Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. My son, Ben, died when he was 23. The year after his death, I hiked 48 of the state’s ____1____ (tall) mountains in his memory. Every step, path and peak has been a way____2____ (restore) myself. About a month after his death, my husband and I hiked Carter Dome and Mount Hight, sorrow weighing heavy in our hearts and legs. ____3____ (stand) on the peak, I looked out across the mountains my son loved. For a moment, the heavy blow ____4____(string) about by Ben’s death faded into the timeless expanse, and I could breathe. The next weekend found us on Mount Moosilauke. Then Mount Cannon, Mount Flume, Mount Liberty and so on. It was a series of firsts, of struggles and overcoming them — climbing at night, climbing slides and rocks, camping alone, finding paths and planning routes. Six days before the anniversary of Ben’s death, I hiked my 48th and final peak: Mount Carrigain. As I stood on the observation platform at the peak, I found the essential truth I ____5____ (struggle) to express for months: The only place ____6____ feels vast enough to hold sorrow this deep and wide is the top of a mountain, looking out into forever. ____7____ I once might have hidden myself, these days I hike to seek. I find Ben, but I also find myself: someone broken, now braver and more capable. ____8____ starts as the forced isolation of sorrow now turns into the welcome loneliness of the path. Hiking is both exhausting and exciting, and it teaches us that sorrow and joy ____9____ coexist. But there’s another, possibly more important truth: A hike is not the only way to find the peace of the natural world; a simple walk along a park path can have a similar effect. The internal journey of sorrows ____10____ (mix) with our steps, and we find comfort along the way. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. reluctantly B. popularity C. announcing D. unexpectedly E. atmosphere F. signature G. grasp H. characters I. trending J. demand K. promising Malfoy Becomes Unlikely Chinese New Year Mascot （吉祥物） in China An unlikely Chinese New Year mascot has popped up in China this year — Malfoy (马尔福，小说《哈利·波特》 中的角色). Tom Felton, who is famous for playing the iconic role of Malfoy in the Harry Potter series, now ____11____ appears in some Chinese households, with major e-commerce sites selling festive decoration that prominently features his impressive face, including posters and stickers printed with his ____12____ smile. His sudden ____13____ comes from his Chinese translation of the surname Malfoy, which is “Ma-er-fu”. This translation cleverly contains the Chinese ____14____ for “horse” and “fortune”, making it a perfect fit for the Year of the Horse. Ahead of Chinese New Year, fans put up Malfoy’s photos or couplets (对联) on doors, and related stickers and magnets are in high ____15____ on Taobao. Social media users also share Malfoy’s images for good fortune, with comments referring the original series, showing their firm ____16____ of it. This unique pattern is ____17____, and interestingly, Felton himself has noticed it recently, sharing an Instagram story about his character becoming a Chinese New Year symbol. Harry Potter has long been hugely popular in China, where hundreds of millions of its books have been sold over the years. The re-release of the series’ first film proved ____18____ as it earned more than 90 million yuan in just three days, fully reflecting its enormous influence among Chinese audiences. With Warner Bros Discovery ____19____ plans to open the largest Harry Potter studio tour in Shanghai in 2027, the relevant influence in China will continue to grow. Malfoy’s surprising role as a New Year mascot perfectly blends Western magic with the warm Eastern festive _____20_____, becoming a special highlight of this year’s Spring Festival. Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Pursuing a “Useless” Degree At university, when I told people I was studying for a history degree, the response was almost always the same: “You want to be a teacher?” “No, a journalist.” “Oh. But you’re not ____21____ in communications?” In the days when a university education was a privilege, perhaps there wasn’t the ____22____ that a degree had to be a springboard (跳板) directly into a career. Those days are long gone. Today, a degree is almost a (n) ____23____ for the job market, one that more than halves your chances of being unemployed. Still, that alone is no ____24____ of a job — and yet we’re paying more and more for one. Given those costs, most of us want to maximize the return on that ____25____ — and that can lead to a materialistic approach to higher education. Want to be a journalist? Study journalism, we’re told. A lawyer? Pursue law. Not totally sure? Go into STEM — you can become an engineer or an IT expert. And no matter what you do, ____26____ the humanities, such as history, philosophy and languages. It’s true that the humanities come with a higher risk of unemployment, but the risk is ____27____ than you would imagine. For young people in the U.S., the unemployment rate of those with humanities degrees is four percent, just a little more than that of engineering degree holders. What’s more, lower ____28____ may not be caused by the degree itself either since the gender pay gap ____29____ in the humanities whose graduates are more likely to be female. So it comes as no surprise that ____30____ tend to earn less than engineers. According to LinkedIn’s research on the most ____31____ job skills by employers for 2019, the ability to communicate and get along with people, to understand what’s on other people’s minds, and to do full-strength critical analysis were all valued and appreciated across almost all industries. It goes without saying that even without a humanities degree, you can still be a (n) ____32____ communicator and critical thinker. Therefore, any good university education, not just one in English or psychology, should ____33____ these abilities further. But few courses of study are quite as ____34____ on reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking as the humanities — whether that’s by debating other students in a seminar (研讨会), writing a thesis paper or analyzing poetry. The whole question of whether a student should choose STEM or the humanities might be ____35____ to begin with. Whatever a student pursues in university, it must be something that they are not only good at, but interested in. Even if it means pursuing a “useless” degree — like one in humanities. 21. A. believing B. leading C. majoring D. participating 22. A. assumption B. explanation C. judgment D. intention 23. A. luxury B. choice C. necessity D. tool 24. A. concern B. guarantee C. indication D. shortage 25. A. achievement B. investment C. punishment D. requirement 26. A. consider B. forget C. notice D. remember 27. A. bigger B. rarer C. severer D. smaller 28. A. salaries B. scores C. spending D. status 29. A. assists B. consists C. persists D. resists 30. A. chemists B. lawyers C. IT experts D. English teachers 31. A. built-in B. grown-up C. missed-out D. sought-after 32. A. amusing B. excellent C. nervous D. poor 33. A. fasten B. sharpen C. weaken D. worsen 34. A. hard B. fixed C. heavy D. soft 35. A. important B. misguided C. challenging D. miserable Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Growing up in Ukraine, Vadim didn’t know what it was like to live in a safe, stable home. His parents were alcoholics who would often beat him. They’d even stuff him into a wine container, breaking his little body and leaving only a small opening at the top so he could breathe and see — but only just a little. By the time Vadim turned 9, he was living in an orphanage (孤儿院). Unfortunately, as is the case with far too many little ones, his life only got worse there. Not only was he hurt, but he was placed in a room on the third floor, making it impossible to get downstairs in a wheelchair. This left Vadim crawling up and down the stairs, an activity that was both physically and mentally exhausting. He’d often be late for meals. If the food wasn’t already gone by the time he arrived, other kids would steal from him. Then, a chain effect began when some special folks visited the orphanage. They told him a story about a spiritual figure who advocated love and forgiveness. This conversation helped the 14-year-old find his faith and, in turn, he had more hope than he ever had before. Today, Vadim is on longer the boy subject to fate. He is a father to his own kids, and his life couldn’t be more different or better. Over the years, he’s discovered a gift for expressing himself through art. This inspired Tim Tebow Foundation, an organization fighting for the most vulnerable (脆弱的) people around the world, to ask if he’d like to create a piece that represented what it looked and felt like for him to have gone from “darkness to light.” The result? A truly remarkable painting that features Vadim, in his wheelchair, leaving behind his old home, including the wine container his parents stuffed him into. His new direction includes a beautiful forest full of fall leaves and bright light, showing the hope he is said to have found in the inspiring story. 36. According to the passage, Vadim’s parents treated him ________. A. abusively B. forgivingly C. thoughtfully D. strictly 37. Why did Vadim crawl up and down the stairs when living in the orphanage? A. Because his little roommates often did damage to his wheelchair. B. Because other children would take his meal without permission. C. Because he couldn’t use the wheelchair to go downstairs from a high floor. D. Because getting downstairs was demanding for him physically and mentally. 38. The phrase “a chain effect ” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. an effective treatment for Vadim’s disability B. a series of positive changes occurring in Vadim’s life C. a sense of hope from the story of a spiritual figure D. a helping hand from Tim Tebow Foundation 39. What is the message that Vadim wants to convey in his remarkable painting? A. He admires the beauty and harmony of nature. B. He leads a miserable life with his own kids. C. He excels in delicate painting techniques. D. He says farewell to the past and harvests happiness. (B) 15 TH OCT 2023 CULTURE Gazelle Twin, a composer, producer, and musician, opens up about being a conceptual artist and establishing a unique identity ahead of the release of her new album (专辑), Black Dog. Q: Would you describe your music as conceptual? A: Conceptual is a good term. I don’t make music just for the sake of making music. My records are inspired by themes I spend much time learning about the theme before writing, then design the album structure. For example, Black Dog was originally about ghosts, but finally focuses on my childhood, adulthood, parenthood, and the anxiety and fear along the way. Q: Throughout the album, there is a sense of an observer. Is that person yourself, or another presence? A: Both. There is the voice of my own depression and anxiety, and this other person comes from inside me, a quiet observer that always exists within. It’s like having a constant inner watcher that notices those uncomfortable feelings — the fear, the vulnerability (脆弱), especially as a woman in the world. For example, when I walk alone at night, I may feel unsafe and become watchful. We have to build protective instincts around ourselves. Q: When you started out, did you have any idea of the kind of artist you wanted to be? A: I didn’t want to fit a fixed style or be restricted by being female. I wanted flexibility and to think beyond my personal ability. Q: What would be your advice to anyone with ambitions to become a musician? A: Follow your instincts. Put yourself out there without pressure to be “perfect”. Absorb, experiment, and embrace the unknown journey. Success needs a team and time — you must love it and stick to it long-term. 40. Why is Gazelle Twin’s music conceptual? A. Her records are usually about ghosts. B. The album’s structure is a top priority. C. The word “conceptual” itself is attractive. D. Her music is highly motivated by themes. 41. In the second part of the interview, “this other person” most likely represents ________. A. a ghost from her childhood B. a friend who always walks with her C. her inner self-awareness D. her spiritual growth 42. Which of the following can be inferred from Gazelle Twin’s response in the interview? A. She owes success to passion and patience. B. Her future planning relies heavily on the team. C. Black Dog has already become a hit album worldwide. D. She expresses willingness to help the potential musicians. (C) ①Hundreds of people die at sea every year due to ship and airplane accidents. Emergency teams have very limited time to rescue those in the water because the probability of finding a person alive falls dramatically after six hours. Beyond tides and challenging weather conditions, unsteady coastal currents often make search and rescue operations extremely difficult. ②In today’s rescue operations at sea, complicated models of ocean dynamics and weather forecasting are used to predict the path of floating objects. For fast-changing coastal waters, however, such predictions are often inaccurate due to uncertain boundaries and missing data. As a result, a search may be launched in the wrong location, causing a loss of precious time. ③Fortunately, new insight into coastal flows gained by an international research team led by George Haller, Professor of Nonlinear Dynamics at ETH Zurich, promises to enhance the search and rescue techniques currently in use. Using tools from dynamical systems theory and ocean data, the team has developed an algorithm (算法) to predict where objects and people floating in water will go. “Our work has a clear potential to save lives,” says Mattia Serra, the first author of a study recently published in Nature Communications. ④Haller’s research team obtained mathematical results predicting that objects floating on the ocean’s surface should gather along a few special curves (曲线) which they call Transient Attracting Profiles (TRAPs). These curves can’t be seen with our eyes but can be tracked from instant ocean surface current data using recent mathematical methods developed by the ETH team. This enables quick and precise planning of search paths that are less sensitive to uncertainties in the time and place of the accident. ⑤In cooperation with a team from MIT, the ETH team tested their new TRAP-based search algorithm in two separate ocean experiments near Martha’s Vineyard, which is on the northeastern coast of the United States. Working from the same real-time data available to the Coast Guard, the team successfully identified TRAPs in the region in real-time. They found that buoys and manikins (浮标和人体模型) thrown in the water indeed quickly gathered along these emerging curves. “Of several competing approaches tested in this project, this was the only algorithm that consistently found the right location”, says Haller. ⑥ “Our results are rapidly obtained, easy to interpret, and cheap to perform,” points out Serra. Haller stresses: “Our hope is that this method will become a standard part of the tool kit of coast guards everywhere.” 43. In a search and rescue operation, ________. A. the survival rate drops to almost zero after six hours B. the use of dynamics leads to the wrong location C. weather conditions are a determining factor D. the constantly changing currents present a challenge 44. Paragraph 5 mainly talks about ________. A. the collection of data B. the testing of the algorithm C. the identification of the TRAPs D. the cooperation of two research teams 45. The main significance of the new algorithm is ________. A. accurately predicting weather conditions during rescue operations B. dependence on satellite technology to locate distressed individuals at sea C. cost-effective, efficient tracking of objects and individuals in coastal waters D. predicting the exact time and location of ocean accidents 46. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. How Mathematics Can Save Lives at Sea B. How Coastal Waters Affect Saving Lives C. Why Algorithms Are Popular in Rescue Operations D. Why Success Rates of Rescue Operations Have Fallen Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Why gratitude is good for you Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. ____47____ And this positive emotion can be good for our health — our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships. Let’s start by looking at the emotional or mental health benefits of expressing gratitude. There have been many studies, as described in a 2018 paper from the Greater Good Science Center titled “The Science of Gratitude”, showing that writing a gratitude letter to another person or writing in a gratitude journal, if done regularly, improves mental health. One reason for this, is that gratitude stops us from reflecting on negative emotions. But even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, like in a journal, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. ____48____ As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive. And so, the more we express gratitude, the more positive we feel. ____49____ There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced infection in people who have had heart problems. So gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives? The simple answer is “yes”. When shared — spoken or written — gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. ____50____ And that’s on top of all the other ways gratitude is clearly good for us. Maybe we should all stop counting sheep or counting calories and start counting our blessings instead? A. Gratitude can also make us feel good physically. B. Therefore, it’s easy to tell that gratitude is advantageous to us. C. It is the feeling of being grateful and wanting to express our thanks. D. It can thus help promote stronger relationships with family, friends or even colleagues. E. And this positive feeling gets even better with time. F. It is a deeper appreciation for someone or something that makes us feel a positive emotion. IV. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as for as possible. Food Shortage Crisis There is no doubt that a global food shortage crisis currently exists. With the prices of staple grains such as wheat, rice, and corn rising from year to year, more people continue to go hungry. In order to prevent this problem from growing any worse and potentially ruining economies around the world, it is crucial that sound solutions are sought and implemented. According to experts, one solution is for scientists to develop new tools to increase crop production. Researchers around the world are studying ways to improve crops and farming techniques. Two such pieces that are making important discoveries are the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines and the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico. Scientists there are growing staple crops that are more pest-resistant and weed-resistant. The new and improved crops are also more nutrient-rich and yield higher quantities. Helping farmers safeguard against bad weather conditions is another possible solution to the global food shortage crisis. Unprepared farmers and unpredictable weather have proven to be a recipe for disaster. For example, droughts in Australia have left hundreds of farms bare and even more people without food. A farm pond to store rainwater is one preventative method scientists have developed to fight against the threat of droughts. Governments and farmers aren’t the only groups that must work towards a solution to the global food shortage crisis. Consumers also bear the responsibility of helping decrease shortage. One very simple thing that all consumers can do is purchase and eat less meat. Cows, chickens, and pigs are all fed with feed made from corn and other important grains. The large amount of food that is used to feed them could easily be redirected for human consumption if the demand for such meats decreased. There is no doubt that the global food shortage problem needs to be addressed immediately. The only way to prevent further worldwide hunger and malnutrition is for all parties to work together towards a solution. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Pursuing a “Useless” Degree At university, when I told people I was studying for a history degree, the response was almost always the same: “You want to be a teacher?” “No, a journalist.” “Oh. But you’re not ____21____ in communications?” In the days when a university education was a privilege, perhaps there wasn’t the ____22____ that a degree had to be a springboard (跳板) directly into a career. Those days are long gone. Today, a degree is almost a (n) ____23____ for the job market, one that more than halves your chances of being unemployed. Still, that alone is no ____24____ of a job — and yet we’re paying more and more for one. Given those costs, most of us want to maximize the return on that ____25____ — and that can lead to a materialistic approach to higher education. Want to be a journalist? Study journalism, we’re told. A lawyer? Pursue law. Not totally sure? Go into STEM — you can become an engineer or an IT expert. And no matter what you do, ____26____ the humanities, such as history, philosophy and languages. It’s true that the humanities come with a higher risk of unemployment, but the risk is ____27____ than you would imagine. For young people in the U.S., the unemployment rate of those with humanities degrees is four percent, just a little more than that of engineering degree holders. What’s more, lower ____28____ may not be caused by the degree itself either since the gender pay gap ____29____ in the humanities whose graduates are more likely to be female. So it comes as no surprise that ____30____ tend to earn less than engineers. According to LinkedIn’s research on the most ____31____ job skills by employers for 2019, the ability to communicate and get along with people, to understand what’s on other people’s minds, and to do full-strength critical analysis were all valued and appreciated across almost all industries. It goes without saying that even without a humanities degree, you can still be a (n) ____32____ communicator and critical thinker. Therefore, any good university education, not just one in English or psychology, should ____33____ these abilities further. But few courses of study are quite as ____34____ on reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking as the humanities — whether that’s by debating other students in a seminar (研讨会), writing a thesis paper or analyzing poetry. The whole question of whether a student should choose STEM or the humanities might be ____35____ to begin with. Whatever a student pursues in university, it must be something that they are not only good at, but interested in. Even if it means pursuing a “useless” degree — like one in humanities. 21.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Growing up in Ukraine, Vadim didn’t know what it was like to live in a safe, stable home. His parents were alcoholics who would often beat him. They’d even stuff him into a wine container, breaking his little body and leaving only a small opening at the top so he could breathe and see — but only just a little. By the time Vadim turned 9, he was living in an orphanage (孤儿院). Unfortunately, as is the case with far too many little ones, his life only got worse there. Not only was he hurt, but he was placed in a room on the third floor, making it impossible to get downstairs in a wheelchair. This left Vadim crawling up and down the stairs, an activity that was both physically and mentally exhausting. He’d often be late for meals. If the food wasn’t already gone by the time he arrived, other kids would steal from him. Then, a chain effect began when some special folks visited the orphanage. They told him a story about a spiritual figure who advocated love and forgiveness. This conversation helped the 14-year-old find his faith and, in turn, he had more hope than he ever had before. Today, Vadim is on longer the boy subject to fate. He is a father to his own kids, and his life couldn’t be more different or better. Over the years, he’s discovered a gift for expressing himself through art. This inspired Tim Tebow Foundation, an organization fighting for the most vulnerable (脆弱的) people around the world, to ask if he’d like to create a piece that represented what it looked and felt like for him to have gone from “darkness to light.” The result? A truly remarkable painting that features Vadim, in his wheelchair, leaving behind his old home, including the wine container his parents stuffed him into. His new direction includes a beautiful forest full of fall leaves and bright light, showing the hope he is said to have found in the inspiring story. 36. According to the passage, Vadim’s parents treated him ________. A. abusively B. forgivingly C. thoughtfully D. strictly 37. Why did Vadim crawl up and down the stairs when living in the orphanage? A. Because his little roommates often did damage to his wheelchair. B. Because other children would take his meal without permission. C. Because he couldn’t use the wheelchair to go downstairs from a high floor. D. Because getting downstairs was demanding for him physically and mentally. 38. The phrase “a chain effect ” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. an effective treatment for Vadim’s disability B. a series of positive changes occurring in Vadim’s life C. a sense of hope from the story of a spiritual figure D. a helping hand from Tim Tebow Foundation 39. What is the message that Vadim wants to convey in his remarkable painting? A. He admires the beauty and harmony of nature. B. He leads a miserable life with his own kids. C. He excels in delicate painting techniques. D. He says farewell to the past and harvests happiness. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. B 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了乌克兰孤儿Vadim在经历虐待、困境后，找到信仰，走向光明人生的历程。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“His parents were alcoholics who would often beat him. They’d even stuff him into a wine container, breaking his little body and leaving only a small opening at the top so he could breathe and see — but only just a little.(他的父母都是酒鬼，经常打他。他们甚至把他塞进一个葡萄酒容器里，把他小小的身体弄伤，只在顶部留下一个小口，让他可以呼吸和看到外面——但只有一点点)”可知，Vadim常常遭到父母的虐待。故选A项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Not only was he hurt, but he was placed in a room on the third floor, making it impossible to get downstairs in a wheelchair.(他不仅受伤了，而且被安置在三楼的一个房间里，坐轮椅根本无法下楼)”和第三段中“This left Vadim crawling up and down the stairs, an activity that was both physically and mentally exhausting.(这让瓦迪姆在楼梯上爬上爬下，这是一项身心俱疲的活动)”可知，Vadim只能爬上爬下楼梯是因为坐在轮椅上无法下楼。故选C项。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“They told him a story about a spiritual figure who advocated love and forgiveness. This conversation helped the 14-year-old find his faith and, in turn, he had more hope than he ever had before.(他们给他讲了一个关于一位提倡爱和宽恕的精神人物的故事。这次谈话帮助这个14岁的男孩找到了他的信仰，反过来，他比以往任何时候都有了更多的希望)”可知，特殊人物的到访让Vadim找到信仰，给他带来希望，这些都积极的变化。所以“Then, a chain effect began when some special folks visited the orphanage.(然后，当一些特殊的人访问孤儿院时，a chain effect开始了)”中a chain effect指的是“一系列积极变化”。故选B项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“This inspired Tim Tebow Foundation, an organization fighting for the most vulnerable (脆弱的) people around the world, to ask if he’d like to create a piece that represented what it looked and felt like for him to have gone from “darkness to light.”(这激发了蒂姆·蒂博基金会(Tim Tebow Foundation)的灵感，该基金会是一个为世界上最弱势群体而战的组织，他们问他是否愿意创作一件作品，代表他从“黑暗走向光明”的样子和感觉)”和最后一段中“A truly remarkable painting that features Vadim, in his wheelchair, leaving behind his old home, including the wine container his parents stuffed him into. His new direction includes a beautiful forest full of fall leaves and bright light, showing the hope he is said to have found in the inspiring story.(这是一幅非常了不起的画，画中瓦迪姆坐在轮椅上，离开了他的老家，还有他父母塞给他的酒桶。他的新方向包括一个充满落叶和明亮光线的美丽森林，展示了他据说在鼓舞人心的故事中找到的希望)”可推知，Vadim想在这幅非凡的画作中表达的是他从黑暗走向光明，告别过去，收获幸福。故选D项。 (B) 15 TH OCT 2023 CULTURE Gazelle Twin, a composer, producer, and musician, opens up about being a conceptual artist and establishing a unique identity ahead of the release of her new album (专辑), Black Dog. Q: Would you describe your music as conceptual? A: Conceptual is a good term. I don’t make music just for the sake of making music. My records are inspired by themes I spend much time learning about the theme before writing, then design the album structure. For example, Black Dog was originally about ghosts, but finally focuses on my childhood, adulthood, parenthood, and the anxiety and fear along the way. Q: Throughout the album, there is a sense of an observer. Is that person yourself, or another presence? A: Both. There is the voice of my own depression and anxiety, and this other person comes from inside me, a quiet observer that always exists within. It’s like having a constant inner watcher that notices those uncomfortable feelings — the fear, the vulnerability (脆弱), especially as a woman in the world. For example, when I walk alone at night, I may feel unsafe and become watchful. We have to build protective instincts around ourselves. Q: When you started out, did you have any idea of the kind of artist you wanted to be? A: I didn’t want to fit a fixed style or be restricted by being female. I wanted flexibility and to think beyond my personal ability. Q: What would be your advice to anyone with ambitions to become a musician? A: Follow your instincts. Put yourself out there without pressure to be “perfect”. Absorb, experiment, and embrace the unknown journey. Success needs a team and time — you must love it and stick to it long-term. 40. Why is Gazelle Twin’s music conceptual? A. Her records are usually about ghosts. B. The album’s structure is a top priority. C. The word “conceptual” itself is attractive. D. Her music is highly motivated by themes. 41. In the second part of the interview, “this other person” most likely represents ________. A. a ghost from her childhood B. a friend who always walks with her C. her inner self-awareness D. her spiritual growth 42. Which of the following can be inferred from Gazelle Twin’s response in the interview? A. She owes success to passion and patience. B. Her future planning relies heavily on the team. C. Black Dog has already become a hit album worldwide. D. She expresses willingness to help the potential musicians. 【答案】40. D 41. C 42. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了Gazelle Twin接受访谈，谈及音乐理念等内容。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“I don’t make music just for the sake of making music. My records are inspired by themes I spend much time learning about the theme before writing, then design the album structure.(我创作音乐并非只是为了创作而创作。我的音乐作品都是基于我深入研究的主题而产生的。在创作之前，我会花大量时间去了解这些主题，然后设计专辑的结构)”可知，Gazelle Twin的音乐是概念性的，因为她的音乐受主题启发，高度受主题驱动。 【41题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第三段“There is the voice of my own depression and anxiety, and this other person comes from inside me, a quiet observer that always exists within. It’s like having a constant inner watcher that notices those uncomfortable feelings — the fear, the vulnerability (脆弱), especially as a woman in the world.(我的内心深处有着抑郁和焦虑的声音，而这个另一个人则源自我的内心深处——一个始终存在的安静观察者。就好像拥有一颗持续运转的内在看守者，能够察觉那些不舒适的感觉——恐惧、脆弱，尤其是作为一个身处这个世界中的女性时所感受到的脆弱)”可知，在采访的第二部分中，“这个另一个人”很可能代表她内心的自我意识。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Success needs a team and time — you must love it and stick to it long-term.(成功需要一个团队和时间——你必须热爱它并长期坚持下去)”可知，从Gazelle Twin在采访中的回答可以推断出，她将成功归功于热情和耐心。 (C) ①Hundreds of people die at sea every year due to ship and airplane accidents. Emergency teams have very limited time to rescue those in the water because the probability of finding a person alive falls dramatically after six hours. Beyond tides and challenging weather conditions, unsteady coastal currents often make search and rescue operations extremely difficult. ②In today’s rescue operations at sea, complicated models of ocean dynamics and weather forecasting are used to predict the path of floating objects. For fast-changing coastal waters, however, such predictions are often inaccurate due to uncertain boundaries and missing data. As a result, a search may be launched in the wrong location, causing a loss of precious time. ③Fortunately, new insight into coastal flows gained by an international research team led by George Haller, Professor of Nonlinear Dynamics at ETH Zurich, promises to enhance the search and rescue techniques currently in use. Using tools from dynamical systems theory and ocean data, the team has developed an algorithm (算法) to predict where objects and people floating in water will go. “Our work has a clear potential to save lives,” says Mattia Serra, the first author of a study recently published in Nature Communications. ④Haller’s research team obtained mathematical results predicting that objects floating on the ocean’s surface should gather along a few special curves (曲线) which they call Transient Attracting Profiles (TRAPs). These curves can’t be seen with our eyes but can be tracked from instant ocean surface current data using recent mathematical methods developed by the ETH team. This enables quick and precise planning of search paths that are less sensitive to uncertainties in the time and place of the accident. ⑤In cooperation with a team from MIT, the ETH team tested their new TRAP-based search algorithm in two separate ocean experiments near Martha’s Vineyard, which is on the northeastern coast of the United States. Working from the same real-time data available to the Coast Guard, the team successfully identified TRAPs in the region in real-time. They found that buoys and manikins (浮标和人体模型) thrown in the water indeed quickly gathered along these emerging curves. “Of several competing approaches tested in this project, this was the only algorithm that consistently found the right location”, says Haller. ⑥ “Our results are rapidly obtained, easy to interpret, and cheap to perform,” points out Serra. Haller stresses: “Our hope is that this method will become a standard part of the tool kit of coast guards everywhere.” 43. In a search and rescue operation, ________. A. the survival rate drops to almost zero after six hours B. the use of dynamics leads to the wrong location C. weather conditions are a determining factor D. the constantly changing currents present a challenge 44. Paragraph 5 mainly talks about ________. A. the collection of data B. the testing of the algorithm C. the identification of the TRAPs D. the cooperation of two research teams 45. The main significance of the new algorithm is ________. A. accurately predicting weather conditions during rescue operations B. dependence on satellite technology to locate distressed individuals at sea C. cost-effective, efficient tracking of objects and individuals in coastal waters D. predicting the exact time and location of ocean accidents 46. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. How Mathematics Can Save Lives at Sea B. How Coastal Waters Affect Saving Lives C. Why Algorithms Are Popular in Rescue Operations D. Why Success Rates of Rescue Operations Have Fallen 【答案】43. D 44. B 45. C 46. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一种基于动力系统理论和海洋数据开发的新算法（TRAPs），该算法能够快速精确地预测漂浮物体在海面上的移动路径，从而提高海上搜救效率、拯救生命。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第①段“Emergency teams have very limited time to rescue those in the water because the probability of finding a person alive falls dramatically after six hours. Beyond tides and challenging weather conditions, unsteady coastal currents often make search and rescue operations extremely difficult.(救援队伍营救落水人员的时间非常有限，因为在六小时后找到生还者的概率会急剧下降。除了潮汐和恶劣的天气条件外，不稳定的海岸洋流常常使搜救行动变得极其困难)”可推知，不断变化的洋流给搜救行动带来了挑战。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第⑤段中的“In cooperation with a team from MIT, the ETH team tested their new TRAP-based search algorithm in two separate ocean experiments near Martha’s Vineyard, which is on the northeastern coast of the United States.(在与麻省理工学院团队的合作下，苏黎世联邦理工学院团队在玛莎葡萄园岛附近的两个独立海洋实验中测试了他们基于TRAP的新搜索算法，该地位于美国东北部海岸)”以及“They found that buoys and manikins (浮标和人体模型) thrown in the water indeed quickly gathered along these emerging curves.(他们发现投入水中的浮标和人体模型确实迅速沿着这些出现的曲线聚集)”可知，本段主要讲述了对该算法的测试过程和结果。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第④段中的“This enables quick and precise planning of search paths that are less sensitive to uncertainties in the time and place of the accident.(这使得能够快速精确地规划搜索路径，且对事故发生时间和地点的不确定性不那么敏感)”以及第⑥段中的““Our results are rapidly obtained, easy to interpret, and cheap to perform,” points out Serra.(“我们的研究结果获取迅速、易于解读，而且实施成本低廉，”塞拉指出)”可知，新算法的主要意义在于能够以低成本、高效率追踪海岸水域中的物体和人员。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第③段中的“Using tools from dynamical systems theory and ocean data, the team has developed an algorithm (算法) to predict where objects and people floating in water will go.(利用动力系统理论和海洋数据的工具，该团队开发了一种算法来预测水中漂浮的物体和人将去往何处)”点明主旨，即数学方法（算法）在海上搜救中的应用及其拯救生命的潜力。由此可知，How Mathematics Can Save Lives at Sea(数学如何能在海上拯救生命)最能概括全文主旨，为本文最佳标题。 Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Why gratitude is good for you Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. ____47____ And this positive emotion can be good for our health — our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships. Let’s start by looking at the emotional or mental health benefits of expressing gratitude. There have been many studies, as described in a 2018 paper from the Greater Good Science Center titled “The Science of Gratitude”, showing that writing a gratitude letter to another person or writing in a gratitude journal, if done regularly, improves mental health. One reason for this, is that gratitude stops us from reflecting on negative emotions. But even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, like in a journal, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. ____48____ As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive. And so, the more we express gratitude, the more positive we feel. ____49____ There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced infection in people who have had heart problems. So gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives? The simple answer is “yes”. When shared — spoken or written — gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. ____50____ And that’s on top of all the other ways gratitude is clearly good for us. Maybe we should all stop counting sheep or counting calories and start counting our blessings instead? A. Gratitude can also make us feel good physically. B. Therefore, it’s easy to tell that gratitude is advantageous to us. C. It is the feeling of being grateful and wanting to express our thanks. D. It can thus help promote stronger relationships with family, friends or even colleagues. E. And this positive feeling gets even better with time. F. It is a deeper appreciation for someone or something that makes us feel a positive emotion. 【答案】47. F 48. E 49. A 50. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍感恩的内涵，分别阐述其对心理、身体及人际关系的多重益处，倡导常怀感恩。 【47题详解】 上文“Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift.(感恩不仅仅是对帮助我们或送我们礼物的人说一句谢谢)”解释感恩不只是简单道谢。空后“And this positive emotion can be good for our health(这种积极情绪有益于我们的健康)”承接积极情绪带来的好处。空处需要进一步解释感恩的深层含义。选项F“It is a deeper appreciation for someone or something that makes us feel a positive emotion.(它是对人或事物更深层次的感激，能让我们产生积极情绪)”承接上文定义，引出后文积极情绪，衔接自然。 【48题详解】 上文“But even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, like in a journal, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life.(但即便我们不将自己的作品分享给任何人，比如比如只是写在日记里，仅仅是独自完成这项练习，也会让我们感到更快乐，对生活也更有满足感)”说明感恩能带来好心情。空后“As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive.(随着我们训练大脑主动关注美好，一段时间后这种习惯会变得自然而然)”体现长期坚持的变化。空处表示这种美好感受会随时间越来越好。选项E“And this positive feeling gets even better with time.(这种积极的感受会随着时间推移变得越发强烈)”承上启下，符合语境。 【49题详解】 上文整段讲述感恩对心理健康的好处。空后“There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced infection in people who have had heart problems.(有研究表明，养成感恩的习惯能够改善睡眠质量、优化饮食习惯，并且对于有过心脏病史的人群，还能降低感染风险)”开始介绍身体健康方面的益处。空处为段落总起句，引出身体层面的好处。选项A“Gratitude can also make us feel good physically.(感恩也能让我们的身体保持良好状态)”过渡自然，统领本段内容。 【50题详解】 上文“When shared — spoken or written — gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too.(无论是口头还是书面表达感恩，既能让自己被重视，也能让他人感受到被珍视)”说明分享感恩的作用。空后“And that’s on top of all the other ways gratitude is clearly good for us.(这也是感恩众多益处之外的又一大好处)”进一步提示空格处应该是感恩带来的好处。所以空处需要说明重视彼此带来的人际优势。选项D“It can thus help promote stronger relationships with family, friends or even colleagues.(因此它有助于拉近与家人、朋友乃至同事的关系)”承接前文，讲述感恩对人际关系的作用，符合语境。 IV. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as for as possible. Food Shortage Crisis There is no doubt that a global food shortage crisis currently exists. With the prices of staple grains such as wheat, rice, and corn rising from year to year, more people continue to go hungry. In order to prevent this problem from growing any worse and potentially ruining economies around the world, it is crucial that sound solutions are sought and implemented. According to experts, one solution is for scientists to develop new tools to increase crop production. Researchers around the world are studying ways to improve crops and farming techniques. Two such pieces that are making important discoveries are the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines and the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico. Scientists there are growing staple crops that are more pest-resistant and weed-resistant. The new and improved crops are also more nutrient-rich and yield higher quantities. Helping farmers safeguard against bad weather conditions is another possible solution to the global food shortage crisis. Unprepared farmers and unpredictable weather have proven to be a recipe for disaster. For example, droughts in Australia have left hundreds of farms bare and even more people without food. A farm pond to store rainwater is one preventative method scientists have developed to fight against the threat of droughts. Governments and farmers aren’t the only groups that must work towards a solution to the global food shortage crisis. Consumers also bear the responsibility of helping decrease shortage. One very simple thing that all consumers can do is purchase and eat less meat. Cows, chickens, and pigs are all fed with feed made from corn and other important grains. The large amount of food that is used to feed them could easily be redirected for human consumption if the demand for such meats decreased. There is no doubt that the global food shortage problem needs to be addressed immediately. The only way to prevent further worldwide hunger and malnutrition is for all parties to work together towards a solution. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A global food shortage crisis exists, with rising grain prices.

Among the four activities, I most strongly recommend the International Food Fair. The reason is that it offers a lively and interactive way for students to experience cultures from around the world. By preparing and tasting different dishes, we not only learn about various countries’ traditions and flavors, but also have the chance to work together and develop practical skills. Such an activity is both educational and highly enjoyable, and it can easily attract wide participation. By contrast, I recommend the Global Issue Forum​ the least. Although discussing worldwide challenges is meaningful, it may be too serious and academic for a festive event. Since the festival aims to create a cheerful and inclusive atmosphere, this forum could reduce overall enthusiasm and interaction. Thank you for considering my opinion.
