B A bus stop in Fowey，England,has been receiving artistic makeovers from creative locals for two decades.Known as the Pretty Bus Stop on Lankelly Lane in Cornwall,it was given its first transformation by Jane Tinsley after some damage. Over the next twenty years the stop has been decorated in a variety of themes,including a tea room,a yacht(帆船)race,a library,and even an Elvis-themed stop at one point Volunteers regularly step forward to give it a fresh look,especially during the winter. Sarah Worne,an artist who has been involved since 2021,recently created a plant-themed design called Thyme to Stop,which features real and painted pots of seedlings and plants,giving the stop the feel of a greenhouse."It was cold coming into February and everybody needed a bit of warmth,"Sarah said.“This design makes it feel cosy while people wait for the bus.” Sarah enjoys the project because it brings joy to others.“I always like keeping busy and doing things that make people smile,just for fun"she added. The bus stop even has a dedicated Facebook page,with more than 2,700 followers,showcasing its many designs over the years.“We love getting the community involved.For example,I have challenged Fowey River Lions to do a design and they are having a go this year at Easter,which has led neighbors to come together,discuss ideas,and work towards a common goal,"Sarah said. Sarah has thought about decorating other bus stops but hasn't yet taken the time to talk to the owners.“The bus stop in Fowey is actually owned by the town council.You do have to workout who owns the bus stops and I haven't gone down that route—but I certainly got my eve on a couple of other bus stops that could do with brightening up. 24.What does the underlined word“makeovers”in paragraph 1 mean? A.Decorations. B.Achievements. C.Inspirations. D.Traditions. 25.What is the purpose of Sarah's design? A.To display her talent for art. C.To bring warmth to people. B.To warm the plants in winter. D.To provide a place for reading. 26.What can be learned about the bus stop from paragraph 5? A.It boosts a sense of community. C.It is owned by Fowey River Lions. B.It owes its popularity to Facebook. D.It is funded by the local community. 27.What is Sarah most likely to do before decorating a bus stop? A.Contact qualified designers. C.Gain its owner's permission. B.Apply to the town council D.Clarify its current location. C It would be hard,Gabriel Garcia Márquez thought,to do justice to the surreal tale on screen.In his opinion,One Hundred Years of Solitude(孤独),his landmark novel of 1967,would need a runtime of 100 hours,which makes challenges such as being filmed in Colombia and entirely in Spanish pale into insignificance. Netflix,a popular streaming service,has honoured two of those three statements.The streamer claims that its new adaptation of Márquez’s novel—the first on screen—is “one of the most expensive productions in Latin American history”.Considering how much viewers actually want,it has chosen to shorten Márquez’s novel into 16 episodes,with the first section released last December. The novel presents significant challenges to film-makers.It helped Márquez win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982 and has sold some 50 million copies worldwide.With affection comes expectation.When the TV show was announced,fans online were quick to express their fears about an oversimplified retelling.Those remarks point to the other test for adaptors,which is the great complexity of the novel.Set in around 1850-1950,the book tracks the fortunes of the Buendia family across several generations,from the time José Arcadio and his wife,Ursula,establish the town of Macondo to the moment their last descendant(后代)dies,with civil wars,modernisation,economic success and ruin in between. When Netflix approached Alex García Lopez,a director,about the project,he was excited but uneasy.“I remember the book having very little dialogue.I remember it being a very existential kind of book and jumping all over the place.I just thought:‘This is just not really doable,is it?’”It was.José Rivera,one of the screenwriters,decided that the story should proceed in the order of time and that it needed a storyteller.It quotes from the novel word for word.“This approach allowed us to stay true to the book's core and its unique style,”says MrLópez.As a result,the film-makers have grasped the strangeness of the story,in which events are at once fantastical and commonplace. 28.Which is the biggest challenge to put the novel on screen? A Lacking Spanish-speaking actors. C.An absence of a proper filming site. B.Budget limitations on adapting it. D.Representing it in a short format. 29.What can be inferred about the novel from paragraph 3? A.It is complex but widely celebrated. C.It failed to meet fans'expectations online. B.It focuses on economic changes in history. D.It will be followed by a simplified version. 30.What does Mr Lopez think of Rivera's suggestion? A.Cost-effective. B.Time-consuming. C.Workable. D.Confusing. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Gabriel Garcia Márquez:A Literary Genius on Screen B.One Hundred Years of Solitude:A Cultural Phenomenon C.A Heated Debate:Bringing Márauez's Masterdiece to Screer D.Filming the Unfilmable:Netflix Tackles Márquez's Masterpiece D Described in Nature Communications,a new approach called the Toxic(有毒的)Male Technique(TMT)works by genetically engineering male insects to produce insect-specific poisonous proteins in their body,which have little effect on themselves.But when these males mate with females,the proteins are passed on,greatly reducing the duration of life of females and their ability to spread diseases. Disease-carrying insects pose a growing threat to global health and agriculture,causing hundreds of thousands of deaths,millions of infections,and costing billions in health care and crop damage annually.In mosquitoes like Anopheles gambiae,only the females bite and spread diseases such as malaria,dengue,Zika and yellow fever. Pesticides(农药)face declining effectiveness due to resistance and have caused harm to non-target species and ecosystems.Genetic bio-control has appeared"as a hopeful choice.Current techniques like the Sterile(不育的)Insect Technique(SIT)or insects carrying deadly genes work by releasing large numbers of sterile or genetically engineered males to mate with the wild females.While these mated females produce no descendant insects or only male descendants,they continue to blood-feed and spread diseases until they die naturally meaning populations of biting females only decrease when the next generation emerges.By immediately reducing the biting female population,the TMT offers significant advantages over competing genetic bio-control methods. Laboratory tests using fruit flies showed that females mated with TMT males had their life length shortened by 37%-64%compared to those mated with unengineered males.Computer models predict that applying the TMT to Aedes aegypti,a mosquito species primarily responsible for spreading dengue and Zika,could reduce blood-feeding rates by 40%to 60%compared to current methods. The current study was conducted in Associate Professor Maciej Maselko's lab and the proof of concept for this approach for lowering the populations of troublesome species.“We provides still need to apply it to mosquitoes and conduct thorough safety testing to ensure there are no risks to humans or other non-target species,"says Maselko. 32What can be learned about the TMT? A.It is based on traditional techniques. B.It poses a real threat to male insects. C.It is replacing pesticides worldwide. D.It offers hope against harmful insects. 33.What makes the TMT different from the SIT? A.The reason it was created. C.The popularity it has achieved. B.The way it functions. D.The insect it targets. 34.What do the data in paragraph 4 imply? A.The challenges facing the TMT. C.The huge potential of the TMT. B.The decrease in insect populations. D.The great power of computer models. 35.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? AT.o call for a prohibition on chemical pesticides. B.To introduce a new genetic bio-control approach. C.To discuss the history of insect-killing techniques. D.To highlight the dangers of disease-carrying insects. 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。 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。 Let's be honest here:Impulse(冲动)buying is kind of fun—at least in the moment.People impulsively spend an average of $150 every month.That adds up to an extra$1,800 spent every year and about $108,000 in a lifetime.Ouch! 36 .Let's find out. ●Make a budget and stick to it.

Yes,I just told you to stick to your budget—and you always should. 38 You’ve already budgeted a small part of spending money for it,so that reward or treat isn't an impulse buy anymore. ●Wait a day or longer before making a purchase. These days it’s so easy to see something we want and click,click,click it into a purchase.One way to help here is to give yourself a day or so before buying something.Then ask yourself if you'll actually use this thing and if you can afford it now. 39 Don't let a countdown(倒计时)rush yoyinto buying anything!A sale will come back around.Trust me. ● 40 Don't let your emotions control your spending habits!This can lead to impulsive shopping.Whether you're celebrating or trying to cheer yourself up,don't buy anything when your emotions are riding a roller coaster.

Besides my job in the library,I was a part-time writer.I was so part-time that I would never have called myself a writer,even though many of my poems had been published in literary magazines across Canada.A few months ago,I noticed that this particular regional magazine occasionally published poetry,so I took a chance and sent them a letter along with some of my best poems for their consideration. The instant I picked up the phone,the editor greeted me excitedly,“Hello Carol!I received your letter and I was wondering if you might be interested in reviewing(评论)books for us.You'll have a month to write your review,and we do pay.” Reviewing books?I had never written a review before,at least not the kind that would appear in a magazine with many readers.Sure,I had written short and enthusiastic summaries of books in the library to engage our users with newly acquired titles,but they were always positive assessments since I only focused on books I liked.This request was something entirely different. Could I do it?I questioned whether I had the skills and the right to review others' work.After all,I was only an occasional poet and library assistant.My spirits sank when they didn't even mention my poetry;instead,they wanted me to review someone else's writing. “I have a novel here.It's by a well-known author.Would you like me to send it to you?”the editor asked.Suddenly,my heart whispered,“You can do it and say‘yes’ now!”“Yes,”I then said.The book arrived soon.I felt anxious.Again,my heart said,“Take it one step at a time.First,read the book.”So,I did.I read it carefully and discovered I enjoyed the story. Now what?I sat at my computer,with fingers frozen.“Think!Think!Think!What are you going to say?”I whispered and remained still for several minutes. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Just start writing down anything,”I told myself. It wasn't long before the editor replied. $$
