Since 1972, Wang has restored over 100 precious ancient buildings. At the age of 22 Wang joined the cultural relics working committee of Shanxi Province working on surveys, mapping, and restoration of ancient buildings. For years, he roamed the wilderness, devoting himself to the preservation of temples and pagodas (佛塔). At that time, many valuable historical buildings had suffered severe damage from natural elements, leaving them ruined and on the edge of collapse. Wang saw himself as a “firefighter” on the front lines, racing against time to rescue these structures. In his early 20s, Wang once dreamed of a more attractive city life and even considered changing jobs. But witnessing the devotion and sacrifice of senior experts changed his mind. One day, while accompanying Chinese architectural historian Luo Zhewen to inspect the Wooden Pagoda of Yingxian county, Wang watched as Luo — despite being in his sixties — climbed shaky beams (横梁) inside the tower without any safety railing. This commitment deeply moved him. “I must pass the mission of protecting ancient buildings to younger generations, turning our pioneers’ spirit into action,” Wang said. Thanks to the painstaking efforts of Wang and his colleagues over the decades, an increasing number of ancient buildings across Shanxi, such as Foguang Temple, Chongfu Temple, Guandi Temple, Jinci Temple’s Shengmu Hall, and Xuankong Temple, have been revitalized and opened to the public. After retiring from his job, Wang’s love for ancient architecture has not diminished a bit. He immersed himself in research, learned woodworking techniques, created models of Dougong, and published many monographs and papers. “I have had an inseparable bond with ancient buildings throughout my life. I feel deeply pleased to contribute a little to the conservation of ancient architectural culture,” Wang said. 4. Which of the following best describes Wang according to the first two paragraphs? A. A highly skilled craftsman. B. A knowledgeable architect. C. A dedicated preservationist. D. A widely influential historian. 5 What does paragraph 3 indicate about the ancient building restoration? A. It is a slow and complex process. B. It has significant cultural impacts. C. It needs great efforts and funding. D. It is extremely important and urgent. 6. How did Luo’ s deed influence Wang? A. It pushed him to change his major. B. It started his love for ancient buildings. C. It inspired him to stick to his work. D. It fueled his desire to become an architect. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Challenges of Restoring Ancient Architecture B. Lifelong Dedication to Restoring Ancient Buildings C. The Path to Becoming an Architectural Preservationist D. The Role of Senior Experts in Cultural Heritage Preservation 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了古建筑修复专家王永先一生致力于古建筑修复工作的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Wang Yongxian, who was born in 1950 in Taiyuan, the capital of north China’s Shanxi Province, is a Chinese expert in the restoration of ancient Chinese buildings. Since 1972, Wang has restored over 100 precious ancient buildings. (王永先，1950年出生于中国北方山西省省会太原，是中国古代建筑修复专家。自1972年以来，王永先已修复了100多处珍贵古建筑。)”以及第二段最后一句“For years, he roamed the wilderness, devoting himself to the preservation of temples and pagodas (佛塔). (多年来，他在荒野中四处游历，致力于寺庙和佛塔的保护工作。)”可知，王永先多年来致力于古建筑修复，修复了100多座珍贵古建筑，在野外奔波保护寺庙和佛塔。由此可推断出他是一个有奉献精神的保护主义者。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At that time, many valuable historical buildings had suffered severe damage from natural elements, leaving them ruined and on the edge of collapse. Wang saw himself as a “firefighter” on the front lines, racing against time to rescue these structures. (当时，许多珍贵的历史建筑因自然因素遭受了严重破坏，变得破败不堪，濒临倒塌。王将自己视为前线的“消防员”，争分夺秒地抢救这些建筑。)”可推知，古建筑修复极其重要且紧迫。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One day, while accompanying Chinese architectural historian Luo Zhewen to inspect the Wooden Pagoda of Yingxian county, Wang watched as Luo — despite being in his sixties — climbed shaky beams (横梁) inside the tower without any safety railing. This commitment deeply moved him. “I must pass the mission of protecting ancient buildings to younger generations, turning our pioneers’ spirit into action,” Wang said. (有一天，在陪同中国建筑史学家罗哲文考察应县木塔时，王永先看到六十多岁的罗哲文（音译）攀爬塔内没有任何安全栏杆的摇晃横梁。这份执着深深打动了他。王永先说：“我必须将保护古建筑的使命传递给年轻一代，将前辈们的精神转化为行动。”)”可知，罗的奉献行为激励了王永先坚持自己的工作。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了古建筑修复专家王永先从年轻时投身古建筑修复工作，到退休后依然热爱古建筑，一生致力于古建筑修复，为古建筑文化的保护做出贡献的故事。B选项“Lifelong Dedication to Restoring Ancient Buildings (一生致力于古建筑修复)”能精准概况文章主旨，适宜用作标题。故选B项。 C On September 26, 2022, NASA successfully completed its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission by intentionally crashing an unmanned spacecraft into the asteroid(小行星) Dimorphos. The goal was not to destroy the asteroid but to change its orbit. With the successful mission, NASA proved the concept that this technique could keep a potentially dangerous asteroid from crashing into Earth in the future. Dimorphos is a small asteroid orbiting the larger asteroid Didymos. NASA noted that Dimorphos is not a threat to Earth, but because it passes relatively close to Earth, it was chosen as the target for the test mission. Although the intended crash should change the asteroid’s position slightly, it will add to a major shift over time. “If you were going to do this for planetary defense, you would do it 5, 10, 15, or 20 years in advance for this technique to work,” said NASA program executive Andrea Riley. “This is why we test. We want to do it now rather than when there’s an actual need.” Asteroids can pose a significant threat to planet Earth. For example, around 66 million years ago, an asteroid around 6 to 9 miles across struck the Earth in what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. The resulting impact was so catastrophic(灾难性) that it caused one of the largest extinction events in Earth’s history. Therefore, DART’s success is an important step forward in protecting the planet from potential damage from an asteroid. This shows humans are no longer powerless to prevent this type of natural disaster. The DART spacecraft was launched by NASA on November 24, 2021. It was accompanied by another craft called LICIACube, supplied by the Italian Space Agency, and separated from DART just 15 days before the crash. LICIACube remained in orbit around the asteroid and took photographs of the crash and material ejected(弹出) from the asteroid’s surface. 8. What is the purpose of the DART mission? A. To destroy Dimorphos completely. B. To change the orbit of Dimorphos. C. To track potentially dangerous asteroids. D. To prevent Dimorphos from hitting the Earth. 9. How can we describe the test according to Andrea Riley? A. Better late than never. B. Rob Peter to pay Paul. C. Prepare for a rainy day. D. Bark up the wrong tree. 10. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 4? A. To prove the significance of DART’s success. B. To present the effect of the largest extinction events on humans. C. To explain the difficulty of protecting the Earth from asteroid strikes. D. To show the necessity of conducting research on natural disasters. 11. What is LICIACube intended for? A. Recording the crash test with photos. B. Collecting rock samples from Dimorphos’s surface. C. Providing additional energy for the DART spacecraft. D. Increasing the force of crashing the DART spacecraft into Dimorphos. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述美国国家航天局完成了让太空飞船撞击小行星的测试，成功使小行星偏转，这是世界上首次进行行星防御试验。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The goal was not to destroy the asteroid but to change its orbit.(目标不是摧毁这颗小行星，而是改变它的轨道)”可知，DART任务的目标是改变小行星Dimorphos的轨道。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘If you were going to do this for planetary defense, you would do it 5, 10, 15, or 20 years in advance for this technique to work,’ said NASA program executive Andrea Riley. ‘This is why we test. We want to do it now rather than when there’s an actual need.’(‘如果你要为行星防御做这件事，你会提前5年、10年、15年或20年，让这项技术发挥作用。’美国宇航局项目主管Andrea Riley说。‘这就是我们进行测试的原因。我们希望现在就行动，而不是等到真正有需要的时候。’)”可知，Andrea Riley认为这项测试是提前为行星防御作准备，是未雨绸缪的行为。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“For example, around 66 million years ago, an asteroid around 6 to 9 miles across struck the Earth in what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. The resulting impact was so catastrophic(灾难性的) that it caused one of the largest extinction events in Earth’s history.(例如，大约6600万年前，一颗直径约6到9英里的小行星在现在的尤卡坦半岛撞击了地球。由此产生的撞击是灾难性的，造成了地球历史上最大的灭绝事件之一)”举例说明小行星撞击地球造成的灾难性的后果，结合本段最后两句“Therefore, DART’s success is an important step forward in protecting the planet from potential damage from an asteroid. This shows humans are no longer powerless to prevent this type of natural disaster.(因此，DART的成功是保护地球免受小行星潜在破坏的重要一步。这表明人类不再无力阻止这类自然灾害)”可知，本段提及小行星撞击地球造成灾难性后果的事例，是为了表明DART成功的重要意义，这表明人类不再无力阻止这类自然灾害，故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“LICIACube remained in orbit around the asteroid and took photographs of the crash and material ejected(弹出) from the asteroid’s surface.(LICIACube留在小行星周围的轨道上，拍摄了撞击和小行星表面喷出物质的照片)”可知，LICIACube飞船的目的是用照片记录撞击试验。故选A。 D The needs of plus-size consumers have long been the elephant in the room of the fashion industry until body positivity and fat acceptance movements promoted the slogan that large-bodied people are not those who are left behind. This size-inclusive(尺码包容)trend has become so popular that it is influencing mainstream culture. As a result, fashion brands have finally decided to extend their size ranges. In 2022, the plus-size market grew twice as fast as the standard size market in both North America and the UK. Yet, many consumers say fashion brands broadening their ranges are not truly inclusive. “Inclusive sizing means that all bodies are included in fashion, not just the ones who fit in standard sizes,” says Marie Southard Ospina, a UK-based plus-size girl. “However, what many designers do right now is pick a number that they think is big enough to include plus sizes and stop. This is even more disrespectful.” Researchers also note that some brands are just taking advantage of the trend. “Brands that used to promote so-called perfect bodies in their advertisements are now trying to get in on the trend by adding a few sizes. It doesn’t feel like they really care about plus-size people,” says Tom Burgess, analyst in fashion industry. “If brands cared about large-bodied consumers, then it wouldn’t have taken until now to acknowledge that they exist,” he says. “It gives the impression that companies are just trying to gain a share of the market without a real commitment to the community.” The fashion industry must go beyond merely producing clothing in a range of sizes if they hope to succeed with a body-diverse world. The whole industry has to connect on a personal level with consumers. That involves showing shoppers that they are seen, understood and important to brands. “Consumers care about values, and so they want to buy from brands that reflect the values they believe in. Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion options,” says Ludovica Cesareo, professor of marketing at the College of Business in the US. 12. What do the underlined words “the elephant in the room” mean in the first paragraph? A. The hot issue that is valued. B. The obvious truth that is ignored. C. The important principle that is recognized. D. The common phenomenon that is criticized. 13. Why do consumers say fashion brands are not truly inclusive? A. They pick sizes randomly. B. They offer limited plus sizes. C. They treat designers disrespectfully. D. They haven’t broadened standard sizes. 14. What is researchers’ attitude towards some brands? A. Appreciative. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Critical. 15. What does the last paragraph imply? A. All buyers deserve fashion that fits their figure. B. Consumers prefer brands with personalized values. C. Brands should catch up with the size-inclusive trend. D. A good brand image is critical in the fashion industry. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了很多品牌推出了加码衣服，却只是为了迎合尺码包容这一趋势，而并非真正的满足客户的需要。品牌如果真的想要取得成功，就需要关心消费者的价值观。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分下文“until body positivity and fat acceptance movements promoted the slogan that large-bodied people are not those who are left behind(直到“体型积极”和“接纳肥胖”运动宣扬了“身材肥胖的人不应被遗忘”这一理念。)”可知，在体型积极和接纳肥胖的运动提出口号之前，大尺码消费者的需求一直被忽视。“the elephant in the room”用来表示显而易见却被忽视的事情，这里指大尺码消费者的需求长期被时尚行业忽视，B选项“被忽视的明显事实”符合语境。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, what many designers do right now is pick a number that they think is big enough to include plus sizes and stop. This is even more disrespectful.(然而，如今许多设计师所做的只是挑选一个他们认为足够大、可以归入大码范畴的尺码，然后就止步不前了。这种做法甚至更不尊重人。)”可知，消费者认为时尚品牌不是真正包容的，是因为他们提供的大码服装有限。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Brands that used to promote so-called perfect bodies in their advertisements are now trying to get in on the trend by adding a few sizes. It doesn’t feel like they really care about plus-size people.(那些过去在广告中宣扬所谓完美身材的品牌，如今正试图通过增加一些尺码来跟风。感觉他们并不是真正关心大码人群。)”和“It gives the impression that companies are just trying to gain a share of the market without a real commitment to the community.(这给人的印象是，这些公司只是试图在市场上分得一杯羹，并没有真正致力于满足（大码人群所在的）群体的需求。)”可知，研究人员认为一些品牌只是为了跟风而增加一些尺码，并非真正关心大尺码消费者，只是想在市场上获得份额，对这些品牌持批评态度。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Consumers care about values, and so they want to buy from brands that reflect the values they believe in. Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion options,” says Ludovica Cesareo, professor of marketing at the College of Business in the US.(美国商学院的市场营销学教授卢多维卡・切萨雷奥表示：“消费者在意价值观，所以他们希望从那些体现他们所信奉价值观的品牌处购物。每个人都应该享有同样范围的时尚选择。”)”可推知，所有买家都应该得到适合他们身材的时尚服装。故选A。 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。 Johannes Gutenberg--the ploneer of the printing press Johannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium (千年) by the media (媒体). You may not be familiar with him.___16___Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.

In 1428, he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years.___17___Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass (大批量) production of books.___18___That means that each copy of the Catholic bible (圣经) and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by men. Gutenberg fashioned a font (字体) of over 300 characters, far larger than the fonts of today. To make this possible, he invented the variable-width mold (模具) and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century. ___19___The between 1450 and 1455,while preparing to produce a large Latin Bible, Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books, a calendar, and a papal Letter of Indulgence. The Bible of 42 Lines, the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world, was completed by August 15,1456. The invention of the modem printing press changed the way information was delivered.___20___Even today in the computer age, we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction, information, and for the pleasure of reading literature. A. Gutenberg made the world a much richer place B. But he has certainly influenced your life in some ways C. Gutenberg's idea was one of the greatest of all mankind D. By 1450, Gutenberg was back in Mainz at work on a printing press E. In fact, this invention contributed a lot of educating the masses (大众) worldwide F. Before the spread of Gutenberg's idea, books were primarily handwritten G. It was in Strasbourg that he probably made his first experiments with moveable type and printing 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了印刷行业的先驱----印刷机的发明人约翰内斯·古登堡，他被媒体选为过去一千年里最重要的人物。 【16题详解】 根据上文“You may not be familiar with him. (你可能并不熟悉他。)”和下文“Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books. (Gutenberg因发明了印刷机而受到赞扬，从而为印刷书籍铺平了道路。)”可知设空处应过渡到要说他成为一个有影响力的人物，所以B项“但是他确实在一些方面影响了你的生活。”承上启下，起到过渡的作用。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“In 1428, he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years. (1428年，他搬到了斯特拉斯堡，在那里住了将近20年)。可推断下文应是他在Strasbourg发生的事情，Strasbourg是关键信息词，故 G项“正是在Strasbourg，他可能用活字印刷做了他的第一次试验。”符合句意。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass (大批量) production of books. (Gutenberg在书籍的大量生产方面使用了他对金属制品的技能。)”和下文“That means that each copy of the Catholic bible (圣经) and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by men. (那就意味着每本天主教圣经以及所有的73本书全部都是penmen精心手写的。)”可知设空处应该是写那个时期没有硬刷术之前，主要是手写一些著作，所以F项“在Gutenberg的方法传播之前，文学著作主要都是手写的。”符合上下文语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据下文“The between 1450 and 1455,while preparing to produce a large Latin Bible, Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books, a calendar, and a papal Letter of Indulgence. (在1450年到1455年之间，古登堡在准备制作一本大本拉丁文《圣经》的同时，被认为印刷了一些小书、一本日历和一封教皇的宽赦信。)”可知设空处应描写1450年之前他所做的事情，故D项“到1450年为止，Gutenberg回到Mainz致力于印刷机的工作。”符合句意。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The invention of the modem printing press changed the way information was delivered. (现代印刷机的发现改变了信息的传递方式。)” 可知本段主要介绍的是印刷机发性的意义，故E项“事实上，这项发明也对全世界的大众教育起到积极作用。”符合上下文语境。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(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人空白处的最佳选项。 I worked for nine years at the most entertaining job in the world!

She felt sick and her knees were shaking. She always felt sick during the exam week. She had two more exams that day and physics was the first. She really hated physics. Terry glanced back at her from the front of the queue and then looked away quickly. She didn’t have a problem with physics. She didn’t have a problem with anything ... Little Miss Perfect!  Terry was looking back at her again. “So what’s wrong with her?” Nina standing behind Mo had noticed Terry looking back at them. “I thought you were friends.” ”Yeah, so did I,” said Mo, “She’d promised to help me revise for the physics exam, but then just ignored all my calls and texts. Nina was trying to look sympathetic. However, it was time to go into the exam room. Mo gave Nina a worried look and followed them. She had been staring at question number five for at least ten minutes without any clue, when she looked up. Terry was sitting a few rows in front of her to the right and Mo couldn’t believe her eyes! She had her phone on her left knee and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good grades? She just felt really angry at Terry. She almost put her hand up to tell Mr Reed, but Terry had already put her phone away when Mo looked up again. She looked back over her shoulder at Mo and smiled sadly. It wasn’t fair! Mo never cheated and she was often in trouble for failing exams, while Little Miss Perfect had been cheating all this time. The next exam was history, which was Mo’s favorite and best subject but it didn’t help her feel any better. She was furious with Terry. She wanted to talk to her but she’d left instantly the exam had finished and now Mo couldn’t find her. She didn’t know what to do. Should she tell a teacher? Just then, Mr Reed walked past her table on his way out. “Mr Reed!” called Mo before she could stop herself. 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右; (2) 开头已给出。 Paragrpa 1: Mr Reed asked Mo to look up in the next exam and nod if she saw that Terry had her phone out. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragrpa 2: Mo was walking towards the school gate when she heard Terry calling her behind. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文1 Mr. Reed asked Mo to look up in the next exam and nod if she saw that Terry had her phone out. Mo made sure she was sitting behind Terry again in the history exam. When she noticed Terry took her phone out under the table, Mo looked up and nodded to Mr. Reed. Terry was too busy with her phone to even hear him approaching. He didn’t say a word, just took her exam paper, tore it in half and told Terry to leave the room. Terry started crying as she walked to the door. Everyone was staring at her and Mo felt a strange mixture of emotions. She knew she had done the right thing by reporting the cheating, but seeing Terry so distraught made her uneasy. Mo was walking towards the school gate when she heard Terry calling her behind. Mo could see that Terry had been crying, her face pale and her eyes red. She felt sorry she had been avoiding Mo lately because her dad was seriously ill and he had an operation that day, so she was trying to text her mum to see how the operation was going when Mr. Reed caught her. “ I know it’s rather stupid to take my phone out during the examination. Will you forgive me?” said Terry in a shivering voice. Mo took a deep breath and said, “Terry, of course I forgive you. You already feel the pain brought by the mistake you made.” Retaking the exam is hard, but a teenager has to learn to reflect, grow, and eventually become a better self-disciplined person. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了考试期间Mo发现一直成绩优异的Terry在物理考试中作弊，Mo经过思想斗争后向老师举报，导致Terry在历史考试中被抓现行，事后Mo才得知Terry是因父亲手术而冒险使用手机联系家人。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段句首内容“老师让Mo在下场考试时留意，如果看见Terry拿出手机就点头示意。”可知，第一段可描写Mo按照老师指示监视Terry，发现其考试作弊后举报，导致Terry被当场抓包、试卷被撕，并逐出考场的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“当Mo走向校门时，突然听见身后传来Terry的呼喊声。”可知，第二段可描写Terry追上莫，哭着解释自己因父亲手术而冒险用手机联系母亲，并诚恳道歉。两人从这次考试作弊事件中获得成长启示。 2. 续写线索：老师授意监控→考场布局→作弊现场→严厉处罚→情绪冲突→真相揭露→道歉与原谅→成长启示 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①看：look up→glance up/peer/observe ②点头示意：nod→signal/gesture/incline head ③问询：ask→request/instruct/direct ④喊叫：call→shout/yell/exclaim 情绪类 ①感到不适：felt sick→felt unwell ②不安：uneasy→uncomfortable/restless ③痛苦：pain →anguish/ suffering ④感到抱歉：felt sorry→regretted/apologetic 【点睛】【高分句型1】When she noticed Terry took her phone out under the table, Mo looked up and nodded to Mr. Reed. （运用了when引导时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Mo could see that Terry had been crying, her face pale and her eyes red. （运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 成都外国语学校2024-2025学年度下期半期考试 高二英语试卷 注意事项： 1．本堂考试120分钟，满分150分; 2．答题前，考生务必先将自己的姓名、学号填写在答题卡上，并用2B铅笔填涂。 3．考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．When will the speakers meet?

B Wang Yongxian, who was born in 1950 in Taiyuan, the capital of north China’s Shanxi Province, is a Chinese expert in the restoration of ancient Chinese buildings. Since 1972, Wang has restored over 100 precious ancient buildings. At the age of 22, Wang joined the cultural relics working committee of Shanxi Province working on surveys, mapping, and restoration of ancient buildings. For years, he roamed the wilderness, devoting himself to the preservation of temples and pagodas (佛塔). At that time, many valuable historical buildings had suffered severe damage from natural elements, leaving them ruined and on the edge of collapse. Wang saw himself as a “firefighter” on the front lines, racing against time to rescue these structures. In his early 20s, Wang once dreamed of a more attractive city life and even considered changing jobs. But witnessing the devotion and sacrifice of senior experts changed his mind. One day, while accompanying Chinese architectural historian Luo Zhewen to inspect the Wooden Pagoda of Yingxian county, Wang watched as Luo — despite being in his sixties — climbed shaky beams (横梁) inside the tower without any safety railing. This commitment deeply moved him. “I must pass the mission of protecting ancient buildings to younger generations, turning our pioneers’ spirit into action,” Wang said. Thanks to the painstaking efforts of Wang and his colleagues over the decades, an increasing number of ancient buildings across Shanxi, such as Foguang Temple, Chongfu Temple, Guandi Temple, Jinci Temple’s Shengmu Hall, and Xuankong Temple, have been revitalized and opened to the public. After retiring from his job, Wang’s love for ancient architecture has not diminished a bit. He immersed himself in research, learned woodworking techniques, created models of Dougong, and published many monographs and papers. “I have had an inseparable bond with ancient buildings throughout my life. I feel deeply pleased to contribute a little to the conservation of ancient architectural culture,” Wang said. 4. Which of the following best describes Wang according to the first two paragraphs? A. A highly skilled craftsman. B. A knowledgeable architect. C. A dedicated preservationist. D. A widely influential historian. 5. What does paragraph 3 indicate about the ancient building restoration? A. It is a slow and complex process. B. It has significant cultural impacts. C. It needs great efforts and funding. D. It is extremely important and urgent. 6. How did Luo’ s deed influence Wang? A. It pushed him to change his major. B. It started his love for ancient buildings. C. It inspired him to stick to his work. D. It fueled his desire to become an architect. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Challenges of Restoring Ancient Architecture B. Lifelong Dedication to Restoring Ancient Buildings C. The Path to Becoming an Architectural Preservationist D. The Role of Senior Experts in Cultural Heritage Preservation C On September 26, 2022, NASA successfully completed its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission by intentionally crashing an unmanned spacecraft into the asteroid(小行星) Dimorphos. The goal was not to destroy the asteroid but to change its orbit. With the successful mission, NASA proved the concept that this technique could keep a potentially dangerous asteroid from crashing into Earth in the future. Dimorphos is a small asteroid orbiting the larger asteroid Didymos. NASA noted that Dimorphos is not a threat to Earth, but because it passes relatively close to Earth, it was chosen as the target for the test mission. Although the intended crash should change the asteroid’s position slightly, it will add to a major shift over time. “If you were going to do this for planetary defense, you would do it 5, 10, 15, or 20 years in advance for this technique to work,” said NASA program executive Andrea Riley. “This is why we test. We want to do it now rather than when there’s an actual need.” Asteroids can pose a significant threat to planet Earth. For example, around 66 million years ago, an asteroid around 6 to 9 miles across struck the Earth in what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. The resulting impact was so catastrophic(灾难性的) that it caused one of the largest extinction events in Earth’s history. Therefore, DART’s success is an important step forward in protecting the planet from potential damage from an asteroid. This shows humans are no longer powerless to prevent this type of natural disaster. The DART spacecraft was launched by NASA on November 24, 2021. It was accompanied by another craft called LICIACube, supplied by the Italian Space Agency, and separated from DART just 15 days before the crash. LICIACube remained in orbit around the asteroid and took photographs of the crash and material ejected(弹出) from the asteroid’s surface. 8. What is the purpose of the DART mission? A. To destroy Dimorphos completely. B. To change the orbit of Dimorphos. C. To track potentially dangerous asteroids. D. To prevent Dimorphos from hitting the Earth. 9. How can we describe the test according to Andrea Riley? A Better late than never. B. Rob Peter to pay Paul. C. Prepare for a rainy day. D. Bark up the wrong tree. 10. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 4? A. To prove the significance of DART’s success. B. To present the effect of the largest extinction events on humans. C. To explain the difficulty of protecting the Earth from asteroid strikes. D. To show the necessity of conducting research on natural disasters. 11. What is LICIACube intended for? A. Recording the crash test with photos. B. Collecting rock samples from Dimorphos’s surface. C. Providing additional energy for the DART spacecraft. D. Increasing the force of crashing the DART spacecraft into Dimorphos. D The needs of plus-size consumers have long been the elephant in the room of the fashion industry until body positivity and fat acceptance movements promoted the slogan that large-bodied people are not those who are left behind. This size-inclusive(尺码包容)trend has become so popular that it is influencing mainstream culture. As a result, fashion brands have finally decided to extend their size ranges. In 2022, the plus-size market grew twice as fast as the standard size market in both North America and the UK. Yet, many consumers say fashion brands broadening their ranges are not truly inclusive. “Inclusive sizing means that all bodies are included in fashion, not just the ones who fit in standard sizes,” says Marie Southard Ospina, a UK-based plus-size girl. “However, what many designers do right now is pick a number that they think is big enough to include plus sizes and stop. This is even more disrespectful.” Researchers also note that some brands are just taking advantage of the trend. “Brands that used to promote so-called perfect bodies in their advertisements are now trying to get in on the trend by adding a few sizes. It doesn’t feel like they really care about plus-size people,” says Tom Burgess, analyst in fashion industry. “If brands cared about large-bodied consumers, then it wouldn’t have taken until now to acknowledge that they exist,” he says. “It gives the impression that companies are just trying to gain a share of the market without a real commitment to the community.” The fashion industry must go beyond merely producing clothing in a range of sizes if they hope to succeed with a body-diverse world. The whole industry has to connect on a personal level with consumers. That involves showing shoppers that they are seen, understood and important to brands. “Consumers care about values, and so they want to buy from brands that reflect the values they believe in. Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion options,” says Ludovica Cesareo, professor of marketing at the College of Business in the US. 12.

She felt sick and her knees were shaking. She always felt sick during the exam week. She had two more exams that day and physics was the first. She really hated physics. Terry glanced back at her from the front of the queue and then looked away quickly. She didn’t have a problem with physics. She didn’t have a problem with anything ... Little Miss Perfect!  Terry was looking back at her again. “So what’s wrong with her?” Nina standing behind Mo had noticed Terry looking back at them. “I thought you were friends.” ”Yeah, so did I,” said Mo, “She’d promised to help me revise for the physics exam, but then just ignored all my calls and texts. Nina was trying to look sympathetic. However, it was time to go into the exam room. Mo gave Nina a worried look and followed them. She had been staring at question number five for at least ten minutes without any clue, when she looked up. Terry was sitting a few rows in front of her to the right and Mo couldn’t believe her eyes! She had her phone on her left knee and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good grades? She just felt really angry at Terry. She almost put her hand up to tell Mr Reed, but Terry had already put her phone away when Mo looked up again. She looked back over her shoulder at Mo and smiled sadly. It wasn’t fair! Mo never cheated and she was often in trouble for failing exams, while Little Miss Perfect had been cheating all this time. The next exam was history, which was Mo’s favorite and best subject but it didn’t help her feel any better. She was furious with Terry. She wanted to talk to her but she’d left instantly the exam had finished and now Mo couldn’t find her. She didn’t know what to do. Should she tell a teacher?
