But I'm in one of those right now. I'm in a rehearsal room in a theatre with a group of actors, facing up to stage fighting director Kate Waters. She wants me to hit her with my fist. But fear not, this is all strictly pretend! Kate, known in the industry as Kombat Kate, is giving a lesson on how actors fight each other without getting hurt. Already a passionate martial arts expert from childhood, Kate did drama at university, and one of her courses introduced her to stage fighting. When she made inquiries about the possibility of teaching it as a career, she was told about the register of stage fight directors and the qualifications she'd need to be accepted into it. It was no small order: as well as a certificate in advanced stage fighting, she would need a black belt in karate (空手道) and skill in fencing, a sport she'd never tried before. But she rose to the challenge and finally successfully became one of only two women on the official register. Of course, a stage fight is just smoke and mirrors. In our lesson, Kate shows me how an actor will stand with his or her back to the audience ahead of a planned slap (拍). When the slap comes it makes contact not with the skin but with the air: the actor hits his chest or leg to make the sound of the slap. In the rehearsal room, I can't resist asking Kate how she thinks she would do in a real fight.Would she give her attacker a hard time? She laughs,“Oh, I’ d be awful,” she says.“I only know how to pretend.” I can't help thinking, however, that she's just being rather humble. 24. Why does Kate ask the author to hit her? A. To show actors stage fighting skills. B. To teach actors to defend themselves. C. To help actors rehearse an action scene. D. To attract actors' interest in martial arts. 25. What was a challenge Kate faced in becoming a stage fight director? A. She could not find a female teacher. B. She had no prior experience in drama. C. She had to master an unfamiliar sport. D. She had trouble obtaining a certificate. 26. What do the underlined words“smoke and mirrors” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A difficult technique. B. A dangerous situation. C. A well-planned lesson. D. A misleading performance. 27. What does the author imply about Kate's real fighting ability? A. She relies a lot on tricks. B. She may lack confidence in herself. C. She might be better than she admits. D. She excels more at performing than fighting. C Biologist E. O. Wilson once wrote that“ants are the most warlike of all animals”, noting that fights between ant colonies (蚁群) were far bigger than the human battles at Waterloo and Gettysburg. But sometimes ant colonies get taken over not by direct warfare, but by secret action. In fact, sometimes the members of an ant colony can get tricked into murdering their own precious queen. The role of queen is the most important in an ant colony —— she produces all the eggs, and she's cared for by workers. As a colony matures and grows, it generates reproductive females that fly off to found new colonies. But to do this, these females face great danger outside the nest, so some take shortcuts.Ant expert Keizo Takasuka and his team lab-observed ant species and uncovered their queen-killing strategies. First, the female ant needs some hiding methods so that she can enter the targeted colony without being detected as an outsider. Since ants mainly tell friend from enemy using chemical signals, the female ant can pick up the necessary smell by coming into contact with some of the colony's workers. The experts gave females the opportunity to do this in the lab, letting them interact with workers from two other species. Then, the scientists discovered a female made her way through a colony towards its queen.Once she reached the queen, she shot some liquid to cover the queen, and then pulled back.“My guess is that it was a kind of chemical,” says Takasuka. That's used by some ants as a defense, or to signal danger. Whatever it was, putting this chemical onto the queen had a dramatic effect. Large groups of workers who had been loyal, ready to lay down their lives to protect their queen —— who was their biological mother —— suddenly turned on her, attacking her violently until she was dead. After that, the colony's ants accepted the new female as their new queen and began serving her, protecting her and helping raise her young. 28. What is the author's purpose by mentioning Waterloo and Gettysburg? A. To compare war strategies. B. To show ants' war size. C. To highlight war's cruelty. D. To explain ants' war signals. 29. What did the experts make the female ants do in the lab? A. Build up a new nest. B. Kill the queen directly. C. Contact foreign workers. D. Produce chemical liquids. 30. Why did the ant workers kill their queen? A. They followed a natural order. B. They wanted to have a new queen. C. They were threatened by outsiders. D. They were misled by her new smell. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Conflicts among Ant Colonies B. The Important Roles of a Queen C. Chemical Tricks of a New Queen D. The Rules within Ant Colonies D When Martin Roth began his career as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest in a way that would ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it's more about planning for an uncertain future.“It's turned into disaster management,”says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany act as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname“digital forest ranger” in the German forestry community. After a disastrous storm, the clock starts ticking: damaged trees need to be removed before the arrival of bark beetles (甲虫), which breed in dead trees and can go on to destroy entire forests. While it used to take Roth two and a half hours to cover an acre of forest on foot,drones(无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in a matter of days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, identify and inform the owners of affected plots, and send information to workers on the ground. His most recent project is combining body camera footage with AI.“Usually you mark the trees, they' re cut down, and you have no idea how much timber you' ll end up with—— how many cubic meters, what quality, which tree species,” he explains. Now AI,“looking” through his body camera, automatically recognizes the tree species he has marked and estimates the amount of timber it will produce, sending the information to his phone in real time. Roth's experience in tackling the challenges of modern forestry with technology is increasingly sought after—— colleagues reach out for advice, and he lectures in forestry at the Rot ten burg University of Applied Forest Sciences. But he warns that technology can never replace a walk through the forest:“I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.” 32. What effect has climate change on Martin Roth's work? A. It made his job focus on long-lasting forest continuity. B. It reduced the importance of traditional forestry skills. C. It required him to abandon technology-based methods. D. It shifted his role toward managing unexpected disasters. 33. How do drones help Roth after a disastrous storm? A. Kill bark beetles quickly. B. Assess forest damage efficiently. C. Predict the future climate change. D. Replace the work of ground workers. 34. What does Roth imply by mentioning“reality check” in the last paragraph? A. Digital tools must be tested in extreme weather. B. AI's calculations are often unsafe and unreliable. C. Technology will soon make forest rangers unnecessary. D. Virtual models cannot fully replace on-site inspections. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To describe the life story of a German forest ranger. B. To warn about the dangers of climate change to forests. C. To introduce how technology transforms modern forestry. D. To criticize the overuse of drones in environmental protection. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as“spaving”, defined as the act of“spending more to save more”.36 Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings. Take a second to do the math. The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to get a great deal. 37 For example, for some“buy more, save more” deals,the percent discount is often the same. However, the original price of a product acts as an anchor, making the discount appear more valuable than it actually is. By doing the math, you' ll quickly realize that the savings aren't as significant as they seem. 38 You won't feel the impulse to shop sales if you don't know about them.Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening. Similarly, don't walk into a store if you know there is a sale going on. Stay focused on your shopping list.

That is the concept of a loss leader(低价引流产品):a certain product that is sold below its cost 56 (attract) customers to the store,where they are likely to buy other 57 (profit) products. The most famous example is Costco's $1.50 hot dog-and-soda combination, 58 deal so successful that it sells 130million a year. But over the past year, across the Pacific, a new king 59 (emerge). It is an ice cream cone (甜筒) 60 typically costs 40 cents — and customers buy about 700million a year. The Chinese company behind the cone, Mixue Ice Cream & Tea, has topped McDonald's and Starbucks 61 the world's largest fast-food chain by the number of stores, 62 (most) in Asia. It did so by perfecting the modern science of making money by losing money. The classic version of the loss leader is to price a product at a low price 63 put it in the far back of the store. Chances are that customers are going to pick up other full-priced items in the store while buying that loss leader. However, Mixue stores, often small 64 (stand), can't direct customers through a shopping maze(迷宫). Instead, they put the ice cream on top of the menu,65 (follow) by about 35 items that make money. Though Mixue calls the cone its signature item, it sells many more drinks— more than 7billion last year. Those typically cost closer to a dollar. 第四部分写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 假定你是李华,以“Chinese Medicine: A Treasure of World Civilization”为题,为英文杂志写一篇短文，内容包括： 1. 介绍中医的悠久历史；2.阐述中医的当代价值及对世界的贡献，体现文化自信。注意：1.词数 80词左右；2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I reached into my backpack, feeling for my cellphone. I was tired of Aunt Letty talking on and on about her chickens, horses and cows. Worse, I was afraid of having to spend spring break at her farm. In spite of my protest, my parents decided that spending time at the farm would be a great experience for me. My parents both grew up on farms and believed that responsibility, hard work and respect for the land were valuable lessons.“Lessons you need to learn, son,” they said. “So, have you ever ridden a horse?” Aunt Letty asked, trying to turn my attention away from my phone. “ Hmmm, no. But I' ve seen horses on TV,” I answered, absent-minded. “Well, we' ve got a nice horse I think you' ll like. Hercules —— sounds like a beast, but he’ s a gentle giant. The other animals have names too, but don't worry, you won't have to remember their names. If you show up at the gate with feed, they' re happy!” she said smiling. I glanced at my aunt, angry that I was expected to work. Vacations were meant for sleeping late, playing video games, and maybe skateboarding. I tried to text a friend. “Phones don't work well out here. With all the hills and valleys, it's hard to get a connection.” I continued texting, but she was right—— there was no cell reception. The next few days were busy. We had breakfast before dawn. Then we went out to the barn to get the feed while the animals waited to be fed. The afternoons were occupied with hauling hay, clean-up, and caring for the animals. The animals depended on Aunt Letty, but they also provided her with affection and necessities such as eggs, milk and cheese. At dusk, when the farm was finally quiet, Aunt Letty stretched her arms out and said,“Just take a deep breath of the sweet country air!” I, exhausted, was unable to appreciate my work. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the fourth day, Aunt Letty announced,“It's time to meet Hercules.” After the ride, time on the farm seemed to be different. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
