56.Dear Student Union,
Hearing that you are calling on students to set up student association, I am so interested in it and decide to write a letter to apply for founding a sport association.
Named as football association, it aims at gathering students to do some sports after the class. The reasons why I decide to set up football association are as follows. To begin with, so many students share the common interest of playing football. Besides, with the increasing burden of study, plenty of students hope to find a way to reduce their pressure. Playing football is a good choice. It not only can help to relieve stress, but it also can develop students’ cooperative ability. Last but not least, the FIFA World Cup is coming. The best way to cheer for it is to involve in it.
I hope you can consider my application carefully. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Lei

Labubu dolls
In recent months, everywhere I go, there’s been one accessory on everyone’s lips and bags. 1 I wanted to grab one myself, the truth is, they are harder to buy than you think. 2 viral products of the past (remember the Stanley craze?), they sell out in seconds just to pop up on resale sites for five times the original price tag.
Now let’s get into the history of these popular Labubu dolls. They 3 (originate) in Hong Kong in 2015, a time when designer toys were beginning to capture global attention. 4 (refer) to as elves (小精灵) set them apart from their popular predecessors (Hello Kitty and other plush characters). They came to fruition in a Nordic-inspired picture book that artist Kasing Lung created. After the initial release of the book, the popular toy company Pop Mart created the first collectible collection for sale in 2019, and since then, sales have soared as new collections are released.
The Labubu creatures are a part of a tribe perceived as “The monsters,” and other members of the group include Zimomo, Mokoko and more. From collection to collection, each can be seen wearing various outfits, different facial features and fun accessories, due to 5 each drop seems unique. But don’t let the naughty smile make you think Labubus are evil. Lung says they are well-natured little creatures who have nothing but good intentions and 6 they sometimes inevitably end up in a difficulty.
Now, 7 makes Labubus so popular, besides the obvious cute charm, is that they are collectibles and hard to get, so it adds to the excitement of the hunt. They also come in blind boxes so the hunt becomes 8 (hard) if you have a particular color or Monster in mind. Because of mystery of the blind boxes, the reveal can be a surprise which is why many fans record their first impression of their creature 9 (capture) the moment. This excitement transcends age groups and communities, with everyone from pop stars to middle school students 10 (wear) the bag charms. It creates a sense of joy and status that you can say, “Yes, I succeeded and found a Labubu.”

How a Hotel Gets Its Signature Scent
Six years ago, Atelier Cologne (古龙水) founder Sylvie Ganter was offered a challenge: to create a signature scent for the Majestic, a five-star hotel, in celebration of its 100-year anniversary. She had six years of developing and perfecting fragrances (香水) for her consumers. But for a building? “I was at a (n) 11 where to even start,” she recalls.
The first step was 12 herself in the hotel. She stayed there over a long weekend, soaking up every detail, like the history (Hemingway was, famously, a longtime resident), the decor, and the overall aesthetic. It crystallized what had felt like a(n) 13 abstract task, allowing her a hope of how she could capture the spirit of the hotel.
Once she 14 the mood she wanted to arouse — chic, elegant, and timeless — she turned her attention to the ingredients. “I designed it like I would have for the skin because that’s what I know,” says Ganter. “And then we adapted it so it could be spread out through air conditioning by making it brighter and less 15 . You want something that smells good in the space, not overwhelming.”
Finally, “Musc Imperial” was launched at the Majestic in 2015, and soon after, guests demanded it in perfume form. The hotel requested that it be made into an amenities line (洗护用品系列), ending Bulgari’s 16 position as its sole retailer.
“Guests may not pay that much attention to the scent, but, 17 , they’re aware it’s there when they walk into the lobby.” She says, “If you bring home the shower gel, it transports you back to the place where you had a really good time.” Which is precisely the whole point of signature scents for hotels: creating an olfactory (嗅觉的) memory that, when 18 again, can trigger nostalgia, ultimately driving repeat business.
The 19 between a hotel’s personality and the signature scent is an important one. When there’s a disconnect, it could potentially lead to disastrous results, thus hurting its brand identity. No one will know for certain how a(n) 20 fragrance will be received, but when done right, it enhances the overall experience. For Ganter, it paid off when she dreamed up “Musc Imperial”.
II. Reading Comprehension (21 – 35题,每题1分;36 – 50题,每题2分;共45分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Before Yuri Gagarin and that first generation of astronauts breached Earth’s atmosphere to start a new era in space, nobody really knew just how humans would fare, either mentally or physically, in low Earth orbit.
In those early days, data was collected from probes and a selection of 21 , but until that pioneering generation flew, no one could say how astronauts would react. The medical profession is still researching the 22 of space on the body today, both when in space and the after-effects upon returning to Earth.
Of all the medical 23 facing life in space, the most fundamental remains the effects of weightlessness. John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth said that he “found weightlessness to be extremely 24 ”.
Ironically for Glenn, it wasn’t until an incident two years after returning from space that a more in-depth level of medical inspection was triggered. When Glenn 25 a head injury after a fall in a hotel bathroom, the dizzy spells he was suffering highlighted inner-ear issues he’d sustained while in space. 26 , they raised further questions about his health and how weightlessness had affected it, such as the strain placed on cardiovascular (心血管的) and circulatory systems.
Since the 1960s, studies conducted on those who’ve spent time in space have revealed a whole range of medical 27 . One paper revealed that on missions lasting six months or longer, an astronaut will experience bone density loss that is 28 to several decades of ageing. 29 this is one of the reasons why crews on the International Space Station need to exercise for two hours every day.
Research has also confirmed changes to vision, a compromised immune system, digestive issues and elevated long-term cancer risks. 30 space flight could also lead to cognitive decline, plus the onset of depression and anxiety.
However, while Glenn’s bathroom fall 31 sparked a series of rigorous investigations from ground-based doctors, tracking the health effects of space has moved to the environment that causes them: space itself, and the spacecraft and orbiting platforms where longer-term research can be carried out.
In the intervening years, there have been thousands of medical research projects on human health in space. For example, in 1989 two physicians on board Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-34) 32 to establish a link between cranial (颅骨的) pressure and motion sickness. In 1995, Mir Principal Expedition 18 saw a joint US-Russian medical research project to investigate the effects of weightlessness. And in 2023, members of Expedition 70 on board the International Space Station 33 how weightlessness impacts the neck, shoulders and leg veins.
However, regardless of what space has thrown at us then and now, the driving force to overcome any 34 medical problem remains unshaken: our existence as a species beyond the day when Earth’s time is finally done, depends upon it. It’s one thing to assemble the hardware to propel humankind to Mars and 35 beyond the Red Planet; the state of our health when we arrive is another.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Scientists have discovered what they believe to be a massive underground reservoir of ancient water ice buried beneath the equator of Mars.
Layers of frozen water, some more than two miles thick, are thought to lie within the 3,100-mile long Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF), one of Mars’s most geologically intriguing features. Studies of the area first hinted at the presence of mysterious underground deposits in 2007 but their composition was unclear. Now, more than 15 years later, data gathered by the European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter appears to confirm that it is frozen water — the largest deposit yet found at the Martian equator.
“We’ve explored the MFF again using newer data from Mars Express’s Marsis [Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding instrument, and we found the deposits to be even thicker than we thought,” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian Institution’s Center. “Excitingly, the radar signals match what we expect to see from layered ice and are similar to signals we see from Mars’s polar caps, which we know to be very ice-rich.”
Were it liquid, the water would be enough to cover all of Mars in an ocean some 9ft deep. The finding is significant to research into how and why, over billions of years, the planet changed from a once warm, lush waterworld into a frigid desert. Understanding the history of water on Mars will also help to guide studies into the possibility of whether microbial life existed in the once abundant lakes and oceans.
It was unclear, until now, whether the vast deposits detected below the surface of the MFF — a once volcanically active region may simply have been ash and dust. However, the new observations by Marsis found the density was too low for that to be the case. “Given how deep it is, if the MFF was simply a giant pile of dust we’d expect it to become compacted under its own weight. This would create something far denser than what we actually see with Marsis,” Andrea Cicchetti, of Italy’s National Institute for Astrophysics, said.
The latest finding has implications for the future exploration of Mars. Human missions will be reliant on having water sources in situ both for life support and, once the molecules’ hydrogen and oxygen atoms are separated, for manufacturing rocket fuel.
Putting MFF’s water to use is not likely in the short term, however. “Unfortunately these MFF deposits are covered by hundreds of meters of dust, making them inaccessible for at least the next few decades,” Wilson said.
36.What did the 2007 studies find according to the passage?
A.Two-mile-thick frozen water was supposed to exist within Mars’s polar caps.
B.Scientists recognized Medusae Fossae Formation as one of Mars’s most mysterious features.
C.A massive underground reservoir of ancient water ice buried beneath the equator of Mars.
D.There were unclear underground deposits at the Martian equator.
37.What can we learn from Thomas Watters’ comment in Paragraph Three?
A.Radar signals from Mars Express’s Marsis are strong enough to see through the deposits.
B.The deposits below the surface of the MFF were thicker than those from Mars’s polar caps.
C.The radar signals from the MFF and those from Mars’s polar caps looked alike.
D.Layered ice is common to detect in Mars’s polar cap.
38.What does Paragraph Five mainly talk about?
A.the advanced instruments applied in research.
B.the future plan about the Mars exploration.
C.the further implication about the research.
D.another assumption about the huge deposits under the MFF.
39.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.The future exploration of Mars is undermined with resource deprivation.
B.Abundant water exists beneath the equator of Mars.
C.Human missions on Mars should be delayed at present.
D.How to make water available on Mars?

There is a locked room in Lego’s corporate museum, in Billund in Denmark, which is called the Vault. It is a large space, filled with shelves that are arranged in chronological order, starting in 1958 and stretching towards the present day. The shelves contain around 10,000 sets of Lego. The Vault is used by the toymaker’s designers as a source of inspiration, but its effect on first-time visitors is what makes the room remarkable. It’s impossible not to seek out sets from your own childhood, not to be drawn back to an earlier version of yourself and, for lots of people, not to well up.
Visiting Lego’s Vault is a chance to experience the emotional power of a much-loved brand. Marketing experts have a wide set of taxonomy to describe the ties that bind customers and brands. In a recent review of the literature, Claudio Alvarez, Meredith David and Morris George of Baylor University identify five types of connection that have been the subject of concerted study.
The feeling that every marketing manager dreams of eliciting is “brand love”. This goes well beyond a belief in the quality of a firm’s products to include things like emotional attachment, feelings of passion, frequent use, a strong sense of identification and a brand and more. The flip side of brand love is “brand hate”, a reaction that slightly reflects bad experiences with a product, a strong fallback of a brand’s values or simply a rivalry with a loved brand.
The three other types of consumer-brand connection identified by Mr Alvarez and his co-authors are “communal relationships”, in which people feel a sense of obligation or concern for a brand (local stores can often fit into this category). “Brand addiction” is often characterized by uncontrollable urges to buy a firm’s products and services and “brand friendliness” is to denote positive feelings that fall somewhere short of love.
Some of this taxonomy can find all forces that the idea of gradation of attachment rings true; how people feel about a brand determines their behaviour. Vivek Arwanah of McGill University and his co-authors found that people are more likely to report safety incidents when they believe a brand is well-intentioned than when they do not. The reason? They want to provide feedback that facilitates problem-solving.
If managers know what kind of connection a brand is likely to have with its customers, the bridges of a marketing strategy will fall into place.
43.According to the passage, what is the primary purpose of the Lego Vault for the company’s designers?
A.To store every set ever made for historical preservation.
B.To serve as a source of inspiration for their work.
C.To evoke strong emotional responses from visiting tourists.
D.To function as a marketing tool to demonstrate the brand’s history.
44.The underlined word “taxonomy” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A.strategy B.system C.classification D.authority
45.Which of the following consumer-brand connections is characterized by an irresistible compulsion to spend?
A.Brand love. B.Brand hate. C.Brand addiction. D.Communal relationships.
46.Based on the research by Vivek Arwanah, why are customers more likely to report safety issues to a brand they perceive as well-intentioned?
A.Because they feel a sense of responsibility and want to solve the problem.
B.Because they want to offer constructive feedback that addresses the issue.
C.Because they feel a strong emotional attachment and passion for the brand.
D.Because they have an uncontrollable urge to facilitate the brand.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Survival of ancient dialects matters
Languages are not only tools of communication but also carriers of history, culture, and identity. Last week, the launch of a “last chance” crowdsourcing tool to record a threatened Greek dialect attracted wide attention. 47 Romeyka, which is spoken by an ageing population of a few thousand people in the mountain villages near Turkey’s Black Sea coast, branched off from modern Greek thousands of years ago. It has no written form.
48 But some languages are in even bigger trouble. Currently, there are 350 that have fewer than 50 native speakers and 46 that have just one. A cooperation between Australian and British institutions paints the situation in striking colours, with a language bar chart, illustrating the worsening decline between 1700 and today. Its authors predict that between 50% and 90% of the world’s 7,000 languages will be extinct by 2150. Even now, half of the people on the planet speak just 24 of them.
It is one thing to record and document endangered languages. 49 Also, social and economic priorities change, and it is not unknown for minority languages to skip a generation. One such is Manx, which was downgraded from extinct to critically endangered by Unesco after schoolchildren got in touch, asking: “If our language is extinct then what language are we writing in?” A strategy is in place to double the number of Manx speakers on the Isle of Man in a decade.
At a time of disastrous environmental change, there are practical reasons for listening in to the wisdom of linguistic communities that might be exceptionally small on their own, but which together speak more than half of the world’s surviving languages. From Sami reindeer herders across the Arctic to Australia’s Indigenous peoples, the ways in which people express themselves embody ancient ways of living in nature. Both a will and a way are needed if they are to survive. 50
A.By simply honoring their existence, linguists play an important role.
B.Faced with these alarming numbers, opinions coincide that preservation should be pursued with urgency.
C.For linguists, it is a “living bridge” to the ancient Hellenic world, the loss of which would be a blow.
D.However, even among linguists themselves, there is a debate about whether they should be preserved at all costs.
E.The sort of easy-to-use recording technology employed by Crowdsourcing Romeyka is a gamechanger.
F.This event highlighted a broader crisis: nine languages are thought to disappear from daily use each year.
III. Summary Writing (10分)
51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
It's undeniable: Being among the first to try out a new piece of technology is cool. There' s the thrill of doing what has never been done before — the feeling that you're living in the future. And when you're the sole member of your social circle with the latest hot gadget, people stare in fascination. They ask you questions. They see you as the holder of powerful, secret knowledge. — for a little while, until the next big thing comes along. People tend to underestimate the costs of this temporary coolness, which they pay in more ways than one. Don't fall into the early adopter trap. Don't join the first wave of onsumers who invest in the latest media-hyped hardware; instead, wait and see.
To put it bluntly, early adoption is a bad investment. First, the earliest versions of devices are not only expensive, they are also the most expensive that those devices will ever be. Companies are presumably attempting to recover the cost of production as fast as they can, and they know that there are serious tech-lovers who will pay a great deal to be first. Once the revenues from early adopters’ purchases are safely in their hands, they can cut the price and shift to the next marketing phase: selling the product to everyone else, This is why the cost of the original iPhone dropped about US $200 only eight months after its release, Plus, electronics hardly ever become more expensive because intense competition in the industry puts downward pressure on prices over time. Prices of gadgets will fall shortly after release, and they will likely keep falling. Many new TV models drop significantly in price as little as ten days after hitting the market. Further, electronics rapidly depreciate because they become obsolete so quickly. This means that early adopters pay the maximum price for an item to that does not hold onto its value. The resale price of a cell phone or laptop can drop by fifty percent within just a few months.
Speaking of becoming obsolete, those who are first to leap into a new technology risk wasting money and time on something that will never catch on. Another good reason to resist the early-adoption temptation is that the first version of a product typically has defects that cost a lot in time and frustration. Such problems are so common with new technology that early adopters are basically unpaid beta testers and troubleshooters. Unless this sounds to you like a fun way to spend your time, don't be among the first users. If you wait to learn what the problems are with a new electronic gadget, you can look forward to a smoother experience — or choose a less troublesome product.

Now, 7 makes Labubus so popular, besides the obvious cute charm, is that they are collectibles and hard to get, so it adds to the excitement of the hunt. They also come in blind boxes so the hunt becomes 8 (hard) if you have a particular color or Monster in mind. Because of mystery of the blind boxes, the reveal can be a surprise which is why many fans record their first impression of their creature 9 (capture) the moment. This excitement transcends age groups and communities, with everyone from pop stars to middle school students 10 (wear) the bag charms. It creates a sense of joy and status that you can say, “Yes, I succeeded and found a Labubu.”
【答案】
1.Though/Although/While 2.Like 3.originated 4.Being referred 5.which 6.that 7.what 8.harder 9.to capture 10.wearing
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述Labubu玩偶近期走红难购,2015年源于香港,盲盒与稀缺性助其流行,受各年龄段喜爱。
1.考查连词。句意:虽然我自己也想买一个,但事实是,它们比你想象的更难买到。由语境可知,前半句“想买”与后半句“难买”存在转折关系,应用让步连词though或although或while,表“虽然;尽管”,且句首时首字母应大写。故填Though或Although或While。
2.考查介词。句意:和过去的热门产品(还记得Stanley保温杯热潮吗?)一样,它们几秒钟内就售罄,随后在二手平台上以原价五倍的价格出现。此处表“和……一样”,应用介词like,用于对比Labubu玩偶与过去热门产品的共性(售罄快、二手价高),且句首时首字母应大写。故填Like。
3.考查时态。句意:它们于2015年起源于香港,当时设计师玩具正开始获得全球关注。此空考查谓语动词,主语They (Labubu dolls)与originate为主动关系,根据时间状语in 2015可知,originate是过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时。故填originated。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:被称作“小精灵”的设定,让它们有别于之前流行的形象(Hello Kitty及其他毛绒角色)。这里应用动名词形式作主语,且Labubu dolls与refer to为被动关系,所以应用动名词的被动形式,且句首时首字母应大写。故填Being referred。
5.考查定语从句。句意:每一系列中,每个玩偶都有不同的服装、面部特征和有趣配饰,因此每次推出的产品似乎都独一无二。此处为“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,先行词是前文“various outfits, different facial features and fun accessories”,指物,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
6.考查宾语从句。句意:龙家升(Kasing Lung)表示,它们是本性善良的小生灵,内心只有善意,只是有时难免会陷入困境。分析句子结构可知,says后接两个并列的宾语从句,第二个从句“they sometimes inevitably end up in a difficulty” 结构完整,需用that引导(不可省略)。故填that。
7.考查主语从句。句意:如今,除了显而易见的可爱魅力外,让Labubu玩偶如此受欢迎的原因是,它们是收藏品且难获得,这增添了“寻找”的兴奋感。所填空引导主语从句,且在从句中作主语,表“……的事物”,应用连接代词what。故填what。
8.考查形容词比较级。句意:它们还以盲盒形式出售,因此如果你心里有特定颜色或角色的目标,“寻找”会变得更难。此处隐含“普通购买”与“指定目标购买”的对比,需用形容词hard的比较级harder,表“更难的”。故填harder。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意:由于盲盒的神秘感,拆盒的结果可能是个惊喜,这也是许多粉丝会记录玩偶初印象以捕捉瞬间的原因。此处表目的(为了捕捉瞬间),应用动词不定式to capture作目的状语。故填to capture。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意:这种兴奋感跨越了年龄和群体,从流行明星到中学生,每个人都在佩戴这种包饰。这里考查with的复合结构,everyone与wear之间为主动关系,应用现在分词形式wearing作宾补。故填wearing。

How a Hotel Gets Its Signature Scent
Six years ago, Atelier Cologne (古龙水) founder Sylvie Ganter was offered a challenge: to create a signature scent for the Majestic, a five-star hotel, in celebration of its 100-year anniversary. She had six years of developing and perfecting fragrances (香水) for her consumers. But for a building? “I was at a (n) 11 where to even start,” she recalls.
The first step was 12 herself in the hotel. She stayed there over a long weekend, soaking up every detail, like the history (Hemingway was, famously, a longtime resident), the decor, and the overall aesthetic. It crystallized what had felt like a(n) 13 abstract task, allowing her a hope of how she could capture the spirit of the hotel.
Once she 14 the mood she wanted to arouse — chic, elegant, and timeless — she turned her attention to the ingredients. “I designed it like I would have for the skin because that’s what I know,” says Ganter. “And then we adapted it so it could be spread out through air conditioning by making it brighter and less 15 . You want something that smells good in the space, not overwhelming.”
Finally, “Musc Imperial” was launched at the Majestic in 2015, and soon after, guests demanded it in perfume form. The hotel requested that it be made into an amenities line (洗护用品系列), ending Bulgari’s 16 position as its sole retailer.
“Guests may not pay that much attention to the scent, but, 17 , they’re aware it’s there when they walk into the lobby.” She says, “If you bring home the shower gel, it transports you back to the place where you had a really good time.” Which is precisely the whole point of signature scents for hotels: creating an olfactory (嗅觉的) memory that, when 18 again, can trigger nostalgia, ultimately driving repeat business.
The 19 between a hotel’s personality and the signature scent is an important one. When there’s a disconnect, it could potentially lead to disastrous results, thus hurting its brand identity. No one will know for certain how a(n) 20 fragrance will be received, but when done right, it enhances the overall experience. For Ganter, it paid off when she dreamed up “Musc Imperial”.

II. Reading Comprehension (21 – 35题,每题1分;36 – 50题,每题2分;共45分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Before Yuri Gagarin and that first generation of astronauts breached Earth’s atmosphere to start a new era in space, nobody really knew just how humans would fare, either mentally or physically, in low Earth orbit.
In those early days, data was collected from probes and a selection of 21 , but until that pioneering generation flew, no one could say how astronauts would react. The medical profession is still researching the 22 of space on the body today, both when in space and the after-effects upon returning to Earth.
Of all the medical 23 facing life in space, the most fundamental remains the effects of weightlessness. John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth said that he “found weightlessness to be extremely 24 ”.
Ironically for Glenn, it wasn’t until an incident two years after returning from space that a more in-depth level of medical inspection was triggered. When Glenn 25 a head injury after a fall in a hotel bathroom, the dizzy spells he was suffering highlighted inner-ear issues he’d sustained while in space. 26 , they raised further questions about his health and how weightlessness had affected it, such as the strain placed on cardiovascular (心血管的) and circulatory systems.
Since the 1960s, studies conducted on those who’ve spent time in space have revealed a whole range of medical 27 . One paper revealed that on missions lasting six months or longer, an astronaut will experience bone density loss that is 28 to several decades of ageing. 29 this is one of the reasons why crews on the International Space Station need to exercise for two hours every day.
Research has also confirmed changes to vision, a compromised immune system, digestive issues and elevated long-term cancer risks. 30 space flight could also lead to cognitive decline, plus the onset of depression and anxiety.
However, while Glenn’s bathroom fall 31 sparked a series of rigorous investigations from ground-based doctors, tracking the health effects of space has moved to the environment that causes them: space itself, and the spacecraft and orbiting platforms where longer-term research can be carried out.
In the intervening years, there have been thousands of medical research projects on human health in space. For example, in 1989 two physicians on board Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-34) 32 to establish a link between cranial (颅骨的) pressure and motion sickness. In 1995, Mir Principal Expedition 18 saw a joint US-Russian medical research project to investigate the effects of weightlessness. And in 2023, members of Expedition 70 on board the International Space Station 33 how weightlessness impacts the neck, shoulders and leg veins.
However, regardless of what space has thrown at us then and now, the driving force to overcome any 34 medical problem remains unshaken: our existence as a species beyond the day when Earth’s time is finally done, depends upon it. It’s one thing to assemble the hardware to propel humankind to Mars and 35 beyond the Red Planet; the state of our health when we arrive is another.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Scientists have discovered what they believe to be a massive underground reservoir of ancient water ice buried beneath the equator of Mars.
Layers of frozen water, some more than two miles thick, are thought to lie within the 3,100-mile long Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF), one of Mars’s most geologically intriguing features. Studies of the area first hinted at the presence of mysterious underground deposits in 2007 but their composition was unclear. Now, more than 15 years later, data gathered by the European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter appears to confirm that it is frozen water — the largest deposit yet found at the Martian equator.
“We’ve explored the MFF again using newer data from Mars Express’s Marsis [Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding instrument, and we found the deposits to be even thicker than we thought,” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian Institution’s Center. “Excitingly, the radar signals match what we expect to see from layered ice and are similar to signals we see from Mars’s polar caps, which we know to be very ice-rich.”
Were it liquid, the water would be enough to cover all of Mars in an ocean some 9ft deep. The finding is significant to research into how and why, over billions of years, the planet changed from a once warm, lush waterworld into a frigid desert. Understanding the history of water on Mars will also help to guide studies into the possibility of whether microbial life existed in the once abundant lakes and oceans.
It was unclear, until now, whether the vast deposits detected below the surface of the MFF — a once volcanically active region may simply have been ash and dust. However, the new observations by Marsis found the density was too low for that to be the case. “Given how deep it is, if the MFF was simply a giant pile of dust we’d expect it to become compacted under its own weight. This would create something far denser than what we actually see with Marsis,” Andrea Cicchetti, of Italy’s National Institute for Astrophysics, said.
The latest finding has implications for the future exploration of Mars. Human missions will be reliant on having water sources in situ both for life support and, once the molecules’ hydrogen and oxygen atoms are separated, for manufacturing rocket fuel.
Putting MFF’s water to use is not likely in the short term, however. “Unfortunately these MFF deposits are covered by hundreds of meters of dust, making them inaccessible for at least the next few decades,” Wilson said.
36.What did the 2007 studies find according to the passage?
A.Two-mile-thick frozen water was supposed to exist within Mars’s polar caps.
B.Scientists recognized Medusae Fossae Formation as one of Mars’s most mysterious features.
C.A massive underground reservoir of ancient water ice buried beneath the equator of Mars.
D.There were unclear underground deposits at the Martian equator.
37.What can we learn from Thomas Watters’ comment in Paragraph Three?
A.Radar signals from Mars Express’s Marsis are strong enough to see through the deposits.
B.The deposits below the surface of the MFF were thicker than those from Mars’s polar caps.
C.The radar signals from the MFF and those from Mars’s polar caps looked alike.
D.Layered ice is common to detect in Mars’s polar cap.
38.What does Paragraph Five mainly talk about?
A.the advanced instruments applied in research.
B.the future plan about the Mars exploration.
C.the further implication about the research.
D.another assumption about the huge deposits under the MFF.
39.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.The future exploration of Mars is undermined with resource deprivation.
B.Abundant water exists beneath the equator of Mars.
C.Human missions on Mars should be delayed at present.
D.How to make water available on Mars?
【答案】36.D 37.C 38.D 39.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文,本文主要讲述科学家们发现了火星赤道附近埋藏着大量冰水。
36.细节理解题。根据第二段“Studies of the area first hinted at the presence of mysterious underground deposits in 2007 but their composition was unclear.(2007年,对该地区的研究首次暗示了神秘地下沉积物的存在,但其成分尚不清楚)”可知,2007年的研究发现火星赤道有不清楚的地下沉积物,故选D。
37.细节理解题。根据第三段“Excitingly, the radar signals match what we expect to see from layered ice and are similar to signals we see from Mars’s polar caps, which we know to be very ice-rich.(令人兴奋的是,雷达信号与我们期望从分层冰中看到的信号相匹配,并且与我们从火星极地冰盖中看到的信号相似,我们知道那里富含冰)”可知,来自MFF的雷达信号和来自火星极地冰盖的雷达信号看起来很相似,故选C。
38.主旨大意题。根据第五段“It was unclear, until now, whether the vast deposits detected below the surface of the MFF — a once volcanically active region-may simply have been ash and dust. However, the new observations by Marsis found the density was too low for that to be the case. “Given how deep it is, if the MFF was simply a giant pile of dust we’d expect it to become compacted under its own weight. This would create something far denser than what we actually see with Marsis,” Andrea Cicchetti, of Italy’s National Institute for Astrophysics, said.(直到现在,人们还不清楚MFF(曾经的火山活动区)表面下探测到的大量沉积物是否仅仅是灰烬和灰尘。然而,马西斯号的新观测发现,密度太低,不可能出现这种情况。“考虑到它的深度,如果MFF只是一堆巨大的灰尘,我们预计它会在自身重量的作用下被压缩。意大利国家天体物理研究所的Andrea Cicchetti说:“这将创造出比我们在Marsis上实际看到的密度大得多的东西。”)”可知,本段通过密度分析排除火山灰假说,所以本段主要是关于另一个关于MFF下巨大沉积物的假说,故选D。
39.主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段“Scientists have discovered what they believe to be a massive underground reservoir of ancient water ice buried beneath the equator of Mars.(科学家们在火星赤道下发现了一个巨大的地下水库,他们认为这是一个古老的水冰)”可知,本文主要讲述科学家们发现了火星赤道附近埋藏着大量冰水。B项“火星赤道下存在着丰富的水”最适合作为标题,故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Advanced HearClear HCR3可充电助听器的特点与优势,如低价格、先进技术、自动降噪、配对效果更佳等,并强调其性价比高、无需频繁更换电池,是中低收入群体的理想选择。
40.细节理解题。根据Even Better In Pairs!部分中“Your brain is designed to use both ears working together. In fact, studies show that you may be able to hear up to 3 times better in noisy situations when using two hearing aids. (你的大脑被设计成使用双耳协同工作。事实上,研究表明,在嘈杂的环境中使用两个助听器,你的听力可能会提高三倍。)”可知,推荐购买一对助听器的原因是,人类大脑天生更适合双耳协同工作来提高听力效果。故选C项。
41.细节理解题。根据Even Better In Pairs!部分中“Simple. Affordable. Rechargeable Digital Hearing Aid-For Only $229! (简单、实惠、可充电的数字助听器——仅售229美元!)”以及后文“only $229 each when you buy a pair (购买一对时每只仅售229美元)”。由此可知,购买一对助听器的总价为229美元×2=458美元。故选C项。
42.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The HCR3 is pre-programmed for most moderate to significant hearing losses (HCR3已针对大多数中度至重度听力损失进行了预编程)”可知,针对不同听力场景的内置程序,①“Built-in programs for different listening situations (针对不同听力场景的内置程序)”符合特性描述;根据倒数第三段中“The new HearClear HCR3 Rechargeable Digital Hearing Aids features advanced third generation digital technology at an unbelievably affordable Pride! (新款 HearClear HCR3 可充电式数字助听器采用了先进的第三代数字技术,而且价格极其实惠,令人难以置信!)”可知,该助听器采用了先进的第三代数字技术,因此③“Digital sound processing chip (数字声音处理芯片)”是第三代技术的核心组成部分,符合题意;根据倒数第二段中“The HCR3 is pre-programmed for most moderate to significant hearing losses, so you won’t need professional appointments to make costly adjustments. (HCR3 产品已预先针对大多数中度至重度听力损失进行了设置,因此您无需预约专业人员进行昂贵的调整操作。)”可知,HCR3 产品无需预约专业人员进行昂贵的调整操作,④“Simple adjustments without professional help (无需专业帮助即可简单调整)”符合特性描述;根据倒数第二段中“Your new HearClear HCR3 hearing aids work at a fraction of the cost of name-brand hearing aids, and you won’t have to keep changing the batteries! (您的新 HearClear HCR3 耳机的使用成本仅为知名品牌助听器的极小一部分,而且您无需再频繁更换电池!)”可知,该设备无需频繁地更换电池;②“Easy access to changing batteries (方便更换电池的操作方式)”与原文信息不符。B选项“①③④”符合题意,故选B项。
C
There is a locked room in Lego’s corporate museum, in Billund in Denmark, which is called the Vault. It is a large space, filled with shelves that are arranged in chronological order, starting in 1958 and stretching towards the present day. The shelves contain around 10,000 sets of Lego. The Vault is used by the toymaker’s designers as a source of inspiration, but its effect on first-time visitors is what makes the room remarkable. It’s impossible not to seek out sets from your own childhood, not to be drawn back to an earlier version of yourself and, for lots of people, not to well up.
Visiting Lego’s Vault is a chance to experience the emotional power of a much-loved brand. Marketing experts have a wide set of taxonomy to describe the ties that bind customers and brands. In a recent review of the literature, Claudio Alvarez, Meredith David and Morris George of Baylor University identify five types of connection that have been the subject of concerted study.
The feeling that every marketing manager dreams of eliciting is “brand love”. This goes well beyond a belief in the quality of a firm’s products to include things like emotional attachment, feelings of passion, frequent use, a strong sense of identification and a brand and more. The flip side of brand love is “brand hate”, a reaction that slightly reflects bad experiences with a product, a strong fallback of a brand’s values or simply a rivalry with a loved brand.
The three other types of consumer-brand connection identified by Mr Alvarez and his co-authors are “communal relationships”, in which people feel a sense of obligation or concern for a brand (local stores can often fit into this category). “Brand addiction” is often characterized by uncontrollable urges to buy a firm’s products and services and “brand friendliness” is to denote positive feelings that fall somewhere short of love.
Some of this taxonomy can find all forces that the idea of gradation of attachment rings true; how people feel about a brand determines their behaviour. Vivek Arwanah of McGill University and his co-authors found that people are more likely to report safety incidents when they believe a brand is well-intentioned than when they do not. The reason? They want to provide feedback that facilitates problem-solving.
If managers know what kind of connection a brand is likely to have with its customers, the bridges of a marketing strategy will fall into place.
43.According to the passage, what is the primary purpose of the Lego Vault for the company’s designers?
A.To store every set ever made for historical preservation.
B.To serve as a source of inspiration for their work.
C.To evoke strong emotional responses from visiting tourists.
D.To function as a marketing tool to demonstrate the brand’s history.
44.The underlined word “taxonomy” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A.strategy B.system C.classification D.authority
45.Which of the following consumer-brand connections is characterized by an irresistible compulsion to spend?
A.Brand love. B.Brand hate. C.Brand addiction. D.Communal relationships.
46.Based on the research by Vivek Arwanah, why are customers more likely to report safety issues to a brand they perceive as well-intentioned?
A.Because they feel a sense of responsibility and want to solve the problem.
B.Because they want to offer constructive feedback that addresses the issue.
C.Because they feel a strong emotional attachment and passion for the brand.
D.Because they have an uncontrollable urge to facilitate the brand.
【答案】43.B 44.C 45.C 46.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过乐高Vault引发的情感效应,探讨了五种消费者与品牌关系类型,并指出这些情感联系如何影响消费者行为和市场策略。
43.细节理解题。根据第一段中“The Vault is used by the toymaker’s designers as a source of inspiration (Vault被玩具制造商的设计师用作灵感来源)”可知,乐高Vault主要是作为公司设计师工作的灵感来源。故选B项。
44.词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下文“In a recent review of the literature, Claudio Alvarez, Meredith David and Morris George of Baylor University identify five types of connection that have been the subject of concerted study. (在贝勒大学近期的一项文献综述中,Claudio Alvarez、Meredith David和Morris George三位学者系统性地归纳了五种经过集中研究的品牌连接类型)”可知,营销专家用taxonomy描述消费者与品牌的连接类型,并具体归纳出五种,因此画线词taxonomy的意思是“分类”,与classification“分类,分级”意思一致。故选C项。
45.细节理解题。根据第四段中““Brand addiction” is often characterized by uncontrollable urges to buy a firm’s products and services (“品牌成瘾”通常表现为对企业产品或服务难以自控的购买冲动)”可知,Brand Addiction“品牌上瘾”的特征是不可抗拒的消费冲动。故选C项。
46.细节理解题。根据第五段中“Vivek Arwanah of McGill University and his co-authors found that people are more likely to report safety incidents when they believe a brand is well-intentioned than when they do not. The reason? They want to provide feedback that facilitates problem-solving. (麦吉尔大学的Vivek Arwanah及其合作研究者发现,相较于不信任品牌的情况,当消费者认为某品牌出于善意时,他们更倾向于报告安全事故。其深层原因在于,消费者希望通过反馈促进问题的解决)”可知,Vivek Arwanah的研究表明,消费者更可能向他们认为善意的品牌报告安全问题是因为希望提供解决问题的建设性反馈。故选B项。

Survival of ancient dialects matters
Languages are not only tools of communication but also carriers of history, culture, and identity. Last week, the launch of a “last chance” crowdsourcing tool to record a threatened Greek dialect attracted wide attention. 47 Romeyka, which is spoken by an ageing population of a few thousand people in the mountain villages near Turkey’s Black Sea coast, branched off from modern Greek thousands of years ago. It has no written form.
48 But some languages are in even bigger trouble. Currently, there are 350 that have fewer than 50 native speakers and 46 that have just one. A cooperation between Australian and British institutions paints the situation in striking colours, with a language bar chart, illustrating the worsening decline between 1700 and today. Its authors predict that between 50% and 90% of the world’s 7,000 languages will be extinct by 2150. Even now, half of the people on the planet speak just 24 of them.
It is one thing to record and document endangered languages. 49 Also, social and economic priorities change, and it is not unknown for minority languages to skip a generation. One such is Manx, which was downgraded from extinct to critically endangered by Unesco after schoolchildren got in touch, asking: “If our language is extinct then what language are we writing in?” A strategy is in place to double the number of Manx speakers on the Isle of Man in a decade.
At a time of disastrous environmental change, there are practical reasons for listening in to the wisdom of linguistic communities that might be exceptionally small on their own, but which together speak more than half of the world’s surviving languages. From Sami reindeer herders across the Arctic to Australia’s Indigenous peoples, the ways in which people express themselves embody ancient ways of living in nature. Both a will and a way are needed if they are to survive. 50
A.By simply honoring their existence, linguists play an important role.
B.Faced with these alarming numbers, opinions coincide that preservation should be pursued with urgency.
C.For linguists, it is a “living bridge” to the ancient Hellenic world, the loss of which would be a blow.
D.However, even among linguists themselves, there is a debate about whether they should be preserved at all costs.
E.The sort of easy-to-use recording technology employed by Crowdsourcing Romeyka is a gamechanger.
F.This event highlighted a broader crisis: nine languages are thought to disappear from daily use each year.
【答案】47.F 48.C 49.D 50.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,聚焦濒危方言与语言的生存问题,以希腊濒危方言Romeyka为例,引出全球语言快速消失的严峻现状,介绍了语言记录、保护的相关尝试,并指出古老语言承载着历史文化与生态智慧,强调保护濒危语言刻不容缓。
47.根据上文“Languages are not only tools of communication but also carriers of history, culture, and identity. Last week, the launch of a “last chance” crowdsourcing tool to record a threatened Greek dialect attracted wide attention.(语言不仅是沟通的工具,更是历史、文化与身份的载体。上周,一款用于记录濒危希腊方言的“最后机会”众筹工具一经推出,便引发广泛关注)”以及下文具体介绍Romeyka这门濒危方言可知,空格处需承接该事件,点明其背后反映的语言危机。F选项“This event highlighted a broader crisis: nine languages are thought to disappear from daily use each year.(这一事件凸显了一个更广泛的危机:据估计每年有九种语言从日常使用中消失)”既呼应上文事件,又自然引出语言濒危的普遍问题,符合语境。故选F项。
48.根据下文“But some languages are in even bigger trouble.(但有些语言面临的问题更严重)”以及一系列关于语言消失的惊人数据可知,空格处需先评价上文提到的Romeyka的价值。C选项“For linguists, it is a “living bridge” to the ancient Hellenic world, the loss of which would be a blow.(对语言学家来说,它是通往古希腊世界的“活桥梁”,失去它将是一个打击)”强调了Romeyka的重要性,再用“but”转折说明还有语言处境更糟,逻辑通顺,符合语境。故选C项。
49.根据上文“It is one thing to record and document endangered languages.(记录和整理濒危语言是一回事)”以及后文提到少数语言可能出现断代、人们对保护有不同看法可知,空格处需表达对保护的不同态度。D选项“However, even among linguists themselves, there is a debate about whether they should be preserved at all costs.(然而,即使在语言学家内部,也存在是否应不惜一切代价保护它们的争论)”与上文形成转折,指出保护并非毫无争议,符合语境。故选D项。
50.根据上文“Both a will and a way are needed if they are to survive.(这些语言想要生存下去,既需要意愿,也需要方法)” 可知,空格处需要具体说明相关人员在保护中可以发挥的作用。A 选项 “By simply honoring their existence, linguists play an important role.(只要尊重它们的存在,语言学家们就能发挥重要作用)”紧承上文,指出语言学家在语言保护中的重要角色,对前文进行补充和收尾,符合语境。故选 A 项。
III. Summary Writing (10分)
51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
It's undeniable: Being among the first to try out a new piece of technology is cool. There' s the thrill of doing what has never been done before — the feeling that you're living in the future. And when you're the sole member of your social circle with the latest hot gadget, people stare in fascination. They ask you questions. They see you as the holder of powerful, secret knowledge. — for a little while, until the next big thing comes along. People tend to underestimate the costs of this temporary coolness, which they pay in more ways than one. Don't fall into the early adopter trap. Don't join the first wave of onsumers who invest in the latest media-hyped hardware; instead, wait and see.
To put it bluntly, early adoption is a bad investment. First, the earliest versions of devices are not only expensive, they are also the most expensive that those devices will ever be. Companies are presumably attempting to recover the cost of production as fast as they can, and they know that there are serious tech-lovers who will pay a great deal to be first. Once the revenues from early adopters’ purchases are safely in their hands, they can cut the price and shift to the next marketing phase: selling the product to everyone else, This is why the cost of the original iPhone dropped about US $200 only eight months after its release, Plus, electronics hardly ever become more expensive because intense competition in the industry puts downward pressure on prices over time. Prices of gadgets will fall shortly after release, and they will likely keep falling. Many new TV models drop significantly in price as little as ten days after hitting the market. Further, electronics rapidly depreciate because they become obsolete so quickly. This means that early adopters pay the maximum price for an item to that does not hold onto its value. The resale price of a cell phone or laptop can drop by fifty percent within just a few months.
Speaking of becoming obsolete, those who are first to leap into a new technology risk wasting money and time on something that will never catch on. Another good reason to resist the early-adoption temptation is that the first version of a product typically has defects that cost a lot in time and frustration. Such problems are so common with new technology that early adopters are basically unpaid beta testers and troubleshooters. Unless this sounds to you like a fun way to spend your time, don't be among the first users. If you wait to learn what the problems are with a new electronic gadget, you can look forward to a smoother experience — or choose a less troublesome product.

52.经过数次尝试,有些人争论说,没有什么可以取代自然的环境。(replace) (汉译英)
___________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After several attempts, some people argue that nothing can replace the natural environment.
【详解】考查情态动词、介词短语、时态和宾语从句。句子陈述客观观点,用一般现在时;表示“经过数次尝试”用介词短语after several attempts作时间状语,位于句首;表示“有些人争论说”用some people argue that...,that引导宾语从句;从句中“没有什么”用nothing作主语,表示“可以”用情态动词can,后接动词原形;“取代”用动词replace,“自然的环境”译为the natural environment,作宾语。故翻译为After several attempts, some people argue that nothing can replace the natural environment.
53.每周三下午,各班轮流打理小花园,从松土到浇水,同学们在挥洒汗水中感受劳作的乐趣和协作的力量。(where) (汉译英)
______________________________________________________
【答案】Every Wednesday afternoon, each class takes turns tending the small garden, where students sweat from loosening the soil to watering plants, experiencing the joy of labor and the power of cooperation.
【详解】考查非限制性定语从句、固定短语和非谓语动词。表示“每周三下午”短语为every Wednesday afternoon,作状语;take turns doing sth.是固定搭配,意为“轮流做某事”,tend是动词,意为“打理,照料”,描述每周固定发生的事情,时态用一般现在时,因此表示“各班轮流打理小花园”用each class takes turns tending the small garden;此处用loosen和wate表示“松动”和“浇水”,跟在介词from后,用动名词形式作宾语,因此“从松土到浇水”为from loosening the soil to watering plants,表示“挥洒汗水”用动词sweat;此处用where引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the small garden;表示“感受劳作的乐趣和协作的力量”短语为experience the joy of labor and the power of cooperation,用现在分词experiencing,作伴随状语。故翻译为Every Wednesday afternoon, each class takes turns tending the small garden, where students sweat from loosening the soil to watering plants, experiencing the joy of labor and the power of cooperation.
54.尽管筋疲力尽,救援队的队员们仍然排除万难,坚持完成了自己的使命,这给每个人留下了深刻印象。 (Despite)(汉译英)
___________________________________________________________
【答案】Despite exhaustion/feeling exhausted, the members of the rescue team overcame all difficulties and managed to deliver on their mission, which impressed everybody.
【详解】考查动词时态和定语从句。陈述过去发生的事情,使用一般过去时;表示“尽管”应用介词despite;表示“筋疲力尽”应用名词exhaustion或者动名词短语feeling exhausted;表示“救援队的队员们”应用the members of the rescue team;表示“排除万难”应用overcame all difficulties;表示“坚持完成了自己的使命”应用managed to deliver on their mission;overcame和managed是并列的谓语,需用and连接;表示“这给人留下了深刻印象”应用which impressed everybody,which引导非限制性定语从句,指代上文句子,在定语从句中作主语。故翻译成:Despite exhaustion/feeling exhausted, the members of the rescue team overcame all difficulties and managed to deliver on their mission, which impressed everybody.
55.不积跬步,无以至千里。只有通过不断收集和分析5G技术在物联网、空中课堂和远程医疗等方面的应用案例,有朝一日我们才能实现“智慧城市”的梦想。 (Only…)(汉译英)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】One small step at a time leads to a thousand miles. Only by continuously collecting and analyzing application cases of 5G technology in the Internet of Things, virtual classrooms and telemedicine can we achieve the dream of a “smart city” one day.
【详解】考查谚语、倒装句和非谓语动词。“不积跬步,无以至千里”可理解为“千里之行始于足下”,通用翻译为:A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step;“只有通过不断收集和分析5G技术在物联网、空中课堂和远程医疗等方面的应用案例”作方式状语,“只有通过……”可only by...表示,“不断收集和分析”译为continuously collect and analyze,用动名词形式continuously collecting and analyzing作介词宾语,“5G技术在物联网、空中课堂和远程医疗等方面的应用案例”译为application cases of 5G technology in the Internet of Things, virtual classrooms and telemedicine,作宾语;“有朝一日我们才能实现“智慧城市”的梦想”是句子主干,主语“我们”用we,“能”用情态动词can,“实现‘智慧城市’的梦想”译为achieve the dream of a “smart city””,在情态动词后谓语动词achieve用原形,时间状语“有朝一日”译为one day;另外,“only+状语”置于句首会引起句子的部分倒装,所以情态动词can需放到主语we的前面。综上,全句译为:One small step at a time leads to a thousand miles. Only by continuously collecting and analyzing application cases of 5G technology in the Internet of Things, virtual classrooms and telemedicine can we achieve the dream of a “smart city” one day.

【答案】Dear Student Union,
Hearing that you are calling on students to set up student association, I am so interested in it and decide to write a letter to apply for founding a sport association.
Named as football association, it aims at gathering students to do some sports after the class. The reasons why I decide to set up football association are as follows. To begin with, so many students share the common interest of playing football. Besides, with the increasing burden of study, plenty of students hope to find a way to reduce their pressure. Playing football is a good choice. It not only can help to relieve stress, but it also can develop students’ cooperative ability. Last but not least, the FIFA World Cup is coming. The best way to cheer for it is to involve in it.

Labubu dolls
In recent months, everywhere I go, there’s been one accessory on everyone’s lips and bags. 1 I wanted to grab one myself, the truth is, they are harder to buy than you think. 2 viral products of the past (remember the Stanley craze?), they sell out in seconds just to pop up on resale sites for five times the original price tag.
Now let’s get into the history of these popular Labubu dolls. They 3 (originate) in Hong Kong in 2015, a time when designer toys were beginning to capture global attention. 4 (refer) to as elves (小精灵) set them apart from their popular predecessors (Hello Kitty and other plush characters). They came to fruition in a Nordic-inspired picture book that artist Kasing Lung created. After the initial release of the book, the popular toy company Pop Mart created the first collectible collection for sale in 2019, and since then, sales have soared as new collections are released.
The Labubu creatures are a part of a tribe perceived as “The monsters,” and other members of the group include Zimomo, Mokoko and more. From collection to collection, each can be seen wearing various outfits, different facial features and fun accessories, due to 5 each drop seems unique. But don’t let the naughty smile make you think Labubus are evil. Lung says they are well-natured little creatures who have nothing but good intentions and 6 they sometimes inevitably end up in a difficulty.
Now, 7 makes Labubus so popular, besides the obvious cute charm, is that they are collectibles and hard to get, so it adds to the excitement of the hunt. They also come in blind boxes so the hunt becomes 8 (hard) if you have a particular color or Monster in mind. Because of mystery of the blind boxes, the reveal can be a surprise which is why many fans record their first impression of their creature 9 (capture) the moment.

How a Hotel Gets Its Signature Scent
Six years ago, Atelier Cologne (古龙水) founder Sylvie Ganter was offered a challenge: to create a signature scent for the Majestic, a five-star hotel, in celebration of its 100-year anniversary. She had six years of developing and perfecting fragrances (香水) for her consumers. But for a building? “I was at a (n) 11 where to even start,” she recalls.
The first step was 12 herself in the hotel. She stayed there over a long weekend, soaking up every detail, like the history (Hemingway was, famously, a longtime resident), the decor, and the overall aesthetic. It crystallized what had felt like a(n) 13 abstract task, allowing her a hope of how she could capture the spirit of the hotel.
Once she 14 the mood she wanted to arouse — chic, elegant, and timeless — she turned her attention to the ingredients. “I designed it like I would have for the skin because that’s what I know,” says Ganter. “And then we adapted it so it could be spread out through air conditioning by making it brighter and less 15 . You want something that smells good in the space, not overwhelming.”
Finally, “Musc Imperial” was launched at the Majestic in 2015, and soon after, guests demanded it in perfume form. The hotel requested that it be made into an amenities line (洗护用品系列), ending Bulgari’s 16 position as its sole retailer.
“Guests may not pay that much attention to the scent, but, 17 , they’re aware it’s there when they walk into the lobby.” She says, “If you bring home the shower gel, it transports you back to the place where you had a really good time.” Which is precisely the whole point of signature scents for hotels: creating an olfactory (嗅觉的) memory that, when 18 again, can trigger nostalgia, ultimately driving repeat business.
The 19 between a hotel’s personality and the signature scent is an important one. When there’s a disconnect, it could potentially lead to disastrous results, thus hurting its brand identity. No one will know for certain how a(n) 20 fragrance will be received, but when done right, it enhances the overall experience. For Ganter, it paid off when she dreamed up “Musc Imperial”.

Before Yuri Gagarin and that first generation of astronauts breached Earth’s atmosphere to start a new era in space, nobody really knew just how humans would fare, either mentally or physically, in low Earth orbit.
In those early days, data was collected from probes and a selection of 21 , but until that pioneering generation flew, no one could say how astronauts would react. The medical profession is still researching the 22 of space on the body today, both when in space and the after-effects upon returning to Earth.
Of all the medical 23 facing life in space, the most fundamental remains the effects of weightlessness. John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth said that he “found weightlessness to be extremely 24 ”.
Ironically for Glenn, it wasn’t until an incident two years after returning from space that a more in-depth level of medical inspection was triggered. When Glenn 25 a head injury after a fall in a hotel bathroom, the dizzy spells he was suffering highlighted inner-ear issues he’d sustained while in space. 26 , they raised further questions about his health and how weightlessness had affected it, such as the strain placed on cardiovascular (心血管的) and circulatory systems.
Since the 1960s, studies conducted on those who’ve spent time in space have revealed a whole range of medical 27 . One paper revealed that on missions lasting six months or longer, an astronaut will experience bone density loss that is 28 to several decades of ageing. 29 this is one of the reasons why crews on the International Space Station need to exercise for two hours every day.
Research has also confirmed changes to vision, a compromised immune system, digestive issues and elevated long-term cancer risks. 30 space flight could also lead to cognitive decline, plus the onset of depression and anxiety.
However, while Glenn’s bathroom fall 31 sparked a series of rigorous investigations from ground-based doctors, tracking the health effects of space has moved to the environment that causes them: space itself, and the spacecraft and orbiting platforms where longer-term research can be carried out.
In the intervening years, there have been thousands of medical research projects on human health in space. For example, in 1989 two physicians on board Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-34) 32 to establish a link between cranial (颅骨的) pressure and motion sickness. In 1995, Mir Principal Expedition 18 saw a joint US-Russian medical research project to investigate the effects of weightlessness. And in 2023, members of Expedition 70 on board the International Space Station 33 how weightlessness impacts the neck, shoulders and leg veins.
However, regardless of what space has thrown at us then and now, the driving force to overcome any 34 medical problem remains unshaken: our existence as a species beyond the day when Earth’s time is finally done, depends upon it. It’s one thing to assemble the hardware to propel humankind to Mars and 35 beyond the Red Planet; the state of our health when we arrive is another.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Scientists have discovered what they believe to be a massive underground reservoir of ancient water ice buried beneath the equator of Mars.
Layers of frozen water, some more than two miles thick, are thought to lie within the 3,100-mile long Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF), one of Mars’s most geologically intriguing features. Studies of the area first hinted at the presence of mysterious underground deposits in 2007 but their composition was unclear. Now, more than 15 years later, data gathered by the European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter appears to confirm that it is frozen water — the largest deposit yet found at the Martian equator.
“We’ve explored the MFF again using newer data from Mars Express’s Marsis [Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding instrument, and we found the deposits to be even thicker than we thought,” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian Institution’s Center. “Excitingly, the radar signals match what we expect to see from layered ice and are similar to signals we see from Mars’s polar caps, which we know to be very ice-rich.”
Were it liquid, the water would be enough to cover all of Mars in an ocean some 9ft deep. The finding is significant to research into how and why, over billions of years, the planet changed from a once warm, lush waterworld into a frigid desert. Understanding the history of water on Mars will also help to guide studies into the possibility of whether microbial life existed in the once abundant lakes and oceans.
It was unclear, until now, whether the vast deposits detected below the surface of the MFF — a once volcanically active region may simply have been ash and dust. However, the new observations by Marsis found the density was too low for that to be the case. “Given how deep it is, if the MFF was simply a giant pile of dust we’d expect it to become compacted under its own weight. This would create something far denser than what we actually see with Marsis,” Andrea Cicchetti, of Italy’s National Institute for Astrophysics, said.
The latest finding has implications for the future exploration of Mars. Human missions will be reliant on having water sources in situ both for life support and, once the molecules’ hydrogen and oxygen atoms are separated, for manufacturing rocket fuel.
Putting MFF’s water to use is not likely in the short term, however. “Unfortunately these MFF deposits are covered by hundreds of meters of dust, making them inaccessible for at least the next few decades,” Wilson said.

There is a locked room in Lego’s corporate museum, in Billund in Denmark, which is called the Vault. It is a large space, filled with shelves that are arranged in chronological order, starting in 1958 and stretching towards the present day. The shelves contain around 10,000 sets of Lego. The Vault is used by the toymaker’s designers as a source of inspiration, but its effect on first-time visitors is what makes the room remarkable. It’s impossible not to seek out sets from your own childhood, not to be drawn back to an earlier version of yourself and, for lots of people, not to well up.
Visiting Lego’s Vault is a chance to experience the emotional power of a much-loved brand. Marketing experts have a wide set of taxonomy to describe the ties that bind customers and brands. In a recent review of the literature, Claudio Alvarez, Meredith David and Morris George of Baylor University identify five types of connection that have been the subject of concerted study.
The feeling that every marketing manager dreams of eliciting is “brand love”. This goes well beyond a belief in the quality of a firm’s products to include things like emotional attachment, feelings of passion, frequent use, a strong sense of identification and a brand and more. The flip side of brand love is “brand hate”, a reaction that slightly reflects bad experiences with a product, a strong fallback of a brand’s values or simply a rivalry with a loved brand.
The three other types of consumer-brand connection identified by Mr Alvarez and his co-authors are “communal relationships”, in which people feel a sense of obligation or concern for a brand (local stores can often fit into this category). “Brand addiction” is often characterized by uncontrollable urges to buy a firm’s products and services and “brand friendliness” is to denote positive feelings that fall somewhere short of love.
Some of this taxonomy can find all forces that the idea of gradation of attachment rings true; how people feel about a brand determines their behaviour. Vivek Arwanah of McGill University and his co-authors found that people are more likely to report safety incidents when they believe a brand is well-intentioned than when they do not. The reason? They want to provide feedback that facilitates problem-solving.
If managers know what kind of connection a brand is likely to have with its customers, the bridges of a marketing strategy will fall into place.
43.According to the passage, what is the primary purpose of the Lego Vault for the company’s designers?
A.To store every set ever made for historical preservation.
B.To serve as a source of inspiration for their work.
C.To evoke strong emotional responses from visiting tourists.
D.To function as a marketing tool to demonstrate the brand’s history.
44.The underlined word “taxonomy” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A.strategy B.system C.classification D.authority
45.Which of the following consumer-brand connections is characterized by an irresistible compulsion to spend?
A.Brand love. B.Brand hate. C.Brand addiction. D.Communal relationships.
46.Based on the research by Vivek Arwanah, why are customers more likely to report safety issues to a brand they perceive as well-intentioned?
A.Because they feel a sense of responsibility and want to solve the problem.
B.Because they want to offer constructive feedback that addresses the issue.
C.Because they feel a strong emotional attachment and passion for the brand.
D.Because they have an uncontrollable urge to facilitate the brand.

Survival of ancient dialects matters
Languages are not only tools of communication but also carriers of history, culture, and identity. Last week, the launch of a “last chance” crowdsourcing tool to record a threatened Greek dialect attracted wide attention. 47 Romeyka, which is spoken by an ageing population of a few thousand people in the mountain villages near Turkey’s Black Sea coast, branched off from modern Greek thousands of years ago. It has no written form.
48 But some languages are in even bigger trouble. Currently, there are 350 that have fewer than 50 native speakers and 46 that have just one. A cooperation between Australian and British institutions paints the situation in striking colours, with a language bar chart, illustrating the worsening decline between 1700 and today. Its authors predict that between 50% and 90% of the world’s 7,000 languages will be extinct by 2150. Even now, half of the people on the planet speak just 24 of them.
It is one thing to record and document endangered languages. 49 Also, social and economic priorities change, and it is not unknown for minority languages to skip a generation. One such is Manx, which was downgraded from extinct to critically endangered by Unesco after schoolchildren got in touch, asking: “If our language is extinct then what language are we writing in?” A strategy is in place to double the number of Manx speakers on the Isle of Man in a decade.
At a time of disastrous environmental change, there are practical reasons for listening in to the wisdom of linguistic communities that might be exceptionally small on their own, but which together speak more than half of the world’s surviving languages. From Sami reindeer herders across the Arctic to Australia’s Indigenous peoples, the ways in which people express themselves embody ancient ways of living in nature. Both a will and a way are needed if they are to survive. 50
A.By simply honoring their existence, linguists play an important role.
B.Faced with these alarming numbers, opinions coincide that preservation should be pursued with urgency.
C.For linguists, it is a “living bridge” to the ancient Hellenic world, the loss of which would be a blow.
D.However, even among linguists themselves, there is a debate about whether they should be preserved at all costs.
E.The sort of easy-to-use recording technology employed by Crowdsourcing Romeyka is a gamechanger.
F.This event highlighted a broader crisis: nine languages are thought to disappear from daily use each year.
III. Summary Writing (10分)
51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
It's undeniable: Being among the first to try out a new piece of technology is cool. There' s the thrill of doing what has never been done before — the feeling that you're living in the future. And when you're the sole member of your social circle with the latest hot gadget, people stare in fascination. They ask you questions. They see you as the holder of powerful, secret knowledge. — for a little while, until the next big thing comes along. People tend to underestimate the costs of this temporary coolness, which they pay in more ways than one. Don't fall into the early adopter trap. Don't join the first wave of onsumers who invest in the latest media-hyped hardware; instead, wait and see.
To put it bluntly, early adoption is a bad investment. First, the earliest versions of devices are not only expensive, they are also the most expensive that those devices will ever be. Companies are presumably attempting to recover the cost of production as fast as they can, and they know that there are serious tech-lovers who will pay a great deal to be first. Once the revenues from early adopters’ purchases are safely in their hands, they can cut the price and shift to the next marketing phase: selling the product to everyone else, This is why the cost of the original iPhone dropped about US $200 only eight months after its release, Plus, electronics hardly ever become more expensive because intense competition in the industry puts downward pressure on prices over time. Prices of gadgets will fall shortly after release, and they will likely keep falling. Many new TV models drop significantly in price as little as ten days after hitting the market. Further, electronics rapidly depreciate because they become obsolete so quickly. This means that early adopters pay the maximum price for an item to that does not hold onto its value. The resale price of a cell phone or laptop can drop by fifty percent within just a few months.
Speaking of becoming obsolete, those who are first to leap into a new technology risk wasting money and time on something that will never catch on. Another good reason to resist the early-adoption temptation is that the first version of a product typically has defects that cost a lot in time and frustration. Such problems are so common with new technology that early adopters are basically unpaid beta testers and troubleshooters. Unless this sounds to you like a fun way to spend your time, don't be among the first users. If you wait to learn what the problems are with a new electronic gadget, you can look forward to a smoother experience — or choose a less troublesome product.
