Aimed at raising funds for children in underprivileged areas who are in dire need of educational resources, this event is scheduled for November 12th at the main auditorium, lasting approximately three hours. Not only will it provide a platform to showcase our talents, but also allow us to contribute to a noble cause. Given your talent for music, I suggest you give a solo guitar performance, which will surely add a unique flavor to our concert. Alternatively, you may collaborate with members of our music club to create a cross-cultural piece, which will be a wonderful fusion of different musical styles. Please let me know if you are interested at your earliest convenience so that we can arrange rehearsals in advance. Looking forward to your positive reply. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 （满分25分） OnTheBeach announced online that it was to hold a special singing competition. This event, which was designed for people who love Elvis Presley’s music, offered a grand prize of a dream vacation to Portugal. Anyone who could sing Elvis’s songs was welcome to join. Paul, who had a passion for Elvis and often sang while working, was encouraged by his friends to enter the contest. To everyone’s delight, Paul performed wonderfully and won the hearts of the judges. As a result, he became the winner of the competition, earning the trip that he had longed for. To Paul’s relief, the waste management company had no objection to him accepting the win. The company thought it was a prize for his talent rather than a direct gift of money. After learning about his victory, Paul felt overjoyed and grateful. The news spread quickly, and many neighbors came to congratulate him. Paul, who was always modest, thanked everyone for their support. With this unexpected opportunity, Paul finally got to revisit Portugal, the place he had dreamed of seeing again. His achievement not only brought him personal joy but also made the whole community proud. 听力原文 Text 1: M: Excuse me, where can I get some noodles and dumplings? W: They are in the food area. Please follow me, sir. Text 2: M: Are you going to the concert tonight at 8:15 pm? I bought the tickets. W: Great! Let’s meet at 6:30 pm to grab dinner. M: Ok, I will pick you up twenty minutes earlier. See you then! Text 3: W: I didn’t see you at Jane’s birthday party last night. M: It’s a pity. But I had to see my roommate off at the airport. He will study at an American university. Text 4: W: What are you up to? M: I’m reading a new novel. It’s quite a page-turner! W: After a while, could you water the plants? I am busy writing the report. M: No problem. Text 5: M: Ellen, have you got a meeting at Edinburgh? W: Yes, I’m going to see some important people. Why do you ask? M: I’m going there on Wednesday. W: Oh, I’m driving there tomorrow. Why not go with me? Text 6: M: Look at this advert for outdoor activities at the weekend. The climbing looks very interesting. W: Dad, I don’t think anyone in this family is in shape for such an activity. Why don’t we go sailing along the coast instead? It will be warmer there. M: But we did that last year. I would like us to try something else. W: So what else do you suggest? M: Oh, I know. There’s a beginners’ course every Saturday at the mountain ski school! I will give them a call to book three places for us on the course. Text 7: W: Hi, Michelle. I haven’t seen your dad for a long time. How is he? Is he still driving a taxi for people going to the airport? M: Actually, he is taking a break from it at the moment and is doing some hours at the local garage. W: That’s what my dad used to do when he was younger. M: Didn’t he become the manager of a shop in the city centre? W: That’s right. He is the sales manager at the department store next to the bank. M: Oh, be quiet. Our professor is coming now. The class begins. Text 8: W: Have your friends got plans for the weekend? M: Yeah, I know Andrew’s going to the gym. W: Right. Is Wendy going too? M: No, she’s not going out at all. Her grandpa is coming to stay, so she needs to help her parents tidy up their apartment. It’s still untidy after her party last weekend. W: Oh dear! What about Victor? M: He’s going to see a football match in the stadium with one of his cousins. Some of the guys from his basketball club have extra tickets. W: Is Delbert going? M: Actually, he still needs to finish his geography project, so he’s going to the city library. His sister will go with him to read some storybooks. Text 9: W: Oh, Mike! I didn’t know you had any interest in painting. M: I don’t know much about it at all, so I thought it would be a good idea to take this course. W: Did you go to the art show last night? M: No, there was lots of work in the lab. The show is open for one more day, so I’m going to see it tonight with my sister. What do you think of it? W: I love it. Desiree’s paintings will catch your eyes as soon as you see them and then your eyes lock on them. M: I can’t wait to see them myself. And did you say the painter’s name was Desiree? W: Yes but she only uses that name when she paints. Her real name is Lucy Green. But don’t you think Desiree really sounds more exciting? M: It sure does. Oh, it looks like Mr Brown is here. I’ll talk to you after class. Text 10: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m pleased to meet all of you here because you are my special guests. Welcome to the museum of our company. My name is Brown. I am the general manager of the company. As you all know, we mainly make computers in our company. We also make some other products. But we are quite interested in education. That’s why we have founded this museum. We hope children can learn how computers have been developed, how they are made and how they are used in industry, agriculture, scientific research, and many other areas. Children can try the computers. They can push buttons and listen to stories about computers, and they can enjoy video shows. I know you are all teachers, and you know what school children really need. So I hope you can give me some advice after you have looked around. I want my museum to be the best when it opens to all school children. This is Mr Tom Silver, my assistant. He will tell you more about our museum. I’ll be with you again in one hour and a half. Enjoy yourselves.

D.Technology shouldn't have been evolving at such a rapid pacc, C Fecling discouragod after a favorite show ends is common,and it even has an unofficial torm:post-series depression (PSD).Rita Kottnsz,a marketing professor at Kingston University,defines PSD ns"a fecling of cmptiness and upset when something you love finishes".This applies to TV shows,books,or video games, creating a desire for more. The concept of PSD gained popularity on social media and fan blogs in the mid-2010s,particularly during the Golden Age of TV.Kottasz prefers not to use the term PSD.instead calling it "consumer saudade",a Portuguese word meaning nostalgic looging.However,a joumal cditor convinced her to use PSD due to its established use outside of research. Kottasz and her colleagues published a 15-item classification senle for PSD based on interviews with fans wbo felt sad after their favorite things ended.Commoo cmotions included frustration,disappointment,sadness, and cmptiness.Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost"best friends". While PSD is ofton nssocintod with TV shows,Kottasz is exploring its connection to other media,such as the abrupt break of K-pop band BTS and novels like Harry Potter.Younger people are more affected than older ones. partially duo to on-demand streaming and constant new content pushos fr businesses like Netflix. Contrary to popular beliof,binge-watching does nol seem to trigger PSD.Instead,long:torm consumption may be a-factor Kotasz thinks watching a show over several scasons or reading novels-across many years strengthens a person's relationship to the charncters.In her 2019 paper,sho cites a Harry Potter devotee who started reading the series at age 9 and was"cruelly lef behind'aftor tho finnl book and film released yonrs later. But it isn't quite as simple as saying the end of a show or novel controls our emotional state.Brinn Kong.a Chicago-based psychologist,is concored that PSD might imply s causal relationship between low moods and a program's ond.Instead,he says that when viewers feel Insting negativity.TV consumption might be acting as an anesthetic()for a decper psychological issue,like bow some people with anxicty or depression drink alcohol.Put another way.the low mood already existed.and watching the series only masked it 28.Which of the following is a common reaction among fans experiencing PSD? A.A fresh sense of purpose for life. B.A decp salisfaction after the show. C.A great sense of loss of best friends. D.A strong desiro for a new hobby 29.What docs the underlined word "binge-watching"in Parngraph 5 mean? A.Revicwing every detail of a TV sbow day and night B.Watching some episodes ofa TV show in one sitting C.Following the cpisodes of a TV show for a long duration.

D For swimmers and surfers,sharks without teeth may sound like a relief.Yot a new studly wars that this could one day become a reality.as ocean acidification threatens the sharp teeth that theso top predators rely on to survivc. Sharks bave several rows of tecth.and new ones usually replace lost ones quickly.But rescarchers found that rising ocean acidity may damnge tccth faster than they can be replaced,making it harder for sharks to.feed. This could affect both shark populations and the balance of the marinc ccosystem. Occan acidification occurs when the sca absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide.lowering pH levels.By the year 2300.the ocean's pH may drop from today's 8.I to about 7.3.Such a change could bring serious challenges to many sca creatures. To test the impact,scientists placed 60 shark tceth into tanks.One tank had normal seawater (pH 8.1)and the other was more acidic (pH 7.3).After cight weeks.teeth in the acidic water showed about twice ns much damage.The teeth had come from blacktip reef sharks at a German aquarium,which were collccted after the sbarks naturally lost them. According to lead researcher Maximilian Baum.acidification adds to other threats sharks already face,such as overfishing and loss of prey ()Earlier rescarch also showed that shark skin scales,which are tooth-like structures,suffer similar harm.More sensitivo shark specics,espccially those with slower tooth replacement,may face greater risks. Still.Baum believes sharks may adapt by replncing tecth more quickly or strengthcning them.Shark tooth expert Lisa Whitcnack added that even corroded tecth might still function.She stressed the need for future studies to test wbether damaged tecth can still cut or puncture prey eHecuvely. The findings highlight the importance of reduciag homm made carbon cmissions.Protecting sharks'tecth is not only about the animals themselves,but also about the health of the entire occan ccosystem. 32.What did the shark tooth oxpcriment show? A.Tceth grew stronger in acidic water. B.Acidic water doubled tooth damage. C.pH 7.3 water improved tooth streogth. D.Tccth in pH 8.I water remaincd perfect. 33.What docs Lisa Whitenack's statement suggest? A Corroded teeth are useless for hunting. B.Damaged teeth need functional losting. C.Sharks will evolve new tceth structures D.Acidification only affects tooth oppcarance. 34.What can bo inferred from the study's findings? A.Sharks will evolve larger jaws soon. B Artificinl lighting brings sharks more food C.Cutting carbon emissions helps protect sharks. D.Most sharks already adapt well to acidic waters. 35.What is the best title for tho toxt?

However,our kind plan encountered a big problem.Paul's employer,a wasto management company,stated that employees couldn't receive any gifts in the form of moncy other than their regular salary according to strict corporate rules.At this news,Paul said,"Well,rules are rules.It's okay.I'm grateful for what everyone has tried to do for me."Ho continued to sweep the floor,humming a song of Elvis Presley as usual. We were all disappointed that Paul couldn't enjoy this well-deserved holiday as a reward for all his hard work for our community and determined to find a proper way to recognize Paul.
