Sports officials who can keep the games fair are needed everywhere. Some on-the-job training is required, along with perhaps more than a little patience for fans and players. Physician assistant Average hourly wage: $57.43 Physician assistant is another health care role that has more responsibilities than a nurse but less than a doctor.

These jobs require a master’s degree along with required certificates. Project management specialist Average hourly wage: $53.32 If you have experience helping others turn their great ideas into finished products, this could be the right role for you. A project management specialist needs a bachelor degree, but doesn’t have to follow a fixed working time. Teacher Average hourly wage: $33.43 Teaching has long been a popular job for older adults, whether they’ve been doing it for years or they choose it as a second career. While most public schools do require teachers to have a degree in education, many private schools are willing to hire teachers who come from other professions. 26.

(项目管理专家需要学士学位，但不必遵循固定的工作时间)”可知，项目管理专家不必遵循固定的工作时间，因此适合那些喜欢灵活时间表的人。故选D项。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是标题“The Most Trending Professions in 2023 (2023年最流行的职业)”可知，文章介绍了四个2023年最流行的职业的情况，主要包括其薪资、工作内容和职业要求等信息。由此推知，文章的目标受众应该是求职者。故选A项。 B Last month, I moved abroad for two years to study, taking just a single suitcase with me.I couldn’t afford to keep my former flat, so when it came to my possessions , extreme measures were called for. Some of my stuff, like books, I could give them away. But there was a list of things like precious paintings and my childhood teddy bear that I couldn’t bring myself to let go. So I decided to offer these things up for long-term loan. It’s not recycling. I’m calling it “share-cycling”. I made the decision as I imagined someone I loved putting my tent onto their back and setting off into the countryside in the summer sunshine. This made it feel as though I would still, in some way, be with my friends. And once I’d come up with the idea, it just grew and grew. I decided to give away everything I owned! To get rid of all, I invited everyone I knew to take my belongings. When the people first came round, they all sat around drinking tea and glancing at the cupboards. I was beginning to wonder why I had asked them to go through my stuff and take what they wanted. But soon I became like a sales assistant. I recommended novels, waved toys at babies, and brought out clothes for people to try on. Now I am sitting in a flat on the other side of the world. I feel very far from my home, and from my stuff. That list I made of the things I want back? I’m not sure how much I’ll need it. So far, I haven’t missed any of my pictures, or those memorable things. Instead, I’ve missed my family, my friends, and my city. My “share-cycling” plan ties me back to them. A friend took my tent to a music festival. And my favourite picture ended up on the wall of my best friend’s flat. This is what gives me a-real-buzz: the thought of all my bits and pieces in my friends’ lives, a physical reminder of our ties. It’s like I’ve pressed “pause” on my city life rather than “stop”, making the move easier. 29. Why did the author decide to give away her belongings to others? A. She owned many precious things. B. She would study abroad for many years. C. She was unable to keep all of them in her flat. D. She believed they were useful to people she loved. 30. How did the author feel the moment people came to take her belongings? A. Regretful. B. Cheerful. C. Worried. D. Satisfied. 31. What do the underlined words “a real buzz” mean in paragraph 4? A. A helpful reminder of the past. B. A strong feeling of excitement. C. A sudden memory of an old friend. D. An interesting experience of the move 32. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The author was surprised at the change of her life. B. The author missed her belongings more than expected. C. It would be worthwhile for the author to get her things back. D. The shared stuff helped to maintain the connection between people. 【答案】29. C 30. A 31. B 32. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因为无法负担以前的公寓，选择把自己的物品借给朋友们，即“共享循环”。作者的这一举动加强了和朋友的联系。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I couldn’t afford to keep my former flat, so when it came to my possessions , extreme measures were called for. (我负担不起我以前的公寓，所以当涉及到我的财产时，我需要采取极端措施)”可知，作者决定把她的财产送给别人是因为她无法把它们都放在她的公寓里。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I was beginning to wonder why I had asked them to go through my stuff and take what they wanted. (我开始怀疑自己为什么要让他们翻我的东西，拿走他们想要的东西)”可推知，当人们来拿她的东西时，作者感觉后悔。故选A。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the thought of all my bits and pieces in my friends’ lives, a physical reminder of our ties. (一想到我朋友生活中的点点滴滴，就会想起我们之间的联系。)”可知，作者的物品出现在朋友生活中，这些东西提醒了他们之间的联系，作者对此感到兴奋。故划线词意思是“强烈的兴奋感”。故选B。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“My “share-cycling” plan ties me back to them. A friend took my tent to a music festival. And my favourite picture ended up on the wall of my best friend’s flat. This is what gives me a-real-buzz: the thought of all my bits and pieces in my friends’ lives, a physical reminder of our ties. (我的“共享循环”计划将我与他们联系在一起。一个朋友带着我的帐篷去参加音乐节。我最喜欢的照片挂在了我最好朋友公寓的墙上。一想到我朋友生活中的点点滴滴，我们之间的联系就会让我兴奋不已)”可知，共享的东西有助于保持人与人之间的联系。故选D。 C As we all know, trees are always stationary: they stay more or less where you plant them, and no one worries about finding a tree wandering around a park or back yard. However, there is one special exception, some say: the so-called walking palm tree (棕桐树) was found in the rainforests of Central and South America. Many people believe it can really walk around. This is because of its unusual root system: while most trees have one trunk, the palm breaks into many smaller roots a few feet off the ground, giving it the appearance of many little legs. The amazing walking ability of the palm tree has always been told by rainforest guides to tourists for years, and appears in many sources of documents as an amazing plant adaptation. As journalist Sherry Seethaler writes in her book Curious Folks Ask 2: “Screen writers searching for the perfect B-movie (小成本电影) plant hero could take inspiration from the walking palm. The tree slowly walks from shade to sunlight by growing new roots toward the light.” A tree that walks in search of the sun is a fascinating, strange story. And it’s not true either; the tree is real enough, but it doesn’t walk. It sits where it began to grow, not moving except under the force of wind or an axe. Biologist Gerardo Avalos is one of the world’s top experts on the palm tree. His analysis of the plant and its roots shows that the walking tree can’t walk because its roots don’t move. A few roots on one side or another may die off, but the trunk itself remains, well, rooted to the spot. “My paper proves that the belief of the walking palm is just a myth,” Avalos said. “Thinking that a palm tree could actually track the sunlight changes by moving slowly over the forest floor… is a myth that tourist guides find amusing to tell visitors to the rainforest.” 33 What is the reason for no worries about wandering trees? A. Trees are not always standing. B. Trees are not always moving. C. Trees are not always growing. D. Trees are not always dying. 34. Why do people think the palm tree can walk around? A. It has no roots underground. B. It appears to have several trunks. C. It grows a few feet off the ground. D. It appears to have many little legs. 35. What can we learn about the palm tree from the passage? A. It wanders around the rainforest at night. B. It grows in Central and North America. C. It is a popular attraction among visitors. D. It grows well in the shade of the rainforests. 36. What does biologist Gerardo Avalos believe? A. The palm tree cannot actually walk at all. B. The palm tree can move its roots. C. The palm tree can track the sunlight. D. The palm tree cannot keep its trunk growing. 【答案】33. B 34. D 35. C 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了许多人都相信中美洲和南美洲的热带雨林中的棕榈树会行走，而相关研究发现这些树实际上并不能行走。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“And it’s not true either; the tree is real enough, but it doesn’t walk. It sits where it began to grow, not moving except under the force of wind or an axe.”（这也不是真的；这棵树是真的，但它不会走路。它待在它开始生长的地方，除非受到风或斧头的作用，否则它不会移动。）可知，不必担心行走的树的原因在于树并不总是在移动。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many people believe it can really walk around. This is because of its unusual root system: while most trees have one trunk, the palm breaks into many smaller roots a few feet off the ground, giving it the appearance of many little legs.”（许多人认为它真的可以到处走。这是因为它不寻常的根系：虽然大多数树木只有一个树干，但棕榈树在离地几英尺的地方分裂出许多小根，使它看起来像许多小腿。）可知，因为棕榈树看起来有很多小腿，所以人们认为棕榈树可以到处走动。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The amazing walking ability of the palm tree has always been told by rainforest guides to tourists for years”（多年来，雨林导游总是向游客讲述棕榈树惊人的行走能力）和最后一段中“Thinking that a palm tree could actually track the sunlight changes by moving slowly over the forest floor… is a myth that tourist guides find amusing to tell visitors to the rainforest.”（认为棕榈树实际上可以通过在森林地面上缓慢移动来追踪阳光的变化……这是一个神话，导游们觉得这很有趣，会告诉去雨林的游客。）可知，导游因为觉得棕榈树能行走这件事非常有趣，常常会讲给游客听。由此推知，在导游的讲述和引导下，会行走的棕榈树会非常受游客的欢迎。故选C项。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“His analysis of the plant and its roots shows that the walking tree can’t walk because its roots don’t move. A few roots on one side or another may die off, but the trunk itself remains, well, rooted to the spot.”（他对植物及其根的分析表明，行走的树不能行走是因为它的根不动。一侧或另一侧的一些根可能会死亡，但树干本身仍然扎根在原地。）可知，生物学家Gerardo Avalos认为棕榈树实际上并不能行走。故选A项。 D As an art graduate, I have always considered myself an artist. However, my journey as a jewelry maker began with an earring-making experience during the pandemic (疫情) when businesses were shutting down. I struggled with large amounts of time, unemployed and unmotivated. I didn’t know what to do until my friends suggested we make something “cute” from clay (粘土). He was in a rut as well and was looking for an opportunity to get refreshed. While searching online, I was attracted by the photos of beautiful earrings. Thinking about my own possible designs, for the first time in so long, brought me excitement. I began making my first pair once the materials arrived. I rolled, baked, and connected the clay pieces again and again, trying to make the combination perfect. It took me almost six hours to complete, leaving me with cuts all over my hands due to the repeated use of tools. While the earrings were still not perfect, I felt proud and eager to do better. Afterwards, I officially started my jewelry-making journey by setting up an Instagram account to display my creations and to seek out other artists. Thanks to their help, I built upon my skills and found myself improving. Later on, I began receiving messages from interested buyers, which encouraged me much. Surprisingly, my creations were bought and worn by more and more people, shipped across the country, and carried in luggage as gifts or souvenirs. Now I am lucky enough to have a full-time job where I have less time to create. But I’ll never give it up since it is creating jewelry that reminds me of my passion as an artist. 37. What does the underlined phrase “in a rut” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Stuck in self-criticism. B. Leading a dull life. C. Tired from a busy schedule. D. Struggling for fame. 38. Which best describes the author’s earring-making experience in Paragraph 3? A. Painful. B. Perfect. C. Rewarding. D. Disappointing. 39. What helped the author improve her jewelry-making skills? A. Recognition from buyers. B. Lessons from the past. C. Encouragement from friends. D. Help from other artists. 40. What’s the main idea of this text? A. Clay art won me great fame. B. Making jewelry helped me out. C. Making jewelry built my character. D. Clay art fueled my passion for business. 【答案】37. B 38. C 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者如何开始制作耳环以及作者做耳环的经历对作者的影响。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“I struggled with large amounts of time, unemployed and unmotivated. I didn’t know what to do until my friends suggested we make something “cute” from clay (粘土). (我在大量的时间里挣扎，没有工作，没有动力。我不知道该怎么办，直到我的朋友建议我们用粘土做一些“可爱”的东西。)”可知，作者过得很无聊，再根据第二段“was looking for an opportunity to get refreshed.(正在寻找一个恢复精神的机会)”可知，作者的那个朋友也过着无聊的生活，划线短语in a rut的意思是“过着无聊的生活”，和Leading a dull life意思相近，故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“While the earrings were still not perfect, I felt proud and eager to do better.(虽然耳环还不够完美，但我感到自豪，并渴望做得更好。)”和第四段“Afterwards, I officially started my jewelry-making journey by setting up an Instagram account to display my creations and to seek out other artists.(之后，我正式开始了我的珠宝制作之旅，建立了一个Instagram账户来展示我的作品，并寻找其他艺术家。)”可知，作者制作耳环的经历是很值得的，故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Afterwards, I officially started my jewelry-making journey by setting up an Instagram account to display my creations and to seek out other artists. Thanks to their help, I built upon my skills and found myself improving.(之后，我正式开始了我的珠宝制作之旅，建立了一个Instagram账户来展示我的作品，并寻找其他艺术家。多亏了他们的帮助，我的技能得到了提高，并发现自己在进步。)”可知，来自其他艺术家的帮助帮助作者提高了自己的珠宝制作技能，故选D。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“However, my journey as a jewelry maker began with an earring-making experience during the pandemic (疫情) when businesses were shutting down.(然而，我作为珠宝制造商的旅程始于大流行期间企业关闭时的耳环制作经历。)”和最后一段“Now I am lucky enough to have a full-time job where I have less time to create. But I’ll never give it up since it is creating jewelry that reminds me of my passion as an artist.(现在我很幸运有一份全职工作，我没有那么多时间去创造。但我永远不会放弃，因为它是创造珠宝让我想起我作为一个艺术家的激情。)”可知，本文主要讲的是作者如何开始制作耳环以及作者做耳环的经历对作者的影响，因此文章的主旨是B选项“Making jewelry helped me out.(制作珠宝帮我走出困境。)”，故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题4分,满分20分) 阅读下面短文，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。 As a parent, you want your kids to do their best in school.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向家长介绍了一些好的方法以帮助孩子能够取得成功。 【41题详解】 根据空前内容“However, what else do children need to be successful without a professional homework helper? (然而，如果没有专业的家庭作业帮手，孩子们还需要什么才能成功呢？)”可知，空前发出疑问“孩子们还需要什么才能成功呢？”。选项F“Here are some ways from professionals for helping your children with it. (这里有一些来自专业人士的方法来帮助你的孩子。)”回答了空前问句，同时引出下文具体的建议。故选F。 【42题详解】 根据空前内容“One mistake students usually make is postponing unpleasant work and deliberately looking for distraction. (学生们经常犯的一个错误是推迟不愉快的功课，故意寻找分心的事情。)”和下文“Teach your children that the workload isn't going to get smaller if they wait longer. (让孩子们知道，如果他们等得更久，工作量不会减少。)”可知，孩子喜欢推延不喜欢的功课，此时作为家长，应该告诉孩子等得再久工作量并不会减少。选项G“Instead, it will only become larger and seem more difficult to get started. (相反，它只会变得更大，似乎更难开始。)”是上一句内容的自然延续，指的是等得再久，工作量不会减少，反而会更大，更难开始。故选G。 【43题详解】 根据空前“Many children get stressed out when they have big assignments due. (许多孩子在有大量业要做时感到压力很大。)”和空后“Often people get frightened by the difficulty of tasks without understanding that the large task is actually just made up of smaller ones. (人们常常被任务的难度吓倒，却不明白大任务实际上是由小任务组成的。)”可推断，空处指的应该是将大任务划分成小任务。选项D“Teach them to break complicated projects into smaller pieces. (教他们把复杂的项目分成更小的部分。)”与上下文内容相一致，指的是当孩子遇到大项目时，作为家长，应该教他们将大项目分成小项目，这样才不会被任务的难度吓倒。故选D。 【44题详解】 空处为小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文“There are a growing number of 44.online references and homework resources. Not only will your children be better prepared for class the next day, but they’ll also learn a valuable lesson about how to research and find information online. From them you can also find ideas for educational activities that you can do with your children.  (网上的参考资料和家庭作业资源越来越多。你的孩子不仅会为第二天的课做更好的准备，而且他们也会学到如何在网上搜索和查找信息的宝贵一课。从他们那里，你也可以找到一些教育活动的想法，你可以和你的孩子一起做。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是我们可以教孩子们从网上寻找资料得到帮助。选项A“Search more message on the internet. (上网寻求更多信息。)”是本段内容的综述，指的是从网上寻求帮助。故选A。 【45题详解】 根据下文内容“Hence, have your kids keep ahead of their homework with an organized system. For example, they could use a scheduling application like Asana or Trello to manage projects with arranged dates, or they might stick to an old-fashioned pen and a paper planner. See what works best for them and go from there. (因此，让你的孩子用一个有组织的系统提前完成他们的家庭作业。例如，他们可以使用像Asana或Trello这样的日程安排应用程序来管理安排日期的项目，或者他们可能会坚持使用老式的笔和纸计划。看看什么对他们最有效，然后从那里开始。)”可知，下文主要介绍了一些方法可以帮助自己的孩子做事有条理。选项E“Putting everything in order is the key to success, because it can maximize efficiency. (井然有序是成功的关键，因为它可以最大限度地提高效率。)”与下文内容一致，指的是有条理才能获得成功。故选E。 第三部分:语言运用(共二节，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。 Would you drive around the world on a motorbike?

From the second floor of the flat, she could see the postman when he came down the street, and the little boy from the ground floor brought up her letters on rare occasions when anything came. Today she was sure there would be something. Her daughter, Myra, wouldn’t forget her birthday, even if Myra seldom wrote at other times. Of course, Myra was busy. The old lady was proud of Myra, who was successful both in her company and family. The old lady was eighty today. She had put on her best dress. Perhaps Myra might come. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of color brightened her cheeks. She was excited-like a child. She would enjoy her day. Mrs. Morison upstairs had brought a card and a bunch of flowers to her. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake, and in the afternoon she was going down there to tea. Johnnie had brought up with a packet of sweets, and said he wouldn’t go out to play until the post had come. “I guess you’ll get lots of presents.” he said. What would she like? A pair of comfortable shoes perhaps. Or a new coat. A coat would be lovely. Blue is such a pretty color. Or a table lamp. Or a book, a travel book, with pictures. Or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 She stood by the window, watching. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly the doorbell rang, she thought it would be another postman who sent parcels. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bike. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him, too and ran to the bike. After a while, Johnnie ran up and knocked at her door. “Granny, Granny,” he shouted, “I’ve got your post.” He gave her four envelopes. Three were unsealed cards from old friends. The fourth was sealed in Myra’s writing. “No parcel, Johnnie?” “No, Granny.” Maybe the parcel was too large to come by letter post. That was it. It would come later by parcel post. She must be patient. Suddenly the doorbell rang, and she thought it would be another postman who sent parcels. She opened the door, but she was surprised at what she saw. It is her daughter Myra. The old lady was so astonished but happy to see that her daughter Myra came. “Mom, Happy Birthday! I am ‘the postman’ to send your gift. This is your birthday gift--a blue coat”, her daughter happily said. The old lay was so moved to tears. This is the most happiest moment in her life. 【解析】 【分析】 文章以人物为线索展开。讲述了一位老太太在自己80大寿的时候，期盼着能收到女儿迈拉的来信和礼物。她穿上最漂亮的裙子，兴奋又紧张地等待着，确信会有一些事情发生。楼上的莫里森太太给她带来了一张卡片和一束花。楼下的格兰特做了一个蛋糕，下午她要下楼去喝茶。约翰尼送来一包糖果，说要等邮件来了他才出去玩。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①. 由第一段首句内容“她站在窗前注视着。”可知，第一段可描写邮差出现，约翰尼把信送给老太太。 ②. 由第二段首句内容“突然门铃响了，她以为是另一个送包裹的邮递员。”可知，第二段可描写老太太打开门之后看到了期盼已久的女儿。 2. 续写线索：邮差出现——约翰尼上楼送信——老人失望——门铃响——女儿出现——老人惊喜感动落泪 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①. 跑上楼：come upstairs/run up the stairs ②. 给某人某物：give sb. sth./offer sb.sth. ③. 出现：appear/turn up/emerge 情绪类 ①. 失望：feel disappointed/lose hope/despair ② 吃惊：feel surprised/astonished/amazed/shocked 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Sports officials who can keep the games fair are needed everywhere. Some on-the-job training is required, along with perhaps more than a little patience for fans and players. Physician assistant Average hourly wage: $57.43 Physician assistant is another health care role that has more responsibilities than a nurse but less than a doctor. Working with a physician, the workers can handle duties such as finding out patients’ disease, ordering medical tests and setting broken bones. These jobs require a master’s degree along with required certificates. Project management specialist Average hourly wage: $53.32 If you have experience helping others turn their great ideas into finished products, this could be the right role for you. A project management specialist needs a bachelor degree, but doesn’t have to follow a fixed working time. Teacher Average hourly wage: $33.43 Teaching has long been a popular job for older adults, whether they’ve been doing it for years or they choose it as a second career.

B Last month, I moved abroad for two years to study, taking just a single suitcase with me.I couldn’t afford to keep my former flat, so when it came to my possessions , extreme measures were called for. Some of my stuff, like books, I could give them away. But there was a list of things like precious paintings and my childhood teddy bear that I couldn’t bring myself to let go. So I decided to offer these things up for long-term loan. It’s not recycling. I’m calling it “share-cycling”. I made the decision as I imagined someone I loved putting my tent onto their back and setting off into the countryside in the summer sunshine. This made it feel as though I would still, in some way, be with my friends. And once I’d come up with the idea, it just grew and grew. I decided to give away everything I owned! To get rid of all, I invited everyone I knew to take my belongings. When the people first came round, they all sat around drinking tea and glancing at the cupboards. I was beginning to wonder why I had asked them to go through my stuff and take what they wanted. But soon I became like a sales assistant. I recommended novels, waved toys at babies, and brought out clothes for people to try on. Now I am sitting in a flat on the other side of the world. I feel very far from my home, and from my stuff. That list I made of the things I want back? I’m not sure how much I’ll need it. So far, I haven’t missed any of my pictures, or those memorable things. Instead, I’ve missed my family, my friends, and my city. My “share-cycling” plan ties me back to them. A friend took my tent to a music festival. And my favourite picture ended up on the wall of my best friend’s flat. This is what gives me a-real-buzz: the thought of all my bits and pieces in my friends’ lives, a physical reminder of our ties. It’s like I’ve pressed “pause” on my city life rather than “stop”, making the move easier. 29. Why did the author decide to give away her belongings to others? A. She owned many precious things. B. She would study abroad for many years. C. She was unable to keep all of them in her flat. D. She believed they were useful to people she loved. 30. How did the author feel the moment people came to take her belongings? A. Regretful. B. Cheerful. C. Worried. D. Satisfied. 31. What do the underlined words “a real buzz” mean in paragraph 4? A. A helpful reminder of the past. B. A strong feeling of excitement. C. A sudden memory of an old friend. D. An interesting experience of the move 32. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The author was surprised at the change of her life. B. The author missed her belongings more than expected. C. It would be worthwhile for the author to get her things back. D. The shared stuff helped to maintain the connection between people. C As we all know, trees are always stationary: they stay more or less where you plant them, and no one worries about finding a tree wandering around a park or back yard. However there is one special exception, some say: the so-called walking palm tree (棕桐树) was found in the rainforests of Central and South America. Many people believe it can really walk around. This is because of its unusual root system: while most trees have one trunk, the palm breaks into many smaller roots a few feet off the ground, giving it the appearance of many little legs. The amazing walking ability of the palm tree has always been told by rainforest guides to tourists for years, and appears in many sources of documents as an amazing plant adaptation. As journalist Sherry Seethaler writes in her book Curious Folks Ask 2: “Screen writers searching for the perfect B-movie (小成本电影) plant hero could take inspiration from the walking palm. The tree slowly walks from shade to sunlight by growing new roots toward the light.” A tree that walks in search of the sun is a fascinating, strange story. And it’s not true either; the tree is real enough, but it doesn’t walk. It sits where it began to grow, not moving except under the force of wind or an axe. Biologist Gerardo Avalos is one of the world’s top experts on the palm tree. His analysis of the plant and its roots shows that the walking tree can’t walk because its roots don’t move. A few roots on one side or another may die off, but the trunk itself remains, well, rooted to the spot. “My paper proves that the belief of the walking palm is just a myth,” Avalos said. “Thinking that a palm tree could actually track the sunlight changes by moving slowly over the forest floor… is a myth that tourist guides find amusing to tell visitors to the rainforest.” 33. What is the reason for no worries about wandering trees? A. Trees are not always standing. B. Trees are not always moving. C. Trees are not always growing. D. Trees are not always dying. 34. Why do people think the palm tree can walk around? A. It has no roots underground. B. It appears to have several trunks. C. It grows a few feet off the ground. D.

However, my journey as a jewelry maker began with an earring-making experience during the pandemic (疫情) when businesses were shutting down. I struggled with large amounts of time, unemployed and unmotivated. I didn’t know what to do until my friends suggested we make something “cute” from clay (粘土). He was in a rut as well and was looking for an opportunity to get refreshed. While searching online, I was attracted by the photos of beautiful earrings. Thinking about my own possible designs, for the first time in so long, brought me excitement. I began making my first pair once the materials arrived. I rolled, baked, and connected the clay pieces again and again, trying to make the combination perfect. It took me almost six hours to complete, leaving me with cuts all over my hands due to the repeated use of tools. While the earrings were still not perfect, I felt proud and eager to do better. Afterwards, I officially started my jewelry-making journey by setting up an Instagram account to display my creations and to seek out other artists. Thanks to their help, I built upon my skills and found myself improving. Later on, I began receiving messages from interested buyers, which encouraged me much. Surprisingly, my creations were bought and worn by more and more people, shipped across the country, and carried in luggage as gifts or souvenirs. Now I am lucky enough to have a full-time job where I have less time to create. But I’ll never give it up since it is creating jewelry that reminds me of my passion as an artist. 37. What does the underlined phrase “in a rut” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Stuck in self-criticism. B. Leading a dull life. C. Tired from a busy schedule. D. Struggling for fame. 38. Which best describes the author’s earring-making experience in Paragraph 3? A. Painful. B. Perfect. C. Rewarding. D. Disappointing. 39. What helped the author improve her jewelry-making skills? A. Recognition from buyers. B. Lessons from the past. C. Encouragement from friends. D. Help from other artists. 40. What’s the main idea of this text? A. Clay art won me great fame. B. Making jewelry helped me out. C. Making jewelry built my character. D Clay art fueled my passion for business. 第二节(共5小题;每小题4分,满分20分) 阅读下面短文，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。 As a parent, you want your kids to do their best in school.
