Rocky coves The southwest's rocky covesre rich with seaweed,revealing a little-known piece of rish history."In the past people couldn't eat meat so they would go down around these shores and get laver,or sleabhac, as it's high in protein,"says Kerryann O'Farrell of Atlantic Irish Seaweed,whose guides lead educational sea vegetable walks at Derrynane Harbour. C⑤扫描全能王 Cape Clear Island Located eight miles off the southern coast,Cape Clear Island(Oilean Chleire)is one of Irish-speaking Gaeltacht ageas,which can be found in seven counties and on some islands.On Cape,the former girls school now houses the Heritage Centre with exhibits on the island's maritime history and culture.Don't miss the goat milk ice cream at local favorite Cleire Goats.

That rejection became a motivation for creation.I thought it'd be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,"says Nalin,now 15.With the support of his parents,in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery,which is now profitable enough to make ends CS扫描全能王 meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work.In turn,Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long atter opening,David Griffin,a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin.Griffin regards him as someone special:a strong young artist with a really excellent idea---creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people.It-was a void()in the art world."There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition.The first juried show was last spring,and five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. As Nalin was busy with school,life and his own art,Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he's still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year.24. 24.What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs?

There are no caregivers in sight.Instead,the residents look after one another at the self-service nursing facility,which was rebuilt from a deserted primary school in Madongchuan township.The younger ones grow vegetables in a small path of land nearby.They cook outdoors using a shared kitchen,and the food is delivered to those with mobility issues.After meals,many play chess or chat at their leisure.Local authorities also hired a retired village doctor to oversee the facility so that the residents no longer have to go to the hospital for less severe health problems such as cold and fever. "They were enjoying themselves in the moment,and leading rather independent lives,"Zhao Liwen, secretary-general of Taikang icai Foundation,said of her first impression about the residents during a CS扫描全能王 visit in 2019.The Beijing-based charity offered help by donating I million yuan to the nursing home. When she arrived,the seniors,all empty-nesters who are either childless or have children working in big cities,were wrapping dumplings together. The scene was a sharp contrast from life in the area more than a decade ago.Village elders used to live lonely lives,scattered()among the remote area and unable to access hospitals and other public services.Then in 2013,a flood washed their homes away,forcing them to move into the nursing facility. The nursing home in Yan'an is one of the best examples of China's increasing efforts to take advantage of the strength of relationship-based communities"in rural areas to ensure fast-graying residents are cared for.Compared with a more commercial or rule -based society in cities,rural communities in China are known to operate through personal connections and mutual trust.The self- sufficient,interdependent culture displayed by the nursing home is being suppored by authorities to deal with aging in the countryside. 28.What do the elderly residents eo in the nursing facilit? A.They use their separate kitchens. B.They enjoy their leisure activities C.They share advanced medical services. D.They employ caregivers to look after them. 29.What approach does the nursing home in Yan'an take to deal with the rural aging? A.Following strict regulations. B.Developing mutual cooperation C.Conducting commercial strategies. D.Promoting individual independence. 30.What is the author's attitude to the self-service nursing home? AObjective. B.Indifferent.C.Favorable D.Disapproving. 31.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A Rural Revival:China's Approach to Aging Population B.Promoting traditional values:A Tale ofAging in Rural China C.Bridging Generation Gaps:The Story of Yan'an's Nursing Home D.Relationship-Based Community:A Nursing Home in Rural China D Here's a quick quiz.Person A does a favor for you.Person B asks you to do a favor for him.Who do you tend to like more?Surprisingly,the answer is Person B,This quirk (of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect. Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly.A powerful member didn't care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do?Instead of winning him over with sweet talk,Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and CS扫描全能王 valuable book the man owned.This request altered the man's attitude and paved the way for their friendship.Franklin's takeaway:"He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged." Several studies have confirmed this.But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect?Some psychologistsrefetive dissonance().Its difficuto hold wo cotradictory thoughts atthe same time.It makes us uncomfortable.We resolve this tension by changing our mind."I don't like Joe,but I am doing him a favor,"we might think."So maybe I do like him." While cognitive dissonance explains a lot,it alone doesn't explain the Ben Franklin Effect.One 2015 study found that it was,rather,the affiliative motive that the requests convey.That is,we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans,and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for othern This explains a lot about altruistic behavior.We like being useful and,by extension,we like those who give us the opportunity to do so.It's in our genes. Yet there is much we still don't know about the Ben Franklin Effect.Does it apply equally across cultures?Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less,not more likable?Asking to borrow a book is one thing:asking to borrow a car is another. 28.Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin's experience? A.To illustrate a dilemma in making cholces. B.To suggest a way of striking up friendships. C.To stress the importance of strategic requests. D.To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect. What is a reason for people's tendency to like those asking for favors? A.Reducing the tension caused by social contact. B.Increasing the chance of getting help in retur. C.Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts. D.Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust. What does the underlined word "altruistio"probably mean in paragraph 4? A.Selfless. B.Impolite. C.Aggressive. D.Responsible. 39.What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect? A.It makes little sense. B.It applies to most cultures. C.It has situational limitations. D.It has groat practical significance. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分125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。 Why are Police Ofticers Called Cops? Pollce officers are often referred to as cops.6Some argue the term is shortened from"copper" and comes from copper badges (worn by a policeman.Others say that it stands for "Constabular C5扫描全能王 of Police”, General agreement on the word origins of "cop",however,suggests that the term is based more on the policeman's job than on his clothing or job title.In Latin,the verb capere can be defined as "to capture."In French,the verb is caper."To cop"in English is to seize or to take.37 Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen,which also loosely translates to "to steal or take",is related to policemen being ealled coppers or cops.Essentially,the police force was there to take criminals off the streets.And since American English especially draws from German,French, and Lati the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term"cop". 39'And it is no longer considered rude.However,certain other terms-for-police officers are definitely unwelcome.While British Police might not mind being called "bobbies",no police members like to be referred to as "pigs"or the"fuzz".Some don't mind the term the"heat"as applied to the wholc police-force,but the police force does not generally take kindly to terms given to them by criminals. The term"cop"is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops.Even though J.Edgar Hooveponce highly objected to.the term,it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a policewoman as a cop.40 A.The term is slightly tess familiar to people B So the Iatin,Dutch,and French terms are all similar. C These words define some of what a police otficex does. D.The profession of a police office was not respected then. E.But the origins of this nickname are comething of a debate. F However,the term "police officer"is generally most correct. G.Today it is appropriate to call members of the police totce cops 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选 项。 Here I was,sitting in the roller coaster (cart of Kingda Ka in New Jersey,the tallest and second fastest roller coaster on Earth.My friends shouted in excitement,while I shakily 41my hands on my shorts."How can you be so excited when..."

After my first voice crack experience,I was determined to make sure it wouldn't t happen again.At least not in public.So,except for strategic times I said,"cool"and "yeah",I didn't talk.My logic was, "If I don't use my voice,it cannot crack.However,I couldn't t go without talking forever.I needed a new solution.
