Reading comprehension A On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization (文明) of Ancient Egypt Recognized as the largest exhibition of ancient Egyptian artifacts (手工艺品) ever held outside their native country, the exhibition represents a pioneering cooperation (合作) between an official Chinese museum and the Egyptian government. Visitors will take on a historic trip through three sections: The Land of the Pharaohs (法老), The Secrets of Saqqara, and The Age of Tutankhamun. The Land of the Pharaohs The Land of the Pharaohs section starts with creation myths (神话), focusing on the two icons of ancient Egyptian civilizations: temples and pyramids. This section explores Egyptian civilization and looks back to the path of its growth. Also shown here are some Chinese artifacts, as we aim to encourage a dialogue between ancient civilizations and between ancient and modern. The Secrets of Saqqara The ancient Egyptians considered the building of Memphis as its capital as the beginning of their history. And Saqqara is the most important ancient cemetery (公墓) of Memphis. Saqqara is known for housing Egypt’s first pyramid, the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, along with15 other pyramids from the 3rd Dynasty to the 13th Dynasty. The site also contains many tombs built for nobles (贵族) and animals from different periods. The Age of Tutankhamun Pharaoh Tutankhamun, who died at the age of 19, attracted worldwide attention in 1922 when his tomb was discovered. Nearly 5,000 precious artifacts were found from the mausoleum. Among them was Tutankhamun’s golden mask, which became the most familiar Egyptian face to the world. Exhibition Time: July 19, 2024-Aug 15, 2025 (closed on Mondays, except national holidays) Address: 1st Floor of the Shanghai Museum on People’s Square, No. 201 Renmin Avenue, Huangpu District To buy tickets and make reservations, please search for the ‘Shanghai Museum Reservation’ mini-program on WeChat, or access it through the Shanghai Museum official WeChat account. 36.

It occupies (占据) the whole of the Shanghai Museum on People’s Square. D. It is a success of the cooperation between the Chinese and Egyptian governments. B Nobody wants to buy an expensive telescope and then aimlessly scan the stars trying to find an object. Help is needed. Thankfully, there is an app for that. Celestron is a leader in the world of telescopes and its StarSense Explorer app and dock (底座) have been designed to run on the StarSense Explorer telescopes. The free StarSense Explorer app (compatible with iOS and Android) uses information based on your exact location and time to tell you which stars or planets can be seen in the night sky (cloud-dependent, of course). Mount the phone into the StarSense Explorer dock attached to the telescope and choose your observation target (目标). A bracket (支架) will hold the phone over a mirror on the dock so that star patterns can reflect off the mirror and into the phone’s camera. StarSense Explorer processes (处理) the information and your telescope will find your target. As well as locating your target StarSense Explorer holds detailed information about your chosen object. Listen to an audio presentation while you observe, or read the available data. The StarSense Explorer app will even give you observing tips on how to get the best view. StarSense Explorer is the only astronomy app to use plate solving technology to find its target and it claims a typical pointing accuracy (目标指示精度) of as little as 0.25°. Used by professional observatories, and even orbiting satellites, plate solving is the process of extracting (提取) star pattern data in images and matching the star pattern within the image to its inside database (数据库) to work out a telescope’s pointing position. StarSense Explorer uses the smartphone’s camera as its “eye” and the phone’s processing power as its “brain”. Plate solving would normally require specialised technology, such as sensitive imaging camera, lens and astronomical software, all at great cost. The StarSense Explorer app is free and compatible with StarSense Explorer telescopes, starting from £189.99. If you’re ready to take a deeper dive into astronomy, Celestron’s StarSense Explorer technology will make a fine companion. You can discover more about StarSense Explorer technology at www.celestron.com. Catch up with Celestron at the New Science Live show between 12-14 October to learn more about StarSense Explorer. You will find the research team at stand i34. 41. StarSense Explorer app do the following things for users except ________. A. offering observing tips B. presenting cloud conditions C. locating the user’s target D. providing information about the target 42. What’s StarSense Explorer app’s biggest advantage over other astronomy apps? A. It’s easy to operate. B. It’s free with Celestron. C. It uses plate solving technology. D. It can be used in both iOS and Android phones. 43. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The smartphone’s camera works as the brain of StarSense Explorer app. B. StarSense Explorer app can be used independent from Celestron. C. The cheapest Celestron sells at the price of £189.99. D. Celestron is the best telescope in the world. 44. Besides visiting the website, how can people get information about StarSense Explorer app? A. Call its 400 hotline. B. Visit its offline store. C. Ask a new scientist at the show. D. Go to stand i34 to talk with the research team. 45. What’s probably the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To inform the readers of some tips for observing stars. B. To tell about technological innovation in astronomy. C To recommend an app used with the telescope. D. To introduce a famous telescope brand. C Don Powell was pulling a mountain of envelopes from the letterbox outside his home in Orchard Lake Village, Michigan, when he noticed something strange: a tiny doll couple were sitting inside. A small note read, “________.” It was signed from Mary and Shelley. He and his wife Nancy had a unique letterbox installed about four years ago. It has many windows on the top and sides to let the light in. The inside is roomy, measuring 66 centimetres long, 38 centimetres wide and 25 centimetres high. It even has lights so that it is bright at night. “We could understand why dolls would want to move into such a nice mailbox, but we had no idea where they came from,” Don says. “I asked the neighbours whether anybody had left dolls in their mailboxes, and everyone told me no. So I thought, ‘This must just be a joke, and whoever left them here will come back to get them.’” A few days passed. Don and Nancy discovered the small couple had got a table, a bed and a pair of roller skates. “I also have a sense of humour, so I left a note of my own, saying that what the home really needed was a refrigerator full of food,” he says. The fridge was never delivered. But over the next several months, more things mysteriously showed up: a cooker, a dishwasher and a painting, to name a few. More than a year later, Mary and Shelley were still living rent-free in the letterbox, to the delight of neighbours who now follow Don’s updates on Orchard Lake Village’s Nextdoor page. Don first posted about the tiny couple on August 21, 2022, hoping that might help solve the mystery. “A homeless couple has lived inside our mailbox. I have included photos of what it all looks like, so you don’t think I’m making any of this up,” he wrote on Nextdoor. The Powells’ next-door neighbour, Terry Falahee, says he believes that Don did not move the dolls into the letterbox himself. It’s just somebody out there who is having some fun, giving us all a little community humour. Every month or two, particularly around holidays, the Powells find something new inside the box for Mary and Shelley. For Halloween 2022, the couple was given a pumpkin lantern, and at Christmas, a decorated tree was left with tiny presents. “It’s getting a little crowded, especially because their cousin Shirley has also moved in, along with a service dog named Maggie,” Don says. Don recently added a miniature letterbox since the family is getting more and more tiny letters from the community. 46. Which of the following best fits the blank? A. We’ve decided to live here. B. Welcome to our community. C. Congratulations, my neighbours. D. Mary and Shelly love the letterbox. 47. Which of the following statements about the Powells’ letterbox is right? A. It was put up in 2022 for Halloween. B. It was the biggest in the neighbourhood. C. It was carefully constructed by the Powells. D. It looked very much like a miniature room. 48. Which of the following was done by Don Powell for Mary and Shelly? A. Buying a refrigerator and filling it with food. B. Introducing the doll couple to the neighbours. C. Celebrating holidays together with the doll couple. D. Collecting rent money from Mary and Shelly. 49. Who are living together in the letterbox now? A. Don, Nancy, Mary and Shelly B. Don, Nancy, Shirley and Maggie C. Terry, Shelly, Maggie and Shirley D. Mary, Shelly, Maggie and Shirley 50. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A unique letterbox B. Tiny new neighbours C. A special community D. Mysterious families 卷Ⅱ主观题（满分40分） Please write the answers on the answer sheet. （请将此卷答案写在答卷纸上） Ⅴ. Vocabulary A. Complete each sentence with proper words.

Ⅷ. Read the passage and finish the form with ONE word in each blank. (0.5%×10=5%) Arthritis (关节炎) is a disease that affects different joints (关节), most commonly the knee, and also your hips, your ankles and your hands. It involves degeneration (退化) of cartilage (软骨), and also of the bone, the joint itself and production of fluid (润滑液). It’s a very common condition in middle to older age adults. Signs of the condition include stiff (僵硬) knees, swollen (肿) knees, and a cracking noise when you move the joint. Arthritis pain is a common struggle as you get old and while managing the pain may feel like an uphill battle, experts say there’s an exercise you can try to help your knee health. According to a recent study, bike riding is super good for knee health. The study was made up of 2,607 people with an average age of 64. They reported their bicycling frequency throughout their lifetime. Researchers checked for arthritis by taking x-rays of their knees. People who rode a bike, whether outdoors or indoors, reported less of frequent knee pain and were less likely to have knee arthritis. Then why is riding a bike great for your knees? “Bike riding has very low impact (冲击). The force that goes to your knee while you’re bike riding is a fraction (小部分) of what happens when you walk or run,” explained Daniel White, a professor in the department of physical therapy at the University of Delaware. However, even though it’s low impact, you still get the benefits of strengthening your muscles, exercising your cardiovascular (心血管) system, as well as other health benefits. “If you can do activities to strengthen the area while you are also decreasing the impact on the cartilage, then you should have less arthritis pain,” said Dr. Michael Yang, a sports medicine physician at Jefferson Health in Philadelphia. “Bicycling helps to strengthen the muscles around the knee, which also improves your knee joint health as a whole,” said Dr. Jessica Tomazic, a sports medicine doctor at the Cleveland Clinic. A (n) ____90____ to reduce knee pain The problem of arthritis Harm to the body: Degeneration of cartilage, the bone, the joint, production of fluid, etc. Symptoms (症状): Stiff, swollen joints, mainly the knee; A cracking ____91____ when moving. People likely affected: Adults of or ____92____ middle age. A recent study Subject (研究对象): 2,607 people ____93____ 64 on average. Data source: Reports from participants (参与者) on how ____94____ they ride a bike; X-ray check-up of their ____95____. Conclusion: It’s less ____96____ for bike riders to have knee pain or knee arthritis. Benefits of bike riding Having impact ____97____ than walking or running; Making muscles around the knee ____98____; ____99____ knee joint health as a whole; Exercising cardiovascular system and other health benefits. Ⅸ. Writing(10%) 100. The 2024 Paris Olympics aroused a hot discussion among people about whether all champions are born, not made. What are your opinions?

Help is needed. Thankfully, there is an app for that. Celestron is a leader in the world of telescopes and its StarSense Explorer app and dock (底座) have been designed to run on the StarSense Explorer telescopes. The free StarSense Explorer app (compatible with iOS and Android) uses information based on your exact location and time to tell you which stars or planets can be seen in the night sky (cloud-dependent, of course). Mount the phone into the StarSense Explorer dock attached to the telescope and choose your observation target (目标). A bracket (支架) will hold the phone over a mirror on the dock so that star patterns can reflect off the mirror and into the phone’s camera. StarSense Explorer processes (处理) the information and your telescope will find your target. As well as locating your target StarSense Explorer holds detailed information about your chosen object. Listen to an audio presentation while you observe, or read the available data. The StarSense Explorer app will even give you observing tips on how to get the best view. StarSense Explorer is the only astronomy app to use plate solving technology to find its target and it claims a typical pointing accuracy (目标指示精度) of as little as 0.25°. Used by professional observatories, and even orbiting satellites, plate solving is the process of extracting (提取) star pattern data in images and matching the star pattern within the image to its inside database (数据库) to work out a telescope’s pointing position. StarSense Explorer uses the smartphone’s camera as its “eye” and the phone’s processing power as its “brain”. Plate solving would normally require specialised technology, such as sensitive imaging camera, lens and astronomical software, all at great cost. The StarSense Explorer app is free and compatible with StarSense Explorer telescopes, starting from £189.99. If you’re ready to take a deeper dive into astronomy, Celestron’s StarSense Explorer technology will make a fine companion.

A small note read, “________.” It was signed from Mary and Shelley. He and his wife Nancy had a unique letterbox installed about four years ago. It has many windows on the top and sides to let the light in. The inside is roomy, measuring 66 centimetres long, 38 centimetres wide and 25 centimetres high. It even has lights so that it is bright at night. “We could understand why dolls would want to move into such a nice mailbox, but we had no idea where they came from,” Don says. “I asked the neighbours whether anybody had left dolls in their mailboxes, and everyone told me no. So I thought, ‘This must just be a joke, and whoever left them here will come back to get them.’” A few days passed. Don and Nancy discovered the small couple had got a table, a bed and a pair of roller skates. “I also have a sense of humour, so I left a note of my own, saying that what the home really needed was a refrigerator full of food,” he says. The fridge was never delivered. But over the next several months, more things mysteriously showed up: a cooker, a dishwasher and a painting, to name a few. More than a year later, Mary and Shelley were still living rent-free in the letterbox, to the delight of neighbours who now follow Don’s updates on Orchard Lake Village’s Nextdoor page. Don first posted about the tiny couple on August 21, 2022, hoping that might help solve the mystery. “A homeless couple has lived inside our mailbox. I have included photos of what it all looks like, so you don’t think I’m making any of this up,” he wrote on Nextdoor. The Powells’ next-door neighbour, Terry Falahee, says he believes that Don did not move the dolls into the letterbox himself. It’s just somebody out there who is having some fun, giving us all a little community humour. Every month or two, particularly around holidays, the Powells find something new inside the box for Mary and Shelley. For Halloween 2022, the couple was given a pumpkin lantern, and at Christmas, a decorated tree was left with tiny presents. “It’s getting a little crowded, especially because their cousin Shirley has also moved in, along with a service dog named Maggie,” Don says. Don recently added a miniature letterbox since the family is getting more and more tiny letters from the community. 46. Which of the following best fits the blank? A. We’ve decided to live here. B. Welcome to our community. C. Congratulations, my neighbours. D. Mary and Shelly love the letterbox. 47. Which of the following statements about the Powells’ letterbox is right? A. It was put up in 2022 for Halloween. B. It was the biggest in the neighbourhood. C. It was carefully constructed by the Powells. D. It looked very much like a miniature room. 48. Which of the following was done by Don Powell for Mary and Shelly? A. Buying a refrigerator and filling it with food. B. Introducing the doll couple to the neighbours. C. Celebrating holidays together with the doll couple. D. Collecting rent money from Mary and Shelly. 49. Who are living together in the letterbox now? A. Don, Nancy, Mary and Shelly B. Don, Nancy, Shirley and Maggie C. Terry, Shelly, Maggie and Shirley D. Mary, Shelly, Maggie and Shirley 50. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A unique letterbox B. Tiny new neighbours C.

Read the passage and finish the form with ONE word in each blank. (0.5%×10=5%) Arthritis (关节炎) is a disease that affects different joints (关节), most commonly the knee, and also your hips, your ankles and your hands. It involves degeneration (退化) of cartilage (软骨), and also of the bone, the joint itself and production of fluid (润滑液). It’s a very common condition in middle to older age adults. Signs of the condition include stiff (僵硬) knees, swollen (肿) knees, and a cracking noise when you move the joint. Arthritis pain is a common struggle as you get old and while managing the pain may feel like an uphill battle, experts say there’s an exercise you can try to help your knee health. According to a recent study, bike riding is super good for knee health. The study was made up of 2,607 people with an average age of 64. They reported their bicycling frequency throughout their lifetime. Researchers checked for arthritis by taking x-rays of their knees. People who rode a bike, whether outdoors or indoors, reported less of frequent knee pain and were less likely to have knee arthritis. Then why is riding a bike great for your knees? “Bike riding has very low impact (冲击). The force that goes to your knee while you’re bike riding is a fraction (小部分) of what happens when you walk or run,” explained Daniel White, a professor in the department of physical therapy at the University of Delaware. However, even though it’s low impact, you still get the benefits of strengthening your muscles, exercising your cardiovascular (心血管) system, as well as other health benefits. “If you can do activities to strengthen the area while you are also decreasing the impact on the cartilage, then you should have less arthritis pain,” said Dr. Michael Yang, a sports medicine physician at Jefferson Health in Philadelphia. “Bicycling helps to strengthen the muscles around the knee, which also improves your knee joint health as a whole,” said Dr. Jessica Tomazic, a sports medicine doctor at the Cleveland Clinic. A (n) ____90____ to reduce knee pain The problem of arthritis Harm to the body: Degeneration of cartilage, the bone, the joint, production of fluid, etc. Symptoms (症状): Stiff, swollen joints, mainly the knee; A cracking ____91____ when moving. People likely affected: Adults of or ____92____ middle age. A recent study Subject (研究对象): 2,607 people ____93____ 64 on average. Data source: Reports from participants (参与者) on how ____94____ they ride a bike; X-ray check-up of their ____95____.

People make themselves into champions by their own efforts. Not many people know Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.
