As a young girl, Switzer was active in various sports, but she faced huge troubles as there was a widely held attitude that women in sports were unattractive. In high school, she began to take running more seriously, often training in secret. She developed her determination (意志) and running skills through continuous practice, often running long distances to build her stamina (耐力). Switzer attended Syracuse University, where she trained with the men’s cross-country team. During this time, Switzer decided to run the Boston Marathon. As there was nothing in the official rulebook preventing women from entering, she signed up for the 1967 race. She used the name “K. V. Switzer”. As a result, race officials did not realise she was a woman. But when the race officials discovered she was a woman, they tried to stop her. Fortunately, her boyfriend Tom Miller and a group of men runners formed a sort of protective curtain around her. Finally, she completed the race in four hours and twenty minutes. After that, she decided to help other women athletes. The Boston Marathon finally began accepting women runners in 1972, and three years later, Switzer placed second at the race with a time of 2:51:37, her personal best. In 1977, she created the Avon International Running Circuit, a worldwide series of women’s races that lay the groundwork for the women’s marathon to become an Olympic event in 1984. Switzer went on to found the women’s running club, 261 Fearless, and entered the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 2011. Still an active runner, Switzer even completed the Boston Marathon in 2017-fifty years after her historic run. “When I go to the Boston Marathon now, I have wet shoulders — women fall into my arms crying,” she said. “They’re crying for joy because running has changed their lives. They feel nothing is impossible.” 59．How did Switzer train as a young girl? A．By following a professional plan. B．By joining a cross-country team. C．By keeping running secretly. D．By seeking help from her coach. 60．What can we learn about Switzer in the 1967 marathon? A．She reached her personal best. B．She broke a record set by men. C．She lent a hand to another runner. D．She was the first woman to complete it. 61．What is the result of Switzer’s 1977 running series? A．261 Fearless was founded. B．She won many national honours. C．Women’s marathon entered the Olympics. D．Boston Marathon accepted women runners. 62．What is the best title of the text? A．Kathrine Switzer: A Pioneer in Women's Sports B．The 1967 Boston Marathon: A Race Against Time C．Seeking Possibilities: A Woman of Olympic Spirits D．Breaking Limits: The Story of a Marathon Champion (C) Research shows that when social media use is high, depression is also high. But the question is — is that because social media causes that person to be depressed? Or is it because people who are depressed tend to also use social media more, and spend less time exercising and being in green spaces? “That is what we wanted to understand,” says Carol Vidal, the first author of the study, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. In their study, 376 young adults in Canada were asked to complete three online questionnaires between May 2021 and January 2022. At each point, participants self-reported depressive symptoms based on the PHQ-9 — a nine-item scale (表) that is commonly used to measure depression — as well as social media use, green space exposure, and physical activity. Researchers found that participants who had higher social media use tended to be more depressed, and people who were more depressed also tended to use social media more. However, researchers found that social media use did not cause an increase or decrease in depressive symptom levels over time. Researchers also found that higher levels of social media use and higher levels of depressive symptoms were associated with lower levels of green space exposure. In addition, higher eveningness was also associated with higher depressive symptom levels. One study author says these results show social media use and depression are associated, but do not provide evidence that greater social media use predicts an increase in depressive symptoms over time. Other professionals in the team also say these findings indicate people who suffer from depression should be careful about the amount of time they spend on social media and should be encouraged to integrate other healthy habits into their lifestyle. Vidal and other investigators believe there are many aspects to social media, and there are important next steps to learn more about its impact on the mental health of people of all ages, including younger children and adolescents. 63．Why did Carol Vidal conduct the study? A．To explore how depression affects social media use. B．To investigate if green spaces benefit mental health. C．To find the link between social media and depression. D．To determine why social media contributes to depression. 64．How did the researchers measure depression in the study? A．By using a nine-item form called PHQ-9. B．By observing the participants’ daily behavior. C．By asking the participants’ friends and families. D．By analyzing the participants’ social media posts. 65．What do the researchers advise people with depression to do? A．Avoid using mobile phones. B．Develop healthy eating habits. C．Seek professional help regularly. D．Cut down the time on social media. 66．What does the follow-up study aim to find out? A．The types of social media. B．The influence of social media on mental health. C．The popularity of social media among younger children. D．Effective ways to limit social media use among the youth.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Exoplanets (外行星): The Hunt Is On Today scientists believe that planets could outnumber the stars. For centuries, scientists and natural philosophers have proposed that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. The existence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, has long been discussed. 67 Although not the first exoplanet discovery, a planet near a sun-like star was discovered by astronomers in 1995. This kicked off an era of exoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and confirmations following in its wake. 68 However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable” zone. This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been explored. Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 exoplanets, with more being added every day. To detect exoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Large ground-based telescopes, earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. 69 For example, when an exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness. Measuring this drop is the transit (凌日) method of discovery. NASA’S Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets this way. As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake. 70 Measuring these slight changes is the radial velocity (径向速度) method of discovering planets. It is one of the most productive methods for finding and confirming exoplanets. These are just two examples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt for exoplanets, hoping for more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who knows what else we may find! A．Scientists use indirect methods to discover exoplanets. B．Most exoplanets are very different from the ones in our solar system. C．As the star moves unsteadily, it changes the wavelength of the light we see. D．Astronomers have detected signals indicating the presence of a planet. E．However, we have developed the technology to prove their existence only in the last few decades. F．Direct detection of the visible light from giant planets in space is becoming increasingly possible. V. Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. Paying Allowances for Completing Chores The practice of paying children an allowance became popular in America about 100 years ago. Nowadays, American kids on average receive about $800 per year in allowance. But the vast majority of American parents who pay allowance tie it to the completion of housework. Although many parents believe that paying an allowance for completing chores benefits their children, a range of experts expressed concern that tying allowance very closely to chores may not be ideal. In fact, the way chores work in many households worldwide points to another way. Suniya Luthar, a psychologist, is against paying kids for chores. Luthar is not opposed to giving allowances, but she thinks it’s important to establish that chores are done not because they will lead to payment, but because they keep the household running. Luthar’s suggested approach to allowance is compatible with that of writer Ron Lieber, who advises that allowances be used as a means of showing children how to save, give, and spend on things they care about. “Kids should do chores,” he writes, “for the same reason adults do, because the chores need to be done, and not with the expectation of compensation.” This argument has its critics, but considering the way chores are undertaken around the world may change people’s thinking. Professor David Lancy of Utah State University has studied how families around the world handle chores. At about 18 months of age, Lancy says, most children become eager to help their parents, and in many cultures, they begin helping with housework at that age. They begin with very simple tasks, but their responsibilities gradually increase. And they do these tasks without payment. Lancy contrasts this with what happens in America. “We deny our children’s attempts to help until they are 6 or 7 years old,” Lancy says, “when many have lost the desire to help and then try to motivate them with payment. The solution to this problem is not to try to use money as a stimulus to do housework, but to get children involved in housework much earlier, when they actually want to do it.” 71.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ VI.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Strikes are very common in Britain. They are extremely harmful to its industry. In fact, there are other countries in Western Europe that lose more working days through strikes every year than Britain. The trouble with the strikes in Britain is that they occur in essential industries. There are over 495 unions in Britain. Some unions are very small. Over 20 have more than 100,000 members. Unions do not exist only to demand higher wages. They also educate their members. They provide benefits for the sick and try to improve working conditions. Trade unioners say that they must thank the unions for the great improvement in working conditions in the last hundred years. It is now against the law for union members to go on strike without the support of their union. This kind of strike is called the unofficial strike and was common until recently. Employers feel that unofficial strikes were most harmful because they would not be predicted. However, these unofficial strikes still occur from time to time and some unions have also refused to cooperate with the law. As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and employers in Britain has gone from bad to worse. ( Now listen again, please. ) Questions: 11. In what way are strikes in Britain different from those in other European countries? 12. Why are British employers so afraid of unofficial strikes? 13. What conclusion can be drawn from this passage? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. According to a survey on reading conducted in 2001 by the US National Education Association (NEA), young Americans say reading is important, more important than computers and science. Over 50% of the 12 to 18 years old interviewed say they enjoy reading a lot.79% find it stimulating and interesting. And 87% think it is relaxing. About 68% of those surveyed disagreed with the opinion that reading is boring or old-fashioned. Over half teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. The results also show that middle school students read more books than high schoolers. Over 66% of teens like to read fiction, such as novels and stories. Over 26% are interested in non-fiction, such as history books. Of the teenagers who participated in the survey, 49% said that libraries are where they get most of their books. However, many complain that their school libraries do not have enough up-to-date interesting books and magazines. Even though many teenagers in the US enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week,48% said listening to music. TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed. ( Now listen again, please. ) Questions: 14. What is the passage mainly about? 15. What books are most popular among teenagers according to the survey? 16. What activity do teenagers find the most difficult to give up for a week? Section C Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet. Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. M: What's the article mainly about? W: It's about Dr. Catani's research. It says that IPad generation is losing out on vocabulary. M: Nowadays children have access to the Internet, mobile phone and tablet computers, which are visual rather than auditory. That means children learn vocabulary from on-screen image but not from everyday conversation. W: Yes. Dr. Catani said: "When we learn a new word, we start by hearing a sound, and then we try to repeat it until we get it right. Through this we increase our vocabulary from age one until we get to 30,000 words as an adult. M: That means these findings show that listening, repetition and conversation matter a lot to learning language. W: Yes. Hearing and then verbally imitating is key to understanding. M: Since we know how children learn new words, they are likely to have less vocabulary than the previous generation. W: So we should spend less time on these devices and talk more to our children to maintain the oral tradition of passing on knowledge to our children. ( Now listen again, please. ) Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation. M: Hi, Sharon. I haven't seen you for ages. Are you still working in the studio? W: Yes. I like photographing the best moments of the animals in studios and sell prints online. M: What's your goal during each shoot? W: Capturing the animal's charm－it can be something in their eyes or the way they move. M: Since you have long been working with animals, can you tell me something about them? W: The animals generally fall into two categories: some are cute, and some are striking, like the American buffalo. M: Do you get scared when you photograph animals like lions and bears? W: No, it even doesn't occur to me to be scared. I have confidence in the handlers I work with. And focusing on shooting can totally distract me from anything around. M: Are certain animals easier to photograph than others? W: Some animals like buffalo and cow don't do much, which makes it easy for me while animals like chicks and cats move around. I have to focus and be ready for the split second and the right position. M: What are the tricky parts that people wouldn't expect? W: It's a lot of work plus stress and self-doubt that comes with any creative pursuit. ( Now listen again, please. ) II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20’) Section A（10’） Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. With global events like the UN Climate Change Conference 21 (bring) sustainability (可持续性) into public focus, readers are expecting libraries to introduce more sustainable 22 (measure). They try to reduce their electricity usage and buy equipment from providers 23 are struggling to protect the environment. So far, 24 number of the libraries that have already taken steps to reduce their carbon footprint has been increasing. Devices like monitoring tools can 25 (apply) to identify areas of a library that are frequently unoccupied. The Jean Anderson Morgan Student Center, for example, is taking advantage 26 the tools throughout its library study rooms.

To keep the Paris Agreement temperature goal within reach, Dr Beni Suryadi, Centre for Energy Manager at the Asean Secretariat, stated that ASEAN needs to achieve ____31____emissions as soon as possible after 2030 and net-zero GHG emissions as soon as possible after 2050. However, ____32____of the growth in GDP and energy-related CO2 emissions is observed only in a handful of the Asean member states. “It is vital to reduce energy intensity through lower energy demand and further energy savings and to reduce emission intensity by ____33____renewable energy expansion,” he said. “Current policies need to be enhanced to achieve the NDC targets. The ____34____under the NDCs will provide Asean with a better perspective of the need for a more ambitious course of action on mitigation（缓解） in the future. Ambitious energy policies can significantly reduce GHG emission and helps our ___35____towards low carbon economies and climate resilient nations.” Earlier in his presentation, Dr Beni highlighted, “a brief record-breaking drop in climate change – causing carbon emissions during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.

He also noted that the electricity and transport sectors start out as and remain the biggest ____39____of GHGs and air pollution in Asean. “If the Asean member states do what is needed to fully achieve their own national energy efficiency and renewable energy targets, as well as their climate commitments, Asean’s total energy- related GHG emissions in 2040 will be 3,002 MtCO2-eq, 28 per cent lower than in the baseline scenario. “Power generation remains the largest sectoral contributor, accounting for about 40 per cent and 46 per cent of total GHG emissions from energy in 2025 and 2040, ____40____. “Furthermore, if Asean fulfilled its regional aspirational targets on the energy efficiency and renewable energy, Asean will be able to reduce GHG emissions more sharply to only 2,264 Mt CO2-eq in 2040,” he said. 【答案】31.

As a young girl, Switzer was active in various sports, but she faced huge troubles as there was a widely held attitude that women in sports were unattractive. In high school, she began to take running more seriously, often training in secret. She developed her determination (意志) and running skills through continuous practice, often running long distances to build her stamina (耐力). Switzer attended Syracuse University, where she trained with the men’s cross-country team. During this time, Switzer decided to run the Boston Marathon. As there was nothing in the official rulebook preventing women from entering, she signed up for the 1967 race. She used the name “K. V. Switzer”. As a result, race officials did not realise she was a woman. But when the race officials discovered she was a woman, they tried to stop her. Fortunately, her boyfriend Tom Miller and a group of men runners formed a sort of protective curtain around her. Finally, she completed the race in four hours and twenty minutes. After that, she decided to help other women athletes. The Boston Marathon finally began accepting women runners in 1972, and three years later, Switzer placed second at the race with a time of 2:51:37, her personal best. In 1977, she created the Avon International Running Circuit, a worldwide series of women’s races that lay the groundwork for the women’s marathon to become an Olympic event in 1984. Switzer went on to found the women’s running club, 261 Fearless, and entered the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 2011. Still an active runner, Switzer even completed the Boston Marathon in 2017-fifty years after her historic run. “When I go to the Boston Marathon now, I have wet shoulders — women fall into my arms crying,” she said. “They’re crying for joy because running has changed their lives. They feel nothing is impossible.” 59．How did Switzer train as a young girl? A．By following a professional plan. B．By joining a cross-country team. C．By keeping running secretly. D．By seeking help from her coach. 60．What can we learn about Switzer in the 1967 marathon? A．She reached her personal best. B．She broke a record set by men. C．She lent a hand to another runner. D．She was the first woman to complete it. 61．What is the result of Switzer’s 1977 running series? A．261 Fearless was founded. B．She won many national honours. C．Women’s marathon entered the Olympics. D．Boston Marathon accepted women runners. 62．What is the best title of the text? A．Kathrine Switzer: A Pioneer in Women's Sports B．The 1967 Boston Marathon: A Race Against Time C．Seeking Possibilities: A Woman of Olympic Spirits D．Breaking Limits: The Story of a Marathon Champion 【答案】59．C 60．D 61．C 62．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Kathrine Switzer如何突破性别限制参与马拉松并推动女性运动发展的故事。 59．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“In high school, she began to take running-more seriously, often training in secret. (在高中时，她开始更加认真地对待跑步，经常秘密训练。)”可知，Switzer在小时候是通过秘密跑步来训练的。故选C。 60．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“As there was nothing in the official rulebook preventing women from entering, she signed up for the 1967 race. She used the name “K. V. Switzer”. As a result, race officials did not realise she was a woman. (由于官方规则书中没有禁止女性参赛的规定，她报名参加了1967年的比赛。她使用了“K. V. Switzer”这个名字，因此比赛官员没有意识到她是女性。)”以及第三段“But when the race officials discovered she was a woman, they tried to stop her. Fortunately, her boyfriend Tom Miller and a group of men runners formed a sort of protective curtain around her. Finally, she completed the race in four hours and twenty minutes. (但当比赛官员发现她是女性时，他们试图阻止她参赛。幸运的是，她的男友Tom Miller和一群男跑者围在她周围，形成了一种保护屏障。最终，她以4小时20分钟的成绩完成了比赛。)”可知，当时官方规则没有禁止女性参赛，但比赛官员发现她是女性后试图阻止她，最后她完成了比赛，由此可推断她是第一个完成1967年波士顿马拉松的女性。故选D。 61．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“In 1977, she created the Avon International Running Circuit, a worldwide series of women’s races that lay the groundwork for the women’s marathon to become an Olympic event in 1984. (1977年，她创立了Avon International Running Circuit，这是一系列全球性的女子赛跑活动，为女子马拉松成为1984年奥运会项目奠定了基础。)”可知，Switzer在 1977 年创立的跑步系列赛事为1984年女子马拉松成为奥运会项目奠定了基础，也就是使得女子马拉松进入了奥运会。故选C。 62．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段中“As there was nothing in the official rulebook preventing women from entering, she signed up for the 1967 race. She used the name “K. V. Switzer”. As a result, race officials did not realise she was a woman. (由于官方规则书中没有禁止女性参赛的规定，她报名参加了1967年的比赛。她使用了“K. V. Switzer”这个名字，因此比赛官员没有意识到她是女性。)”以及第三段“But when the race officials discovered she was a woman, they tried to stop her. Fortunately, her boyfriend Tom Miller and a group of men runners formed a sort of protective curtain around her. Finally, she completed the race in four hours and twenty minutes. (但当比赛官员发现她是女性时，他们试图阻止她参赛。幸运的是，她的男友Tom Miller和一群男跑者围在她周围，形成了一种保护屏障。最终，她以4小时20分钟的成绩完成了比赛。)”、第四段中“In 1977, she created the Avon International Running Circuit, a worldwide series of women’s races that lay the groundwork for the women’s marathon to become an Olympic event in 1984. (1977年，她创立了Avon International Running Circuit，这是一系列全球性的女子赛跑活动，为女子马拉松成为1984年奥运会项目奠定了基础。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Kathrine Switzer作为女性在体育领域的先驱，如何克服重重困难，推动女性参与马拉松等体育活动，并为女性马拉松成为奥运会项目奠定基础的故事。因此，最符合文章主旨的标题是“Kathrine Switzer: A Pioneer in Women’s Sports (Kathrine Switzer：女子体育的先驱)”。故选A。 (C) Research shows that when social media use is high, depression is also high. But the question is — is that because social media causes that person to be depressed? Or is it because people who are depressed tend to also use social media more, and spend less time exercising and being in green spaces? “That is what we wanted to understand,” says Carol Vidal, the first author of the study, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. In their study, 376 young adults in Canada were asked to complete three online questionnaires between May 2021 and January 2022. At each point, participants self-reported depressive symptoms based on the PHQ-9 — a nine-item scale (表) that is commonly used to measure depression — as well as social media use, green space exposure, and physical activity. Researchers found that participants who had higher social media use tended to be more depressed, and people who were more depressed also tended to use social media more. However, researchers found that social media use did not cause an increase or decrease in depressive symptom levels over time. Researchers also found that higher levels of social media use and higher levels of depressive symptoms were associated with lower levels of green space exposure. In addition, higher eveningness was also associated with higher depressive symptom levels. One study author says these results show social media use and depression are associated, but do not provide evidence that greater social media use predicts an increase in depressive symptoms over time. Other professionals in the team also say these findings indicate people who suffer from depression should be careful about the amount of time they spend on social media and should be encouraged to integrate other healthy habits into their lifestyle. Vidal and other investigators believe there are many aspects to social media, and there are important next steps to learn more about its impact on the mental health of people of all ages, including younger children and adolescents. 63．Why did Carol Vidal conduct the study? A．To explore how depression affects social media use. B．To investigate if green spaces benefit mental health. C．To find the link between social media and depression. D．To determine why social media contributes to depression. 64．How did the researchers measure depression in the study? A．By using a nine-item form called PHQ-9. B．By observing the participants’ daily behavior. C．By asking the participants’ friends and families. D．By analyzing the participants’ social media posts. 65．What do the researchers advise people with depression to do? A．Avoid using mobile phones. B．Develop healthy eating habits.

B．The influence of social media on mental health. C．The popularity of social media among younger children. D．Effective ways to limit social media use among the youth. 【答案】63．C 64．A 65．D 66．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明社交媒体使用与抑郁症存在相关性，但未证明社交媒体使用会导致抑郁症状的加重或减轻，研究人员建议抑郁症患者注意社交媒体使用时间并培养健康生活习惯。 63．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Research shows that when social media use is high, depression is also high. But the question is — is that because social media causes that person to be depressed? Or is it because people who are depressed tend to also use social media more, and spend less time exercising and being in green spaces? “That is what we wanted to understand,” says Carol Vidal (研究表明，当社交媒体的使用率很高时，抑郁症也很严重。但问题是，这是因为社交媒体导致这个人抑郁吗？还是因为抑郁的人也倾向于更多地使用社交媒体，花更少的时间锻炼和呆在绿地上？“这就是我们想要了解的，”Carol Vidal说)”可知，Carol Vidal开展这项研究是为了发现社交媒体和抑郁症之间的联系。故选C项。 64．细节理解题。根据第二段中“At each point, participants self-reported depressive symptoms based on the PHQ-9 — a nine-item scale (表) that is commonly used to measure depression — as well as social media use, green space exposure, and physical activity. (在每个时间点，参与者根据PHQ-9，一份通常用于测量抑郁的9项量表，以及社交媒体使用、绿地空间接触和身体活动自我报告抑郁症状)”可知，研究人员通过一个名为PHQ-9的9项量表来测量抑郁。故选A项。 65．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Other professionals in the team also say these findings indicate people who suffer from depression should be careful about the amount of time they spend on social media and should be encouraged to integrate other healthy habits into their lifestyle. (团队中的其他专业人士也表示，这些发现表明，抑郁症患者应该注意他们花在社交媒体上的时间，并应鼓励他们将其他健康习惯融入他们的生活方式中)”可知，研究人员建议抑郁症患者减少使用社交媒体的时间。故选D项。 66．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Vidal and other investigators believe there are many aspects to social media, and there are important next steps to learn more about its impact on the mental health of people of all áges, including younger children and adolescents. (维达尔和其他调查人员认为，社交媒体有很多方面，要进一步了解它对所有年龄段的人的心理健康的影响，包括年幼的儿童和青少年，还有重要的下一步工作要做)”可知，后续研究旨在了解社交媒体对心理健康的影响。故选B项。 Section C（8’） Directions: Read the passage carefully. 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. Exoplanets (外行星): The Hunt Is On Today scientists believe that planets could outnumber the stars. For centuries, scientists and natural philosophers have proposed that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. The existence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, has long been discussed. 67 Although not the first exoplanet discovery, a planet near a sun-like star was discovered by astronomers in 1995. This kicked off an era of exoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and confirmations following in its wake. 68 However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable” zone. This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been explored. Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 exoplanets, with more being added every day. To detect exoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Large ground-based telescopes, earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. 69 For example, when an exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness. Measuring this drop is the transit (凌日) method of discovery. NASA’S Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets this way. As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake. 70 Measuring these slight changes is the radial velocity (径向速度) method of discovering planets. It is one of the most productive methods for finding and confirming exoplanets. These are just two examples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt for exoplanets, hoping for more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who knows what else we may find! A．Scientists use indirect methods to discover exoplanets. B．Most exoplanets are very different from the ones in our solar system. C．As the star moves unsteadily, it changes the wavelength of the light we see. D．Astronomers have detected signals indicating the presence of a planet. E．However, we have developed the technology to prove their existence only in the last few decades. F．Direct detection of the visible light from giant planets in space is becoming increasingly possible. 【答案】67．E 68．B 69．A 70．C 【解析】这是一篇说明文。作者通过这篇文章主要介绍了科学家探索系外行星系统的历程。 67．上文“The existence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, has long been discussed.”（太阳系外行星或者系外行星的存在已经被讨论了很久）与E. However, we have developed the technology to prove their existence only in the last few decades.(然而，只有在过去的几十年中，我们才发展技术来证明它们的存在。)承接自然，上下文构成明显的转折关系，选项中的 only in the last few decades对应上文的has long been discussed，此外existence是关键词。故选E。 68．根据下文“However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable” zone. ”（然而，2015年美国航天总局的开普勒太空望远镜在一个“宜居”区域发现了第一颗地球大小的行星）可推知，大多数系外行星和太阳系的行星不同。B. Most exoplanets are very different from the ones in our solar system.（大多数的系外行星和我们太阳系的行星不同。）符合语境，上下文构成明显的转折关系，most对应下文的fisrt。故选B。 69．根据下文“For example, when an exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness. Measuring this drop is the transit (凌日) method of discovery. NASA’S Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets this way.”（例如，当一颗系外行星在它的恒星和我们之间移动时，会导致恒星的亮度稍微下降。测量这种下降就是凌日发现法。美国航天总局的开普勒太空望远镜就是通过这种方法发现了很多系外行星。）可推知，科学家用间接方法去发现系外行星。A. Scientists use indirect methods to discover exoplanets.（科学家用间接方法去发现系外行星）符合语境。故选A。 70．前文“As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake.”（当行星绕着恒星转动时，它会拉动恒星并使其震动）与C. As the star moves unsteadily, it changes the wavelength of the light we see.（当恒星移动不稳定时，它会改变我们看到的光的波长）承接自然，选项陈述了恒星被行星拉动时产生的结果，star是关键词。故选C。 V. Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. Paying Allowances for Completing Chores The practice of paying children an allowance became popular in America about 100 years ago. Nowadays, American kids on average receive about $800 per year in allowance. But the vast majority of American parents who pay allowance tie it to the completion of housework. Although many parents believe that paying an allowance for completing chores benefits their children, a range of experts expressed concern that tying allowance very closely to chores may not be ideal. In fact, the way chores work in many households worldwide points to another way. Suniya Luthar, a psychologist, is against paying kids for chores. Luthar is not opposed to giving allowances, but she thinks it’s important to establish that chores are done not because they will lead to payment, but because they keep the household running. Luthar’s suggested approach to allowance is compatible with that of writer Ron Lieber, who advises that allowances be used as a means of showing children how to save, give, and spend on things they care about. “Kids should do chores,” he writes, “for the same reason adults do, because the chores need to be done, and not with the expectation of compensation.” This argument has its critics, but considering the way chores are undertaken around the world may change people’s thinking. Professor David Lancy of Utah State University has studied how families around the world handle chores. At about 18 months of age, Lancy says, most children become eager to help their parents, and in many cultures, they begin helping with housework at that age. They begin with very simple tasks, but their responsibilities gradually increase. And they do these tasks without payment. Lancy contrasts this with what happens in America. “We deny our children’s attempts to help until they are 6 or 7 years old,” Lancy says, “when many have lost the desire to help and then try to motivate them with payment. The solution to this problem is not to try to use money as a stimulus to do housework, but to get children involved in housework much earlier, when they actually want to do it.” 71.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paying children allowances for chores is quite common in America. However, critics hold that chores are necessary for the maintenance of household and that they shouldn’t be tied to payment. In contrast with many other cultures, where children are involved in housework at early ages without payment, critics propose Americans shifting from financial incentives to intrinsic motivation for household contributions.

To keep the Paris Agreement temperature goal within reach, Dr Beni Suryadi, Centre for Energy Manager at the Asean Secretariat, stated that ASEAN needs to achieve ____31____emissions as soon as possible after 2030 and net-zero GHG emissions as soon as possible after 2050. However, ____32____of the growth in GDP and energy-related CO2 emissions is observed only in a handful of the Asean member states. “It is vital to reduce energy intensity through lower energy demand and further energy savings and to reduce emission intensity by ____33____renewable energy expansion,” he said. “Current policies need to be enhanced to achieve the NDC targets. The ____34____under the NDCs will provide Asean with a better perspective of the need for a more ambitious course of action on mitigation（缓解） in the future. Ambitious energy policies can significantly reduce GHG emission and helps our ___35____towards low carbon economies and climate resilient nations.” Earlier in his presentation, Dr Beni highlighted, “a brief record-breaking drop in climate change – causing carbon emissions during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. However, nowadays we continue to hear the news and read reports that say that global emissions have already ____36____to near pre-pandemic levels”. “While we are grateful to learn that the economy is reviving and we see economic activities taking place everywhere, there is a(n) ___37____need for us to limit the growth of emissions. Global GHG emissions continue to rise, at a time when they need to be rapidly falling.” At the global level, he said, “It is recorded that almost three-quarters of the GHG emissions come from energy use; almost one-fifth from agriculture and land use; and the __38____eight per cent from industry and waste”. He also noted that the electricity and transport sectors start out as and remain the biggest ____39____of GHGs and air pollution in Asean. “If the Asean member states do what is needed to fully achieve their own national energy efficiency and renewable energy targets, as well as their climate commitments, Asean’s total energy- related GHG emissions in 2040 will be 3,002 MtCO2-eq, 28 per cent lower than in the baseline scenario. “Power generation remains the largest sectoral contributor, accounting for about 40 per cent and 46 per cent of total GHG emissions from energy in 2025 and 2040, ____40____. “Furthermore, if Asean fulfilled its regional aspirational targets on the energy efficiency and renewable energy, Asean will be able to reduce GHG emissions more sharply to only 2,264 Mt CO2-eq in 2040,” he said.

As a young girl, Switzer was active in various sports, but she faced huge troubles as there was a widely held attitude that women in sports were unattractive. In high school, she began to take running more seriously, often training in secret. She developed her determination (意志) and running skills through continuous practice, often running long distances to build her stamina (耐力). Switzer attended Syracuse University, where she trained with the men’s cross-country team. During this time, Switzer decided to run the Boston Marathon. As there was nothing in the official rulebook preventing women from entering, she signed up for the 1967 race. She used the name “K. V. Switzer”. As a result, race officials did not realise she was a woman. But when the race officials discovered she was a woman, they tried to stop her. Fortunately, her boyfriend Tom Miller and a group of men runners formed a sort of protective curtain around her. Finally, she completed the race in four hours and twenty minutes. After that, she decided to help other women athletes. The Boston Marathon finally began accepting women runners in 1972, and three years later, Switzer placed second at the race with a time of 2:51:37, her personal best. In 1977, she created the Avon International Running Circuit, a worldwide series of women’s races that lay the groundwork for the women’s marathon to become an Olympic event in 1984. Switzer went on to found the women’s running club, 261 Fearless, and entered the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 2011. Still an active runner, Switzer even completed the Boston Marathon in 2017-fifty years after her historic run. “When I go to the Boston Marathon now, I have wet shoulders — women fall into my arms crying,” she said. “They’re crying for joy because running has changed their lives. They feel nothing is impossible.” 59．How did Switzer train as a young girl? A．By following a professional plan. B．By joining a cross-country team. C．By keeping running secretly. D．By seeking help from her coach. 60．What can we learn about Switzer in the 1967 marathon? A．She reached her personal best. B．She broke a record set by men. C．She lent a hand to another runner. D．She was the first woman to complete it. 61．What is the result of Switzer’s 1977 running series? A．261 Fearless was founded. B．She won many national honours. C．Women’s marathon entered the Olympics. D．Boston Marathon accepted women runners. 62．What is the best title of the text? A．Kathrine Switzer: A Pioneer in Women's Sports B．The 1967 Boston Marathon: A Race Against Time C．Seeking Possibilities: A Woman of Olympic Spirits D．Breaking Limits: The Story of a Marathon Champion (C) Research shows that when social media use is high, depression is also high. But the question is — is that because social media causes that person to be depressed? Or is it because people who are depressed tend to also use social media more, and spend less time exercising and being in green spaces? “That is what we wanted to understand,” says Carol Vidal, the first author of the study, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. In their study, 376 young adults in Canada were asked to complete three online questionnaires between May 2021 and January 2022. At each point, participants self-reported depressive symptoms based on the PHQ-9 — a nine-item scale (表) that is commonly used to measure depression — as well as social media use, green space exposure, and physical activity. Researchers found that participants who had higher social media use tended to be more depressed, and people who were more depressed also tended to use social media more. However, researchers found that social media use did not cause an increase or decrease in depressive symptom levels over time. Researchers also found that higher levels of social media use and higher levels of depressive symptoms were associated with lower levels of green space exposure. In addition, higher eveningness was also associated with higher depressive symptom levels. One study author says these results show social media use and depression are associated, but do not provide evidence that greater social media use predicts an increase in depressive symptoms over time. Other professionals in the team also say these findings indicate people who suffer from depression should be careful about the amount of time they spend on social media and should be encouraged to integrate other healthy habits into their lifestyle. Vidal and other investigators believe there are many aspects to social media, and there are important next steps to learn more about its impact on the mental health of people of all ages, including younger children and adolescents. 63．Why did Carol Vidal conduct the study? A．To explore how depression affects social media use. B．To investigate if green spaces benefit mental health. C．To find the link between social media and depression. D．To determine why social media contributes to depression. 64．How did the researchers measure depression in the study? A．By using a nine-item form called PHQ-9. B．By observing the participants’ daily behavior. C．By asking the participants’ friends and families. D．By analyzing the participants’ social media posts. 65．What do the researchers advise people with depression to do? A．Avoid using mobile phones. B．Develop healthy eating habits. C．Seek professional help regularly. D．Cut down the time on social media. 66．What does the follow-up study aim to find out? A．The types of social media. B．The influence of social media on mental health. C．The popularity of social media among younger children. D．Effective ways to limit social media use among the youth.

For centuries, scientists and natural philosophers have proposed that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. The existence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, has long been discussed. 67 Although not the first exoplanet discovery, a planet near a sun-like star was discovered by astronomers in 1995. This kicked off an era of exoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and confirmations following in its wake. 68 However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable” zone. This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been explored. Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 exoplanets, with more being added every day. To detect exoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Large ground-based telescopes, earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. 69 For example, when an exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness. Measuring this drop is the transit (凌日) method of discovery. NASA’S Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets this way. As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake. 70 Measuring these slight changes is the radial velocity (径向速度) method of discovering planets. It is one of the most productive methods for finding and confirming exoplanets. These are just two examples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt for exoplanets, hoping for more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who knows what else we may find! A．Scientists use indirect methods to discover exoplanets. B．Most exoplanets are very different from the ones in our solar system. C．As the star moves unsteadily, it changes the wavelength of the light we see. D．Astronomers have detected signals indicating the presence of a planet. E．However, we have developed the technology to prove their existence only in the last few decades. F．Direct detection of the visible light from giant planets in space is becoming increasingly possible. V. Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. Paying Allowances for Completing Chores The practice of paying children an allowance became popular in America about 100 years ago. Nowadays, American kids on average receive about $800 per year in allowance. But the vast majority of American parents who pay allowance tie it to the completion of housework. Although many parents believe that paying an allowance for completing chores benefits their children, a range of experts expressed concern that tying allowance very closely to chores may not be ideal. In fact, the way chores work in many households worldwide points to another way. Suniya Luthar, a psychologist, is against paying kids for chores. Luthar is not opposed to giving allowances, but she thinks it’s important to establish that chores are done not because they will lead to payment, but because they keep the household running. Luthar’s suggested approach to allowance is compatible with that of writer Ron Lieber, who advises that allowances be used as a means of showing children how to save, give, and spend on things they care about. “Kids should do chores,” he writes, “for the same reason adults do, because the chores need to be done, and not with the expectation of compensation.” This argument has its critics, but considering the way chores are undertaken around the world may change people’s thinking. Professor David Lancy of Utah State University has studied how families around the world handle chores. At about 18 months of age, Lancy says, most children become eager to help their parents, and in many cultures, they begin helping with housework at that age. They begin with very simple tasks, but their responsibilities gradually increase. And they do these tasks without payment. Lancy contrasts this with what happens in America. “We deny our children’s attempts to help until they are 6 or 7 years old,” Lancy says, “when many have lost the desire to help and then try to motivate them with payment. The solution to this problem is not to try to use money as a stimulus to do housework, but to get children involved in housework much earlier, when they actually want to do it.” 71.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ VI.
