礼物——妈妈的惊讶与开心——我的不解——妈妈的解释——我的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①走进：go into/enter ②放下：put down/lay down ③激励：encourage/motivate/inspire 情绪类 ①羞怯地：shyly/ timidly ②吃惊的：surprised/amazed/shocked 【点睛】【高分句型1】I prepared myself to see the disappointment on my mother’s face as I went into the kitchen.

Here are some movies recommended to you. Notting Hill After the success of the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, writer and producer Richard Curtis captured the essence of being British in 1999’s Notting Hill. Set against the background of affluent (富足的) West London, the film became popular for its charming and funny portrayal (刻画) of a British nobody trying to impress a Hollywood star. The Full Monty This 1997 film is a Sheffield-based comedy about six unemployed men who form a group to make money for a better life. Despite its hummer, the film dives deeper into some serious issues surrounding working-class culture. The Full Monty is an uplifting film that gives an insight into the work and life of the working class in Britain. Trainspotting Danny Boyle’s 1996 comedy-drama Trainspotting is about a group of Scots in the 1980s, based on the book by Irvine Welsh. With a cast of truly great actors including Ewan MeGregor, the tale impressed the audience globally. It rapidly became a critical success. Monty Python’s Life of Brian Featuring a jam-packed cast of comedic stars, Monty Python’s Life of Brian tells the story of a young man who is in a case of mistaken identity. The film reflects the unusual and wonderful British sense of humour. As a film guaranteed to entertain, Monty Pythons Life of Brian is not to be missed by those looking for an insight into what makes the British laugh. 1. Which of the following films describes the work and life of the British working class? A. Notting Hill. B. The Full Monty. C Trainspotting. D. Monty Python’s Life of Brian. 2. According to the text, on whose work is Trainspotting based? A. Richard Curtis. B. Ewan MeGrego. C. Danny Boyle. D. Irvine Welsh. 3. What can the audience learn about by watching Monty Python’s Life of Brian? A. Hardships of comedic stars. B. Daily lives of people in West London. C. The knowledge of British humor. D. Serious issues on working-class culture. B Coffee is an important part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have drunk a lot of it! Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar, you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip (小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup. In addition, takeaway coffee is not very common at all in Italy. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day. Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafés in the Italian town I’m living in. These cafés sell different kinds of mouth-watering pastries — either plain (无馅料的) or filled with cream, chocolate, etc.—as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day. Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato costs around a euro and a cappuccino about 1.50! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank. 4. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed? A. By following the time order. B. By making a comparison. C. By quoting some old sayings. D. By showing its influence. 5. Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions? A. Espresso. B. Lungo. C. Cappuccino. D. Macchiato. 6. What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy? A. Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians. B. Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees. C. Italians like to take short breaks from work for coffee. D. Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts. 7. In which part of a magazine can we read this passage? A. Technology. B. Art. C. Culture. D. History. C Could animals from the past one day walk among us? One company is now looking to introduce extinct animals into the real world. US company Colossal Biosciences announced on Jan 31 that it would be trying to bring back to life the dodo — a large bird that was native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean They lived there until the 17th century. “The place to reintroduce the do do into the wild would be Mauritius,” Ben Lamm, the co-founder of the company told The Guardian. A reintroduction of dodos to the ecosystem of the island, instead of just being a novelty, is thought to potentially bring benefits to the local plants and other animals that already live there. Having discovered the genetic code (基因序列) of extinct animals from their remains (遗骸), the company endeavours to change the DNA of currently living creatures to make them close to the animal of the past. The Nicobar pige on will be used as the genetic base for the dodo, according to MIT Technology Review. The company also has plans for other extinct animals. When the company first formed in 2021, it announced its plans to bring back mammoths. They believe that mammoths introduced to the Arctic regions could help tackle climate change as they turn the wet tundra into sunlight-reflecting dry grasslands, according to The New Yorker. However, some people are doubtful. According to BBC Science Focus, with a third of all bird species currently in decline, strategies to protect existing species are needed more than ever instead of focusing on animals of the past. Despite the lack of consensus (共识), it has yet to be seen if this miracle of science can actually be pulled off. A real-life Jurassic Park isn’t likely to open anytime soon. 8. According to the text, what do we know about dodos? A. They were native to the island of Mauritius. B They died out around the 19th century. C. They will be reintroduced into Vietnam. D. They could help slow down climate change. 9. What does the underlined word “endeavours” mean in Paragraph 4? A Seems. B. Struggles. C. Refuses. D. Warns. 10. Why do some people have doubts about Colossal Biosciences’ plans? A. Because they believe protecting existing species is more necessary. B. Because they think the plans will not work out. C. Because they believe the plans follow the nature. D. Because they think extinct animals are not important. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the reintroduction of extinct animals? A. It sounds risky. B. It’s not worthwhile. C. It will bring many benefits. D. It still has a long way to go. D The Bay Area is among the most diverse places in the country, a wonderful place filled with people of every background. Each of them brings something different to the mix, and takes it from their own experience. Their stories are the focus of Status Update, an exhibition of 14 projects offered by Rian Dundon and former WIRED contributor Pete Brook. The show at SOM Arts uses personal experience to show the Bay Area’s culture. The Bay Area is a microcosm of the national melting pot, a place where people of color comprise 58 percent of the overall population and are a majority in four of the region’s five counties. San Francisco in particular is the type of place where you can’t walk down the street without hearing another language. Yet the change is not all for the better. The gap between rich and poor is widening at a frightening speed, and San Francisco is becoming less diverse as minorities escape the city for more affordable communities elsewhere in the region. Status Update reflects these changes and the challenges they bring. Joseph Rodriguez’s Faces of Foreclosure features quiet images of people like Ethel Gist, a 68-year-old woman who lost her home in the East Bay suburb of Brentwood six years ago.

I’ve been saving up for the past month and plan to buy my mother the perfume (香水)she’s been wanting for so long.” Her excitement made me realize that I hadn’t prepared anything special yet. But I only had a little money left. I began to regret spending so much on snacks every day. I continued walking along the road, carefully thinking about what gift I should choose. I planned to buy something like flowers or chocolate, but now it seemed like those were way too simple. Therefore, I pushed open the door to a mall and tried to find the perfect gift. The bright lights shined the collection of various goods. I picked up a lipstick (口红)but immediately put it back after seeing its price. I could never afford that! Then I walked into another shop and saw a lovely cup. I picked it up and turned it over to see the price listed, hoping it was not too expensive. But once again, I couldn’t afford it even with all the money that I had. Feeling sad, I continued to wander around the shops. Time flew by quickly, and before I knew it, the sky began to darken, so I had to go home. Since there was no time or money for me to pick out a gift, I decided to make a simple card. I held up the card, examining its hardcover, handwritten letter and the tiny pictures I’d drawn of my mom and me. It’s probably never going to compare to the expensive gifts that my friends bought for their mothers, I thought sadly. 注意：1. 续写词数应为120左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon, morning came, and it was time to give my mother my handmade card. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I love this card!” My mother said excitedly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1.
