Darjeeling Himalayan Railway New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling, India Built by British rulers, the railway was used to transport tea, rice and other produce up and down the Himalayan foothills. Today, it’s a hit with Indian families on weekend breaks and rail fans keen to watch traffic slowly stop as the train crosses the road, rushing past fruit stalls within arm’s reach. On a clear day, passengers will be treated to views of Mount Kanchenjunga, its snowy peak turning peach in the late-afternoon light. Qinghai−Xizang Railway Xining to Lhasa, China Connecting Xining in Qinghai province to Lhasa in Xizang, this 22-hour journey is the highest rail route in the world. Lakes shine like molten metal and yaks (牦牛) eat grass up the slopes before the light chills to a blue glow from the icy sides of the Kunlun Mountains closing in around the carriages. The Skeena Jasper to Prince Rupert, Canada With the ice-glazed tops of the Canadian Rockies sparkling all around it, the train curls out of Alberta past the Rockies’ highest peak — the majestic Mount Robson — followed by the Cariboo Mountains, at the foot of which lie green lakes as still as glass. From a panoramic view, passengers can keep eyes on black and grizzly bears, white-tailed deer, elk and moose, as well as bald eagles diving through the air. Bernina Express Chur, Switzerland to Tirano, Italy Short but very sweet, a journey on the Bernina Express takes four hours to wind its way from the city of Chur in the Swiss Alps down to the Italian city of Tirano. Running on a narrow track that includes 55 tunnels and 196 bridges, the train swings around pine-filled valleys and vertical rock faces. 21. Where should you go for the world’s highest railway? A. India. B. China. C. Canada. D. Italy. 22. Which route can give passengers a nice view of various animals? A. Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. B. Qinghai−Xizang Railway. C. The Skeena. D. Bernina Express. 23. What do the four routes have in common? A. They are newly built. B. They cover a long journey. C. They are high-speed railways. D. They go past high mountains. B It only takes one wrong step near a lake in the winter for disaster to happen. Pepper, the dog and his mom found that out the hard way. The two of them were taking a morning walk in Chicago along Lake Michigan when Pepper, a 7-year-old dog, got free of its rope, slipped on some rocks, and fell onto the ice sheets of the lake. As Pepper tried to climb back up to his human owner, the ice around him broke, and he began floating (漂浮) away! Since the water was so cold, Pepper should be saved as soon as possible. As Fire Deputy District Chief Jason Lach said, hypothermia (a serious medical condition caused by very low temperature) can start within several minutes. Thankfully, firefighters were already nearby practicing underwater ice dives. Just 10 minutes later, 40 rescue (救援) workers arrived, along with fire department vehicles and a helicopter. By the time the officials in the helicopter noticed Pepper, he and his ice float were 500 feet out into the lake. Firefighter Chris Iverson dove into the water and swam out to Pepper. Chris calmed the dog down and tied him to a safety sling (吊索). Meanwhile, firefighter Emerson Branch swam out with a rapid deployment craft, which he and Chris used to bring Pepper safely to shore. The rescue only took about 15 minutes. When the firefighters reached dry land with Pepper, they dried him using a towel and played the pass-the-dog to get him back to his human owner. Caretakers at Veterinary Emergency Group Hospital made sure Pepper was OK. But Jason hopes his rescue will be a lesson for others. “The dog was good, warmed up to its owner, and went on its happy way,” Jason said. “But stay off the ice. It’s never safe, … Step into a hole, and you’re out of sight.” 24. What happened to Pepper one morning? A. He lost his owner. B. He was trapped in a lake. C. He got missing suddenly. D. He was covered by ice sheets. 25. What seemed to be the first danger to Pepper? A. The cold water. B. Poor medical conditions. C. Rescue equipment shortage. D. The changeable temperature. 26. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. The rescue lasted about an hour. B. Pepper got to the shore alone. C. The rescue was highly effective. D. Pepper reacted calmly all the time. 27. What is Jason’s suggestion? A. No going near the ice. B. No walking dogs by a hole. C. Taking good care of pets. D. Warming up well before exercise. C Two hours of screen time a day is enough to “dumb down” children or result in depression or physical illness, a global study has found. The global study analyzed data measuring screen time, physical activity, mental health indicators and physical illness reported by 577,000 children aged 11, 13 and 15 from 42 rich countries. It found that screen time — not including school work — averaged 6.3 hours for boys and 5.4 hours for girls. The Australian-led study shows girls experience unhealthiness after just two hours watching screens including television, social media or online gaming. However, boys are more likely to be physically active, they can safely spend twice as much time on screens each day before suffering health problems. Dr Khan said too much time spent watching TV, gaming or on social media could lead to “reduced learning abilities”. “If you spend more time on screens you are likely not to do well in your study performance.” “We also found there were some benefits during the first hour of daily screen use, but bad effects on mental health kick in after 75 minutes in girls and 105 minutes in boys,” Dr Khan said. The solution to mental health the study found was an hour of physical activity, and no more than two hours a day using screens, apart from schoolwork. That is to say, children need to balance screen time with “green time” outdoors. Children who exercise or play outdoors regularly are healthier and happier, the study shows. Melbourne dad, Tom Hindhaugh, said he tried to reduce screen time for his son, Patrick, 13. “Clearly we need those screens for homeschooling. Technology is the necessary way kids can communicate and hang out with each other,” he said. “But we need to get children outside and moving. Physical activity is the key for their health, whether it’s walking, riding a bike or kicking the football.” 28. What does the study focus on about children? A. Their screen time. B. Their health habits. C. Their gender difference. D. Their school performance. 29. What can be learned from the study? A. Boys perform no better in study than girls. B. Boys are better at physical activity than girls. C. Girls spend more time on school work than boys. D. Girls are more likely to suffer ill-health than boys. 30. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A. The balance of school work. B. The proper time of daily screens. C. The advantage of green time. D. The necessity of regular activities. 31. Why is Melbourne dad mentioned? A. To express parents’ concern. B. To show a successful example. C. To support the writer’s opinion. D. To present an education method. D There is a new kind of robot called Rubion which can smartly tell ripe (成熟的) strawberries, picking them without bruising them and putting them into its basket. It sounds impossible but it is true. Its appearance is not only an answer to the labor shortage in the agricultural industry, but it also allows growers to increase the quality of its produce, which in the end benefits the consumer. It has been a fact that the labor shortage in the agricultural industry. But for Octinion Technology the focus is clearly on adding quality. “Thanks to robotics, we have so many possibilities, much more than a human could ever do. Harvest prediction, picking according to market needs, simply picking when the berries are ripe instead of when workers are available — these are just a few examples of what is possible now for a grower”, says Tom Coen, CEO of the Octinion Technology Group. “The consumer will also notice the difference, as strawberries will be fresher and show less bruising.” Introducing robots into an industry where almost everything gets done by hand is more of a revolution (变革) than evolution. It needs close group action with all partners. Tom Coen says, “Not only have we been working together with growers and test centers across the world for the past few years, but breeders (培育者) have been active in being part of the technological developments.” In 2022, a team of Belgian engineers started the development of the robot. In the meanwhile Octinion wasn’t the only company presenting an idea. Product Manager Laura Guillaume says it’s not a surprise that the company from Leuven is the first to actually present a commercial product. “By developing the robot from the beginning, we are able to make it practical in greenhouses or tunnels.” Octinion plans to develop harvesting robots for other crops in the future. 32. What does the underlined word “bruising” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Taking advantage of. B. Losing track of. C. Having a bad effect on. D. Making no harm to. 33. What can the robot help a grower do? A. Find a close partner. B. Pick a skilled worker. C. Make a market survey. D. Fix a right harvest time. 34. What is the author’s attitude to the robot’s introduction? A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Unclear. D. Worried. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Robots Can Solve Labour Shortage B. Robots Can Create Many Possibilities C. Harvesting Methods Are Worth Improving D. Modern Agriculture Needs New Equipment 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Simple Ways to Improve Relationships with Friends and Family Relationships with friends and family always go through testing times and there will always be ups and downs. 36 But by practising the points below you can help strengthen those connections. Listen more. The number one way to improve a relationship is to listen more. And really listen. If you think people aren’t listening to you then chances are you aren’t listening to them either. 37 . Keep in touch. Call/text/email/write/meet more often. These days technology makes it so easy to keep in touch. But it can never replace being together in person. When I travelled overseas I emailed home regularly to friends and I was surprised at how well this managed to keep those friendships. 38 Because sometimes you can live in the same house yet not end up spending much time together. 39 This is important with friends and family. Some people say they aren’t worried about whether people remember their birthday but actually everyone appreciates it. How you remember people’s birthdays varies. Depending on how close you are it might just be a text or a phone call, or a present. Try not to take them for granted(把他们视为理所当然）. 40 We get caught up in other areas of our life and forget about some friendships then wonder why they aren’t there for us anymore. Friendships need to be maintained(维持) or they will end sooner or later. A. Remember birthdays and other dates. B. Look for ways to help them or make their lives better. C. This is important with the people you live with as well. D. If you want people to listen to you then listen to them first. E. It’s easy to get a bit too comfortable in some relationships. F. Sometimes they will let you down and sometimes you’ll let them down. G. Tell them what it is that you love about them and why that is such a great thing. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was walking to my next class when my grandmother called.

To them, Citywalk means “wandering around the city” on foot. Participants can follow a special urban route, exploring old 57 (building) or enjoying real local snacks. The origins of Citywalk can be traced (追溯) back to London, England. Strictly speaking, this form of urban tourism 58 (be) not as casual and aimless as it may appear. In the beginning, Citywalk referred to tours where participants followed a 59 (plan) route under the guidance of tour conductors, exploring deep into the city’s history, culture, landscapes 60 other aspects. Gradually, the concept of Citywalk, 61 focuses on the quiet appreciation of urban lifestyle and cultural atmosphere, has gained popularity worldwide. Up to now, the Citywalk trend 62 (spread) from first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai to second-tier and third-tier cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved. Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts (爱好者) 63 (act) as tour guides. In short, Citywalk not only offers 64 way for young people to interact with a city but also provides them with a new social scene, where people wit the same interests and ideas can 65 (easy) make friends. 第四部分 任务型阅读（满分 25 分） On a cool autumn morning, Mia Carter headed to the city park with her binoculars (双筒望远镜), planning to take photos of rare butterflies for her biology project. She had spent weeks researching their habits and was eager to capture some perfect shots. Little did she know that her peaceful morning would take an unexpected turn. Only ten minutes into her walk, Mia spotted a small, furry creature lying under an oak tree. It was a baby squirrel (松鼠) with a hurt leg, shaking slightly in the cold wind. Mia had volunteered at an animal rescue center before, so she knew wild animals could be scared easily. But this little squirrel didn’t try to run away — it just stared at her with big, helpless eyes. Mia immediately knew it needed urgent care. She acted quickly. First, she took off her soft scarf and gently wrapped it around the squirrel to keep it warm. Then, she carefully picked it up, holding it in the palm of her hand. The next problem made her worried. The animal rescue center was two kilometers away, and she had no bike or bus money with her. Carrying the squirrel all the way there seemed like a difficult task. Just as Mia was feeling completely stuck in this tricky situation, a woman who was pushing a stylish baby stroller happened to walk slowly nearby. On the stroller, there was a roomy basket filled with toys. Mia walked over nervously and said, “Excuse me, could you please help me?” The woman stopped and looked at the tiny squirrel in Mia’s hand. Her face turned from surprise to kindness as she listened to Mia’s short explanation. 第1节 从方框中选择恰当的单词，并用正确的形式填空。每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项 （共10小题，每小题1.5分；满分 15分） 第二节 根据文本内容回答下列问题（满分 10 分） 76.

As you know, “Clean the Beach Day” is taking place next Sunday. And I’m sure most of you are familiar with what needs to be done, the rules, and the schedule, but let me review it once more. So, first of all, clothing: since it’s still quite cold in March, you’ll definitely need to wear a pair of good waterproof boots. Make sure you don’t come in your sports shoes as those will get wet very easily. Waterproof trousers and a good jacket are also advisable. Now, I’m sure you remember that you don’t need to bring protective gloves and big plastic bags, as the school will provide you with those at the beach before we start cleaning. During the event, there’ll be water and orange juice available if you’re thirsty, but if you think you might feel hungry while we’re actually collecting the rubbish, then you’d better bring some snacks with you, as there won’t be any food at that time. After we finish, however, a light lunch will be offered, and we’ll gather together and have a pleasant picnic on the beach! $
