As a primitive form of Chinese characters and the oldest fully developed characters in China, Jiaguwen, or oracle bone inscriptions (刻写的文字)，were first discovered in 1899 and named for their inscriptions on tortoise shells and animal bones. Drawn to the ancient language, Sears often went back and forth between China and the US.In 1994, he made a decision to make the ancient Chinese characters available online.Taking advantage of his professional skill, Sears started programming and building a database of oracle bone inscriptions on his own.It took him seven years just to scan the characters in ancient Chinese books. In 2002, the Jiaguwen enthusiast's website was launched, though with only a few page views per day in the beginning.However, it surged to 600，000 per day in 2011 after a blogger recommended the site on Chinese social media platform Weibo.“I became a web celebrity overnight and was given a nickname ‘Uncle Hanzi’”， Sears said with a smile.“Hanzi means Chinese characters.” During the past 26 years, he has accumulated a great deal of information on his website—more than 96，000 ancient Chinese character forms from archeological sources.Up till now, the website has been continuously updated, giving lovers of the ancient language from all over the world free access to a browse in their free time.In order to reveal the mystery behind the ancient characters, he spent a great deal of money and time buying and going through dozens of books, living on very little money. Since last year, Sears has been working with a Chinese technology company on a smartphone application for children to learn about how the characters evolved (逐渐演变).The app is expected to be launched soon.

Recently, a team of researchers has discovered a new and more effective way to use this light on land for human enjoyment and advancement.By combining bioluminescent mushroom DNA with tobacco plants, the plants could begin sending out renewable light which is ten times stronger than what was previously known. Researchers also found the health of the plants isn't affected by the mushroom DNA.In fact, various parts of the plant are illuminated including the roots, stems, leaves, and even the flowers.And the younger plants glow more strongly than the older ones. Besides, there is no need for chemicals to keep a steady flow of light to the plant; unlike fireflies, mushrooms glow throughout their lifetime.“We think that this represents a new wave of bioluminescence­based technologies that rely on self­sustained luminescence，” explained Karen Sarkisyan, lead author of the study. The researchers were also excited to discover that by involving light inside plants they could see patterns and behaviors of plant life that are typically hidden from the human eye. Beyond creating glowing bushes, learning about plant biology, and creating sustainable (可持续的) lighting, we can use bioluminescence to help us realize the workings of the human body as well. “In terms of healthcare, this means that we could have animal disease models where bioluminescence would report physiological (生理的) changes that can be monitored in real time non­invasively (无创地)，”explains Sarkisyan.“Scientists are not only dreaming of the day when bioluminescence can help understand illness; they are already discovering ways this plant technology can assist with medical applications.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。研究人员发现，将生物发光蘑菇的基因移入烟草植物，可使烟草植物发出比海洋生物发光体强十几倍的光。 8．What can we know about the new bioluminescent plant? A．It is set to replace light bulbs soon. B．It sends out stronger light as it grows. C.It possesses bioluminescent mushroom DNA. D.It produces light twice as strong as sea creatures. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“By combining bioluminescent mushroom DNA with tobacco plants”可知，这种新的生物发光植物具有生物发光蘑菇的基因。 答案　C 9．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “illuminated” in paragraph 3? A．Lit. B．Applied. C．Colored. D．Transformed. 解析　词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“begin sending out renewable light”及第三段中的“And the younger plants glow”可推断，illuminated意为“照亮”。此处指这种植物的各部分都会被照亮，包括根、茎、枝叶等。 答案　A 10．What is typical of bioluminescent mushrooms? A．They need additional chemicals to keep their light stable. B．They produce light as long as they are alive. C．They send out light similar to fireflies. D．They reflect light from other objects. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“unlike fireflies, mushrooms glow throughout their lifetime”可知，生物发光蘑菇只要活着就会发光。 答案　B 11．How does bioluminescence assist us in the field of healthcare? A．By describing the inner structure of animal disease models. B．By providing us with sustainable light during operations. C．By detecting our physiological changes from outside. D．By helping us treat certain illnesses. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“bioluminescence would report physiological (生理的) changes that can be monitored in real time non­invasively (无创地)”可知，生物发光技术可以从外部监控人体的生理变化。 答案　C D (2023·全国乙卷)If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity's later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things. Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can't. The clearest example of this between literate and non­literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook's voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain's record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports. In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non­literate societies such as these, all our first­hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation　， we have to read not just the texts, but the objects. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。对于历史事件的考证不能仅凭文字记录，要注重文字记录和实物相互印证，以帮助我们重现真实的历史。 12．What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．How past events should be presented. B．What humanity is concerned about. C．Whether facts speak louder than words. D．Why written language is reliable. 解析　主旨大意题。题干问的是首段的主旨。根据文章首段可知，如果你想讲述不偏袒人类历史上任何一方的一段世界历史，你就不能仅依靠文字。文字是人类的后期成果之一，直到最近甚至许多有文字的社会不仅用文字，还用实物来记载他们的重要的事情。所以此段是说过去的历史事件应结合文字和实物来呈现，不能仅靠文字，故A项正确。 答案　A 13．What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2? A．His report was scientific. B．He represented the local people. C．He ruled over Botany Bay. D．His record was one­sided. 解析　D　推理判断题。题干问的是作者提及库克船长的用意。根据第二段首句“Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects...but in many cases we simply can't”(理想的情况是我们在研究历史时应该将文字和实物结合起来……而很多情况下我们没能这样做)以及该段最后一句“If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day，the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports”(如果我们想要还原那天到底发生了什么，这块盾牌必须和文字记述一样经过深入而严格的质询和诠释)可知，库克船长的记录是片面的，故D项正确。 答案　D 14．What does the underlined word “conversation” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Problem. B．History. C．Voice. D．Society. 解析　词义猜测题。题干问的是画线词conversation在文中的意思。根据第三段中的“a history told through things gives them back a voice”(实物能还原历史事实)和“all our first­hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects”(我们所有的第一手描述无法避免地会被歪曲，它只是对话的一半。如果我们想找到另一半，就必不能只解读文字，还要解读实物)可知，conversation指的是历史，故B项正确。 答案　B 15．Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from? A．How Maps Tell Stories of the World B．A Short History of Australia C．A History of the World in 100 Objects D．How Art Works Tell Stories 解析　文章出处题。题干问的是本文最有可能摘自哪本书。根据本篇答案解析“段意梳理”部分可知，本文讲述的重点是强调历史实物考证的重要性，故C项“《100件实物中的世界历史》”正确。 答案　C 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Chong Yang Festival is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. 16 ． Climbing Mountains People like to climb mountains on this festival, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called the “Mountain­climbing Festival”． The 9th lunar month, with clear autumn sky and bracing air, is a good time for sightseeing. 17 ．It is really refreshing to climb mountains and enjoy the beauty of nature at this bright and clear time in autumn. Climbing mountains also indicates “climbing to a higher position”．Another reason why climbing mountains is valued by people, especially by the elderly is that it has a meaning of “longevity”．Climbing mountains on the Double Ninth Festival was already popular in the Tang Dynasty. 18 ． Drinking Chrysanthemum Flower(菊花) Wine The chrysanthemum flower wine is unique in brewing.In ancient times, people usually picked fresh chrysanthemum flowers and leaves on the 9th of the 9th lunar month, and brewed the mixture of them and grains into the wine. 19 ．The wine is said to have wholesome effects on sharpness of the eye, reduction of high blood pressure and weight and removal of stomach trouble, thus contributing to longevity. 20 The Double Ninth cake is also known as the “flower cake”．It dates from the Zhou Dynasty.It is said that the cake was originally prepared after autumn harvests for farmers to have a taste of what was just in season, and it gradually grew into the present cake for people to eat on the Double Ninth Festival. A．Eating the Double Ninth Cake B．Making the “flower cake” with friends C．A lot of poems were devoted to this custom D．It would not be drunk until the same day next year E．So people love to go sightseeing during this month F．Here are some traditional customs of the Double Ninth Festival G．But few Chinese people are aware of the importance of the festival [语篇解读]　本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的重阳节。 16．解析　根据上句可知文章介绍的是重阳节，下面是介绍重阳节的一些传统习俗，故F项符合文意。 答案　F 17．解析　上句提到农历九月，秋高气爽，是观光的好时节， E选项表示“所以人们喜欢这个月去观光”，顺承上句。另外，上句和E选项都提到了sightseeing，故选E。 答案　E 18．解析　上句提到，重阳节登山在唐朝就已经流行了，由此可知，空处要说到流行的证据，也就是很多诗都是关于这一习俗的，故选C。 答案　C 19．解析　上句介绍了菊花酒的酿造，D项表示“要到来年的这一天，才拿出来喝”符合语境，故选D。 答案　D 20．解析　根据下文“The Double Ninth cake is also known as the ‘flower cake’”．对重阳糕的介绍可知这一部分主要介绍了吃重阳糕，故选A。 答案　A 第二部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Today I'm a member of the UN Global Education First Initiative Youth Advocacy Group.It started when I was in secondary school.I 21 a UNESCO club, a platform that brings students together to discuss school 22 and the pressing things concerning them.

But learning that we'll be randomly paired to do the oral practice, I feel an urge to express my different voice, hoping that this wouldn't offend you. To begin with, it couldn't be better if students with mixed levels of English could be grouped together deliberately rather than at random, so that we can help each other during our practice. Additionally, to ensure that our oral practice goes smoothly, I suggest that you put three to four students together, with one as the group leader, in which case we can communicate with each other at a great depth. Should it be possible, I truly hope you can take my suggestions into consideration. 　Yours sincerely　， 　Li Hua　 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面的材料，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。 I was in the 7th grade and was the tops of my class.Friends surrounded me everywhere and I was the star of the school.My parents started creating special spaces at home to display all my medals，certificates and awards.Guests who came home，teachers who met my parents，friends and everyone who met my parents always had these words to say，“You have a very talented child.You are very lucky.”I was filled with happiness and pride when I heard these words and I knew that I had made my parents very happy. Days rolled by，and I grew stronger and smarter and I was unbeatable in any field.Things were fine until one day.I came back home with an award I won for standing first in the running race at school.Filled with pride，I gave it to my mother and waited for her beautiful smile.She smiled，congratulated me and asked，“Did your friends participate in the race？Did they run the race with you？What were their positions in the race？”I was a little angry.I have won first place.Why would my mother want to know about my friends？In fact，I did not even remember who was second and third or who participated because I was focused to be the first and the other positions were of no significance to me.I managed to tell her that I was very tired and I did not remember everything. Afterwards I started noticing a change in my mother，especially her smile.It was not the same lovely smile that I used to see.She regularly asked about my friends who were low achievers and who I did not even consider my equals.I did not even know where they sat in my classroom.I was meant to be the first and I did not want to look back to see who was behind.I started ignoring her questions about my friends and I managed to change topic. One day，when I was getting ready for the sports competition，she asked why I was not practicing with my friends. 注意：　续写的词数应为150左右。 It was too much to handle. I was on the sports field the next day ready to run the 200m running race. One possible version： It was too much to handle. I responded that I was meant to be the first and that I had no business to be with friends who weren't ambitious.My mother patiently replied that in the name of success I became like a horse with blinds that focuses only on what is in front and doesn't bother about what is around.I forgot to enjoy the simple things in life such as spending time with friends, helping them with difficulties and learning together.Having realized my mistake, I decided to change. I was on the sports field the next day ready to run the 200m running race.The race began and in no time, I took the lead.Suddenly, I heard my friend fall to the ground.Without a second thought I ran to him, held up him and helped him finish the race.I helped my friend to sit down and relax.While doing so, out of the corner of my eye I saw there was someone who was looking at me.It was my mother.Her eyes were filled with tears and there I saw what I have not seen for long. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
