It was inspired by the local fishermen who used to toss fish onto their trucks. Competitors will throw a 10kg fish and the winner is the person who throws the farthest. ●Hot Dog Eating Contest Competitive eating has become popular in the past years and its participants try to eat as many hot dogs as they can in ten minutes. This sport began in the U.S. city fairs and has gained recognition due to Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, held annually on the 4th of July. The sport has turned into a huge industry and is now popular in the U.S., Canada, and Japan. ●Wife Carrying It’s a sport in which male competitors race while carrying a female teammate through a special track in the shortest time. This game has its origins in Finland. It developed into a worldwide game later and had the first foreign champion from Australia. The North American Wife Carrying Champion began in 1999. Now the World Wife Carrying Championship has teams competing from Australia, Germany, Britain, Estonia, Ireland, and the United States. ●Palm Tree Climbing (爬棕榈树) Independence Day in Indonesia is on August 17th. This day is celebrated by various competitions. Climbing the palm trunk is the most difficult one. The smooth, oiled trunk is a problem.

B I’m Thomas from the United Kingdom, working in Beijing, and I’m a shopping addict (迷). The main source of my addiction is Taobao, China’s massive online shopping platform — a place for everything from clothes to books, and everything in between. It makes Amazon look like a corner shop. My favorite is mostly books and different kinds of water bottles. My cupboard has a shelf full of them, many of which my size will no longer allow me to crowd into. What’s worse is that the app’s very clever algorithms (算法) track what I look through, so every time I open it on my phone, I am greeted by an advertisement inviting me to dip deeper into my digital wallet. I don’t even have to open the app. They are available to purchase with just a tap of my finger. Once you make an order, you need to wait. The shipping gives your heart a little hit. Then there’s another little rush of endorphins (内啡肽) when the delivery person picks it up. You watch your package edging its way up the map to Beijing. When the app tells you it’s on the delivery bike, the same excitement as a kid on Christmas morning takes hold as you wait for the knock at the door. Much like a little dog waiting for its master to return home from work. The packaging is eagerly removed, exciting another hit of happiness. An hour later, the buyer’s regret comes. To make yourself feel better, you start using the app once more and the cycle starts all over again. I could blame (责备) my addiction on Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, Taobao’s parent company, or point a finger at Liu Qiangdong, founder of JD, a similarly addictive domestic shopping app. I could even blame Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who started all this e-commerce. “Surely, Thomas,” I hear you ask, “instead of blaming poor billionaires, you should take responsibility for your own sudden desire and lack of willpower.” 6. Why is Thomas crazy about Taobao? A. It helps bring in money. B. He prefers online platforms. C. It offers multiple item options. D. Amazon is too distant to access. 7. How can Thomas’s phone know what he prefers? A. His digital wallet pays for it automatically. B. He searches online when he opens the phone. C. He communicates with the Taobao business owner. D. The app’s algorithms follow his digital footprints. 8. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The author’s expectation of the purchased item. B. The challenges of online shopping. C. The long journey of a purchased item. D. The accuracy of the shopping app. 9. What does the author want to convey in this passage? A. We should say no to e-commerce. B. We should blame Taobao. C. We should be responsible for our purchasing. D. We should admire billionaires. 10. What can we infer about Thomas from the passage? A. He has a strong will against online shopping. B. He finds himself trapped in the shopping cycle. C. He seldom feels happy when receiving the goods. D. He has stopped using online shopping apps. C In 2021, scientists studying animal communication discovered that some dogs connect objects with words similarly to babies. Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs? Saho Takagi, a researcher at Azabu University, doubted cats’ seeming unconcern. “Cats don’t appear to listen to people’s conversations, but in fact, they do,” said Takagi. According to previous research, cats understand human communication better than expected. Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and states of attention, according to a 2016 study. However, cats can do more than that. Another study showed that cats can discriminate their own names from the names of their cat companions (those that live in the same house). The researchers believed that cats learned to connect names with other cats by observing communication between their owners and their cat friends. In a recently published study, Takagi and her colleagues compared two groups of cats: cats living with at least two other cats and cats living in “cat cafés” with up to 30 cats. Using a simple two-phase (阶段) test, they assessed the cats’ responses to hearing their names and seeing their faces on a monitor: Sometimes, the cat that appeared on the screen matched the name spoken; other times, the name and the image did not match. If cats knew the names of their cat friends, they would investigate by staring doubtfully at the monitor when the name and image did not match. House cats had a significantly longer stare than café cats, indicating that house cats generally expected a specific cat’s face upon hearing the cat’s name. “This is the first evidence showing that house cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences,” the researchers wrote. “However, we could not recognize the mechanism (机制) for learning. But with more and more scientists becoming interested in cats, who are much smarter than we assume, this question is sure to be solved.” 11. What’s people’s common understanding of cats? A. They have their own language. B. They can connect objects with words. C. They show no interest in human things. D. They can use human instructions to find food. 12. By comparing cats and dogs in Paragraph 2, the author wants to stress ________. A. Cats and dogs are all clever animals. B. Cats’ ability to learn is stronger than dogs’. C. Cats and dogs can get along well with humans. D. Cats’ ability goes beyond recognizing body language. 13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “discriminate” in Paragraph 3? A. Choose. B. Protect. C. Tell. D. Learn. 14. What is the unsettled question of the study? A. How cats can recognize other cats’ face. B. Whether cats are much smarter than expected. C. Whether cats can understand human communication. D. How cats link human words and their social companions. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Dogs: Cleverer than Cats in Learning. B. House Cats vs Café Cats: A New Test C. Cats: Smarter than We Think D. Ways of Cats Communicating with Humans 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。 How to Get Along with Friends Movies and TV shows make friendships seem effortless with little conflict, but real-life friendships require effort and can be complicated. ____16____ Be positive.

In a gesture to trigger students’ passion for reading and enrich our school life, our school held a series of wonderful reading-related activities last week. To begin with, we had a book fair on the playground where different classes set up their booths, displaying a wide range of books. We could wander around, flip through the pages, and even exchange books with each other. What’s more, several well-known local authors were invited to give lectures, who talked about their writing experiences and the significance of reading in their lives. Personally, I’ve reaped great benefits from these activities. Not only have I discovered some new books that I’m really eager to dive into but also I have realized that reading is a journey of self-improvement. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
