Wrapping paper—that thing that makes our holiday gifts look so festive—has a landfill problem. If it's shiny, metallic, or glitter-encrusted, it's not recyclable. And even recycled paper isn't guaranteed to actually get recycled. But there's an alternative, eco-friendlier option that some are turning to this holiday season: the Japanese art of wrapping packages in cloth, known as furoshiki.
Furoshiki refers to both the square cloth itself and the wrapping technique. The practice dates back hundreds of years, when people started using cloth bundles to carry items to and from public baths. Eventually, it evolved into a wrapping art form. People don't just wrap presents with the cloth, but an endless number of small items like boxes, fruit, and books. When it was used to wrap gifts, Tsukada Simonian says traditionally, the furoshiki cloth would be returned to the gift giver to be used again and again.
The tradition went out of fashion as paper and plastic substitutes took off in the post World War Ⅱ period. It's something “you would see at Grandma's house”, says Tomoko Dyen, who teaches the furoshiki wrapping technique in Los Angeles.
But recently, she says, it's been regaining popularity. As more tourists have learned about it while visiting Japan, Dyen says it's encouraging the next generation to “learn more about ourselves”.
Furoshiki doesn't necessarily require specific furoshiki cloth, says van der Steur. She stocks the museum store with imported Japanese furoshiki cloth including patterns of flowers, cats, and otters, but she says any piece of fabric, even old clothes, can work.
Some of the learners showed up specifically hoping to learn furoshiki for holiday wrapping. But some say they walked away hoping to use it for much more. Kristan Delatori attended with the plan to wrap her holiday gifts this way—but now she says she'll bring furoshiki with her when she runs quick errands. “Being able to put a couple of these into my bag and always having something when I go to the grocery store or go shopping,” says Delatori, “I'm really excited.”
24.What can we learn about furoshiki from the first two paragraphs?
A.It looks more festive than common wrapping paper.
B.It was sent as a part of the gift to the receivers for use.
C.It refers to the square cloth only used to wrap presents.
D.It was first used to carry items when people took baths.
25.What has made the revival of furoshiki in recent years?
A.The effort of the last generation.
B.The attention from more visitors.
C.The unique charm of furoshiki itself.
D.The support of the local government.
26.Which word best describes Kristan Delatori's attitude to furoshiki?
A.Unclear. B.Skeptical.
C.Favorable. D.Conservative.
27.What is the best title of the text?
A.Furoshiki: An Eco-Friendlier Choice for Holiday Wrapping
B.Japan: An Asian Nation with Various Traditional Art Forms
C.The Square Cloth: The Very Thing Bearing the Lost Memory
D.Wrapping Paper: A Recyclable Material Regaining Popularity
C
Do you like to eat many different foods at the same time? Most of us do, but to buy twenty dishes at a restaurant is just too expensive for most Americans. A good way is to eat a potluck(百乐餐).
The idea is to have each family in a community prepare one or two dishes only and bring them to a large room. Many soups, salads, meats, hot dishes, cold dishes, desserts, and drinks are put on the table at the same time. Each family member then takes a paper plate, a plastic knife, a fork, a spoon and a paper cup. In turn, they pick out the food they want to eat and fill their own plates with a balanced meal. Then, they sit with either their family or friends.
When they finish, they may go back to the table and eat more food, for there is always more than the group can eat at one time.Following the meal, everyone puts their paper plates and cups as well as the plastic knives, forks, and spoons into the rubbish container.
At many potlucks, the people then begin having fun. A group of four men may sing as a barbershop quartet. A pianist or a violinist may play a solo. Often there is group singing. Sometimes there is a liar's contest. Three people are chosen to tell a story. They leave the room and come back and two tell a true story while one tells a lie. The lie must be a clever story so it will be hard to choose which of the three stories is not true. The liar's contest always causes everyone to laugh loudly.
Everyone leaves the potluck in good spirits as they have all eaten a very good meal and they have enjoyed themselves very much.
28.How does the author explain a potluck?
A.A big meal for some special guests.
B.An ordinary meal for several families.
C.A meal contained in a pot that will bring you good luck.
D.A meal where many families eat together each preparing one or two dishes.
29.How can people at a potluck enjoy themselves?
A.Three people are chosen to tell a true story.
B.Three people are often chosen to have a liar's contest.
C.A group of three men may sing as a barbershop quartet.
D.A pianist or a violinist may play as a barbershop quartet.
30.Why is it hard for people to choose the lie in the liar's contest?
A.The lie is also a true story.
B.The true stories are easy to tell.
C.The lie is told by a clever liar.
D.The lie is required to be a clever story.
31.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A.To introduce a community activity.
B.To speak highly of a social activity.
C.To show the importance of a potluck.
D.To show a very effective way to eat well.
D
Waves of innovation often create giants. Artificial intelligence (AI) may well be the next big technological shift, transforming the way of business. Firms selling the software and hardware that support AI will gain a lot of profit. But none is better positioned than Nvidia, an American firm that makes specialist AI chips. Its market value briefly passed $1,000 billion this week. Will Nvidia always be a tech giant in this field?
The hype(炒作) around AI makes the question hard to answer. Excitement about Nvidia began to mount in November, after the release of ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot. Since then many kinds of firms have launched AI products.
Nvidia is in an enviable position. Its core business is designing high-performance chips. At first it sold these to video-game lovers. The chips were also highly efficient at training AI models, and a new, booming market emerged.
Nvidia also had the forethought to invest in two areas that helped strengthen its dominance(支配地位). One is advanced networking. Because training AI models requires vast amounts of processing power, many chips—sometimes thousands—are used at the same time. These chips exchange data along a high-performance, AI-tailored network.
Nvidia's other strength is its software. CUDA, its AI platform, is popular with programmers and runs only on the company's chips. For instance, by giving free access to its chips and software to some AI researchers, the firm focused on encouraging developers to use its software long before its competitors set out to woo them.
Despite all these advantages, however, Nvidia's lasting dominance is not assured. New companies and big chipmakers want a share of Nvidia's network and chip businesses. The biggest challenge, though, may come from Nvidia's own customers. The cloud-computing arms of both Amazon and Alphabet are designing their own AI-tailored chips. Both have the potential to become fearsome competitors.
32.Which of the following makes Nvidia enviable according to the passage?
A.The release of ChatGPT.
B.The availability of its chips.
C.The high performance of its chips.
D.The hype around artificial intelligence.
33.What does the underlined word “woo” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Hunt for. B.Attend to.
C.Approve of. D.Guard against.
34.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Amazon will defeat Nvidia soon.
B.Nvidia should further improve its chips.
C.Alphabet has weakened Nvidia's market.
D.Nvidia will lose its dominance definitely.
35.What does the author think of Nvidia's dominance in the future?
A.Assured. B.Predictable.
C.Uncertain. D.Unchallengeable.

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。
When heading to bed, people often do some things to promote sleep, such as drinking a cup of warm milk.
36 The answer is varied.
“One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger,” said psychologist Michael. 37
At the molecular level, the tryptophan(色氨酸) in milk has properties which can promote sleep. 38 Our bodies use the tryptophan from food, along with other things, to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is transformed into melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep.
39 That's because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep. But in reality, it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy. Even if a person drinks that much milk, it's unclear whether the high amount of tryptophan would be enough to make him or her feel sleepy. Milk, after all, contains many other materials that compete to enter our brain through the blood. Thus, the sleep-promoting effect of milk is limited.
As for the temperature of the milk, there aren't any studies that suggest milk has to be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in. 40 It can in turn help to relax the body.
A.Relaxing before going to bed can help you fall asleep.
B.The calming association may help to lower pre-sleep anxiety.
C.In theory, taking food rich in tryptophan can make us feel sleepy.
D.Can the temperature of the milk accelerate the speed of our sleeping?
E.The body cannot produce tryptophan, so people must get it from the diet.
F.But the warmth of the milk may help raise our internal body temperatures.
G.But is there any scientific evidence that drinking warm milk will make you sleepy?
36. 37. 38. 39. 40.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a bright spring afternoon along the Maryland coast, and Jonathan Bauer, a doctor, and his 13-year-old daughter, Ava, were driving home with the windows down on the Route 90 bridge, which spanned(横跨) the shallow waters of Assawoman Bay. Suddenly, the calm was disturbed by the scream of tyres.
Not far ahead of them, a black truck was sliding from one lane(车道) to the other. To the Bauers' horror, it crashed into the concrete barrier(混凝土护栏), jumped over the car directly ahead of them, and ended up hanging over the railing(栏杆) of the bridge. Bauer stopped the car in time to avoid other vehicles.
And then another scream appeared. It came from the truck, which had come to rest on its right side. The driver's door was pushed and a man climbed out. He dropped to the ground and then rushed to the railing. Bauer ran up beside him. The man pointed down, saying something in Spanish. In the water was a child car seat. There was a little girl next to it, about two years old. She was frightened, floating on her back, kicking and screaming.
From around the truck, more screams from others who had seen the accident came. Things quickly went worse when the girl rolled over. Bauer waited for the truck driver to do something, but he was in shock. Maybe he was quite new to the rescue.
Bauer was not sure about his chances of jumping from this height into such shallow water. And were there rocks that would cause cuts? But the truck driver didn't move. Time ticking by, taking action was a must: “Ava, call the emergency group!” Bauer shouted, ready to remove his shoes. “And stay by the car!” Bauer added.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Then he climbed onto the railing.
The rescue team rushed towards Bauer to take the girl from his arms.

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要对睡前喝温牛奶是否促进睡眠进行了解释说明。
36.G 根据空后的“The answer is varied.”可知,设空处应是一个问句;G项是问句,且G项中的“drinking warm milk will make you sleepy”与上文中的“do some things to promote sleep, such as drinking a cup of warm milk”相呼应,符合语境。故选G。
37.B 上文提到温牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是它让你想起了年轻时给你喝温牛奶的人,说明温牛奶让人想起曾经给自己温暖的人,能让人缓解睡前焦虑。B项中的“The calming association”呼应上文提到的这点,说明这种联系可能有助于缓解睡前焦虑。故选B。
38.E 下文提到色氨酸是从食物以及其他东西中获取的,我们身体本身不能产生色氨酸。E项中的“people must get it from the diet”与下文中的“the tryptophan from food, along with other things”相呼应,表明人体不能产生色氨酸,所以人们必须从饮食中获取色氨酸。故选E。
39.C 下文提到那是因为身体将其转化为激素,从而提高睡眠质量,但事实上要想让人感到困倦,需要大量的色氨酸,说明本段从理论和实际两个方面去论述色氨酸到底是否具有助眠的作用。由此推测设空处需要引出理论方面的说明,C项符合语境。故选C。
40.F F项中的“the warmth of the milk”呼应上文中的“the temperature of the milk”,且F项中的“raise our internal body temperatures”为下文“It can in turn help to relax the body.”中It所指代的内容,所以F项起到承上启下的作用,符合语境。故选F。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者叙述了自己在环游非洲的背包旅行正式开始之前得到了一位老人的建议,这让作者意识到真正的旅行不仅仅是看风景,还要了解当地的文化。
41.A 根据下文“So I left my hometown with great confidence”可知,作者独自离开了家乡;再结合最后一段中的“backpacking in Africa”可知,此处指作者想背着背包环游非洲。故选A。
42.B 根据下文“He gave me the best travel tips”可知,有人给了作者最好的旅行建议,所以刚到开普敦时,作者不确定下一步该做什么。故选B。
43.C 根据下文“He gave me the best travel tips”可知,在旅行正式开始之前能够得到好的建议是幸运的。故选C。
44.D 根据下一段中的“travel is about learning”和最后一段中的“having a student-like mindset”可知,此处指环游世界时要像一个学生一样。故选D。
45.A 根据设空处后面的but可知,此处和下文表达的内容形成转折,下文说到它改变了作者对旅行的看法,后面的内容也具体解释了其好处,所以此处是指虽然它听起来简单。故选A。
46.C 根据上文可知,老人给了作者最好的旅行建议,此处指的是他帮助作者意识到旅行是关于学习以及……的。故选C。
47.D 根据下一段中的“The culture didn't...me.”可知,此处指的是学习和观察当地的文化。故选D。
48.C 上文提到老人帮助作者意识到旅行就是学习和观察当地的文化,所以此处是指向当地人学习。故选C。
49.B 在旅行过程中学习、问问题并努力向当地人学习给我们带来的应是更丰富的经历。故选B。
50.A 根据语境可知,此处指的是当作者去坎昆旅行的时候,设空处应用when引导时间状语从句。故选A。
51.B 根据下文“I only stayed...and then left.”可知,作者只在那里待了一个星期,看了看风景和名胜古迹,然后就离开了。所以,作者只是一个游客,并没有深入了解当地的文化。故选B。
52.C 根据上文可知,作者并没有深入了解当地的文化,因此,那里的文化并没有改变作者。故选C。
53.A 上文提到在之前的旅行中,作者只是一个游客,没有真正了解旅行的意义,所以这次作者向自己保证,要成为一个真正的旅行者。故选A。
54.D 根据下文的“having a...extend my trip and helped me learn a lot”可知,有一种学生般的心态拓宽了作者的旅行并帮助作者学到很多东西,所以这次背包旅行是成功的。故选D。
55.B 根据上文可知,这次旅行帮助作者学到了很多,显然比起其他旅行,这次旅行更让作者满意。故选B。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了唐三彩的历史、特点及其文化意义,特别是其在丝绸之路贸易中的重要地位,展示了唐代文化的开放性和多元性。
56.a 考查冠词。此处泛指“一种类型”,type的发音以辅音音素开头,所以应用不定冠词a。
57.and 考查连词。空前的smooth和空后的graceful并列,应用连词and连接。
58.looking 考查动词-ing形式。句中已有谓语动词stand,所以设空处应用非谓语动词;主语The human figures与提示词look之间为主动关系,所以应用动词-ing形式作状语。故填looking。
59.which 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是“Xi'an, Luoyang and Yangzhou”,关系词在从句中作主语,所以应用关系代词which引导定语从句。
60.on 考查介词。on the/a(n)...route表示“在……线路上”。故填on。
61.survival 考查名词。设空处作介词for的宾语,应用名词。故填survival。
62.to accept 考查动词不定式。be glad to do sth.表示“乐于做某事”。故填to accept。
63.travel(l)ed 考查动词的时态。本句描述过去的动作,应用一般过去时。故填travel(l)ed。
64.highest 考查形容词的最高级。根据语境和空前的the可知,设空处应用最高级形式。故填highest。
65.successfully 考查副词。设空处作状语修饰动词developed,应用副词。故填successfully。
第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm Li Hua. I have read your advertisement for volunteers of the Sino-American Youth Ambassadors Online Exchange Program. I'm writing to apply for participation in this program.
First, a good command of English will make it possible for me to communicate with foreign members fluently. Besides, I'm an outgoing person and have rich experience in voluntary jobs, which can help me get along well with American friends in the program.
I would appreciate it if you could consider my application. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Then he climbed onto the railing. Taking a deep breath, he let go of the railing and jumped. The cold water surrounded him, but he managed to steady himself and began swimming towards the girl. As he got closer, he could see her face more clearly. She was crying, but her eyes were wide open, and she looked at him in fear and hope. Bauer reached out and gently took hold of her. When they broke through the surface, Bauer could hear shouts and cheers from above.
The rescue team rushed towards Bauer to take the girl from his arms. Bauer looked down at the girl. She was still crying, but her grip on him had loosened. She looked at him with wide, grateful eyes. “It's okay, sweetie,” Bauer said, trying to comfort her. “You're safe now.” And as he looked into her eyes, he knew that this moment, this rescue, would stay with him forever. It was a reminder of the power of love and courage, and the importance of being there for each other in times of crisis.
