There is a common idea that China’s cities are sinking. However, Hu Xi, co-author of the study, said this idea isn’t right scientifically. “Almost every city has areas of sinking and uplift (上升),” Hu told the Intlcates science and technology media. The sinking of certain areas in a city does not mean the whole city is sinking. Human activities, like digging to build or taking out groundwater, are often the reason for it. What matters is how the areas are influenced and how quickly the land changes. In fact, during times of fast economic (经济的) development, the rate (速度) of land subsidence in China has been much slower compared to other countries. For example, in San Jose, California, US, certain areas sank by 1.2 meters between 1912 and 1933. This was the time when the area quickly developed. The subsidence rate in Tokyo, Japan, even reached 27 centimeters a year during the 1950s. However, the subsidence rates in major Chinese cities are still around a few millimeters a year. Even so, the government has taken action to slow down the sinking. The key is not taking out too much water from the ground. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (南水北调工程) is offering a helping hand to the country’s northern cities. Through this project, less water from the ground is used in northern areas and land subsidence in many areas of Beijing and Tianjin has stopped. Shanghai has also reduced yearly ground subsidence from around 10 mm in 1995 to 6 mm in 2023 through efforts such as improving the water supply system (供水系统) and closing deep wells, according to The Paper. 27. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Nearly half of China’s cities are sinking. B. The sinking of certain areas matters most. C. People needn’t worry too much about the sinking. D. Every city has areas of sinking and uplift. 28. Normally, when an area’s economy develops fast, the rate of land subsidence is _________. A. not influenced B. predictable C. high D. low 29. What action has Shanghai taken to stop land subsidence? A. Using less groundwater. B. Using water from southern cities. C. Encouraging people to save water. D. Using recycled water. 30. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To show the rate of land subsidence in China. B. To discuss land subsidence and present solutions. C. To explain the different causes of land subsidence. D. To introduce the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. 【答案】27. C 28. C 29. A 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了地面沉降的原因及其应对措施。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Almost every city has areas of sinking and uplift (上升), ”和“The sinking of certain areas in a city does not mean the whole city is sinking.”及通读第二段内容，每个地区都有下沉和上升，某个地方的下沉不代表整个城市都下沉，所以人们不必过于担心。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In fact, during times of fast economic (经济的) development, the rate (速度) of land subsidence in China has been much slower compared to other countries.”及后文举例可知，通常一个地区经济快速发展时，地面沉降速度较高。 故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Shanghai has also reduced yearly ground subsidence from around 10 mm in 1995 to 6 mm in 2023 through efforts such as improving the water supply system (供水系统) and closing deep wells,” 可知上海采取了减少使用地下水等措施来阻止地面沉降。故选A。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Even so, the government has taken action to slow down the sinking.”和文章整体内容可知，本文主要讨论了中国城市的地面沉降问题并介绍了相应的解决措施。故选B。 第 II 卷 (非选择题共 45 分) 三、词汇运用 (共 10 小题、满分 10 分) 根据首字母或汉语提示，在答题卡上写出下列句子中单词的完全形式。 31.

In 2023, micro-dramas made more than 35 billion yuan, the same as 70 percent of the money made by China’s film industry, reported China Daily on Sep 27. Chinese micro-dramas are also going strong around the world. Sensor Tower, a US company, said that over 40 apps for watching the dramas have entered the global (全球) market. By early 2024, these apps already had around 55 million downloads. One of them, ReelShort, has been downloaded more times than Netflix on the Apple Store in the US, reported Reuters. International viewers (观众) find these micro-dramas exciting to watch, reported Xinhua. The stories are usually fast-paced (快节奏的) and have many surprising twists (转折). This keeps people’s attention and makes them fun, Liu Jinlong, head of the app Short TV, told Xinhua. The short length of the dramas adds to their popularity. Each episode (集) may last from only tens of seconds to two minutes. People can finish a micro-drama in short periods of time, such as on their way to work. Going forward, micro-dramas could open new doors for China’s cultural exports (输出), noted MIT Technology Review. However, one challenge to be solved is that many of them have similar themes. The dramas should cover more topics, not just the usual ones like time travel, Li Jiang, head of Dianzhong Tech, a company in Beijing, told China Daily. 51.

The dramas should cover more topics. 54. Time travel. 55. Chinese micro-dramas are popular and have a great influence. They are fast-paced and interesting, but also need to improve in theme diversity. （答案不唯一，可根据文章内容合理表达对微短剧的看法。） 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国微剧的流行，以及它所面临的局限性。 【51题详解】 根据“In 2023, micro-dramas made more than 35 billion yuan, the same as 70 percent of the money made by China’s film industry, reported China Daily on Sep 27.”可知，2023年，微剧票房超过350亿元，相当于中国电影行业总收入的70%。也就是中国电影行业的总收入超过350÷70%=500亿元。故填China’s film industry made about 50 billion yuan in 2023. 【52题详解】 根据“International viewers (观众) find these micro-dramas exciting to watch, reported Xinhua. The stories are usually fast-paced (快节奏的) and have many surprising twists (转折).”可知，国际观众认为这些微剧很刺激是因为这些故事通常是快节奏的，并且有许多令人惊讶的转折，这既能吸引人们的注意力，又能让节目变得有趣。故填Because the stories are usually fast-paced and have many surprising twists. This keeps people’s attention and makes them fun. 【53题详解】 根据“However, one challenge to be solved is that many of them have similar themes. The dramas should cover more topics, not just the usual ones”可知，微剧需要解决的一个挑战是，许多微剧都有相似的主题，应该涵盖更多的主题。故填Many of them have similar themes. The dramas should cover more topics. 【54题详解】 根据“The dramas should cover more topics, not just the usual ones like time travel”可知，文中提到的微剧主题是时光穿越，故填Time travel. 【55题详解】 此题答案不唯一。阅读文章可知，微剧是流行的，而且有很大的影响。它们节奏快而有趣，但是在主题上需要进一步改进。故填Chinese micro-dramas are popular and have a great influence. They are fast-paced and interesting, but also need to improve in theme diversity. 六、写作 (共 1 题，满分 15 分) 56. 中国的传统节日春节就要到了。假如你是李华，请根据以下提示，给你的外教 Mr. White 写一封电子邮件，邀请他及家人到你家共度春节。 1. 提出邀请； 2. 简单介绍春节； 3. 表达新春祝愿。 注意： 1.文章必须包括以上所有内容，可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 3.90 词左右。 Dear Mr. White, I’m writing to invite you to spend the Spring Festival with my family. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes!

In her later years, she lived in a life-care center due to Alzheime’s Disease. One day I was heartbroken to know that my mom didn’t know I was her son any longer. She would often ask, “Now, what was your name?” and I would tell her my name and that I was her son. She would smile and reach for my hand. On one of my visits, I stopped by the local shop and bought my mother a strawberry milk shake. She drank it slowly one bit at a time. After she finished the milk shake, she lay down on the bed for a rest, remaining awake and satisfied. Without a word, I pulled a chair close to the bed and reached over to hold her hand. After about 10 minutes, I felt her give my hand a squeeze (压). There was sure. The words were short but I knew what she was saying without having to hear any words. I gave her hand two soft squeezes. She turned her head and gave me a loving smile. She quietly said, “It’s important to have someone who loves you.” I cried. They were tears of joy. I gave her a warm hug, told her how much I loved her, and left. My mother passed away shortly after that. Very few words were spoken that day, but those she spoke were words of gold. I will always treasure those special moments. 19. With Alzheimer’s Disease, a person_______.

They play different kinds of music, from traditional Thai songs to famous music written by Beethoven. People of all ages enjoy their performances, but what makes them really special is that these musicians are elephants! These clever elephants are part of the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC), a place that helps protect elephants and teaches people how to care for these gentle giants. The TECC also encourages elephants to paint, as some zoos do around the world. Richard Lair, an expert working with the TECC, thought that elephants are smart and have great hearing, so they could do even more. He came up with the idea to see if elephants could play music. So, Lair and his friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra (乐团). During performances, the elephants play instruments like drums and xylophones (木琴). They also use their trunks and voices to make different sounds. Lair believes that elephants don’t just copy their trainers, they create their own music. They are very creative and can produce unique sounds. This orchestra is not just for fun. The elephants’ music helps raise money for the TECC and help people know about the importance of protecting elephants. The music also shows how smart these animals are, which helps people understand that elephants need respect and care. The Thai Elephant Orchestra has become famous, and the music they create has even been recorded on CDs. People around the world can now listen to the amazing sounds made by these musical elephants, which also helps to support their protection. 23. Why are the musicians mentioned in the first paragraph different from others? A. They are a group of elephants. B. They only play Beethoven’s music. C. They are loved by people of all ages. D. They can use traditional instruments. 24. Why did Richard Lair start the Thai Elephant Orchestra? A. He had heard elephants playing music before. B. He believed playing music is good for elephants. C. He wanted to explore elephants’ musical talents. D. He wanted to show people how to care for elephants. 25. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. How the elephants perform together. B. How the orchestra made a difference. C. What people think about the music. D. What else the elephants can do. 26. What influence has the Thai Elephant Orchestra had? A. It has spread traditional Thai music. B. It has attracted tourists to Thailand. C. It has helped protect elephants. D. It has inspired musicians to be creative. D Research recently published in the journal Science studied land subsidence (地面沉降) in China’s major cities. There is a common idea that China’s cities are sinking. However, Hu Xi, co-author of the study, said this idea isn’t right scientifically. “Almost every city has areas of sinking and uplift (上升),” Hu told the Intlcates science and technology media. The sinking of certain areas in a city does not mean the whole city is sinking. Human activities, like digging to build or taking out groundwater, are often the reason for it. What matters is how the areas are influenced and how quickly the land changes. In fact, during times of fast economic (经济的) development, the rate (速度) of land subsidence in China has been much slower compared to other countries. For example, in San Jose, California, US, certain areas sank by 1.2 meters between 1912 and 1933. This was the time when the area quickly developed. The subsidence rate in Tokyo, Japan, even reached 27 centimeters a year during the 1950s. However, the subsidence rates in major Chinese cities are still around a few millimeters a year. Even so, the government has taken action to slow down the sinking. The key is not taking out too much water from the ground. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (南水北调工程) is offering a helping hand to the country’s northern cities. Through this project, less water from the ground is used in northern areas and land subsidence in many areas of Beijing and Tianjin has stopped. Shanghai has also reduced yearly ground subsidence from around 10 mm in 1995 to 6 mm in 2023 through efforts such as improving the water supply system (供水系统) and closing deep wells, according to The Paper. 27. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Nearly half of China’s cities are sinking. B. The sinking of certain areas matters most. C. People needn’t worry too much about the sinking. D. Every city has areas of sinking and uplift. 28. Normally, when an area’s economy develops fast, the rate of land subsidence is _________. A. not influenced B. predictable C. high D. low 29. What action has Shanghai taken to stop land subsidence? A. Using less groundwater. B. Using water from southern cities. C. Encouraging people to save water. D. Using recycled water. 30. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To show the rate of land subsidence in China. B. To discuss land subsidence and present solutions. C. To explain the different causes of land subsidence. D To introduce the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. 第 II 卷 (非选择题共 45 分) 三、词汇运用 (共 10 小题、满分 10 分) 根据首字母或汉语提示，在答题卡上写出下列句子中单词的完全形式。 31.
