The agreement was 18 at COP28 the United Nations climate meeting in Dubai. United Ara Emirates. Representatives (代表) 19 nearly 200 countries took part in the meeting. The 20 was to reach agreements that will help slow global warming.

The ghost that Marley told him about didn’t appear until the clock struck one. The Ghost of Christmas Past was very strange. It was the height of a child but it looked like an old man. The Ghost asked Scrooge to walk with him. They passed through the wall and stood on a country road. When they walked along the road, Scrooge found this was the place where he grew up. Some small horses were running towards them with boys on their backs. All these boys were happy. Then they came to a school. They saw a long, empty classroom. At a desk a lonely boy was reading a book. When Scrooge saw himself, he cried. A moment later they went in an apprentice. There Scrooge saw his old boss, Fezziwig. He asked Ebenezer, Scrooge’s former self, now a young man, and Dick, Scrooge’s workmate to get ready for the party. Soon the warehouse was cosiest, warmest, brightest ballroom. They enjoyed themselves there. After the party, they went on travelling. Scrooge saw himself again. He was older now. He was sitting by a pretty young girl, Belle. There were tears in her eyes. She said Scrooge had changed. He gave up all his dreams and now he was only interested in making money. They couldn’t make each other happy any more. She thought Scrooge wouldn’t choose to marry a poor girl like her. So she stood up and said goodbye to him. Although Scrooge wanted to go home, the Ghost continued making him look. He saw Belle and his beautiful girl laughing happily. Then the father came in with many Christmas toys and presents. Their happiness was indescribable. The master of the house sat happily with his daughter and her mother by the fire. Scrooge regretted so much that his eyes filled with tears. —Adapt from A Christmas Carol 34．Who didn’t Scrooge see while travelling with the Ghost? A．His boss. B．His father. C．His workmate.

The earliest paper cuts date back to the 4th century in China. In 2002, UNESCO listed China’s paper-cutting as a world cultural heritage (遗产). In Chinese culture, paper cuts are the symbol of happiness and good luck, and they have been used for decoration and design patterns (图案) throughout history. Paper cuts used for decoration are often seen on windows and gates. They are usually put up during holidays to bring good luck. The Chinese character Fu means good luck and it is often stuck on front doors upside down. It is believed that when Fu is put upside down, happiness arrives. The image of a fish often appears together with Fu, which shows we will have more than enough money to spend. Paper cuts are also used on presents. People use Fu to wrap (包装) presents to bring good luck to others. A present for parents with new-born babies might show a paper cut of children. In some designs, we can see a baby on a lotus flower. The name of this design is “lian sheng gui zi”, which means we wish that the parents would have more children. The image of a baby on an animal is popular as well. This animal is called “qi lin”, which is believed to have the power to bring children to the family. Paper cuts that show the Chinese character of double happiness are often used to celebrate weddings. People use them to decorate such occasions (场合) by putting them on walls, windows, doors and even furniture. Another kind of paper cuts are those used to make design patterns on clothing, such as the Chinese Fu, the image of dragon and flower patterns. They are very popular choices for clothes to wear. They are also sometimes used to decorate jewelry boxes. In the past, paper-cutting was all done by hand. Even a small mistake during the process can ruin (毁掉) the whole piece of work. Now there are factories for paper-cutting in China and paper-cutting has also changed from decoration to a kind of art. 38．The first paragraph is mainly about ________. A．the history of paper-cutting B．the occasions paper-cutting used in C．the problems modern paper-cutting faces D．the changes of paper-cutting 39．Why do Chinese people stick Fu upside down? A．Because it helps to drive evil spirits away. B．Because it represents the coming of happiness. C．Because it looks more beautiful in such a style. D．Because it expresses people's hope for a richer life. 40．Which paper cut can be given to parents with a new-born baby? A． B． C． D． 41．Which of the following is TRUE about Chinese paper-cutting? A．It has a long history of more than 2000 years. B．It is always used for decoration and design patterns. C．It is still all done by hand now because of art value. D．It is the symbol of good things only for festivals. D We’re used to seeing cats in people’s homes. You or a friend may have one or several. They might sleep on your bed, perch to gaze out a window, or ask you to play. Some people believe we never truly “own” cats, saying they just live with humans for food and comfort. As the saying goes, “A dog is a man’s best friend. A cat is a cat’s best friend.” Yet, cat owners argue that cats are misunderstood. They can be very loving, forming a close bond, following people around, and greeting them at the door. They show their love by purring, kneading, rubbing heads, and making eye contact. With so many people loving cats today, how did these wild creatures become popular pets? Cats have a long history with humans. Studies show they were first domesticated (家养的) in ancient China and Egypt. Evidence from Cyprus, where a cat was buried beside a human over 9,000 years ago, suggests a close relationship even then. Scientists believe all modern cats are descended from the African-Asian wildcat. The domestication process possibly began when humans started farming. Cat bones found in ancient Chinese pits show these cats ate grain that humans grew. People probably encouraged cats to stay and control pests as a protector. In return, cats grew used to human company (陪伴). Over time, people raised the friendlier cats, which gradually led to the pets we know today. Cats were valued as skilled hunters and were even officially employed by the U.S. Postal Service in the 19th century to control mice in post offices. By the century’s end, people began keeping cats mainly for companionship. Their popularity soared, and by the 1990s, cats had become more popular than dogs as pets in the U.S. Today, it’s estimated there are about 600 million domestic cats worldwide. Whether humans domesticated cats or cats chose to live with us remains a fun debate. One thing is certain: these furry companions are here to stay. And when you see your cat watching birds from the window, remember the wild hunter that still lives within. 42．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To explain why cats are better pets than dogs. B．To describe the history of how cats became pets. C．To encourage more people to keep cats as pets. D．To show how cats help humans catch mice. 43．The word “bond” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________. A．a strong rope B．a close connection C．a food resource D．a hunting skill 44．How is the passage mainly organized? A．By showing different scientific opinions about cats. B．By stating a problem and then explaining how it is solved. C．By describing events in the order in which they happened. D．By listing reasons why cats make the best household pets. 45．What can we learn from the passage? A．The connection between cats and people has been helpful to both. B．People first kept cats mainly because they wanted animal friends. C．Cats’ main job has always been the same all through history. D．Cats became more popular than dogs because they protected food. 四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词） 46．It’s a pity that the concert was (取消)because of the bad weather last Friday. 47．This term will (大概) end on 18th January.

The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward. “There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe. Just then the man on the other side saw us. “Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried. “What’s the matter?” shouted my master. “The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.” “Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller. When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired. — Adapted from Black Beauty 56．When did Gordon, John and Beauty leave for home? 57．Why did Beauty make a dead stop? 58．What made Mr Gordon believe that the bridge was broken? 59．How did they thank Black Beauty for saving his master’s life? 60．According to the passage, what is Black Beauty like? 六、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整，完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词） One day Tom sang a song about angels and Heaven (天堂) to Eva.

The agreement was 18 at COP28 the United Nations climate meeting in Dubai. United Ara Emirates. Representatives (代表) 19 nearly 200 countries took part in the meeting. The 20 was to reach agreements that will help slow global warming.

But countries like Saudi Arabia and India 22 this idea. These countries either depend heavily on fossil fuels, or on the money they 23 by selling them. Because of this disagreement, the final deal doesn’t mention a phase-out or a phase-down. 24 , it calls for “transitioning (转型) away from fossil fuels”. That’s a huge 25 to many people who had hoped for a stronger position. But it’s also the first time a COP meeting has 26 moving away from fossil fuels. The agreement calls for a huge 27 in clean energy. Around 130 countries have 28 to produce three times as much renewable energy by 2030. Representatives from small island countries are especially 29 that the COP28 agreement did not call for a phase-out of fossil fuels. These countries say the agreement 30 to solve the climate crisis quickly enough.

At a desk a lonely boy was reading a book. When Scrooge saw himself, he cried. A moment later they went in an apprentice. There Scrooge saw his old boss, Fezziwig.

The earliest paper cuts date back to the 4th century in China. In 2002, UNESCO listed China’s paper-cutting as a world cultural heritage (遗产). In Chinese culture, paper cuts are the symbol of happiness and good luck, and they have been used for decoration and design patterns (图案) throughout history. Paper cuts used for decoration are often seen on windows and gates. They are usually put up during holidays to bring good luck. The Chinese character Fu means good luck and it is often stuck on front doors upside down. It is believed that when Fu is put upside down, happiness arrives. The image of a fish often appears together with Fu, which shows we will have more than enough money to spend. Paper cuts are also used on presents. People use Fu to wrap (包装) presents to bring good luck to others. A present for parents with new-born babies might show a paper cut of children. In some designs, we can see a baby on a lotus flower. The name of this design is “lian sheng gui zi”, which means we wish that the parents would have more children. The image of a baby on an animal is popular as well. This animal is called “qi lin”, which is believed to have the power to bring children to the family. Paper cuts that show the Chinese character of double happiness are often used to celebrate weddings. People use them to decorate such occasions (场合) by putting them on walls, windows, doors and even furniture. Another kind of paper cuts are those used to make design patterns on clothing, such as the Chinese Fu, the image of dragon and flower patterns. They are very popular choices for clothes to wear. They are also sometimes used to decorate jewelry boxes. In the past, paper-cutting was all done by hand. Even a small mistake during the process can ruin (毁掉) the whole piece of work. Now there are factories for paper-cutting in China and paper-cutting has also changed from decoration to a kind of art. 38．The first paragraph is mainly about ________. A．the history of paper-cutting B．the occasions paper-cutting used in C．the problems modern paper-cutting faces D．the changes of paper-cutting 39．Why do Chinese people stick Fu upside down? A．Because it helps to drive evil spirits away. B．Because it represents the coming of happiness. C．Because it looks more beautiful in such a style. D．Because it expresses people's hope for a richer life. 40．Which paper cut can be given to parents with a new-born baby? A． B． C． D． 41．Which of the following is TRUE about Chinese paper-cutting? A．It has a long history of more than 2000 years. B．It is always used for decoration and design patterns. C．It is still all done by hand now because of art value. D．It is the symbol of good things only for festivals. 【答案】38．A 39．B 40．B 41．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国剪纸艺术的历史、用途、象征意义以及现代发展。剪纸在中国文化中是幸福和好运的象征，被广泛应用于装饰、礼物包装、服装设计等多个领域。 38．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Paper-cutting is a Chinese folk art with a long history. The earliest paper cuts date back to the 4th century in China. In 2002, UNESCO listed China’s paper-cutting as a world cultural heritage (遗产).”可知，第一段主要介绍了剪纸的历史，包括其起源时间和被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产的情况。故选A。 39．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The Chinese character Fu means good luck and it is often stuck on front doors upside down. It is believed that when Fu is put upside down, happiness arrives.”可知，中国人把福字倒贴是因为这代表着幸福的到来。故选B。 40．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A present for parents with new-born babies might show a paper cut of children. In some designs, we can see a baby on a lotus flower. The name of this design is "lian sheng gui zi”, which means we wish that the parents would have more children.”，可知给新生儿父母的礼物应是带有小孩图案的剪纸，所以应该选择有小孩和莲花图案的剪纸——莲生贵子，寓意着“多子”。故选B。 41．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In Chinese culture, paper cuts are the symbol of happiness and good luck, and they have been used for decoration and design patterns (图案) throughout history.”以及后文对剪纸用途的详细描述可知，剪纸在中国文化中一直被用于装饰和设计图案。故选B。 D We’re used to seeing cats in people’s homes. You or a friend may have one or several. They might sleep on your bed, perch to gaze out a window, or ask you to play. Some people believe we never truly “own” cats, saying they just live with humans for food and comfort. As the saying goes, “A dog is a man’s best friend. A cat is a cat’s best friend.” Yet, cat owners argue that cats are misunderstood. They can be very loving, forming a close bond, following people around, and greeting them at the door. They show their love by purring, kneading, rubbing heads, and making eye contact. With so many people loving cats today, how did these wild creatures become popular pets? Cats have a long history with humans. Studies show they were first domesticated (家养的) in ancient China and Egypt. Evidence from Cyprus, where a cat was buried beside a human over 9,000 years ago, suggests a close relationship even then. Scientists believe all modern cats are descended from the African-Asian wildcat. The domestication process possibly began when humans started farming. Cat bones found in ancient Chinese pits show these cats ate grain that humans grew. People probably encouraged cats to stay and control pests as a protector. In return, cats grew used to human company (陪伴). Over time, people raised the friendlier cats, which gradually led to the pets we know today. Cats were valued as skilled hunters and were even officially employed by the U.S. Postal Service in the 19th century to control mice in post offices. By the century’s end, people began keeping cats mainly for companionship. Their popularity soared, and by the 1990s, cats had become more popular than dogs as pets in the U.S. Today, it’s estimated there are about 600 million domestic cats worldwide. Whether humans domesticated cats or cats chose to live with us remains a fun debate. One thing is certain: these furry companions are here to stay. And when you see your cat watching birds from the window, remember the wild hunter that still lives within. 42．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To explain why cats are better pets than dogs. B．To describe the history of how cats became pets. C．To encourage more people to keep cats as pets. D．To show how cats help humans catch mice. 43．The word “bond” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________. A．a strong rope B．a close connection C．a food resource D．a hunting skill 44．How is the passage mainly organized? A．By showing different scientific opinions about cats. B．By stating a problem and then explaining how it is solved. C．By describing events in the order in which they happened. D．By listing reasons why cats make the best household pets. 45．What can we learn from the passage? A．The connection between cats and people has been helpful to both. B．People first kept cats mainly because they wanted animal friends. C．Cats’ main job has always been the same all through history. D．Cats became more popular than dogs because they protected food. 【答案】42．B 43．B 44．C 45．A 【导语】本文介绍猫从野生变为宠物的历史，讲述其驯化过程、不同时期与人类的关联，还提及相关争议，强调猫会一直陪伴人类。 42．主旨大意题。本文围绕猫是如何从野生动物逐渐与人类建立联系、成为宠物的过程展开，重点介绍了猫与人类之间相互合作和驯化的历史。故选B。 43．词句猜测题。根据“They can be very loving, forming a close bond, following people around, and greeting them at the door.”可知，它们可以非常有爱心，跟着人们四处走动，还在门口迎接人们，由此可知猫和人形成了一种紧密的联系，bond表示“紧密的联系”。故选B。 44．细节理解题。根据文章可知，文章按时间线依次介绍猫与人之间的关系发展：先是介绍猫在古代中国和埃及被第一次家养，然后是介绍农耕时期猫的驯化过程，接着是19世纪美国邮政管理局雇猫，最后是现代猫的普及。因此是按照事件发生的先后顺序进行描述的。故选C。 45．推理判断题。根据“Cat bones found in ancient Chinese pits show these cats ate grain that humans grew. People probably encouraged cats to stay and control pests as a protector. In return, cats grew used to human company (陪伴). Over time, people raised the friendlier cats, which gradually led to the pets we know today.”及“Cats were valued as skilled hunters and were even officially employed by the U.S. Postal Service in the 19th century to control mice in post offices.”可知，猫作为保护者控制害虫，捕捉老鼠，且吃人类种植的谷物，并习惯了人类的陪伴，由此可知，猫与人的联系对两者都是有帮助的。故选A。 四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词） 46．It’s a pity that the concert was (取消)because of the bad weather last Friday. 【答案】cancelled 【详解】句意：真遗憾，上周五音乐会因为天气不好而取消了。由句意及语境可推测，本题考查cancel“取消”，动词，又因主语the concert与cancel为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应该用被动语态be + 过去分词，cancel的过去分词为cancelled。故填cancelled。 47．This term will (大概) end on 18th January.

We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward. “There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe.

If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.” “Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller. When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” John took me to the stable. Oh!
