B Learning new languages can be empowering, opening doors to connect with people from different cultures. Recently, a man practicing Chinese gained widespread attention after visiting a local Lanzhou noodle restaurant and speaking the language in a truly memorable way. Canadian resident Cali Lopez shared a video of his interaction with a Chinese waitress and their authentic and curious exchange quickly won praise online. The incident occurred in Saskatoon,one of Canada's largest cities, with a growing Chinese community. Cali appeared anxious and nervous at the Lanzhou noodle restaurant before a waitress approached him. Greeting her in her native language, he nearly left her in shock. With a smile, Cali then politely asked the waitress if he could practice his Chinese and began ordering in her language, asking questions about the menu. He noticed a dish that caught his interest and asked in Chinese, “Is this sour pickle (泡菜) soup hot?” The waitress replied, “Yes, a little bit spicy.” Cali, who works as an English teacher, was fine with mild spice, replying,“Oh, I just want to order one.” When she asked about his other food preferences, he shared his desire for a dish with rice noodles. The waitress then listed the restaurant's six types of noodles, including three round and three flat varieties. Cali appeared to struggle a bit while discussing the types of noodles in Chinese, requesting the waitress to point to the menu and explain each dish's preparation to help him order. After some thought, he chose the thinnest of the round noodles. Curious about his language skillsCali then asked,“Can you understand me?” and waited eagerly for her response. The waitress confirmed she could, leaving Cali visibly moved. The one-minute video of this genuine and heartfelt exchange has received widespread praise on social media for recording a real, spontaneous (自发的) moment without any forced emotion. 4. How did the waitress feel at Cali's greeting in Chinese? A. Surprised. B. Confused. C. Annoyed. D. Uninterested. 5. What may have impressed the audience most in Cali's video? A. The Chinese food. B.

He struggled with mild spicy food. C. He turned down her offer of help. D. He found it effortless to discuss the menu. 7. What does the article mainly talk about? A. Language barriers of dining out. B. The challenges of learning Chinese. C. A heartwarming cultural exchange. D. The importance of being communicative. C “If your skin is getting older, you are getting older, so be careful,” says Claudia Cavadas at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. Could our fight to remove wrinkles help restore youth both inside and out? As skin ages, more and more cells enter a lifeless state called senescence (衰老). As time marches on, the mechanisms (机制) for clearing senescent cells out start to decline and they build up in tissues. This is bad news. The build-up of these cells has been shown to be a direct cause of some of the conditions that are generally more common in older age. To support her assumption around wrinkles driving whole-body ageing, Cavadas is planning to test experimental drugs on animal models of aged skin. “The evidence is still fragile, but, in a year, we will have experimental data” she says. Whether resisting skin ageing resists whole-body ageing will need to be seen. But there is another good reason to slow down skin ageing at least. Aged skin is worse than young skin at pretty much everything it is supposed to do, says a plastic surgeon. Its barrier functions weaken, wounds are slower to heal (康复), sensitivity to touch declines and its ability to defend diseases is weakened. How about anti-wrinkle creams? At present, there is limited evidence that they are genuine anti-ageing treatments. We do, however, have one method for preventing skin ageing: sunscreen, which absorbs UV rays before they do damage to the skin. It is never too soon to start. Even though the first visible signs of skin ageing usually don’t appear until our mid-20s, the potential processes are under way much earlier. Apparently, wrinkle treatment should no longer be seen as a “skin-deep” thing, but as a vital part of staying biologically young and healthy. Everyone should pay attention to that, because we all have skin in this game. 8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The definition of senescence. B. The causes of skin ageing. C. The process of cell declining. D. The consequences of skin ageing. 9. What does the underlined word “fragile” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Artificial. B. Considerable. C. Insubstantial. D. Convincing. 10. Which is a disadvantage of the aged skin? A. It tends to be sensitive to touches. B. The cut on it recovers quickly. C. The barrier functions work poorly. D. It stops guarding against diseases. 11. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Anti-wrinkle creams are quite useful. B. Wrinkle treatment is important to health. C. Sunscreen may pose potential risk to the skin. D. Wrinkle treatment is a practice proven skin-deep. D Powered by the enthusiasm of fans, many stars are emphasizing sustainability in their tours and live events. In many parts of the world, summer calendars are packed with music festivals. But on 25 August, Act 1.5, one of such shows, tried to be something different. Advertised as a “climate action accelerator (加速器)”, it showed the cooperation between a band called Massive Attack and scientists at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Manchester, UK, to reduce carbon emissions (排放) in the live music industry. Such efforts are much needed. In 2010, researchers estimated that the UK music industry produced some 540, 000 tonnes of greenhouse-gas emissions annually. Live music accounted for 74%of that. Those figures are likely to have risen. Many in the music industry are advocating ever more loudly on sustainability. Radiohead, Coldplay, and Billie Eilish are just some of the famous Western stars who have declared initiatives to make live events more sustainable. These initiatives have not always met with the approval of climate campaigners. One common criticism is that stars’ advocacy often focuses on the actions of individual fans. When it comes to high-energy aspects of touring, such as stage power requirements and artists’ travel, their preferred solution is often to find alternative ways to cancel out impact, rather than reducing emissions directly. However, it is heartening to see that some real change has already been achieved. In 2023, for the first time, the long-running Glastonbury Festival in the United Kingdom was powered only by fossil-fuel-free (非化石燃料) energy. In June 2024, Coldplay announced that direct emissions from its current world tour were almost 60%lower than those of its 2016-17 stadium tour. Historically, music has played a key part in social movements. The industry now has the chance to be a role model for real change. A 2022 report by researchers at the University of Glasgow, UK, found that music fans are more likely to care about climate change than non-music fans. So, the change will come when it is driven by those highest up in the music industry and backed by good science. 12. What makes the Act 1.5 music event special? A. Demonstrating a different musical style. B. Promoting the cooperation between bands. C. Funding scientific research on climate. D. Taking green actions based on science. 13. What is the purpose of listing data in the third paragraph? A. To highlight the UK music industry’s success. B. To indicate the challenges in the UK music industry. C. To criticize the rising costs of the UK music festivals. D. To stress the emission impact of the UK music industry. 14. Why do climate campaigners sometimes disapprove of stars’ advocacy? A. It emphasizes reducing artists’ travel emission. B. It focuses on fans cutting down emissions. C. It prefers to use fossil-fuel-free energy. D. It ignores the action of individual fans. 15. What is the author’s attitude to the music industry addressing climate issues? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Critical. 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。 Allergies (过敏) have become more common over the last 30 years. ____16____ Half of these sufferers are children. Allergy is a reaction that occurs when the immune system, which produces substances to help your body fight against infection and disease, has a strange and unnecessary reaction to a normally harmless substance, such as seafood or peanuts. To defend your body against an attacker, the immune system remembers these dangerous micro-organisms and attacks them if it meets them again. ____17____ The immune system of allergy sufferers makes antibodies (抗体) against harmless substances because it mistakenly believes them dangerous. An allergic reaction may not happen the first time a sufferer meets an allergen (the substance causing the reaction). ____18____ What has happened is that the immune system has now decided the substance is dangerous and has made an allergy antibody. This leads to the signs of an allergy, such as swelling, rashes, sneezing, sore eyes, and breathlessness. Some people are born with the ability to make lots of allergy antibodies. They are more likely to develop allergies. There may also be a link between allergies and antibiotics (抗生素). At one time, our immune systems were kept busy fighting off disease and trying to win the battle for health, but antibiotics have reduced our immune systems’ work. ____19____ A good deal of research is being devoted to finding a cure for allergies. ____20____ They may also be offered tests to find out what substances cause an allergic reaction so that they can avoid contact with them in the future. A. This work is done by antibodies. B. The most severe allergic reaction must be treated immediately. C. Sufferers may be given medicine to control the signs of illness. D. Now, one-third of us are affected by an allergy at some point in our lives. E. The antibody then attaches itself to cells, which contain certain chemicals. F. Thus spare energy may be directed to harmless substances such as strawberries. G. Sometimes, people can eat nuts for years and suddenly become allergic to them. 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。 When five-year-old Betsy had a fever, the doctor put it down to a virus.

The aquarium was home to a wide variety of ocean creatures, attracting countless visitors who were amazed at the colorful tropical (热带) fish, slow-moving seahorses, graceful jellyfish, and intelligent dolphins. However, the aquarium had to go through a major restoration, and as of December 1st last year, it closed its doors to the public. The construction was expected to last until the summer, with the entire project taking more than six months to complete. Without visitors, the aquarium grew extremely quiet and felt like an empty space. The animals, who were used to human interaction every day, now saw very few human faces, only the familiar caretakers. Something strange began to happen. The dolphins, once energetic and lively, seemed tired, lacking the usual enthusiasm they had for play. One morning, after the caretaker Amanda threw small fish into the dolphin’s tank, the dolphins swam lazily to the tank walls and barely showed any interest in their favorite meals. They stared blankly into the distance, their usual excitement absent. “Something’s not right,” Amanda whispered to herself Dr. Harris was called in to investigate. He examined the dolphins and initially suspected digestive issues. “Perhaps we should reduce their food intake,” he suggested. “Give them smaller amounts of food and see if that helps with any potential digestive discomfort. ” But after a few days, there was no improvement. The dolphins continued to suffer, showing no interest in food or play. Disappointed and worried, John, a senior caretaker, gathered the team. “What should we do?” he asked, his voice filled with concern. Then, one of the caretakers posed an idea: “Could it be that the dolphins are lonely without the visitors?” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph one: While everyone was doubtful, they decided to try something. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: As the dolphins started to recover, the staff became more creative in their efforts. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
