B During the lively Paris Olympics, while the spotlight shone on the athletes, a group of unsung （未被颂扬的） heroes worked tirelessly behind the scenes—the Olympic volunteers. This year, out of 300,000 applicants, around 45,000 were chosen as volunteers, with 20 percent coming from nearly 150 countries. These volunteers wore bright green uniforms to be easily noticed in the purple venues. They offered help to viewers and media alike, making them an important part of the Olympic experience. On my first day as a reporter, I met a technical problem with my media system account. Thankfully, Chinese volunteer Guo came to help me out. “I hope to improve my language, communication skills, and problem-solving methods through this event,” said 24-year-old Guo from Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei Province, who was studying wireless communication at the Paris Institute of Digital Technology. As a former professional swimmer, Guo saw this as her chance to take part in the Olympics, though in a different role. Another Chinese volunteer, Yang, faced challenges in managing her job and volunteer duties. Despite giving up her holidays, she felt great pride in contributing to the event. One of my most memorable experiences was meeting with a French volunteer. When I needed help to find the visitor center, a young man on a scooter appeared, like a sort of “Monkey King riding a cloud”, and offered to take me there. After helping me, he expressed his admiration for the Beijing Olympics and his desire to visit China again. Volunteers like them were seen everywhere—from bus stops to competition venues—offering directions and helping with a smile. When large crowds left the venues after the events, causing overcrowding, some volunteers sat on high chairs with loudspeakers, providing directions to go outside in both English and French with a smile. These amazing volunteers, truly show the Olympic spirit, making the event and Paris shine even brighter. 24. Why might the volunteers wear bright green uniforms? A. To stand out in the crowd. B. To show love for athletes. C. To fit in with the venues. D. To stand for their countries. 25. What do we know about Guo? A. She found it hard to balance her job and volunteer work. B. She both swam and volunteered in the Paris Olympics. C. She wanted to improve herself through volunteer work. D. She wasn’t as patient and helpful as the French volunteer. 26. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To doubt the organization of the Paris Olympics, B. To praise the service of Paris Olympic volunteers. C. To show the meaning of hosting Olympic Games. D. To provide a detailed schedule of Olympic events. 27. How is the text mainly developed? A. By listing the benefits of volunteer work. B. By discussing historical Olympic events. C. By comparing different views on Olympics. D. By sharing personal stories and experiences. C The baguette, a long, thin French bread, is being added to UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage （遗产） list. UNESCO experts gathering in Morocco this week decided that the simple French bread—made only of flour, water, salt, and yeast—was worth U.N. recognition, after France’s culture ministry warned of a “continuous drop” in the number of traditional bakeries, with some 400 closing every year over the past half century. The UN cultural agency’s chief, Audrey Azoulay said, “The decision honors more than just bread; it recognizes the ‘graceful skills of bakers’ and ‘a daily ritual (仪式)’.” Azoulay added, “It is important that such baking knowledge and social practices can continue to exist in the future.” With the bread’s new status, the French government said it planned to create a baguette day, called the “Open Bake house Day”, to connect the French better with their heritage. Bakers in France seemed proud, if unsurprised. “Of course, it should be on the list because the baguette symbolizes the world. It’s universal,” said Asma Farhat, a baker at Julien’s Bakery. “If there’s no baguette, you can’t have a proper meal. In the morning you can toast it, for lunch it’s a sandwich, and then it accompanies dinner.” Despite the decline in traditional bakery numbers, France’s 67 million people still buy baguettes at a variety of sales points, including in supermarkets. According to France’s “Bread Observatory（观察站）”, the French eat 320 baguettes of one form or another every second. The problem is, observers say, that they can often be poor in quality. “It’s very easy to get bad baguette in France. It’s the traditional baguette from the traditional bakery that is in danger. It’s about quality not quantity,” said one local resident, Marine Fourchier. 28．Why did UNESCO’s decide to add the French bread to UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list? A．Because it has a long history. B．Because it is made of simple materials. C．Because it is in danger of disappearing. D．Because it is made in traditional bakeries. 29．What did Audrey Azoulay think of UNESCO’s decision? A．He felt honored. B．His attitude was unclear. C．He thought it was embarrassing. D．He thought it was meaningful. 30．What can we learn from Asma Farhat’s words? A．Baguettes should be served all the day. B．Baguettes are common in the French diet. C．Baguettes should have been put on the list earlier. D．Baguettes and sandwiches are equally important. 31．What can be a proper title for this article? A．The baguette — a cultural heritage that is of poor quality. B．Protecting the baguette — everyone can make a difference. C．Protecting the baguette — quality is more important than quantity. D．The baguette — a new comer on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. D Orion Jean is a kid on a mission. His goal is to spread kindness and inspire others to do the same. It all started last year when Orion’s elementary school teacher suggested that the then 9-year-old enter the National Kindness Speech Contest. “I decided that I was just going to give it a shot and see how it would go,” Orion tells us. He gave a speech about how kindness could “change a nation,” and won the competition, receiving a $500 cash prize. He quickly realized he wasn’t going to use all of that money. “I’m a kid,” he says, “I have everything that I could ever want. But there are people who don’t.” Orion, who says his parents always taught him that “kindness is a virtue that we should all try to possess,” came up with the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign - a series of events to help others. Orion describes the campaign as “just an idea where I would spread kindness and people would be able to join the race by spreading kindness in their own communities.” He decided to start by helping children with health problems in the hospital, saying, “What better way to amuse a kid than a toy?” So, he used his winnings to buy as many toys as possible and launched a toy fair to gather more. He collected over 600 toys, which were donated to the Children’s Health Hospital in Dallas in 2021. But Orion was just getting started. After the toy fair, he launched an ambitious “Race to 100, 000 meals” to help food-insecure people in his community. Race to Kindness partnered with a local nonprofit organization to help get 100, 000 meals donated and to feed people who might not have had a meal for Thanksgiving. The result? “We were able to not only reach but also surpass our goal of 100, 000 meals,” he says. In May 2022, the kindness activist decided to launch “Race to 500, 000 Books” to help families who couldn’t afford books or live in “book deserts”. When asked why he thinks of books, “I’m a huge book fan,” Orion shares, “and studies show that children who have books in their homes do better academically.” 32. What does the underlined words “give it a shot” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Have a try. B. Give a hand. C. Get a big head. D. Have second thoughts. 33. What helps Orion bring about the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign? A. His great passion for racing. B. His unused toys all over the place. C. Family education from his childhood. D. Heartbreaking scenes in the hospital. 34. Which of the following can best describe the young boy Orion? A. Creative and childish. B. Kind and straightforward. C. Easy-going and sympathetic. D. Generous and ambitious. 35. What can be inferred about why Orion chose to start the “Race to Kindness” campaign with toys for children in hospitals? A. He believed toys could be a great way to bring happiness to ill children. B. He wanted to become famous by organizing a large toy collection event. C. His parents advised him to use toys because they are easy to gather. D. He thought it would be a quick way to spend his prize money. E Good friends and good physical health may be even more closely linked than previously thought, new research has found. Researchers discovered that positive social experiences impact not only a person’s stress level and ability to cope, but also markers（指标） of physical health, according to a study published Monday in the journal Society for Personality and Social Psychology. The study followed more than 4,000 people over three weeks as they completed check-ins every three days on their smartphones or smartwatches regarding their positive and negative experiences with their closest social relationships, as well as assessments of their blood pressure, heart rate, stress and coping. Having more positive experiences in social relationships was generally associated with better coping, lower stress and lower blood pressure, according to the study. Frequently changing between good and bad in social relationships can be unhelpful. When there is a lot of volatility, the negative experiences seemed to have a bigger impact on a person than the positive, said lead study author Brian Don of the University of Auckland. Then, how to build good social relationships? Adam Smiley Poswolsky, a workplace belonging expert, suggests starting small. Text a friend that you haven’t talked to in a long time, meet one new person a month, host a dinner party, or join a class. “If you do just one thing, make a list of five people in your life that you care about, and give one of them a phone call,” Poswolsky added. There might not be just one definition of a good friendship, but most strong relationships share some similar qualities, he said. They tend to prioritize laughter, joy, excitement, courage, and non-judgmental support. And good friendships are often two people helping each other become better versions（版本） of themselves, he added. “You know someone is a true friend when they have your back when you’re sick, when you lose your job, when you make a mistake, when you’re stressed, when you’re sad,” Poswolsky said. 36. How was the study carried out? A. By doing regular check-ins on devices. B. By following participants for three days. C. By interviewing the closest friends of participants. D. By monitoring the health conditions of participants. 37. What does the underlined word “volatility” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Pressure. B. Association. C. Changeability. D. Certainty. 38. Which statement will Poswolsky probably agree with? A. Friendship is about being always available. B. Friendship is based on shared interests and hobbies. C. Friendship begins with tiny moments of connection. D. Friendship means always having positive interactions. 39. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from? A. A survey. B. A personal diary. C. A biology textbook. D. A news report. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Why is Chinese a Good Language to Learn If there’s one language in the world that’s worth learning, it’s the Chinese language. You must be wondering why. 40 Gain the job opportunities. With the steady development for decades, China has become the second largest economic power in the world while keeping closely connected with the west. 41 __ It helps a lot if you’re looking to work in a career that involves dealing with Chinese buyers or suppliers. Know about the history and culture. 42 In fact, China has had a significant say in the history of the world. It’s agreed that four great inventions — namely paper-making, printing, gunpowder and the compass — made their way from China to Europe via the famous Silk Road. To really understand the contribution of this part of the world and have a deep insight into the history of Asia, speaking the language can be beneficial. 43 Chinese literature, both ancient and modern, comes from an entirely different cultural background than literature written in the West. To really appreciate it, however, you have to read it in the original language. Many works of Chinese literature haven’t been translated into English, so you have no choice but to enjoy them as they stand. If you want to understand modern China, learning the Chinese language is vital. Enjoy the food. In Britain, we’re familiar with Chinese food—or at least, a Westernized version of it. By learning the Chinese language, you’ll start to understand exactly what all of those words on the menu mean. In time, you might feel more comfortable ordering something that’s a little bit less familiar. ______ 44 ______ A．Translate the literature. B．Appreciate the literature. C．Here come a few good reasons to learn the language. D．Therefore, the ability to speak Chinese language is pretty valuable. E．China is home to the history and culture that runs for thousands of years. F．You might even develop an appreciation for Chinese cuisine for its varieties. G．Chinese culture has had a great influence on the world for thousands of years. 第三部分 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。 In March of 2018, Molly Baker lost her husband in a skiing accident.
