Read about other people's exciting travels around the world with these three books. Is That Bike Diesel, Mate? One Man, One Bike and the First Lap Around Australia on Used Cooking Oil by Paul Carter There are great ways to travel around Australia. You could do it by plane, train or car. But author Paul Carter decided to tour the country on a homemade motorcycle that runs on cooking oil. Why? Well, the author worked in the oil industry for many years, and was keen to explore alternative fuels. So, he bought the unusual bike from a group of Australian university students (who had built it themselves) and set off. On route, he has lots of amusing experiences. He almost dies in a crash and he even attempts to break the land speed record for a motorbike running on biofuel. You Are Awful (But I Like You): Travels Through Unloved Britain by Tim Moore Travel writers usually go to the best destinations. But not Tim Moore. In the book, Tim travels to the worst places in the UK. Follow him as he heads to the bleakest towns, the worst hotels and the scariest pubs. And to make matters worse, he does it in the middle of winter. "My primary challenge was to have a good time in places that everyone had said I wouldn't," said the author. And he does meet lots of quirky characters and discovers that even Britain's ugliest parts have an inner beauty. Coasting: A Private Voyage by Jonathan Raban In 1982, author Jonathan Raban bought a boat and navigated Britain. And this is the book about his adventure. Along the way he gets caught in a few storms, explores seaside towns and even takes his aging parents along for part of the journey. Raban also uses his time at sea to think about how 1980s Britain is changing under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. 21. What is special about Paul Carter's travel? A. He breaks the land speed record. B. He uses an unconventional fuel. C. His aging parents accompany him. D. His motorcycle almost dies in a crash. 22. What challenge does Tim Moore face while traveling in the UK? A. Searching for alternative fuels. B. Surviving heavy storms at sea. C. Enduring the freezing cold in winter. D. Enjoying himself in unattractive places. 23. What do the three books have in common? A. They share practical travel advice for tourists. B. They compare different modes of transportation. C. They explore unique and challenging travel experiences. D. They offer alternative fuel sources and their applications. B As the curtain on the stage falls slowly, Lincoln Center bursts into thunderous applause. Chinese ballet dancer Chen Zhenwei once again impresses the audience from all over the world with his wonderful performance. "It's incredible. I never thought my dream would come true so soon," Chen said, recalling the scene when he got the news in May 2022 that he was promoted to the principal (首席) dancer of the New York City Ballet (NYCB), the company's first Chinese and fourth Asian principal dancer in 74 years. Founded by George Balanchine, the father of US ballet, NYCB is one of the leading ballet companies in the world, with 95 percent of the company's dancers coming from the School of American Ballet, and only 5 percent selected from top dancers around the world. To stand out from the top dancers, Chen has made every effort. "Whether you can become a principal or not depends on many factors. You need excellent physical condition, good teachers, strong support from family, continuous practice, good luck and opportunity, as well as a healthy body. All of these are too important to be without," he said. Born in Huizhou, Guangdong Province in 1992, Chen became attached to dance as a child. However, his parents preferred that he become a doctor or a lawyer in the future. The boy then wrote a seven-page letter to his parents describing his determination to study dance. Thanks to the sincere letter, Chen finally gained the support of his family and started his dream-seeking journey. Chen, with a Chinese cultural background, is also trying hard to promote Chinese culture on the Western ballet stage. Liang Zhu, a ballet adaptation of an ancient Chinese legend designed by him, was performed at Lincoln Center in New York. "This is a love story from China. I hope that US audiences can enjoy our wonderful Chinese culture," Chen said. 24. Which word can replace the underlined word "incredible" in paragraph 2? A. Strange. B. Alarming. C. Harmonious. D. Unbelievable. 25. What can be learned about NYCB? A. It includes mostly Asian dancers. B. It was set up by an American. C. It is the best ballet company in the world. D. It has only five percent of the top dancers in the world. 26. What can be used to describe Chen? A. Generous. B. Imaginative. C. Determined. D. Bold. 27. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. Chen's decision to be a ballet dancer. B. Chen's parents' expectations of him. C. Chen's efforts to spread Chinese culture. D. A famous story in ancient China. C Ask a classroom of children to draw a scientist, and you'll see plenty of colored lab coats and glasses. The image (画像) hasn't changed much since the 1960s, but the person wearing the lab coat is changing. A new analysis finds that more female scientists have appeared in kids' drawings in recent decades—going from nearly nonexistent in the 1960s to about a third in 2016. The first of many "draw-a-scientist" studies asked nearly 5,000 children to draw a scientist between 1966 and 1977. Of those 5,000 drawings, only 28 drew female scientists. That was just 0.56 percent. Today, female scientists are being presented more in the media. For example, in a content analysis, 13 percent of people pictured in science feature stories of the 1960s were women or girls, compared with 44 percent in the 2000s. "That might really affect children's idea on what a scientist should be like," says Miller, a Ph.D. candidate in psychology. To look for changes in children's perception over time, the researchers conducted a meta-analysis, combining data from 78 studies that included a total of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten to the 12th grade. On average, 28 percent of children drew female scientists in studies conducted from 1965 to 2016. What hasn't changed much: kids pick up stereotypes (模式化观念) by gender (性别) as they grow up. At age 6, about 70 percent of the girls in the more recent studies drew female scientists. By age 16, 75 percent drew male scientists. This is an important period in which kids are learning stereotypes. It's important that teachers and parents present diverse examples of both male and female scientists. 28. What's the picture of scientists drawn by a 1960s kid like? A. A man with long curly hair. B. A woman with lab glasses. C. A woman in a formal lab suit. D. A man in a colored lab coat. 29. What may contribute to the changes in kids' drawings? A. The improvement of women's social status. B. The kids are affected by teachers and parents. C. More female scientists appear in the media. D. The increasing number of female scientists. 30. What does the underlined word "perception" in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. belief. B. idea. C. habit. D. growth. 31. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that A. it's a stereotype that scientists are generally males B. girls are more influenced by stereotypes than boys C. some children are born with certain stereotypes D. most children tend to prefer female scientists D Recycling plastic has always been a stop-start effort, and the wide variety of plastics we produce, the pollution from waste, and other limitations make recycling an economic (经济) problem. It's estimated (估计) only 9% of plastic ever created has been recycled. But with the help of a chemical process, Canadian Miranda Wang and her company BioCellection want to change that. Stability is one of plastic's greatest qualities and downsides. There's limited evidence that some plastics can biodegrade (生物降解) but largely photo-plastics degrade in the sun. It's a long process, and the truth is that we can only estimate how long it takes. Wang is looking to break the inaction and BioCellection's task is to make most plastic waste recyclable. She outlines two current methods. One is to take plastics like water bottles, wash them, cut them, melt and reconstitute them. "That's a very limited process," she says, due to the requirement that plastics be "clean". The other, which can handle dirtier plastics and a level of pollution, is called hydrolysis (热解). Heat is applied to break down plastics so they can be reused as oils for energy, but "it's not economical," she says. BioCellection's solution builds on research from over ten years ago, Wang explains, when a US study discovered pure polyethylene powder (聚乙烯粉) could be broken down by a catalyst (催化剂). Wang and her co-founder Jean hit upon a bacterium being able to eat plastic. In the years since, they engineered a comparable catalyst capable of doing the same job, only faster, which even works on plastics no one else can recycle at present. "We have now found a catalyst that is much cheaper than the one that was used before," Wang says. Currently focusing on plastic films like shopping bags, the three-hour process breaks down plastic into chemicals that can act as the building blocks for more complex plastic products. "Right now we're able to achieve about 70% transformation from plastic waste material to these chemicals," she adds, saying they're working to increase that figure. 32. Why has so little plastic been recycled? A. Plastic is chemically stable. B. Recycling plastic led to pollution. C. We produced various plastics. D. Most photo-plastics degrade in the sun. 33. What does Wang think of the two current methods? A. Highly effective and dynamic. B. Expensive and pollution-causing. C. Limited and energy-consuming. D. Widely used and recognized. 34. What did BioCellection find effective to recycle plastics? A. Polyethylene powder. B. Chemical products. C. Plastic films. D. A catalyst. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Miranda Wang and her company. B. A new plastic recycling method. C. The greatest downside of plastic. D. Transformation of plastic waste. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Searching for a way to be happier? Seeking deeper connections with friends or looking for more friends? Want to relate better to other people? 36.________________. Compassion, as one scholar describes it, is "experiencing feelings of loving kindness toward another person's suffering". The compassionate often have deeper connections with others and more friends. They are more forgiving and have stronger sense of life purpose. 37.________________ The compassionate are usually happier, healthier, more self-confident, and less self-critical. 38.________________ All you need is a quiet place.

This could be your friend or your family. Then expand that feeling to yourself and to others. As time goes by, add more people to that circle. This may sound a little strange. 39.________________ Even short-term exercises like this broaden your attention, your thinking and your overall sense of well-being in a way that lasts. 40.________________ Compassion helps your brain become more flexible, and lets your brain have a wider sense of what's going on, and it gives you access to more ideas on how to act. This practice is beneficial to physical health and can help reduce physical signs of stress. And the happiness that can come from compassion training is the kind that lasts. A. But studies have shown this simple exercise really strengthens your sense of compassion. B. Practicing compassion doesn't have to cost you money. C. That's in part because it changes your brain. D. Compassion means a lot in our daily life. E. Try a little compassion. F. Your brain is one of the most important parts in your body. G.

He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn't wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother's Day, and he usually tried to make it back home, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, "I know what I will do. I'll send my mother some roses." He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young boy talking to the girl in it. "How many roses can I get for five dollars, Ms.?" the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young boy would be happy with something else. "No, I have to have roses," he said, "My mum was badly sick last year and there isn't much time left for her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite." He was stubborn. The girl in the shop looked up at Tom and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Tom was touched by the boy's voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Tom had been blessed in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy's roses. The girl looked at the young man and said, "OK. I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars." The young boy almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement. Tom ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a hospital nearby. 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。 Tom stopped his car and followed the young boy.

I cleaned the living room, washed the dishes, and even cooked a simple meal. It was tiring but very rewarding. Through this experience, I realized how much effort my parents put into keeping our home clean and comfortable. It also made me appreciate the importance of sharing household responsibilities. I hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 写作2 Tom stopped his car and followed the young boy. He watched as the boy entered the hospital and went to a room where an elderly woman was lying in bed. The boy handed her the roses with a big smile on his face. The woman’s eyes lit up with joy as she took the flowers. Tom felt a lump in his throat as he witnessed the touching moment between the boy and his mother. He realized how much the boy loved his mother and how important it was to make her happy, even with something as simple as a bouquet of roses. Tom went into the car with a deep sense of shame. He had been so busy with his work that he had almost forgotten the true meaning of Mother's Day. Inspired by the boy's love and determination, Tom decided to make more time for his family. He called his wife and told her that he would be home soon and that he had a special surprise for her. As he drove home, he felt a renewed sense of purpose and gratitude for the simple joys in life. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
