Back then, his life on Sierra Leone's Nyangai Island seemed excellent. He spent endless hours playing with his friends on the island's white beaches. Whenever he wanted to avoid having to do his housework, he could simply disappear into the forest that covered much of the island. He remembers as recently as ten years ago, it still measured some 2, 300 feet from end to end. Today，Nyangai is disappearing before his very eyes, covered by the endless sea. The forests are gone. And the land on which Charlie's family home once stood, has long since disappeared beneath the waves. In fact, the local government has responded to the sharp increase of sea level by building a concrete (混凝土制的) seawall along the length of the town. But in the many smaller coastal towns and villages in the area, there simply aren't the resources. Then, the government made a project to protect some of the settlements by planting trees, but this has had limited success. With the population relying on woods for building and smoking­fish, few trees lived longer than the project, which ended in 2021. Sierra Leone has been identified as one of the world's most weak countries to the effects of climate change, despite having little influence on global CO2 emissions (排放). “Weak countries should be getting some support from wealthy nations to strengthen their climate defenses (防御)，” says Gabriel Kpaka, the head of the country's Meteorological Agency. “But we're not really seeing that.” With global sea level expected to rise by anywhere between 1 and 3 feet by the end of the century, along with an increase in extreme weather events, the experience of this West African island offers an understanding of the possible future of countless other low­lying areas around the world. 4.Why does the author tell Charlie's story in paragraph 1? A.To describe his wonderful life at present. B.To offer readers background information. C.To call on local people to protect the seen. D.To attract more visitors to Nyangai Island. 5.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The reasons for the changes on the island. B.The rich natural species in coastal areas. C.The measures taken to deal with rising sea level. D.The way to build a concrete seawall on the island. 6.What can be done to help Nyangai Island according to Kpaka? A.Local government should build a stronger seawall. B.Local people on the island limit their CO2 emissions. C.Countries in low­lying areas work together for their rights. D.Rich countries should offer support about climate defenses. 7.What is the author's attitude towards the future of other low­lying areas? A.Concerned. B.Doubtful. C.Uncertain. D.Positive.

The platform was developed jointly by the Dunhuang Academy and the Chinese tech firm Tencent. It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world. The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60，000 cultural relics dating from the 4th century to the 11th century unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century. On the platform, visitors can role­play and “time travel” to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures. The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini program. In the digital age, the model of “culture＋technology” has been introduced to promote the development of Chinese culture. The digitalization rate of China's precious cultural relics is now over 70 percent, according to the 2022 China Digital Collection Industry Research Report released by iResearch. Institutions such as the Palace Museum have also started online digital services of their own. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology allows the public to view the interior of the buildings through the Palace Museum's WeChat mini program. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation of cultural intellectual property(知识产权) by digital means. China Central Television has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the Dunhuang divine deer(神鹿) Youyou. It was created based on the image of the nine­colored deer from Dunhuang murals(壁画). The public can see the divine deer on CCTV's own digital platform. Digital collections cater_to the consumption habits of young people, who grow up in the information age. They not only protect the intellectual property of the collections but also bring the public closer to China's “excellent traditional culture”， noted Dunhuang Art Institute. Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy, told Xinhua that more efforts will be made to explore new forms for showing cultural relics and offer the public greater cultural experiences to develop Dunhuang culture. 8.What can visitors do on the interactive digital platform for the Mogao Grottoes' Library Cave?

Ⅱ.七选五 The Manly History of Knitting (编织) Knitting has seen a massive return lately. __1__ Today, it's mainly thought of as a woman's pastime (消遣), although more and more men are picking up knitting needles as well. That's not an odd thing at all—in fact, they're following in the footsteps of centuries of manly knitters. It's been suggested that the earliest roots of knitting were found in the minds and hands of fishermen. The theory, although it's unproven, says that catching fish one at a time with a single line was difficult and time­consuming.__2__They used the nets to catch fish, and the roots of knitting were born. The earliest knitted objects we have ever found are some pretty impressive Egyptian socks. The socks have some small, complex patterns on them. The art form had been just about perfected around the 10th century.__3__ It was something for the upper class. Knitted items were found in the tombs (墓) of Spanish royalty. In the 1400s came the establishment of guilds (公会) to teach the art of knitting. The guilds only consisted of males, and the process that was required to join them was extremely difficult. Teenage boys who were destined (注定) for the knitters' guild had six years of training ahead of them before they could even think about becoming an official knitter.__4__ The shift in knitting from a male­only occupation to a female­dominated hobby came in the Victorian era. With the invention of knitting machines, it was no longer necessary for tradesmen to go through all the years of training.__5__ By 1880, the idea of women knitting scarves, socks, and gloves for a lover was a notion romanticized in poetry. A.The history of knitting is a little foggy. B.Fishermen tied ropes together to form nets. C.Women began to take up knitting as a hobby. D.European knitting came around by 1275 or so. E.They would be required to create a knitted carpet. F.Social media is full of people sharing their latest creations. G.Men would then need to complete an entrance exam for the guild.

(欧洲针织大约在1275年左右出现。)”符合语境，且后文“It was something for the upper class.
