She celebrated her 70th birthday last year. In 1955, Dutch artist Dick Bruna drew this cute rabbit. At the time, he didn’t expect so many people around the world to love her. Today, there are books about Miffy in more than 50 languages. People love Miffy so much because of her simple design. She only has two small dots (点) for her eyes and a cross for her mouth. This design lets people know her right away, even with just two dots and a cross. Miffy’s spirit has also won the hearts of many. “She loves her parents. She loves being cute and young,” Fashion Journal editor Maggie Zhou said. According to Refinery 29, a creative website about women’s trends, both the young and the old love Miffy because she likes trying new things and always sees the good in everything. Nostalgia (怀旧) is also a big part of why she is so popular now. The simple white rabbit was part of many people’s childhoods and their love for her has never gone away. Shannen Young is one such fan. She believes Miffy connects (连接) her childhood with her adulthood. “It’s a hard feeling to describe sometimes but you just know it’s quite special,” Young told BDG Media. 1．What makes Miffy popular?

You’ve probably never seen a movie quite like this one. Loving Vincent is the first animated film in the world to be made entirely with paintings. Every scene uses oil paint on canvas (画布). Twelve paintings were needed just to show one second of the film. It took more than 100 artists seven years to complete it. The movie has gotten good reviews since it came out on the Chinese mainland on December 8th. Its box office ( 票 房 ) earnings have reached over $20 million (132. 43 million yuan) worldwide. The film tells the story of the final months of famous Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh (1853－1890). The story is told through his paintings and the characters in them. It shows his death as being part of a murder mystery, as Hollywood Reporter said. A young man named Armand Roulin serves as both detective and storyteller. A year after the death of Vincent van Gogh, Armand is instructed by his father, Postman Joseph Roulin, to personally deliver a letter to Vincent’s brother, Theo. Armand isn’t fond of Van Gogh, but to please his father he agrees to give the letter, travelling across Europe to the town where Vincent spent his final months. When he finds that Theo has died of a disease shortly after his brother, he visits several important people in Van Gogh’s life to find out the truth behind his death. He talks with Van Gogh’s friend, a doctor, and the owner of the hotel he lived in. But each person tells a different story. There are many examples of the artist’s work in the movie. It shows over 120 of his paintings, such as The Night Café, Wheatfield with Crows, and The Starry Night. It’s no wonder Empire Magazine called it “one of the most beautiful films of 2017”. The real-life letters that Van Gogh wrote to his brother are shown as well. The movie lets you see the real Vincent van Gogh in a different way. 1．Loving Vincent is ________.

Cities around the world are racing to become “smart”. It’s just like a classroom full of hard-working students. Take Toronto, Canada, for example. Tech company Google has made public a 1,500-page plan. It is going to remake two neighborhoods with things like snow-melting roads. To build smart cities, we need lots of new technologies, such as robots and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies will lead to safer and more efficient cities. However, they will also raise questions about privacy. But there is a more serious problem: Smart cities will be difficult to manage. As we know all too well from our personal lives, tech products are sometimes unreliable. The internet and our computers break down regularly. Tech products also age quickly. Only a few years into their lives, problems may become more and more common. In smart cities, many basic systems and services, such as water services, are based on such tech products. What if they break down regularly? Can you imagine the result? New technologies in 2024 will be outdated before 2030. If we use smart technologies widely in cities, we will need to be prepared to replace them every few years. But who would want to pay this bill? The most important problem is whether having a smart city will make us better at solving urban problems. Smart technologies can’t solve problems on their own. Suppose AI programs discover a road that needs to be repaired, it still requires people to show up with asphalt (沥青) and a steamroller (蒸汽压路机), doesn’t it? As an engineer, I think smart technologies should have a place in cities. However, that place is not everywhere. For many of our urban problems, we don’t really need the latest technologies. The best of the old ideas work better. 1．The underlined word “students” (Para. 1) refers to “________”. A．cities in Canada B．advanced technologies C．people living in the cities D．cities around the world 2．According to the article, what is Google going to do? A．Invent snow-melting roads. B．Make the company more efficient. C．Remake two neighborhoods in Toronto. D．Plan to rebuild Toronto. 3．According to the article, what do we need to build smart cities? A．The best of old ideas. B．Lots of new technologies. C．Asphalt and steamrollers. D．The internet and computers. 4．According to the author, smart cities will be ________. A．safe and convenient B．easier to manage C．less efficient D．harmful to the environment 5．The example of a road that needs to be repaired is used to show ________. A．tech products break down regularly in smart cities B．it is difficult and expensive to manage a smart city C．smart technologies can’t solve problems on their own D．many new technologies become outdated within five years Have you ever talked to a smartphone or something that helps to find information or complete tasks just like 360 Search or Baidu? Well, the ChatGPT is a kind of thing like that, but it’s even smarter. ChatGPT is a cool computer program that can answer questions and can have conversations with you. It can understand what you are saying and can respond (回应) in a way. It was released (发布) by OpenAI in November 2022. They used a lot of information from books, websites and even movies to teach ChatGPT to talk to people. Now the ChatGPT is ready to talk to you. You can ask it anything you want to know like “What’s the capital of France” or “What’s the biggest animal in the world”. But ChatGPT is more than just a searching machine. It can also have real conversations with you. You can ask it how it’s feeling or tell it a joke. ▲ ChatGPT is not just a fun program to talk to but also a great tool to help you learn new things. Every time you ask the ChatGPT a question, you are expanding your knowledge. Maybe you will discover a new hobby or find an answer to a question that has been bothering you for a while. But most importantly, using ChatGPT can be a lot of fun. It’s also like a knowledgeable teacher who can chat with you and answer all kinds of questions. But ChatGPT isn’t perfect. It cannot take the place of face-to-face communication. Some people even use it to cheat, so we should use it correctly. 1．The writer introduces the topic of ChatGPT by ________. A．listing facts B．giving examples C．asking questions D．showing differences 2．Which of the following is the best for “ ▲ .” A．It is quite a natural speaking machine. B．It can make you laugh when you are sad. C．You can learn something new with ChatGPT. D．It makes a breakthrough in translation. 3．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．ChatGPT was released by Open AI in December 2022. B．ChatGPT is just a searching machine. C．ChatGPT is of great use and can do many things. D．ChatGPT took the place of face-to-face communication. 4．The structure (结构) of this passage is ________. (①=Paragraph 1) A． B． C． D． 5．The best title for the passage should be ________. A．How to Use ChatGPT to Cheat in Studies B．ChatGPT: A Smart Tool for Conversation and Learning C．The History of OpenAI and Its Inventions D．Why Can’t AI Take the Place of Face-to-Face Communication Have you ever felt excited about very cheap and fashionable clothes in shops every few weeks? You can update your wardrobe(更新你的衣橱) without spending too much money. But have you ever stopped to think: Why are these clothes so cheap? The answer lies in something called “fast fashion”. “Fast fashion” refers to how the clothing industry produces a lot of cheap clothes and gets them to stores every few weeks. The low prices let shoppers buy new clothes all the time. However, many of these clothes quickly wear out or go out of style. Their price tags also do not include the environmental costs behind them. “The problem starts with how we think about fashion,” says Kirsi, a fashion researcher. “Nowadays, most people own too many clothes. They wear them for a very short time and then throw them away,” she says. Even if a piece of clothing stays in your wardrobe for years, you might only wear it about 40 times. Besides, “fast fashion” pollutes the environment seriously. A study by Kirsi’s team found that the fashion industry leads to 8 to 10% of global carbon waste (全球碳排放) and 20% of the world’s water pollution from factories. When you buy a new fast-fashion shirt, you are not just paying money to the shop. You are also making pollution worse. You waste energy in transportation and create rubbish when your shirt is worn out and thrown away. The “low cost” of the shirt is actually paid by our Earth. It is really attractive for us to get bargains easily. But just like there is no “free lunch” in the world, the low prices of fast fashion bring a heavy cost to the Earth. We should not only look for the cheapest clothes. Instead, we can think about the real cost of the things we buy — for our money and for our Earth. 1．“Fast fashion” is _________. A．a popular idea of buying many clothes and throwing them away B．a business way of quickly making and selling lots of cheap clothes C．a shopping habit of buying new clothes with very little money D．a kind of clothing that breaks easily and goes out of style 2．Why does the writer mention “you might only wear it about 40 times” in Paragraph 3? A．To teach us how to wear clothes more often. B．To explain clothes can be kept for many years. C．To tell us to clean our wardrobe regularly. D．To show we wear clothes for a very short time. 3．Which of the following is NOT true when you buy a new fast-fashion shirt? A．You make pollution worse. B．Energy is wasted in transportation. C．Rubbish is created by the shop. D．You pay money to the shop. 4．The underlined word “bargains” means “_________”. A．cheap goods B．affordable clothes C．different samples D．formal agreements 5．What does the writer want to tell us? A．To let people care more about the environment. B．To tell people to think carefully before buying clothes. C．To ask experts to work out environmental problems. D．To tell fashion industry to protect our Earth. All these pieces of paper are used as if they were pure gold or silver. Marco Polo (1254-1324) wrote these words about one of the most wonderful inventions he saw in China: paper money. For 13th century Europeans, this was an amazing idea. Later, they began to print their own paper money too. Today, most money in the world is paper money. We also use plastic cards or online payment now, and virtual money is becoming more and more popular. The idea of paper money first started in China. For a long time in Chinese history, people used small coins with holes in the middle as money. People put these coins on a string—100 coins for one bunch (串), and usually 10 bunches on the same string. These coin strings were very heavy to carry. Even 1,000 coins were not worth much, so important business deals needed many strings of coins, even whole rooms of them. To solve this problem, around the late 8th and early 9th centuries (Tang Dynasty), merchants (商人) left their coins with someone and got a paper receipt called “feiqian” (flying money). They could use this paper to do business instead of carrying a lot of heavy coins. In 812, the Tang government began to use paper receipts for big deals. At first, it was not real modern paper money, but it finally led to the first real paper money in the early 11th century. Sometimes paper money was valuable, and sometimes it was almost useless. Once the government even stopped using it, but it was too convenient to give up. In the end, paper money replaced coins for almost all business deals except very small ones. 1．What did Marco Polo think of Chinese paper money when he saw it? A．It was a boring idea. B．It was an amazing idea. C．It was almost useless. D．It was as heavy as coins. 2．What did ancient Chinese people use as money for a long time? A．Paper receipts with holes. B．Gold and silver with holes. C．Small coins with holes in the middle. D．Plastic cards and virtual money. 3．Which is the correct order of the development of money in China? ①People used feiqian for business.    ②The first real paper money appeared. ③People used coin strings as money.    ④The Tang government used paper receipts for big deals. A．③→①→④→② B．③→④→①→② C．①→③→④→② D．①→④→③→② 4．What was the “feiqian” in the Tang Dynasty? A．A kind of modern paper money. B．A string with 100 heavy coins. C．A paper receipt for stored coins. D．A small room to keep coin strings. 5．What can we infer from the passage about paper money? A．It was always very valuable in history. B．It was first used by the Tang government in 812 as real money. C．Europeans printed paper money earlier than Chinese people. D．It took the place of coins for most business deals at last. 6．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．How Marco Polo introduced coins to Europe. B．The history and development of Chinese paper money. C．Why virtual money is more popular than paper money now. D．How ancient Chinese people kept their heavy coin strings. After learning about the life of the master poet who lived about 1,300 years ago in the historical documentary Li Bai, many young Chinese viewers have preferred talking about pursuing (追求) their dreams on social media. In the documentary Du Fu—China’s Greatest Poet, a historian said, “Du’s poems are as important in Chinese literary history as Shakespeare is to people in Britain.” This remark can also be used for Li’s poems. Living in the Tang dynasty during the “Golden Age of Chinese Poetry”, Li used his talent to push poetry to a new height. “If Du Fu is the greatest poet in China, then Li Bai is the most talented poet in the history of Chinese poetry,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature emphasized. Much of Li’s life is reflected in his poems; his romance, heroism, and freedom while travelling around the mountains and rivers of China, and his hard life experiences. He saw the Tang dynasty’s amazing prosperity (繁荣), and dreamed about being an excellent officer to serve the court (朝廷), but experienced challenge after challenge until his death. Li Bai has won great reputation (声誉) among Chinese netizens (网民). The story of the poet’s life has aroused many young Chinese people’s interest. __▲__ For example, “What would we do if our dreams couldn’t be reached, just like Li?” Some netizens wrote that unlike Li, they might change to another dream in order not to give themselves too much pressure or unhappiness, while other netizens said they would choose to “hold on straight to the end”. “In fact, many people who like Li Bai’s poems like the spirit he expressed—the spirit of never giving up and dreaming about doing something good to help society, just like many young people who have the same dream in this era,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature said. 1．Which is one of the common themes of Li Bai’s poems?

A．ab B．ac C．bd D．cd Nowadays, more and more people are choosing to be digital nomads (数字游民). They are workers who can work from anywhere in the world using technology. Instead of sitting in a regular office, they can work while enjoying the view of the ocean or in a cozy (舒适的) cafe. In Hainan province, two cities are becoming popular places for digital nomads. Haikou, the capital city, opened its first digital nomad community in February. It’s called the Dopamine (多巴胺) Digital Nomad Community and it’s in the Longhua Animation Industrial Park. This community has a lot of great things. There are shared office spaces where people can work. There are also livestreaming (直播) studios, training centers for cross-border (跨境) digital business, and shared gyms. A big shared lounge has about 3,200 books from the local library. It’s open all day and night, so people can read whenever they want. There’s also a public art studio for everyone to create and share art, and a free shared conference center for meetings. The community has attracted over 30 companies. They are from different industries like animation (动画), gaming, and online education. The community’s manager, Wang Zixuan, said the place was designed with bright colors to make it feel young and lively. Many digital nomads like it there. Lin Xianquan, who does live-streaming and overseas e-commerce, has lived in the community for over four months. He said the office environment, lifestyle, and industrial support were perfect for his work. Yan Yuxuan, an AI researcher, also likes the place because it’s easy to exchange ideas and get industry resources. The community offers different rooms at prices from 1,000 to 3,000 yuan. This helps people with different budgets. They use online platforms to find more digital nomads from all over China. In the future, they hope to attract more foreign digital nomads with the help of Hainan Free Trade Port policies.

The Floating Gardens of Bangladesh (孟加拉国) In Bangladesh, a country that experiences frequent floods, farmers have found a clever way to grow food even when their land is underwater. They create floating gardens. For centuries, farmers in this South Asian nation have used water hyacinths (水葫芦) to build floating rafts(木筏). They collect the plants, let them dry slightly, and then layer them together to form a platform. On these floating beds, they grow vegetables like spinach, eggplant, and pumpkins. “When the floods come, our land disappears under water,” explained farmer Muhammad Islam, “but our gardens float. We don’t lose our crops.” The floating gardens do more than just provide food. They also create jobs for women in rural (乡村的) communities. Women help build the rafts and harvest the vegetables, earning money for their families. Climate change has made flooding more terrible in Bangladesh. Sea levels are rising, and storms are becoming stronger. For many farmers, floating gardens are no longer just a tradition, they are a necessity. Scientists from around the world have come to study these gardens. They believe the technique could help farmers in other flood-prone (易涝的) countries, such as Vietnam and Myanmar. “This is traditional knowledge that is becoming more valuable every year,” said Dr. Amina Rahman, a researcher from Dhaka University.“The farmers figured out how to live with nature instead of fighting against it.” Today, more than 100,000 families in Bangladesh use floating gardens. The government is helping to spread the technique to other regions. As one farmer put it, “The water used to be our enemy. Now we have learned to make it our friend.” 1．What problem do farmers in Bangladesh face? A．They don’t have enough land for farming. B．The soil is too dry for growing vegetables. C．Their land often floods and goes underwater. D．They don’t have enough workers to farm. 2．How do farmers create floating gardens? A．They build wooden platforms above the water. B．They use water hyacinths to build floating rafts. C．They grow vegetables directly in the river. D．They use rafts to take water out of the fields. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A．the water B．the technique C．the floating garden D．the land 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Floating gardens cost much money. B．Floating gardens suit flood-prone areas. C．Only simple fruits are grown here. D．It is a new modern invention for farming. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Terrible floods in Bangladesh. B．Ways for village women to make money. C．Useful floating gardens in Bangladesh. D．Traditional food in South Asia. ① Have you ever seen a huge wave in the sea? Usually, waves are caused by wind, but sometimes, they come from a terrible natural disaster — tsunamis (海啸). A tsunami is a series of large waves caused by movements under the sea. It can be very dangerous. ② What causes a tsunami? The most common cause is an underwater earthquake. When the sea floor suddenly moves up or down, it displaces a large amount of water. This water moves outward in all directions, forming big waves. Other causes include underwater volcanoes erupting (火山爆发) or huge landslides falling into the ocean. ③ How is it different from normal waves? Normal wind-driven waves only affect the surface of the water. They are short and fast. However, in the deep ocean, a tsunami has a very long wavelength. It looks like a normal wave at first, but it is actually very powerful. Ships in the deep ocean may not feel a tsunami passing by. ④ The danger near the shore (海岸) When a tsunami gets close to the coast, the water becomes shallow. The wave slows down, but its height rises quickly. The water can rise up to 30 meters high. Remember, the first wave is not always the biggest one. Tsunamis can bring a lot of destruction to towns and villages. ⑤ How to stay safe? To reduce the damage, scientists use special machines to detect tsunamis early. If you are near the beach and feel an earthquake or see the seawater recede (退去) suddenly, run to the nearest hill as fast as you can. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．A kind of natural disaster — tsunami. B．Ways to stop earthquakes. C．How to keep away from winds. D．Different kinds of ocean waves. 2．Normal waves are caused by ________. A．landslides B．earthquakes C．volcanoes D．wind 3．Why can’t ships in deep ocean feel a tsunami? A．Because the tsunami is too small. B．Because the tsunami is long and low there. C．Because ships are moving very fast. D．Because the water is very warm. 4．What does the writer advise us to do when we meet a tsunami? A．Stand near the sea and watch. B．Take photos of the waves. C．Run to higher ground quickly. D．Go swimming in the sea. 5．Which diagram best shows the structure of the passage? A．①②-③④-⑤ B．①-②③④-⑤ C．①②③④-⑤ D．①-②③④⑤ Most of the movies show our relationships and our society. What’s more important is that people love to watch highs and lows of the relationships in movies. Friendship has been the favorite subject of movie makers for a long time. Many movies are based on lovely relationships like friendship. Friendship can be between two persons or among more than two persons. Movies based on friendship make us remember that the relationship among friends is delicate (需要小心处理的). These movies also show how important it is to have a true friend in life and to own the relationship. Friendship is described in different ways in movies. These movies show different faces of this lovely relationship including the pleasant and interesting faces. Let us discuss how friendship is described in movies. Friends share common interests: in most of the movies, it is shown that two people become friends easily when they share some common interests. For example, two friends may be in love with the same sports, studying in the same school or living in the same neighborhood. You can see such friendship in movies such as Harry Potter or Lord of Rings. Harry Potter has two friends. All of them are interested in the use of magic. Friends make sacrifices: in most of the movies, friends make sacrifices for each other. A good example is Sholay. In this movie, there were two friends Jay and Veeru who were there for each other till death. Jay sacrificed his life to save his friend. Friends never run away from difficulties: in movies, it is always shown that true friends always stand up for their friends in times of difficulties. Understanding: in movies, friends understand each other without even saying a word. A single smile can brighten up the faces of all the friends. 1．Which of the following may the author accept? A．Most movies are about relationships between friends. B．Most movies describe stories that happen in our life. C．Movies about friendship are popular with young men. D．Movies always show relationships in the same way. 2．It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that ________. A．friendship needs skillful and careful treatment B．people should try their best to make more friends C．movies about friendship talk about just happiness D．most movie makers prefer movies about friendship 3．What does the word “sacrifices” mean in paragraph 4? A．友谊 B．叛变 C．磨练 D．牺牲 4．What happened to Veeru? A．Veeru lost his good friend. B．Veeru died for May. C．Veeru was Jay’s brother. D．Jay and Veeru hated each other. 5．According to the passage, how is friendship described in movies? 1) Friends have something in common. 2) Friends can give up something for each other. 3) Friends never break up (分裂) with each other. 4) Friends help each other when they are in trouble. 5) Friends understand each other. 6) Friends get along well with each other’s family. A．2)4)5)6) B．1)3)4)5) C．1)2)4)5) D．3)4)5)6) 6．What is the best title for this passage? A．Movies about friendship B．Friendship in movies C．Ways of making movies D．Ways of making friends Sarah and Amy are best friends in junior high school. They have a lot in common. However, they also have their differences. Sarah is very organized and always plans everything in advance, while Amy is more laid-back and likes to go with the flow. One day, they decided to plan a weekend trip together. Sarah made a detailed plan. Amy looked at the plan and felt a little uncomfortable. She thought it was too rigid and didn’t leave any room for unexpected fun. When the weekend came, things didn’t go exactly as Sarah had planned. They got lost on the way to one of the places, and Amy suggested they ask for directions. Sarah, however, was sure she could find the way on her own. As a result, they wasted a lot of time. Sarah got really angry, and she started to blame Amy. Amy was surprised that Sarah was being so unreasonable. Later that day, they had an argument. Sarah said Amy never respected her plans, and Amy said Sarah was too controlling. They were both so angry that they didn’t talk to each other for the rest of the trip. When they got back home, they both felt sad. They realized that their friendship was more important than their differences. Sarah realized that she had been too strict about the plan and hadn’t listened to Amy’s opinions. Amy also understood that she should have been more understanding of Sarah’s need for organization. The next day, Sarah called Amy and apologized (道歉). Amy accepted it and said she was also sorry. They were happy again and they decided to plan another trip. This time, they would listen to each other and make decisions together. From this experience, they know that in a friendship, it’s important to respect each other’s differences and work together to solve problems.

Loving Vincent is the first animated film in the world to be made entirely with paintings. Every scene uses oil paint on canvas (画布). Twelve paintings were needed just to show one second of the film. It took more than 100 artists seven years to complete it. The movie has gotten good reviews since it came out on the Chinese mainland on December 8th. Its box office ( 票 房 ) earnings have reached over $20 million (132. 43 million yuan) worldwide. The film tells the story of the final months of famous Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh (1853－1890). The story is told through his paintings and the characters in them. It shows his death as being part of a murder mystery, as Hollywood Reporter said. A young man named Armand Roulin serves as both detective and storyteller. A year after the death of Vincent van Gogh, Armand is instructed by his father, Postman Joseph Roulin, to personally deliver a letter to Vincent’s brother, Theo. Armand isn’t fond of Van Gogh, but to please his father he agrees to give the letter, travelling across Europe to the town where Vincent spent his final months. When he finds that Theo has died of a disease shortly after his brother, he visits several important people in Van Gogh’s life to find out the truth behind his death. He talks with Van Gogh’s friend, a doctor, and the owner of the hotel he lived in. But each person tells a different story. There are many examples of the artist’s work in the movie. It shows over 120 of his paintings, such as The Night Café, Wheatfield with Crows, and The Starry Night. It’s no wonder Empire Magazine called it “one of the most beautiful films of 2017”. The real-life letters that Van Gogh wrote to his brother are shown as well. The movie lets you see the real Vincent van Gogh in a different way. 1．Loving Vincent is ________. A．the world’s first animated film B．a 3D movie full of adventures C．a fully oil-painted feature film D．a movie introducing Vincent’s paintings 2．________frames were painted for the 90-minute movie. A．12 B．120 C．About 20,000 D．About 65,000 3．The story is told from    point of view. A．Vincent’s B．Armand’s C．Theo’s D．Joseph’s 4．Which of the following shows the correct sequence of the events? a.

D．Box office. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了世界上第一部完全由油画制成的动画电影《至爱梵高》，包括其制作特点、票房与口碑，以及电影围绕梵高去世前最后几个月的故事展开，以Armand的视角探寻梵高去世真相，并展示了梵高的多幅作品及他写给弟弟的信件。 1．第一段指出：“Loving Vincent is the first animated film in the world to be made entirely with paintings. Every scene uses oil paint on canvas”，这直接说明它是一部完全由油画制成的动画片。 2．第一段说明：“Twelve paintings were needed just to show one second of the film”，90分钟=5400秒，5400×12=64800，约等于65000，因此需要约65000幅画。 3．第四段指出：“A young man named Armand Roulin serves as both detective and storyteller”，故事由Armand讲述，因此是从Armand的视角展开。 4．首先Vincent van Gogh去世（b），随后Theo在Vincent去世后不久因病去世（c），一年后Armand被要求给Theo送信（a），Armand答应后穿越欧洲（e），到达后发现Theo已去世，进而采访了几位重要人物（d），因此正确顺序是b-c-a-e-d，故选b-c-a-e-d。 5．第二段提到了上映日期（December 8th）和票房（over $20 million），第三、四段讲述了剧情（Plot），全文未提及导演（Director）。 Do We Really Need Smart Cities? Cities around the world are racing to become “smart”. It’s just like a classroom full of hard-working students. Take Toronto, Canada, for example. Tech company Google has made public a 1,500-page plan. It is going to remake two neighborhoods with things like snow-melting roads. To build smart cities, we need lots of new technologies, such as robots and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies will lead to safer and more efficient cities. However, they will also raise questions about privacy. But there is a more serious problem: Smart cities will be difficult to manage. As we know all too well from our personal lives, tech products are sometimes unreliable. The internet and our computers break down regularly. Tech products also age quickly. Only a few years into their lives, problems may become more and more common. In smart cities, many basic systems and services, such as water services, are based on such tech products. What if they break down regularly? Can you imagine the result? New technologies in 2024 will be outdated before 2030. If we use smart technologies widely in cities, we will need to be prepared to replace them every few years. But who would want to pay this bill? The most important problem is whether having a smart city will make us better at solving urban problems. Smart technologies can’t solve problems on their own. Suppose AI programs discover a road that needs to be repaired, it still requires people to show up with asphalt (沥青) and a steamroller (蒸汽压路机), doesn’t it? As an engineer, I think smart technologies should have a place in cities. However, that place is not everywhere. For many of our urban problems, we don’t really need the latest technologies. The best of the old ideas work better. 1．The underlined word “students” (Para. 1) refers to “________”. A．cities in Canada B．advanced technologies C．people living in the cities D．cities around the world 2．According to the article, what is Google going to do? A．Invent snow-melting roads. B．Make the company more efficient. C．Remake two neighborhoods in Toronto. D．Plan to rebuild Toronto. 3．According to the article, what do we need to build smart cities? A．The best of old ideas. B．Lots of new technologies. C．Asphalt and steamrollers. D．The internet and computers. 4．According to the author, smart cities will be ________. A．safe and convenient B．easier to manage C．less efficient D．harmful to the environment 5．The example of a road that needs to be repaired is used to show ________. A．tech products break down regularly in smart cities B．it is difficult and expensive to manage a smart city C．smart technologies can’t solve problems on their own D．many new technologies become outdated within five years 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文围绕“智能城市是否真的必要”展开讨论，阐述建设智能城市需依赖新技术，但也存在管理难题、技术不可靠易过时等问题，且智能技术无法独立解决城市问题，旧理念有时更实用。 1．根据第一段第一、二句“Cities around the world are racing to become ‘smart’. It’s just like a classroom full of hard-working students.”可知，全球城市竞相打造“智能城市”，这就像满是勤奋“学生”的教室，此处“学生”喻指全球的城市。 2．根据第一段第四、五句“Take Toronto, Canada, for example. Tech company Google has made public a 1,500-page plan. It is going to remake two neighborhoods with things like snow-melting roads.”可知，谷歌计划对多伦多的两个街区进行改造。 3．根据第二段第一句“To build smart cities, we need lots of new technologies, such as robots and artificial intelligence (AI).”可知，建设智能城市需要大量新技术。 4．根据第二段第二句“These technologies will lead to safer and more efficient cities.”可知，智能技术能让城市更安全、高效。 5．根据第六段第二句“Smart technologies can't solve problems on their own. Suppose AI programs discover a road that needs to be repaired, it still requires people to show up with asphalt (沥青) and a steamroller (蒸汽压路机), doesn’t it?”可知，以需维修道路为例，是为了说明智能技术无法独立解决问题。 Have you ever talked to a smartphone or something that helps to find information or complete tasks just like 360 Search or Baidu? Well, the ChatGPT is a kind of thing like that, but it’s even smarter. ChatGPT is a cool computer program that can answer questions and can have conversations with you. It can understand what you are saying and can respond (回应) in a way. It was released (发布) by OpenAI in November 2022. They used a lot of information from books, websites and even movies to teach ChatGPT to talk to people. Now the ChatGPT is ready to talk to you. You can ask it anything you want to know like “What’s the capital of France” or “What’s the biggest animal in the world”. But ChatGPT is more than just a searching machine. It can also have real conversations with you. You can ask it how it’s feeling or tell it a joke. ▲ ChatGPT is not just a fun program to talk to but also a great tool to help you learn new things. Every time you ask the ChatGPT a question, you are expanding your knowledge. Maybe you will discover a new hobby or find an answer to a question that has been bothering you for a while. But most importantly, using ChatGPT can be a lot of fun. It’s also like a knowledgeable teacher who can chat with you and answer all kinds of questions. But ChatGPT isn’t perfect. It cannot take the place of face-to-face communication. Some people even use it to cheat, so we should use it correctly. 1．The writer introduces the topic of ChatGPT by ________. A．listing facts B．giving examples C．asking questions D．showing differences 2．Which of the following is the best for “ ▲ .” A．It is quite a natural speaking machine. B．It can make you laugh when you are sad. C．You can learn something new with ChatGPT. D．It makes a breakthrough in translation. 3．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．ChatGPT was released by Open AI in December 2022. B．ChatGPT is just a searching machine. C．ChatGPT is of great use and can do many things. D．ChatGPT took the place of face-to-face communication. 4．The structure (结构) of this passage is ________. (①=Paragraph 1) A． B． C． D． 5．The best title for the passage should be ________. A．How to Use ChatGPT to Cheat in Studies B．ChatGPT: A Smart Tool for Conversation and Learning C．The History of OpenAI and Its Inventions D．Why Can’t AI Take the Place of Face-to-Face Communication 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能程序ChatGPT。文章涵盖了其定义、发布背景、强大的对话与搜索功能、对学习的辅助作用以及存在的局限性，旨在引导读者正确使用这一智能工具。 1．文章首句提到：“Have you ever talked to a smartphone or something that helps to find information…?”。作者通过向读者询问是否使用过智能手机或搜索引擎来引出ChatGPT的话题，这种方式属于通过提问导入。 2．第三段前文提到：“It can also have real conversations with you. You can ask it how it’s feeling or tell it a joke.”。这强调了ChatGPT具备拟人化的社交对话能力。A项“It is quite a natural speaking machine.”承接上文关于聊天和讲笑话的描述，符合语境。 3．根据第四段描述：“ChatGPT is not just a fun program to talk to but also a great tool to help you learn new things.”。这说明其用途广泛，可以回答问题、真实对话、帮助学习新东西，符合C选项“有用且能做很多事”的描述。 4．通读全文可知，第①段为导入段；第②、③、④段分别从定义背景、对话搜索功能、学习益处三个并列的维度详细介绍了ChatGPT；第⑤段总结了其局限性并提出建议。这种“总（引出）—分（并列介绍）—总（总结）”的结构对应B选项。 5．第四段提到：“ChatGPT is not just a fun program to talk to but also a great tool to help you learn new things.”。该句概括了文章涉及的对话与学习两大核心价值，选项B“ChatGPT：一款用于对话和学习的智能工具”最适合作文章的标题。 Have you ever felt excited about very cheap and fashionable clothes in shops every few weeks? You can update your wardrobe(更新你的衣橱) without spending too much money. But have you ever stopped to think: Why are these clothes so cheap? The answer lies in something called “fast fashion”. “Fast fashion” refers to how the clothing industry produces a lot of cheap clothes and gets them to stores every few weeks. The low prices let shoppers buy new clothes all the time. However, many of these clothes quickly wear out or go out of style. Their price tags also do not include the environmental costs behind them. “The problem starts with how we think about fashion,” says Kirsi, a fashion researcher. “Nowadays, most people own too many clothes. They wear them for a very short time and then throw them away,” she says. Even if a piece of clothing stays in your wardrobe for years, you might only wear it about 40 times. Besides, “fast fashion” pollutes the environment seriously. A study by Kirsi’s team found that the fashion industry leads to 8 to 10% of global carbon waste (全球碳排放) and 20% of the world’s water pollution from factories. When you buy a new fast-fashion shirt, you are not just paying money to the shop. You are also making pollution worse. You waste energy in transportation and create rubbish when your shirt is worn out and thrown away. The “low cost” of the shirt is actually paid by our Earth. It is really attractive for us to get bargains easily. But just like there is no “free lunch” in the world, the low prices of fast fashion bring a heavy cost to the Earth. We should not only look for the cheapest clothes. Instead, we can think about the real cost of the things we buy — for our money and for our Earth. 1．“Fast fashion” is _________. A．a popular idea of buying many clothes and throwing them away B．a business way of quickly making and selling lots of cheap clothes C．a shopping habit of buying new clothes with very little money D．a kind of clothing that breaks easily and goes out of style 2．Why does the writer mention “you might only wear it about 40 times” in Paragraph 3? A．To teach us how to wear clothes more often. B．To explain clothes can be kept for many years. C．To tell us to clean our wardrobe regularly. D．To show we wear clothes for a very short time. 3．Which of the following is NOT true when you buy a new fast-fashion shirt? A．You make pollution worse. B．Energy is wasted in transportation. C．Rubbish is created by the shop. D．You pay money to the shop. 4．The underlined word “bargains” means “_________”. A．cheap goods B．affordable clothes C．different samples D．formal agreements 5．What does the writer want to tell us? A．To let people care more about the environment. B．To tell people to think carefully before buying clothes. C．To ask experts to work out environmental problems. D．To tell fashion industry to protect our Earth. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了“快时尚”现象，即服装行业快速生产大量低价衣物，并频繁更新款式，使得消费者能不断购买新衣，揭开快时尚服装行业“价格低廉”的背后造成的环境问题。 1．本题问快时尚的定义，根据文章第二段“‘Fast fashion’ refers to how the clothing industry produces a lot of cheap clothes and gets them to stores every few weeks. The low prices let shoppers buy new clothes all the time.”可知，快时尚是大量生产和销售便宜衣服的行业。 2．根据文章第三段“Nowadays, most people own too many clothes. They wear them for a very short time and then throw them away.”可知，作者举例说一件衣服在衣橱很多年，可能也只会穿40次左右，是为了说明“大多数人有很多衣服，并且只会穿很短的一段时间就扔掉了。” 3．本题为选非题，文章第四段详细说明了快时尚消费行为对环境带来的影响，根据“You are also making pollution worse.”、“You waste energy in transportation...”和“you are not just paying money to the shop...”可知，快时尚行为“加剧了污染”、“运输过程中浪费了能源”、“不只付钱给店铺（即给店铺付了钱）”，文章并没有提及“店铺产生垃圾”。 4．根据文章第五段“the low prices of fast fashion bring a heavy cost to the Earth.”可知，“bargains”是以便宜的价格买到的商品。 5．根据文章最后一段“But just like there is no ‘free lunch’ in the world, the low prices of fast fashion bring a heavy cost to the Earth. We should not only look for the cheapest clothes. Instead, we can think about the real cost of the things we buy — for our money and for our Earth.”可知，作者写文章的目的是通过揭示快时尚的环境代价，引导读者在购买衣物时做出更理性、负责任的选择。 All these pieces of paper are used as if they were pure gold or silver. Marco Polo (1254-1324) wrote these words about one of the most wonderful inventions he saw in China: paper money. For 13th century Europeans, this was an amazing idea. Later, they began to print their own paper money too. Today, most money in the world is paper money. We also use plastic cards or online payment now, and virtual money is becoming more and more popular. The idea of paper money first started in China. For a long time in Chinese history, people used small coins with holes in the middle as money. People put these coins on a string—100 coins for one bunch (串), and usually 10 bunches on the same string. These coin strings were very heavy to carry. Even 1,000 coins were not worth much, so important business deals needed many strings of coins, even whole rooms of them. To solve this problem, around the late 8th and early 9th centuries (Tang Dynasty), merchants (商人) left their coins with someone and got a paper receipt called “feiqian” (flying money). They could use this paper to do business instead of carrying a lot of heavy coins. In 812, the Tang government began to use paper receipts for big deals. At first, it was not real modern paper money, but it finally led to the first real paper money in the early 11th century. Sometimes paper money was valuable, and sometimes it was almost useless. Once the government even stopped using it, but it was too convenient to give up. In the end, paper money replaced coins for almost all business deals except very small ones. 1．What did Marco Polo think of Chinese paper money when he saw it? A．It was a boring idea. B．It was an amazing idea. C．It was almost useless. D．It was as heavy as coins. 2．What did ancient Chinese people use as money for a long time? A．Paper receipts with holes. B．Gold and silver with holes. C．Small coins with holes in the middle. D．Plastic cards and virtual money. 3．Which is the correct order of the development of money in China? ①People used feiqian for business.    ②The first real paper money appeared. ③People used coin strings as money.    ④The Tang government used paper receipts for big deals. A．③→①→④→② B．③→④→①→② C．①→③→④→② D．①→④→③→② 4．What was the “feiqian” in the Tang Dynasty? A．A kind of modern paper money. B．A string with 100 heavy coins. C．A paper receipt for stored coins. D．A small room to keep coin strings. 5．What can we infer from the passage about paper money? A．It was always very valuable in history. B．It was first used by the Tang government in 812 as real money. C．Europeans printed paper money earlier than Chinese people. D．It took the place of coins for most business deals at last. 6．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．How Marco Polo introduced coins to Europe. B．The history and development of Chinese paper money. C．Why virtual money is more popular than paper money now. D．How ancient Chinese people kept their heavy coin strings. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．D 6．B 【导语】本文介绍了中国纸币的起源与发展，从古代的方孔铜钱到唐代的“飞钱”，再到北宋的正式纸币，展现了货币形式的演变过程。 1．根据原文第一段“Marco Polo… wrote these words about one of the most wonderful inventions he saw in China: paper money. For 13th century Europeans, this was an amazing idea.”，可知马可·波罗认为中国的纸币是一个令人惊叹的发明。 2．根据原文第二段“For a long time in Chinese history, people used small coins with holes in the middle as money.”，可知古代中国人长期使用中间带孔的小铜钱作为货币。 3．根据原文，货币发展的正确顺序是：③人们使用铜钱串作为货币 → ①商人使用飞钱进行交易 → ④唐朝政府为大额交易使用纸质收据 → ②第一张真正的纸币出现。 4．根据原文第三段“merchants left their coins with someone and got a paper receipt called ‘feiqian’ (flying money).”，可知唐代的“飞钱”是一种存放铜钱的纸质收据。 5．根据原文最后一句“In the end, paper money replaced coins for almost all business deals except very small ones.”，可知纸币最终在大多数商业交易中取代了铜钱。 6．全文围绕中国纸币的起源、发展与演变展开，因此主旨是介绍中国纸币的历史与发展。 After learning about the life of the master poet who lived about 1,300 years ago in the historical documentary Li Bai, many young Chinese viewers have preferred talking about pursuing (追求) their dreams on social media. In the documentary Du Fu—China’s Greatest Poet, a historian said, “Du’s poems are as important in Chinese literary history as Shakespeare is to people in Britain.” This remark can also be used for Li’s poems. Living in the Tang dynasty during the “Golden Age of Chinese Poetry”, Li used his talent to push poetry to a new height. “If Du Fu is the greatest poet in China, then Li Bai is the most talented poet in the history of Chinese poetry,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature emphasized. Much of Li’s life is reflected in his poems; his romance, heroism, and freedom while travelling around the mountains and rivers of China, and his hard life experiences. He saw the Tang dynasty’s amazing prosperity (繁荣), and dreamed about being an excellent officer to serve the court (朝廷), but experienced challenge after challenge until his death. Li Bai has won great reputation (声誉) among Chinese netizens (网民). The story of the poet’s life has aroused many young Chinese people’s interest. __▲__ For example, “What would we do if our dreams couldn’t be reached, just like Li?” Some netizens wrote that unlike Li, they might change to another dream in order not to give themselves too much pressure or unhappiness, while other netizens said they would choose to “hold on straight to the end”. “In fact, many people who like Li Bai’s poems like the spirit he expressed—the spirit of never giving up and dreaming about doing something good to help society, just like many young people who have the same dream in this era,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature said. 1．Which is one of the common themes of Li Bai’s poems? A．Technology. B．Bravery. C．Political power. D．Wealth. 2．Why is Shakespeare talked about in Paragraph 2? A．To explain the meaning of Shakespeare’s poems in Britain. B．To praise the popularity of Shakespeare’s poems in the world. C．To describe the influence of Li Bai’s poems on English people. D．To show the importance of Li Bai’s poems in Chinese literary history. 3．Which of the following sentences can be put into __▲__ in Paragraph 5? A．Young netizens ask questions. B．Many young people try to realize their dreams. C．Many young people are interested in Chinese history. D．Ancient Chinese poets encourage young people to challenge life. 4．What does the underlined phrase “hold on straight to the end” mean? A．Do something good to help society. B．Stick to their dreams and never give up. C．Experience challenges one after another. D．Change to another dream when facing difficulties. 5．According to the last paragraph, what are the reasons why many people like Li Bai’s poems? a. Because of his ability of writing poems. b. Because of his wishes for working for society. c. Because of his doing well in serving the court. d. Because of his spirit of keeping trying to do something. A．ab B．ac C．bd D．cd 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国古代诗人李白，他的诗歌以及现代年轻人对他的看法。 1．第四段明确指出“Much of Li’s life is reflected in his poems; his romance, heroism, and freedom while travelling around the mountains and rivers of China, and his hard life experiences.”，李白的诗中反映了他游历祖国山河时的浪漫、英雄主义和自由，以及他艰难的生活经历。可推断勇敢是他诗歌常见的主题。 2．第二段明确指出“In the documentary Du Fu—China’s Greatest Poet, a historian said, ‘Du’s poems are as important in Chinese literary history as Shakespeare is to people in Britain.’ This remark can also be used for Li’s poems.”，此处提到莎士比亚是为了说明李白的诗歌在中国文学史上的重要性，就像莎士比亚对英国人一样重要。 3．第五段明确指出“For example, ‘What would we do if our dreams couldn’t be reached, just like Li?’”，可推断此处指网友们提出了很多问题。 4．第五段明确指出“Some netizens wrote that unlike Li, they might change to another dream in order not to give themselves too much pressure or unhappiness, while other netizens said they would choose to ‘hold on straight to the end’.”，有些人为了不给自己太大的压力或不快乐，他们可能会换一个梦想，而其他网民则表示他们会选择坚持到底，因此猜测该短语意为“坚持到底，永不放弃”。 5．第六段明确指出“In fact, many people who like Li Bai’s poems like the spirit he expressed—the spirit of never giving up and dreaming about doing something good to help society, just like many young people who have the same dream in this era”，即人们喜欢李白的诗歌是因为他希望为社会做事以及他坚持不懈的精神，b和d符合。 Nowadays, more and more people are choosing to be digital nomads (数字游民). They are workers who can work from anywhere in the world using technology. Instead of sitting in a regular office, they can work while enjoying the view of the ocean or in a cozy (舒适的) cafe. In Hainan province, two cities are becoming popular places for digital nomads. Haikou, the capital city, opened its first digital nomad community in February. It’s called the Dopamine (多巴胺) Digital Nomad Community and it’s in the Longhua Animation Industrial Park. This community has a lot of great things. There are shared office spaces where people can work. There are also livestreaming (直播) studios, training centers for cross-border (跨境) digital business, and shared gyms. A big shared lounge has about 3,200 books from the local library. It’s open all day and night, so people can read whenever they want. There’s also a public art studio for everyone to create and share art, and a free shared conference center for meetings. The community has attracted over 30 companies. They are from different industries like animation (动画), gaming, and online education. The community’s manager, Wang Zixuan, said the place was designed with bright colors to make it feel young and lively. Many digital nomads like it there. Lin Xianquan, who does live-streaming and overseas e-commerce, has lived in the community for over four months. He said the office environment, lifestyle, and industrial support were perfect for his work. Yan Yuxuan, an AI researcher, also likes the place because it’s easy to exchange ideas and get industry resources. The community offers different rooms at prices from 1,000 to 3,000 yuan. This helps people with different budgets. They use online platforms to find more digital nomads from all over China. In the future, they hope to attract more foreign digital nomads with the help of Hainan Free Trade Port policies. The Dopamine Digital Nomad Community is not only a great place for work but also a place where people can relax and make friends. 1．Which city is popular for digital nomads? A．Haikou. B．Sansha.

They create floating gardens. For centuries, farmers in this South Asian nation have used water hyacinths (水葫芦) to build floating rafts(木筏). They collect the plants, let them dry slightly, and then layer them together to form a platform. On these floating beds, they grow vegetables like spinach, eggplant, and pumpkins. “When the floods come, our land disappears under water,” explained farmer Muhammad Islam, “but our gardens float. We don’t lose our crops.” The floating gardens do more than just provide food. They also create jobs for women in rural (乡村的) communities. Women help build the rafts and harvest the vegetables, earning money for their families. Climate change has made flooding more terrible in Bangladesh. Sea levels are rising, and storms are becoming stronger. For many farmers, floating gardens are no longer just a tradition, they are a necessity. Scientists from around the world have come to study these gardens. They believe the technique could help farmers in other flood-prone (易涝的) countries, such as Vietnam and Myanmar. “This is traditional knowledge that is becoming more valuable every year,” said Dr. Amina Rahman, a researcher from Dhaka University.“The farmers figured out how to live with nature instead of fighting against it.” Today, more than 100,000 families in Bangladesh use floating gardens. The government is helping to spread the technique to other regions. As one farmer put it, “The water used to be our enemy. Now we have learned to make it our friend.” 1．What problem do farmers in Bangladesh face? A．They don’t have enough land for farming. B．The soil is too dry for growing vegetables. C．Their land often floods and goes underwater. D．They don’t have enough workers to farm. 2．How do farmers create floating gardens? A．They build wooden platforms above the water. B．They use water hyacinths to build floating rafts. C．They grow vegetables directly in the river. D．They use rafts to take water out of the fields. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A．the water B．the technique C．the floating garden D．the land 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Floating gardens cost much money. B．Floating gardens suit flood-prone areas. C．Only simple fruits are grown here. D．It is a new modern invention for farming. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Terrible floods in Bangladesh. B．Ways for village women to make money. C．Useful floating gardens in Bangladesh. D．Traditional food in South Asia. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了孟加拉国农民为应对频繁洪水，发明的一种可持续农业模式——漂浮菜园，包括它的制作方法、多重作用，以及对全球易涝地区的借鉴意义。 1．根据文章第一段“In Bangladesh, a country that experiences frequent floods, farmers have found a clever way to grow food even when their land is underwater. They create floating gardens.”可知，孟加拉国农民面临的核心问题是洪水频发导致土地被淹没，无法耕种。 2．根据文章第二段中“For centuries, farmers in this South Asian nation have used water hyacinths (水葫芦) to build floating rafts(木筏). They collect the plants, let them dry slightly, and then layer them together to form a platform.”可知，农民是用水葫芦搭建浮筏来打造漂浮菜园的。 3．根据文章最后一段中“As one farmer put it, ‘The water used to be our enemy. Now we have learned to make it our friend.’”再结合上下文语境，这里的“it”指代的是前文提到的“the water”，体现了农民从对抗洪水到利用洪水的转变。 4．根据文章第六段中“They believe the technique could help farmers in other flood-prone (易涝的) countries, such as Vietnam and Myanmar.”，这说明漂浮菜园这种模式适合洪水多发、易涝的地区，是对全文内容的合理推断。 5．全文围绕孟加拉国的漂浮菜园展开，介绍了它的背景、制作方式、解决的粮食与就业问题，以及推广价值，因此核心主旨是介绍孟加拉国实用的漂浮菜园。 ① Have you ever seen a huge wave in the sea? Usually, waves are caused by wind, but sometimes, they come from a terrible natural disaster — tsunamis (海啸). A tsunami is a series of large waves caused by movements under the sea. It can be very dangerous. ② What causes a tsunami? The most common cause is an underwater earthquake. When the sea floor suddenly moves up or down, it displaces a large amount of water. This water moves outward in all directions, forming big waves. Other causes include underwater volcanoes erupting (火山爆发) or huge landslides falling into the ocean. ③ How is it different from normal waves? Normal wind-driven waves only affect the surface of the water. They are short and fast. However, in the deep ocean, a tsunami has a very long wavelength. It looks like a normal wave at first, but it is actually very powerful. Ships in the deep ocean may not feel a tsunami passing by. ④ The danger near the shore (海岸) When a tsunami gets close to the coast, the water becomes shallow. The wave slows down, but its height rises quickly. The water can rise up to 30 meters high. Remember, the first wave is not always the biggest one. Tsunamis can bring a lot of destruction to towns and villages. ⑤ How to stay safe? To reduce the damage, scientists use special machines to detect tsunamis early. If you are near the beach and feel an earthquake or see the seawater recede (退去) suddenly, run to the nearest hill as fast as you can. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．A kind of natural disaster — tsunami. B．Ways to stop earthquakes. C．How to keep away from winds. D．Different kinds of ocean waves. 2．Normal waves are caused by ________. A．landslides B．earthquakes C．volcanoes D．wind 3．Why can’t ships in deep ocean feel a tsunami? A．Because the tsunami is too small. B．Because the tsunami is long and low there. C．Because ships are moving very fast. D．Because the water is very warm. 4．What does the writer advise us to do when we meet a tsunami? A．Stand near the sea and watch. B．Take photos of the waves. C．Run to higher ground quickly. D．Go swimming in the sea. 5．Which diagram best shows the structure of the passage? A．①②-③④-⑤ B．①-②③④-⑤ C．①②③④-⑤ D．①-②③④⑤ 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了海啸的成因、特点、危害及避险方法，让读者了解这一自然灾害并学会如何安全应对。 1．全文围绕海啸这种自然灾害展开，分别介绍了它的定义、成因、特点、危害和逃生方法，主旨就是介绍海啸这种自然灾害。 2．原文第一段明确提到“Usually, waves are caused by wind”，可知普通海浪的成因是风。 3．原文第三段提到“in the deep ocean, a tsunami has a very long wavelength. It looks like a normal wave at first, but it is actually very powerful. Ships in the deep ocean may not feel a tsunami passing by.”，海啸在深海波长很长、浪高很低，因此深海里的船很难察觉到海啸经过。 4．原文最后一段提到“If you are near the beach and feel an earthquake or see the seawater recede (退去) suddenly, run to the nearest hill as fast as you can.”，如果在海边遇到海啸征兆，要尽快跑到最近的高地。 5．通读全文内容，第一段引出海啸话题，第二三四段分别介绍海啸的成因、与普通海浪的区别、海岸边的危险，第五段介绍如何避险，因此结构是 ①-②③④-⑤。 Most of the movies show our relationships and our society. What’s more important is that people love to watch highs and lows of the relationships in movies. Friendship has been the favorite subject of movie makers for a long time. Many movies are based on lovely relationships like friendship. Friendship can be between two persons or among more than two persons. Movies based on friendship make us remember that the relationship among friends is delicate (需要小心处理的). These movies also show how important it is to have a true friend in life and to own the relationship. Friendship is described in different ways in movies. These movies show different faces of this lovely relationship including the pleasant and interesting faces. Let us discuss how friendship is described in movies. Friends share common interests: in most of the movies, it is shown that two people become friends easily when they share some common interests.

You can see such friendship in movies such as Harry Potter or Lord of Rings. Harry Potter has two friends. All of them are interested in the use of magic. Friends make sacrifices: in most of the movies, friends make sacrifices for each other. A good example is Sholay. In this movie, there were two friends Jay and Veeru who were there for each other till death. Jay sacrificed his life to save his friend. Friends never run away from difficulties: in movies, it is always shown that true friends always stand up for their friends in times of difficulties. Understanding: in movies, friends understand each other without even saying a word. A single smile can brighten up the faces of all the friends. 1．Which of the following may the author accept?

They have a lot in common. However, they also have their differences. Sarah is very organized and always plans everything in advance, while Amy is more laid-back and likes to go with the flow. One day, they decided to plan a weekend trip together. Sarah made a detailed plan. Amy looked at the plan and felt a little uncomfortable. She thought it was too rigid and didn’t leave any room for unexpected fun. When the weekend came, things didn’t go exactly as Sarah had planned. They got lost on the way to one of the places, and Amy suggested they ask for directions. Sarah, however, was sure she could find the way on her own. As a result, they wasted a lot of time. Sarah got really angry, and she started to blame Amy. Amy was surprised that Sarah was being so unreasonable. Later that day, they had an argument. Sarah said Amy never respected her plans, and Amy said Sarah was too controlling. They were both so angry that they didn’t talk to each other for the rest of the trip. When they got back home, they both felt sad. They realized that their friendship was more important than their differences. Sarah realized that she had been too strict about the plan and hadn’t listened to Amy’s opinions. Amy also understood that she should have been more understanding of Sarah’s need for organization. The next day, Sarah called Amy and apologized (道歉). Amy accepted it and said she was also sorry. They were happy again and they decided to plan another trip. This time, they would listen to each other and make decisions together. From this experience, they know that in a friendship, it’s important to respect each other’s differences and work together to solve problems.
