A
Book towns around the world
Hay-on-Wye
The book town movement was started in the 1960s by Hay resident Richard Booth, who had the idea to promote his economically struggling town in Wales. Then he made it a destination for book lovers and collectors. In addition to its many bookstores, the town holds the annual Hay Festival which attracts more tourists. The festival has expanded over the years to include musical performances, film previews, and art exhibitions
Wigtown
Wigtown, Scotland, has its own literary festival, which is held each autumn. And there’s also another event which is designed to target children. And tourists have taken an interest in Wigtown’s birdwatching, hiking, and sightseeing opportunities, in addition to the books and cultural events there. Its effort to become a destination for book lovers began when it earned the right to call itself Scotland’s National Book Town in the late 1990s.
Mundal
First operated in 1995, the book town in Vestland, Norway is open during May and mid-September every year. During this time, tourists can also explore fjords (峡湾) by boat, have a trip to the nearby delta (a great place for bird-watchers), and even try to swim in the cold glacial (冰川的) waters. Books are sold in so-called book cafes and in converted (改建的) boat houses, and even at bus stops.
Paju Book City
The first plans for Paju Book City were created in 1989 by a group of publishers with the help of the South Korean government. Located in Gyohaeup, it has good used bookstores with books and magazines in Korean and foreign languages. Most booksellers have cafes where you can page through your new purchases while sipping a coffee. It also has exhibition spaces and art galleries. One of Paju’s highlights is the Forest of Wisdom that is open all day. It’s a library with donated books that anyone can look through for free.
16.What’s the original purpose of the book town movement in Hay-on-Wye?
A.Saving the town’s bookstores.
B.Encouraging the public to read.
C.Preserving its culture and history.
D.Helping the town move out of poverty.
17.What can visitors do in both Wigtown and Mundal?
A.Buy books at a bus stop. B.Take a boat trip along fjords.
C.Observe various species of birds. D.Learn about local cultural events.
18.What is special about Paju Book City?
A.Its 24-hour free library.
B.Its uniformly named bookstores.
C.Its regularly scheduled art exhibitions.
D.Its free drinks provided by booksellers.
19.Which of the following might be the best choice for parents to go with their kids?
A.Hay-on-Wye. B.Wigtown. C.Mundal. D.Paju Book City.
20.Where is the oldest of the four book towns located?
A.In Wales. B.In Scotland. C.In Vestland. D.In Gyoha-cup.
B
The 20th century was a famously fruitful time for visions of the future, but the 21st century has failed to inspire them in the same way. Science fiction writer William Gibson has called this “future fatigue”, pointing out that we barely ever make reference to the 22nd century.
One reason is that most of the ideas of the future that captured people’s imaginations in the 20th century have mutated since then. Plastic, for example, once billed as the material of the future, has become an environmental and health crisis — its durability and abundance turned downsides.
The dominant images of the future that we are presented with at the moment all have long histories to them. They include space colonization, dystopian artificial intelligence and a longing to bring back the past — but a past that never was. This makes sense given the climate anxiety and dread about the future felt by many people. The future has started to feel like it is closing off rather than opening out.
Jean-Louis Missika, a former deputy mayor of Paris, has written that “when the future is dark, people turn to an idealised past, a lost golden age. Nostalgia (怀旧) becomes a refuge against dangers, a cocoon against the announced declines.”
It’s not that absolutely no new future visions have emerged this century. But it is notable that no major, forward-looking future visions have taken root in our collective imagination since smartphones came to dominate our way of communicating.
I think about the future for a living and it is my experience that unified visions of desirable futures can inspire people to bring about change. They act as motivators and imagination engines. We can use them to visualise the society we want and then commit to work towards that future. Unifying visions of the future are also effectively used in architectural pictures, ads and TV shows; Star Trek has inspired technologists for decades.
We’re in a crucial transition — from fossil fuels to renewables. This can feel terrifying, but also motivating. There are plenty of hotspots of innovation today: look at the rise of rooftop solar energy in Pakistan, where households and small businesses are energetically embarking on the shift to renewables.
But we lack integration: future thinking that assembles these innovations together into unified visions, puts them in a social context and then constructs from the present into the future.
In my new book, I look at four future visions being developed today: more-than-human futures reimagines our relationship with nature; degrowth redesigns the role of the economy; solarpunk recharges cultural innovation; and the metaverse immerses us in vivid digital worlds.
But the future doesn’t stop with these — there should be many more visions emerging. We need to seed them, grow them and see what shape they take when we tell stories of the future once again.
21.Why does future fail to attract people in the 21st century?
A.Because nostalgia replaces hope for tomorrow.
B.Because it repeats old dreams in the 20th century.
C.Because 20th-century visions have turned problematic.
D.Because climate fear has destroyed people’s confidence.
22.What can be learned from the passage?
A.The energy shift plays a key role in future thinking.
B.Looking backward helps build stronger communities.
C.The absence of shared visions holds back future progress.
D.Rapid technological growth has restored people’s optimism.
23.What does the author think of unified future visions?
A.They are mainly reflected in science fiction works.
B.They can encourage people to work for social change.
C.They have been replaced by digital world experiences.
D.They are less effective than individual innovative ideas.
24.Regarding the “future fatigue”, the author is ________.
A.concerned B.critical C.doubtful D.approving
25.What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?
A.To explain why “future fatigue” exists.
B.To promote her new book about future visions.
C.To warn against widespread fatigue towards future.
D.To inspire collective imagination of future narratives.
C
Anyone complaining the loss of the true meaning of Christmas probably shouldn’t celebrate in China. Here, it’s mostly business as usual on the 25th. Vacation time won’t come until weeks later for China’s own winter holiday: Chinese New Year in mid-February. Santa exists primarily in malls, plus the occasional grocery store or cafe. Some members of the younger generation have started playing Secret Santa, while others have bought artificial trees for their homes and offices.
There is, however, one Christmas tradition that’s definitely Chinese: Apples. The Chinese word for apple, pingguo, sounds a lot like the Chinese word for Christmas Eve, ping’an ye, and, as such, a tradition has formed. While Americans shell out (支付) lots of US dollars for high-tech presents like iPhones and Xboxes, Chinese friends simply exchange apples.
I’m in an overlit fruit market in Hangzhou. Christmas music — though in Mandarin — is playing over the store loudspeakers. Staffers are wearing green aprons and red Santa caps. This is the most Christmas spirit I’ve seen outside Starbucks.
It’s an odd time to grocery shop — Saturday night, just before closing — but the store is full. Santa-capped employees hand bags of fruit to a stream of customers.
I walk past many tiny, apple-sized boxes. Some boxes are clear, except for the outlines of cute cartoon bears with tiny plastic ears popping up on top. Some boxes proclaim “Merry Christmas!” and “Happy New Year!” in English on their sides. Some apples aren’t in boxes at all, but are rather all tied up in festive pink and purple cellophane (玻璃纸).
I need to choose a more traditional Western package of red and green cardboard and I call over an employee for help: He’s dressed in head-to-toe Santa Claus clothes, complete with black boots and a fake beard.
“Merry Christmas!” I say, briefly forgetting that this particular Kris Kringle might not understand me.
When a friend once told me to bring apples to my first-ever Chinese dinner party, it seemed like a cheap offering until I saw the price: Nearly 70 RMB(over $10) for just a few of them. That’s not unbearably expensive, but the cost is comparable to produce we’d consider exotic (异乎寻常的) in the US.
Meanwhile, in the fruit market in my neighborhood, a woman in a Santa cap is ringing me up at the cashier.
“Merry Christmas,” I say, once again forgetting about the language barrier. Then I realize I don’t even know how to say Christmas in Mandarin. Instead, I fall back on my old faithful phrase, one which I hope will evoke what I mean: A big smile and “Xiexie, zaijian”
26.What does the article mainly talk about?
A.How people celebrate Christmas Day in China.
B.The Chinese people exchange apples at Christmas Eve.
C.The western tradition — exchanging apples spreads in China.
D.A Christmas tradition the author experienced in China.
27.In the 7th paragraph, the underlined phrase “Kris Kringle” refers to ________.
A.Santa Claus B.a friend of the author
C.one employee D.a stranger
28.According to the article, which statement is TRUE?
A.The author thinks that the true meaning of Christmas has lost.
B.Santa exists originally in shopping malls, occasionally at the grocery store or cafe.
C.The author can speak Chinese fluently with the cashier in a fruit market.
D.Staffers’ wearing green aprons and red Santa caps is the most Christmas spirit besides Starbucks.
29.According to the passage, which of the following is not western Christmas tradition?
A.Exchanging apples as Christmas gifts. B.Buying Christmas trees to decorate homes.
C.Choosing red and green packs. D.Wearing green aprons and red Santa caps.
30.What attitude does the author hold towards the Chinese tradition of Christmas?
A.Indifferent. B.Neutral. C.Prejudiced. D.Tolerant.
D
The Constitutional Court (宪法法院) of Ecuador has ruled that sea ecosystems on the country’s coast have legal rights. An ecosystem is a group of plants and animals that affect one another: The ruling is expected to lead to stronger protections against activities that harm underwater habitats.
Ecuador is near the Pacific Ocean in western South America. The water off its coast is a habitat for sharks, whales, and dolphins. The Galápagos Islands, a group of islands with many species that are found nowhere else on Earth, are also part of Ecuador.
In 2008, Ecuador became the first country to say clearly in its constitution that nature has legal rights. Since then, other countries such as Bolivia and New Zealand have also passed laws offering legal rights to nature. Ecuador’s Constitutional Court has made rulings before to protect natural environments — for example, it stops mining in a forest where many endangered species live.
The latest ruling was triggered by a 2020 lawsuit (起诉) from fishers who hoped to end a limit on industrial fishing in coastal waters within 9 miles. The court ruled against the fishers, saying that this protected area has helped increase fish populations and is necessary for the health of the habitat.
Explaining that oceans and seas are important for “the healthy functioning of the planet”, the court stated that sea ecosystems have a legal right to preserve their natural “life cycles, structure and functions”. This includes having stable (稳定的) animal populations, water temperatures, and salt levels.
The court’s decision means that Ecuador’s government must pass and carry out laws to protect these ecosystems from threats such as pollution and overfishing. The ruling could also lead to more lawsuits for protecting the environment. Hugo Echeverria, an Ecuadorian lawyer who helped with the case, told Inside Climate News, “The decision opens the door to a new way of thinking on the rights of nature.”
31.What is the expected effect of the ruling?
A.It protects Ecuador’s legal rights. B.It stops most fishing activities.
C.It enlarges underwater habitats. D.It strengthens sea protection.
32.What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A.To stress the need for the ruling.
B.To explain the influence of the ruling.
C.To show local species’ living conditions.
D.To introduce the geographical information.
33.What does the underlined word “triggered” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Supported. B.Caused. C.Passed. D.Issued.
34.What right do sea ecosystems have according to the court?
A.Preserving water level. B.Changing life cycles.
C.Keeping natural balance. D.Increasing animal populations.
35.Which is the best title for the text?
A.Rich Species in Ecuador’s Sea Ecosystems
B.Ruling of Ecuador’s Constitutional Court
C.Fishers Fight for More Legal Rights
D.Court Rules that Oceans Have Rights

36 robots interviewing you when you go to the hospital or the doctor. They offer health advice and even criticize your bad health habits.

Pepper is a hospital robot at a hospital in Australia. He looks a lot like a human. He is very 39 with the patients as well as the doctors. “If you’re not feeling comfortable enough to speak to someone 40 , you might feel a bit more comfortable talking to a robot,” Dr. Robinson, a doctor at the Australian hospital, said. “You won’t see Pepper trying to take someone’s blood pressure any time soon, but you just might see Pepper talking to someone about their blood pressure 41 .”
People would ask Pepper: “Where can I smoke?”, and Pepper would respond: “Smoking is not allowed in the hospital.” He would then talk with you about how you can 42 smoking.

Book towns around the world
Hay-on-Wye
The book town movement was started in the 1960s by Hay resident Richard Booth, who had the idea to promote his economically struggling town in Wales. Then he made it a destination for book lovers and collectors. In addition to its many bookstores, the town holds the annual Hay Festival which attracts more tourists. The festival has expanded over the years to include musical performances, film previews, and art exhibitions
Wigtown
Wigtown, Scotland, has its own literary festival, which is held each autumn. And there’s also another event which is designed to target children. And tourists have taken an interest in Wigtown’s birdwatching, hiking, and sightseeing opportunities, in addition to the books and cultural events there. Its effort to become a destination for book lovers began when it earned the right to call itself Scotland’s National Book Town in the late 1990s.
Mundal
First operated in 1995, the book town in Vestland, Norway is open during May and mid-September every year. During this time, tourists can also explore fjords (峡湾) by boat, have a trip to the nearby delta (a great place for bird-watchers), and even try to swim in the cold glacial (冰川的) waters. Books are sold in so-called book cafes and in converted (改建的) boat houses, and even at bus stops.
Paju Book City
The first plans for Paju Book City were created in 1989 by a group of publishers with the help of the South Korean government. Located in Gyohaeup, it has good used bookstores with books and magazines in Korean and foreign languages. Most booksellers have cafes where you can page through your new purchases while sipping a coffee. It also has exhibition spaces and art galleries. One of Paju’s highlights is the Forest of Wisdom that is open all day. It’s a library with donated books that anyone can look through for free.
16.What’s the original purpose of the book town movement in Hay-on-Wye?
A.Saving the town’s bookstores.
B.Encouraging the public to read.
C.Preserving its culture and history.

The 20th century was a famously fruitful time for visions of the future, but the 21st century has failed to inspire them in the same way. Science fiction writer William Gibson has called this “future fatigue”, pointing out that we barely ever make reference to the 22nd century.
One reason is that most of the ideas of the future that captured people’s imaginations in the 20th century have mutated since then. Plastic, for example, once billed as the material of the future, has become an environmental and health crisis — its durability and abundance turned downsides.
The dominant images of the future that we are presented with at the moment all have long histories to them. They include space colonization, dystopian artificial intelligence and a longing to bring back the past — but a past that never was. This makes sense given the climate anxiety and dread about the future felt by many people. The future has started to feel like it is closing off rather than opening out.
Jean-Louis Missika, a former deputy mayor of Paris, has written that “when the future is dark, people turn to an idealised past, a lost golden age. Nostalgia (怀旧) becomes a refuge against dangers, a cocoon against the announced declines.”
It’s not that absolutely no new future visions have emerged this century. But it is notable that no major, forward-looking future visions have taken root in our collective imagination since smartphones came to dominate our way of communicating.
I think about the future for a living and it is my experience that unified visions of desirable futures can inspire people to bring about change. They act as motivators and imagination engines. We can use them to visualise the society we want and then commit to work towards that future. Unifying visions of the future are also effectively used in architectural pictures, ads and TV shows; Star Trek has inspired technologists for decades.
We’re in a crucial transition — from fossil fuels to renewables. This can feel terrifying, but also motivating. There are plenty of hotspots of innovation today: look at the rise of rooftop solar energy in Pakistan, where households and small businesses are energetically embarking on the shift to renewables.
But we lack integration: future thinking that assembles these innovations together into unified visions, puts them in a social context and then constructs from the present into the future.
In my new book, I look at four future visions being developed today: more-than-human futures reimagines our relationship with nature; degrowth redesigns the role of the economy; solarpunk recharges cultural innovation; and the metaverse immerses us in vivid digital worlds.
But the future doesn’t stop with these — there should be many more visions emerging. We need to seed them, grow them and see what shape they take when we tell stories of the future once again.
21.Why does future fail to attract people in the 21st century?
A.Because nostalgia replaces hope for tomorrow.
B.Because it repeats old dreams in the 20th century.
C.Because 20th-century visions have turned problematic.
D.Because climate fear has destroyed people’s confidence.
22.What can be learned from the passage?
A.The energy shift plays a key role in future thinking.
B.Looking backward helps build stronger communities.
C.The absence of shared visions holds back future progress.
D.Rapid technological growth has restored people’s optimism.
23.What does the author think of unified future visions?
A.They are mainly reflected in science fiction works.
B.They can encourage people to work for social change.
C.They have been replaced by digital world experiences.
D.They are less effective than individual innovative ideas.
24.Regarding the “future fatigue”, the author is ________.
A.concerned B.critical C.doubtful D.approving
25.What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?
A.To explain why “future fatigue” exists.
B.To promote her new book about future visions.
C.To warn against widespread fatigue towards future.
D.To inspire collective imagination of future narratives.
【答案】21.C 22.C 23.B 24.A 25.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了21世纪人们缺乏对未来的憧憬这一现象,分析了原因,并强调了统一未来愿景的重要性,最后呼吁人们共同构建对未来的想象。
21.细节理解题。根据第二段“One reason is that most of the ideas of the future that captured people’s imaginations in the 20th century have mutated since then. Plastic, for example, once billed as the material of the future, has become an environmental and health crisis — its durability and abundance turned downsides.(原因之一是,20世纪吸引人们想象的未来构想大多已经发生了变化。例如,塑料曾被宣传为未来的材料,但现在已成为环境和健康危机——它的耐用性和丰富性变成了缺点。)”可知,21世纪的未来无法吸引人们是因为20世纪的愿景已经变得有问题。故选C项。
22.推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“But we lack integration: future thinking that assembles these innovations together into unified visions, puts them in a social context and then constructs from the present into the future.(但我们缺乏整合:将所有这些创新整合成统一的愿景的未来思维,将它们置于社会背景中,然后从现在构建到未来。)”可知,我们缺乏整合,缺乏共同的愿景阻碍了未来的进步。故选C项。
23.细节理解题。根据倒数第五段“I think about the future for a living and it is my experience that unified visions of desirable futures can inspire people to bring about change. They act as motivators and imagination engines. We can use them to visualise the society we want and then commit to work towards that future.(我以思考未来为生,我的经验是,对理想未来的统一愿景可以激励人们带来改变。它们是激励者和想象力引擎。我们可以用它们来想象我们想要的社会,然后致力于实现那个未来。)”可知,作者认为统一的未来愿景可以鼓励人们为社会变革而努力。故选B项。
24.推理判断题。根据最后一段“But the future doesn’t stop with these — there should be many more visions emerging. We need to seed them, grow them and see what shape they take when we tell stories of the future once again.(但未来不会止步于此——应该有更多的愿景出现。我们需要播种它们,培育它们,看看当我们再次讲述未来的故事时,它们会呈现出什么样的形态。)”可知,作者对于“未来疲劳”是担忧的。故选A项。
25.推理判断题。根据最后一段“But the future doesn’t stop with these — there should be many more visions emerging. We need to seed them, grow them and see what shape they take when we tell stories of the future once again.(但未来不会止步于此——应该有更多的愿景出现。我们需要播种它们,培育它们,看看当我们再次讲述未来的故事时,它们会呈现出什么样的形态。)”可知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是激发人们对未来叙事的集体想象力。故选D项。
C
Anyone complaining the loss of the true meaning of Christmas probably shouldn’t celebrate in China. Here, it’s mostly business as usual on the 25th. Vacation time won’t come until weeks later for China’s own winter holiday: Chinese New Year in mid-February. Santa exists primarily in malls, plus the occasional grocery store or cafe. Some members of the younger generation have started playing Secret Santa, while others have bought artificial trees for their homes and offices.
There is, however, one Christmas tradition that’s definitely Chinese: Apples. The Chinese word for apple, pingguo, sounds a lot like the Chinese word for Christmas Eve, ping’an ye, and, as such, a tradition has formed. While Americans shell out (支付) lots of US dollars for high-tech presents like iPhones and Xboxes, Chinese friends simply exchange apples.
I’m in an overlit fruit market in Hangzhou. Christmas music — though in Mandarin — is playing over the store loudspeakers. Staffers are wearing green aprons and red Santa caps. This is the most Christmas spirit I’ve seen outside Starbucks.
It’s an odd time to grocery shop — Saturday night, just before closing — but the store is full. Santa-capped employees hand bags of fruit to a stream of customers.
I walk past many tiny, apple-sized boxes. Some boxes are clear, except for the outlines of cute cartoon bears with tiny plastic ears popping up on top. Some boxes proclaim “Merry Christmas!” and “Happy New Year!” in English on their sides. Some apples aren’t in boxes at all, but are rather all tied up in festive pink and purple cellophane (玻璃纸).
I need to choose a more traditional Western package of red and green cardboard and I call over an employee for help: He’s dressed in head-to-toe Santa Claus clothes, complete with black boots and a fake beard.
“Merry Christmas!” I say, briefly forgetting that this particular Kris Kringle might not understand me.
When a friend once told me to bring apples to my first-ever Chinese dinner party, it seemed like a cheap offering until I saw the price: Nearly 70 RMB(over $10) for just a few of them. That’s not unbearably expensive, but the cost is comparable to produce we’d consider exotic (异乎寻常的) in the US.
Meanwhile, in the fruit market in my neighborhood, a woman in a Santa cap is ringing me up at the cashier.
“Merry Christmas,” I say, once again forgetting about the language barrier. Then I realize I don’t even know how to say Christmas in Mandarin. Instead, I fall back on my old faithful phrase, one which I hope will evoke what I mean: A big smile and “Xiexie, zaijian”
26.What does the article mainly talk about?
A.How people celebrate Christmas Day in China.
B.The Chinese people exchange apples at Christmas Eve.
C.The western tradition — exchanging apples spreads in China.
D.A Christmas tradition the author experienced in China.
27.In the 7th paragraph, the underlined phrase “Kris Kringle” refers to ________.
A.Santa Claus B.a friend of the author
C.one employee D.a stranger
28.According to the article, which statement is TRUE?
A.The author thinks that the true meaning of Christmas has lost.
B.Santa exists originally in shopping malls, occasionally at the grocery store or cafe.
C.The author can speak Chinese fluently with the cashier in a fruit market.
D.Staffers’ wearing green aprons and red Santa caps is the most Christmas spirit besides Starbucks.
29.According to the passage, which of the following is not western Christmas tradition?
A.Exchanging apples as Christmas gifts. B.Buying Christmas trees to decorate homes.
C.Choosing red and green packs. D.Wearing green aprons and red Santa caps.
30.What attitude does the author hold towards the Chinese tradition of Christmas?
A.Indifferent. B.Neutral. C.Prejudiced. D.Tolerant.
【答案】26.D 27.A 28.B 29.A 30.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述在中国过圣诞的经历,提及中国圣诞多如常,特色是交换苹果,还描述在杭州水果店感受圣诞氛围、购物互动的场景。
26.主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段“Here, it’s mostly business as usual on the 25th. Vacation time won’t come until weeks later for China’s own winter holiday: Chinese New Year in mid-February. Santa exists primarily in malls, plus the occasional grocery store or cafe. Some members of the younger generation have started playing Secret Santa, while others have bought artificial trees for their homes and offices.(在这里,12月25日(圣诞节)这天基本和往常没两样。中国自己的冬季节日要等几周后才到,也就是2月中旬的春节。圣诞老人主要出现在商场里,偶尔也会在杂货店或咖啡馆见到。一些年轻人开始玩“秘密圣诞老人”(互换礼物)的游戏,还有人会给家里和办公室购置人造圣诞树。)”及后文对水果店场景的描述可知,作者以自身经历为线索,讲述在杭州水果店感受中国特色圣诞习俗(送苹果)、与店员互动等场景,核心是“作者在中国经历的圣诞传统”。故选D项。
27.词句猜测题。根据第六段“He’s dressed in head-to-toe Santa Claus clothes, complete with black boots and a fake beard. (他从头到脚穿着圣诞老人的衣服,配有黑靴子和假胡子。)”及第七段 ““Merry Christmas!” I say, briefly forgetting that this particular Kris Kringle might not understand me.(我说:“圣诞快乐!”,一时忘了这位Kris Kringle可能听不懂我的话。)”可知,“Kris Kringle”指前文穿圣诞老人服装的店员,即“圣诞老人”的另一种称呼。故选A项。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段“Santa exists primarily in malls, plus the occasional grocery store or cafe. (圣诞老人主要出现在商场里,偶尔也会出现在杂货店或咖啡馆。)”可知,圣诞老人常见于商场,偶尔也会出现在杂货店或咖啡馆里。故选B项。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段“There is, however, one Christmas tradition that’s definitely Chinese: Apples. The Chinese word for apple, pingguo, sounds a lot like the Chinese word for Christmas Eve, ping’ an ye, and, as such, a tradition has formed. (但有一个圣诞传统绝对是中国特色的:苹果。“苹果”的中文发音和“平安夜”很像,于是这个传统就形成了。)”可知,“交换苹果作为圣诞礼物”是中国特色传统,非西方传统。故选A项。
30.推理判断题。根据全文描述,作者面对中国特色的圣诞习俗(如交换苹果、店员的圣诞装扮)时,始终以包容的态度接纳:在水果店主动用英文说“Merry Christmas”,即使意识到语言障碍也以微笑和中文“谢谢,再见”收尾;看到高价苹果时仅客观提及价格,无负面评判。文中倒数第三段中“When a friend once told me to bring apples to my first-ever Chinese dinner party, it seemed like a cheap offering until I saw the price(有一次朋友让我带苹果去参加人生中第一次中式家宴,我原本以为这是份便宜的伴手礼,直到看到价格才改变想法。)”作者仅记录最初的想法与实际情况的差异,未表现出排斥。这种对不同文化习俗的接纳,体现了“宽容(Tolerant)” 的态度。故选D项。
D
The Constitutional Court (宪法法院) of Ecuador has ruled that sea ecosystems on the country’s coast have legal rights. An ecosystem is a group of plants and animals that affect one another: The ruling is expected to lead to stronger protections against activities that harm underwater habitats.
Ecuador is near the Pacific Ocean in western South America. The water off its coast is a habitat for sharks, whales, and dolphins. The Galápagos Islands, a group of islands with many species that are found nowhere else on Earth, are also part of Ecuador.
In 2008, Ecuador became the first country to say clearly in its constitution that nature has legal rights. Since then, other countries such as Bolivia and New Zealand have also passed laws offering legal rights to nature. Ecuador’s Constitutional Court has made rulings before to protect natural environments — for example, it stops mining in a forest where many endangered species live.
The latest ruling was triggered by a 2020 lawsuit (起诉) from fishers who hoped to end a limit on industrial fishing in coastal waters within 9 miles. The court ruled against the fishers, saying that this protected area has helped increase fish populations and is necessary for the health of the habitat.
Explaining that oceans and seas are important for “the healthy functioning of the planet”, the court stated that sea ecosystems have a legal right to preserve their natural “life cycles, structure and functions”. This includes having stable (稳定的) animal populations, water temperatures, and salt levels.
The court’s decision means that Ecuador’s government must pass and carry out laws to protect these ecosystems from threats such as pollution and overfishing. The ruling could also lead to more lawsuits for protecting the environment. Hugo Echeverria, an Ecuadorian lawyer who helped with the case, told Inside Climate News, “The decision opens the door to a new way of thinking on the rights of nature.”
31.What is the expected effect of the ruling?
A.It protects Ecuador’s legal rights. B.It stops most fishing activities.
C.It enlarges underwater habitats. D.It strengthens sea protection.
32.What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A.To stress the need for the ruling.
B.To explain the influence of the ruling.
C.To show local species’ living conditions.
D.To introduce the geographical information.
33.What does the underlined word “triggered” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Supported. B.Caused. C.Passed. D.Issued.
34.What right do sea ecosystems have according to the court?
A.Preserving water level. B.Changing life cycles.
C.Keeping natural balance. D.Increasing animal populations.
35.Which is the best title for the text?
A.Rich Species in Ecuador’s Sea Ecosystems
B.Ruling of Ecuador’s Constitutional Court
C.Fishers Fight for More Legal Rights
D.Court Rules that Oceans Have Rights
【答案】31.D 32.A 33.B 34.C 35.D

36 robots interviewing you when you go to the hospital or the doctor. They offer health advice and even criticize your bad health habits.
Hospital robots have been working in some hospitals around the world for a while. Their job is to help out doctors and patients.
These robots can talk with patients. Through eye contact and their sensors (传感器), they can know a patient’s 37 . They can also conduct a health survey with a new patient and answer 38 questions such as “How do I get a coffee?” and “Where is the exit?” Moreover, they make good companions for patients, young and old.
Pepper is a hospital robot at a hospital in Australia. He looks a lot like a human. He is very 39 with the patients as well as the doctors. “If you’re not feeling comfortable enough to speak to someone 40 , you might feel a bit more comfortable talking to a robot,” Dr. Robinson, a doctor at the Australian hospital, said. “You won’t see Pepper trying to take someone’s blood pressure any time soon, but you just might see Pepper talking to someone about their blood pressure 41 .”
People would ask Pepper: “Where can I smoke?”, and Pepper would respond: “Smoking is not allowed in the hospital.” He would then talk with you about how you can 42 smoking.
However, according to Dr. Robinson, we will 43 see a hospital without doctors. We need doctors, and we need nurses to 44 people.
The hospital robots cost tens of thousands of dollars, but, with mass production, they will become more affordable and, in the end, probably cheaper than 45 humans to do those jobs.

46.考查定语从句关系词。句意:清明节在四月初庆祝,此时气温开始回升,降雨量增加,正是春耕播种的好时机。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为Qingming,指物,从句中缺少主语,因此用关系代词which,故填which。
47.考查动词时态及主谓一致。句意:清明节在四月初庆祝,此时气温开始回升,降雨量增加,正是春耕播种的好时机。句子描述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语temperature为不可数名词,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式,故填begins。

52.考查形容词。句意:春日阳光让万物复苏,这是欣赏户外美景的最佳时节。修饰名词scenes应用形容词,beauty的形容词形式为beautiful,意为“美丽的”,故填beautiful。
53.考查非谓语动词。句意:温和的气温和清新的空气令人放松、缓解压力,使得踏青成为忙碌现代生活人群的另一休闲选择。句子已有谓语动词are,此处用现在分词作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,故填making。
