In the US，brides dress in white. Indian brides will be found in red，in the form of a wedding sari (莎莉) or a lebenga，which varies from place to place. Cheese rolling，the UK Every Spring Bank Holiday in the UK，crowds come to Cooper's Hill to go after a big round rolling cheese down the hill，trying to catch it before it reaches the bottom. The winner is presented with cheese as a prize. With the growth of the Internet，the event has begun to attract international audiences，with winners from Nepal，New Zealand and the USA. Battle of the Oranges，Italy Do you feel like throwing oranges for fun？During the Carnival of Ivrea each year，residents of the Italian city of Ivrea come together to throw oranges at each other. The tradition is in memory of a win of the townsfolk over a cruel ruler，with oranges thrown to honor the fight for freedom. Magpies（喜鹊），the UK Many people in the UK believe seeing a lone magpie stands for bad luck. Over time，various traditions have been developed to drive away that had luck. Some say " Good morning！"to the lone bird，while others take off their hat. 21.What do red wedding saree and magpies have in common？ A. They are related to luck. B. They symbolize happiness. C.

B A few years ago，I resented（愤恨）how much my sense of being alive in the world feeling it，doing things，making stuff happen—was affected by my screen time，such as playing video games and reading romance novels. So I decided to draw a sketch（素描）every day. I had always wanted to draw，but I was embarrassed about starting out because I was so bad at it. One day，I finally took a notebook and a pencil and went out. I spent 10 minutes quickly drawing some cows and wild horses. It was a happy and meaningful moment. One quick，simple sketch seemed not bad for a beginner. Next，I drew our cat sleeping，then our dog running behind a mouse in our kitchen. Beside each sketch，I wrote the date and little notes. Having the pencils and sketchbooks within easy reach-in my car or lying around the house-meant these small moments built up. Within weeks what might otherwise have been buried in photos on my mobile phone became a gentle profile（档案）of my life unfolding on pages. Now，my favourite drawings are often those of people. My daughter Elizabeth is usually furious when she realizes I'm drawing her secretively. But I think the process is full of fun since I enjoy the element of danger. Will I get caught？Can I finish the drawing before she storms off？Drawing different people also helps to pass the time on long journeys instead of spending it on a screen. Art is known for being life-changing and having magic powers，and I've surely felt the benefits. Like most people，I am anxious about different things，but drawing makes me pay attention to the moment and brings me back to the real world，making me happier and more patient. My daughter will soon leave home for college but when I look at those drawing diaries，I know we were together when I made them. 24. Why did the author start drawing? A. She was interested in drawing. B. She decided to record daily life. C. She was attracted by online videos. D. She wanted to avoid screen control. 25. What does the underlined word "furious" in paragraph 4 mean? A. Annoyed. B. Curious. C. Nervous. D. Relaxed. 26. Which statement might the author agree with? A. Art helps ease family relationships. B. Artistic skills require years of practice. C. Sketching helps improve emotional health. D. Drawing can serve as a professional treatment. 27. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A research paper. B. A personal blog post. C. An introduction to a book. D. An essay on the art of drawing. C Port disruptions（中断）are costly，very costly. While the 2011 Tohoku tsunami caused around $12 billion in damages，the port disruptions resulted in a greater loss in trade depending on sea transport. Shipping takes up more than 80% of global trade，meaning disruptions of the global port network can present a threat to global commerce. However，tsunamis are rarely considered in port planning. In response，a group of researchers have conducted a study to evaluate（评估）tsunami risk. They evaluated possible economic losses in trade caused by port disruptions while also analyzing the following effect it would have on the global port network，including the impact on shipping routes（固定路线）and ports not directly affected by physical damage. Constance Chua，a researcher at Tohoku University，led the study. "We focused on a possible tsunami scene in the South China Sea caused by an activity of the Manila Trench，"says Chua." We also considered tsunami conditions under future sea level rises." In total，Chua and her colleagues evaluated 104 scenes，thanks to the help of international experts from various fields. Each expert contributed the latest knowledge and models in different fields，ensuring a broad base of factors was considered. The study found that a Manila Trench tsunami could damage up to 11 international seaports under present-day sea-level conditions and up to 15 ports by 2100.In the most seriously damaged locations，port closing could last over 200 days. However，the length of closing did not always translate into the greatest economic loss. Ports with higher yearly goods would suffer more economic damage. The busy ports of Hong Kong，Manila，and Kaohsiung experienced the highest trade losses across all scenes. Chua says that a Manila Trench tsunami could do greater damage to global trade than past events，such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami." Since this area hosts some of the busiest ports and sea routes，the number of disrupted shipping routes would be far beyond previous tsunami events. Given the lack of consideration for tsunami impacts，our study could help to prepare for such events." 28. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By giving an example. B. By quoting a study. C. By making a comparison. D. By defining an idea. 29. What ensured the dependability of the research findings? A. Studies of past tsunami events. B. Focus on the South China Sea. C. The use of advanced technology. D. Joined efforts across different fields. 30. What can we infer from the research findings in paragraph 4? A. Sea level will affect the damage level. B. Affected ports should close for 200 days. C. Study results are similar in most scenes. D. Longer closing means more economic loss. 31. What does the author want to express through the text? A. Global trade will face more threats in the future. B. Economic losses from tsunamis are unavoidable. C. Tsunami risks need more attention in port design. D. Government should work harder to prevent tsunamis. D 科技前沿 A team led by University of Maryland（UMD）computer scientists has invented a camera called the Artificial Microsaccade-Enhanced Event Camera（AMI-EV），which improves how robots see and react to the world around them. "Event cameras are a relatively new technology better at tracking moving objects than traditional cameras，but today's event cameras struggle to catch sharp images when there's a lot of movement included，"said the paper's lead author He Botao.Tracking moving objects is a big problem because robots and many other technologies—such as self-driving cars—depend on accurate（精确的）and timely images to react correctly to a changing environment.So，researchers asked themselves：How do humans and animals make sure their vision（视野）stays focused on a moving object？ For He's team，the answer was microsaccades，small and quick eye movements that happen when a person tries to focus their view. Through these minute yet continuous movements，the human eyes can keep focusing on an object and its visual textures—such as color，depth and shadow—accurately over time. Just like how human eyes need those tiny movements to stay focused，the camera uses a similar method to get clear and accurate images without movement-caused cloudiness. According to Aloimonos，a professor of computer science at UMD，human eyes take pictures of the world around us and those pictures are sent to the brain，where the images are processed. Perception（感知）happens through that process and that's how people understand the world. When researchers are working with robots，they replace the eyes with a camera and the brain with a computer. Better cameras mean better perception and reactions for robots. The researchers believe that their invention could have important applications beyond robotics. People working in industries that depend on accurate image recording or shape detection of moving targets are continually looking for ways to improve their cameras, and the AMI-EV could be the key solution to many of the problems they face. With its unique characters, the AMI-EV is supposed to take center stage in the field of smart wearable technology. 32. What is the AMI-EV designed for? A. Making taking pictures easier. B. Taking over traditional cameras. C. Following moving objects better. D. Taking photos more continuously. 33. Why does the author compare humans and robots? A. To introduce the progress of technology. B. To display the advantage of human eyes. C. To prove the limitation of present robots. D. To explain the working method of the AMI-EV. 34.Who might benefit most from the applications of the AMI-EV？ A. Famous painters. B. Fitness instructors. C. Professional athletes. D. Movie photographers. 35.What could be a suitable title for the text？ A. The working pattern of human eyes B. The achievement and future of cameras C. Improved cameras inspired by human eyes D. Novel applications of advanced technology 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） I was excited to hear best-selling author Anthony Doerr speak about his writing life. He's an American writer，with All the Light We Cannot See as his most famous work. 36 . So much of the wisdom for writers seems good for life as well. In his speech he stressed constantly（不断地）how he regarded revision as re-seeing. I know it's important to re-see a writing project，but we may also need to re-see life's experiences. That means re-seeing people we may have biases（偏见）against. 37 .While walking the dog，I decided to look for anything yellow. Then，something magical happened. In this forested countryside，I noticed more tiny yellow wild flowers than I had ever seen before，simply because I decided to re-see the landscape that had become too familiar. 38 , especially in the middle of a big project. If Doerr stops or if he lets the paint dry, he'll lose the drive of the project. True in most activities — without constant practice, focus, and intention, it's easy to get off the track. 39 Actually, as Doerr said, all writers, even famous ones, sometimes hit rock bottom. To deal with the struggle, writers are advised to assume how they would feel if they didn't have the project. 40 Choosing to continue then becomes effortless. In a word, whether you're writing a novel, learning a new skill, or building a relationship, re-seeing, moving, and imagining life without the struggles works. A. Sensitivity matters a lot B. Doerr said he writes most of his days C. However, it is not easy for me to re-see people I dislike D. We should also look afresh at what's happening around us E. For nearly an hour, he shared valuable and practical advice F. They will be reminded life would be emptier without the project G. Therefore, always keep it going and don't remain stuck too long 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） When I was a child，radio was like magic from the silence. There was something 41 about listening because it was about the operation of machinery. These days，we listen to the live radio through smart speakers that 42 to spoken orders. And through a（n） 43 radio or a bluetooth speaker，we can listen to the radio made anywhere in the world， 44 ，in any language. But choice means 45 .Our ears have never been in more demand. And we've never had more 46 to listen：We're not limited to 47 half-hour programmes on car journeys any more；we can listen to fascinating podcasts（播客）all day long and still want more. Now，we have to accept that maybe traditional radio won't 48 forever，as the audience have shifted to the Internet. There's nothing disappointing about this，but I still miss the 49 traditional radio brought me. Now，though，recording technology is cheaper and more readily available，and hardworking audio（音频）creators can make something，put it online to 50 listeners and make enough money to 51 themselves. It's still legal for traditional radio stations to 52 ，but as for creativity and new ideas，this has probably been the most 53 time for audio since recorded sound was first invented. I think this is the 54 of radio：complete audiobooks and podcasts，and creative radio producers making meaningful and personal work directly for their 55 41.A.obvious B. mistaken C. reasonable D. technical 42.A.object B. stick C. reply D. turn 43.A.online B. local C. typical D. extra 44.A. slowly B. immediately C. safely D. gradually 45.

His mother noticed and gently said，"Wesley，it's your turn to wash the dishes. "Wesley felt upset. "Why do I always have to do it？Aren't parents supposed to take care of everything？"he asked. His father Rick calmly explained，"Everyone contributes to the household in their own way." "Then maybe you should pay me for all the chores I do," Wesley replied，crossing his arms. "Pay you? "Rick repeated. "But earning money comes with responsibilities. Are you sure that's what you want？"Wesley nodded with confidence. "Of course. If I work，I should get paid." Rick glanced at his wife，who gave the slightest shrug（耸肩），and after a moment of silence，he nodded." Alright. Let's give it a try." Wesley then went into his room happily，completely unaware of the lesson waiting for him. Tired after football practice the next evening，Wesley came home feeling very hungry，only to see his parents finishing their meal. Rick explained earning money meant self-dependence and that cooking required his payment. Disappointed，Wesley ordered a pizza，watching nearly three days' income disappear. The next morning，his hopeful request for a hot dog and an egg met his mother's bill："$6，please." The blow grew stronger when the $70 team shirt he wanted badly remained out of reach without savings. Rick smiled gently, "You earn. You pay." Almost late for school, Wesley begged for a lift. Rick cheerfully quoted $5.50.His mother added brightly, "The washing this week：$12.50."Defeated，Wesley walked to school. Cafeteria food tasted bland(无滋味的)；memories of home-cooked meals felt like lost treasures behind a paywall. Days became difficult because of hard work and mounting debt. A note on the fridge shocked him："Groceries（食品杂货）：$85.Contribution expected." That evening，the warm smell of turkey pie filled the house—a painful reminder of his loss. With tired eyes，Wesley stood at the kitchen doorway，the heavy weight of his mistake upon him. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 "Mom？Dad？"Wesley struggled to call out. Relieved and thankful，Wesley finally sat down to enjoy the long-awaited meal. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4能力提升卷答案与听力材料 1—20 BССВС BААСС BССВА BААBА 21-35 ABB DACB ADAC CDDC 36-40 EDBGF 56. before 57. was struck 58. development 59. quickly 60. to explore 61. why 62. becoming 63. meaningful 64. a 65. drives 41—55 DCABC BADCB DACDB 听力材料 Text 1 W: It'll cost you about $200 to have your car repaired, but since you have a membership card, you'll have to pay only 50% of it.  M: Oh, this is really cheap.

The driver in the blue car tried to avoid the crash, but it was impossible.  W: I see. Now, how fast was the blue car when the accident happened?   M: 30 miles an hour, certainly no more than that.  W: And the white car shot out of the road without any warning?  M: That's right. Text 7 W: What's going on, Mike? M: I got a bill from the gas company in the mail today. Heating the home with natural gas is so expensive!  W: Yes, my bill is expensive too. I guess that's because the weather is turning colder so I've been turning up the heater lately.  M: So have I. But I still don't think my bill should be this high. Maybe I should call the gas company and check it.  W: Yeah, that's a good idea. I've called them before, and they have good customer phone service. Let me know what you find out.  M: OK. But first I have to prepare for the coming department meeting. W: Oh, so do I. I nearly forgot it. Text 8 W: Well done. Congratulations. How are you feeling? M: Disappointed. I'm just disappointed.  W: But you did so well in the race. M: Well, better than the bronze I got last time. But I came here aiming for the gold.  W: What happened exactly? You were looking extremely good at the start. M: The horse was going really well but then lost concentration. She saw something in the crowd before doing the water jump. She was quite nervous.  W: At least you didn't come off. M: True, but after that I couldn't make up time. The cross-country ride tomorrow is going to be harder than today. And my friend Joey will join the race too.   W: Then good luck for tomorrow and thanks for accepting the interview.  Text 9 W: Hi, Mike. I had an interview this morning.   M: I had an interview, too, a great one with Columbia University.  W: Really? What did they say? Will you get in? M: Well, they didn't say anything for sure. But I think that with my grades and my personality, I'll have no problem. How was your interview with the University of Michigan?   W: The interview went fine. In fact, I apply to the university because my father would like me to go there. He and my grandpa both graduated from the university.   M: It's a great medical school. You would be following in your father's footsteps.   W: Ah! But I'd like to follow in my own footsteps. I want to study journalism so I can be a reporter. M: That really suits you. You're the best in our class and you've done a pretty good job in our school paper.  W: Thank you. Hope everything goes well for both of us. Text 10 M: Good morning, students. This is Mr. Lee with some important announcements about school events that you don't want to miss. First I'm excited to share that this Friday we will be going on a field trip to the local museum. This trip is a fantastic opportunity to explore hands-on exhibits about robotics. Next, don't forget that our yearly talent show is scheduled for next Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m. in the lecture hall. It's one of the most expected events of the year. Performances this year will include music dance and comedy acts but no teachers will perform. Lastly, show your school spirit by supporting our basketball team next Saturday at 2:00 p.m. Let's fill the stands, wear our school colors and make some noise. The game is expected to be challenging and your support could help the team perform at their best. I hope you all have a great time during these events.  学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
