Among them are the following four. The Taj Mahal It was built between 1631 and 1648, known as a masterpiece of architecture. It took over 20,000 workers and 1,000 elephants to complete the project. In the early 17th century, an emperor named Shah Jahan ruled India. The emperor loved his wife Mumtaz so much that when she died, he built the Taj Mahal in her memory. The beautiful mausoleum (陵墓) was designed to look like what the emperor hoped would be Mumtaz’s home in the afterlife. The Temple and Mansion of Confucius Located in Qufu, Shandong Province, the temple is a memorial to Confucius, the Chinese great educator. On the grounds, there are more than 900 halls and rooms. But the building that people visit most is the Temple of Confucius. Originally built in 478 BC, the temple has been rebuilt many times. Besides the temple, visitors can enjoy the grounds outside, where there are more than 1,000 stone tablets (碑碣) and over 100, 000 tombs. The Imperial Tombs of the Qing and Ming Dynasties Built by several emperors between 1368 and 1915 in Beijing, Hubei, Hebei and Liaoning, the Imperial Tombs represent Chinese cultural and historical values that have been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. What makes them unique even among amazing buildings such as Angkor Wat (吴哥窟) and the Cologne Cathedral (科隆大教堂) is that they bring together architecture and philosophy. The Terracotta Army In 1974, while some Chinese farmers were digging a well, they accidentally found a tomb, where they found more than 8,000 statues. They were said to be made in the third century BC to guard the tomb of the Chinese Emperor Qinshihuang! More than 700,000 people worked for nearly 40 years to build this tomb! It is recognized as one of the greatest archaeological findings in the world. 1. ________ can be viewed as a labor of love. A. The Temple and Mansion of Confucius B. The Terracotta Army C. The Imperial Tombs of the Qing and Ming Dynasties D. The Taj Mahal 2. In ________, you can find a unique combination of building and thinking. A. The Temple and Mansion of Confucius B. The Terracotta Army. C. The Imperial Tombs of the Qing and Ming Dynasties D. The Taj Mahal 3. What do the four places have in common? A. They are located in China. B. They are World Cultural Heritage Sites. C. They are archaeological wonders. D. They were built in honor of a famous person. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了四个被列入了世界文化遗产名录且对人类历史和文化特别重要的文化遗址。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题The Taj Mahal下的段落中“The emperor loved his wife Mumtaz so much that when she died, he built the Taj Mahal in her memory.(国王十分爱他的妻子Mumtaz，因此当他妻子死去时，他建造了泰姬陵来纪念她。)”可知，泰姬陵可以被看做是爱的付出，故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题The Imperial Tombs of the Qing and Ming Dynasties下的段落中“What makes them unique even among amazing buildings such as Angkor Wat and the Cologne Cathedral is that they bring together architecture and philosophy.(让他们在很多著名的建筑中脱颖而出的是他们将建筑和哲学联系在一起。)”可知，在明清帝国陵墓中可以看到建筑和思考的独特结合，故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Up to now, UNESCO has granted official recognition to over 800 cultural sites that are thought to be of special significance to human history and culture. Among them are the following four. (到目前为止，联合国教科文组织已经将800多个多人类历史和文化特别重要的文化遗址列入了世界文化遗产名录。以下就是其中的四个遗址。)”可知，这四个地方都是世界文化遗址，故选B。 B On a hot summer afternoon along the Mandavi River, Shweta Hule wraps her sari around her ankles and bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla. Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage. Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017. Vengurla is known for its beautiful beaches and seafood, but the climate crisis has made fishing for a living unsustainable, so people are trying to find other sources of income. They came up with the idea of running mangrove safaris (观光游) for tourists in Vengurla’s Mandavi River. The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served. Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival. “It was an instant hit. This boosted the confidence to include these fritters in our restaurant menu,” says Hule. Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river. “The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want?” says Hule. 4. Which of the following can best describe the example of Shweta Hule? A. Do as the Romans do. B. Strike while the iron is hot. C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Bite off more than you can chew. 5. What does Swamini offer to visitors? A. Eco-tours and accommodation. B. Fishing guide service. C. Vegetable growing techniques. D. Hands-on cooking classes. 6. Why were Hule’s fritters well-received? A. They were less expensive. B. They were traditional. C. They had their own features. D. They got strongly promoted. 7. How did Hule feel about tourists’ obtaining her food recipe? A. Lost. B. Proud. C. Worried. D. Curious. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Shweta Hule和几位妇女创办Swamini为游客提供生态旅游和有当地特色的食宿的故事。他们的举动不仅帮助当地人增加了收入，还在一定程度上保护了红树林。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.(弯腰从河里拣起野生的“杂草”，扔进一个碗里。这些植物将被制成炸果饼，供应给在胡勒在印度沿海城镇文古拉经营的民旅馆附属小餐馆)”和第二段“Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage.(野生可食用植物在这里的厨房里很常见。Hule的杂草多汁，这种草生长在红树林中。收割一些这种植物有助于保护红树林，这是一种全球濒危的耐盐树木生态系统，可以阻止海岸侵蚀并吸收风暴破坏)”可知，这些杂草可以被制成食物，而且除掉它们有助于保护红树林，由此推知，Shweta Hule的例子可以说是一举两得。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017.(Hule是Swamini的负责人，这是一个自助组织，由文古拉一个渔业社区的九名妇女成立，她们于2017年创办了Mandavi生态旅游)”和第四段“The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served.(野生动物园为游客提供了一个独特的长达一小时的红树林之旅。食物也成为了一个关键的吸引力：当地的辛辣椰子咖喱，配以本土或野生蔬菜。游客们被鼓励去捕螃蟹，他们捕获的东西被煮熟后端上桌)”以及最后一段第一句“Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river.（斯瓦米尼的旅馆还供应素食，以及从河里捕来的鱼和螃蟹）”可知， Swamini给游客提供生态旅游和食宿。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival.(Hule最近才发现这种杂草是可以食用的，当时她遇到了来自另一个沿海城市的游客。她研究了这些叶子，了解到这种咸味植物富含维生素。她用鹰嘴豆粉做了自己版本的炸果饼，并在野菜节上展出)”可知，Hule的炸果饼受欢迎是因为它们有当地的特色。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的““The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want?” says Hule.(Hule说：“游客们享用我们的饭菜后的满足感才是真正的货币。我们有来自伦敦的客人，他们对我们的食物非常满意，所以他们把食谱记了下来。这些人帮助我们的业务发展。我们还想要什么？”)”推知，Hule对游客想得到他们的食谱感到非常自豪。故选B。 C If you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets, A new trend has taken hold in China-guochao, or “China-chic” According to a report, searches related to guochao on Dianping, a lifestyle information platform, have risen by 170 percent from the same period in 2021,and reviews have risen by nearly 40 percent. China-chic has happened, but what is it? The term characterizes the rise of China’s native fashion trends, It has expanded the concept of “Made in China”, which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics offered by homegrown Chinese brands, according to CGTN. China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018. Before that, big name foreign companies dominated the world market. To win market share, many Chinese brands followed in the footsteps of these Western brands. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad. The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share,” Shen Qinfeng, the company’s marketing manager, told People’s Daily. Now, the guochao trend is “moving to the next stage, where its success will rely, first and foremost, on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western validation”, according to Kerra Zhou, founder of brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma. No matter how the guochao trend evolves, there’s one thing that won’t change: Behind the craze is people’s positive attitude toward the country’s development and their recognition of and growing confidence in national culture, said Yao Linqing, a professor in the School of Economics and Management at Communication University of China. 8. What makes Li-Ning so fashionable? A. Its successful market strategy similar to Western brands. B. Its trendy look similar to Western brands. C. Its elements of traditional Chinese culture. D. Chic and unique clothes styles. 9. Why did the author mention “White Rabbit” in paragraph 5? A. Because White Rabbit reminded the author of his or her childhood. B. Because the author helped White Rabbit promote new products. C. Because White Rabbit was a good example for showing the guochao trend. D. Because this traditional brand was on the decline. 10. What does the secret to the success of the guochao? A. Increasing confidence in Chinese culture. B. Excellent design skills. C. Clothes of great quality. D. Styles catering to people abroad. 11. What is the author’s attitude to the future of the guochao trend? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了国潮的兴起以及背后的成因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture.(但那一年，中国运动品牌李宁改变了局面。在2018年纽约时装周期间，李宁推出了以道教为灵感的武道系列。这个系列不仅有时尚的外观，还包含了中国传统文化的元素)”可知，李宁品牌的流行是因为传统文化的因素。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share,” Shen Qinfeng, the company’s marketing manager, told People’s Daily.(从那时起，追捧国产品牌的趋势迅速蔓延到各个行业和产品，从食品、饮料到服装、手机和电动汽车。例如，大白兔推出了香水和唇膏，其甜美的糖果勾起了许多人的童年回忆。“我们希望大白兔成为一个年轻人愿意分享的品牌，”该公司市场经理沈钦峰在接受《人民日报》采访时表示)”可推知，大白兔品牌是个比较好的例子来理解前文所说的内容——国潮的流行趋势。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Now, the guochao trend is “moving to the next stage, where its success will rely, first and foremost, on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western validation”, according to Kerra Zhou, founder of brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma.(品牌战略咨询公司Kerrisma创始人周凯表示，如今，国潮趋势正在“进入下一个阶段，它的成功首先将取决于获得文化自信，而不是西方的认可”)”可知， 文化自信才是国潮兴起和流行的根本。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“No matter how the guochao trend evolves, there’s one thing that won’t change: Behind the craze is people’s positive attitude toward the country’s development and their recognition of and growing confidence in national culture, said Yao Linqing, a professor in the School of Economics and Management at Communication University of China.(中国传媒大学经济管理学院教授姚林青表示，无论国潮如何发展，有一件事是不会改变的：这股热潮的背后是人们对国家发展的积极态度，以及他们对民族文化的认可和日益增长的信心)”可推知，作者对国潮的未来持肯定态度。故选B。 D Few animals appear more affectionate than the black-browed albatross (信天翁). These large seabirds are socially monogamous (一夫一妻制的) and often mate for life, staying with the same partner with trust. But “divorce” is not unheard of. As is the case with other monogamous animals, a female albatross will leave a partnership that lacks breeding (繁殖) success. Although “divorce” is natural among these birds, Ventura recently began noticing that its rates seemed to vary from year to year for the roughly 15,500 pairs of black-browed albatrosses breeding on New Island. “There were clearly years in which more pairs split up, compared with the previous years,” says Ventura, whose team combed through about 15 years of breeding data. To investigate, the group focused on two environmental variables (变数) vital to the albatross: wind speed and sea-surface temperature. Each affects the birds in different ways. Higher winds make it easier for them to soar for greater distances to gather food. Increasing sea-surface temperatures, on the other hand, limit the nutrients available to the albatross by curbing the production of phytoplankton (浮游植物), which has huge effects on the rest of the marine food web. As a result, albatrosses must travel farther and struggle more to find enough food. This throws breeding schedules into disarray and increases stress levels among partnerships — both factors that can decrease breeding success. And digging deeper, the team found that in warmer years female albatrosses were more likely to leave their mate even after successful breeding attempts. “Previous successful females are the ones that are most affected by this.” Ventura says. Ventura assumes that similar patterns may appear in other seabird populations and possibly among some monogamous mammals, highlighting a potentially overlooked consequence of climate change. “If you have a situation where increasing sea-surface temperature is leading to higher divorce rates, which reduces breeding success for the populations as a whole,” she says. “Ultimately you’re sending fewer albatrosses out into the world, and that’s going to impact the population more widely.” 12. What can we know about the albatross? A. They maintain a steady annual divorce rate. B. Their relationship is dominated by the female. C. They generally have strong loyalty to their mate. D. Their breeding has decreased due to fading affection. 13. What was the team’s analysis based on? A. Previous researches. B. Food varieties. C. Environmental effects. D. Sex differences. 14. What does the underlined word “disarray” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Disagreement. B. Chaos. C. Adaptation. D. Routine. 15. What does Ventura imply in the last paragraph? A. Species of different seabirds are in danger of extinction. B. Climate change influences more species other than albatrosses. C. Breeding success guarantees a stable partnership of albatrosses. D. Other seabirds and mammals affect the population of albatrosses 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，信天翁是一夫一妻制的物种，但近年“离婚”率日益增高，Ventura的团队通过调查发现，风速和海洋表面温度对此有重大影响，这是气候变化的一个潜在后果，不仅影响信天翁，也可能影响其他海鸟或一夫一妻制的哺乳动物。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“These large seabirds are socially monogamous (一夫一妻制的) and often mate for life, staying with the same partner with trust.(这些大型海鸟在社会上是一夫一妻制的，通常会终生交配，与信任的伴侣生活在一起)”可知，信天翁通常对伴侣很忠诚。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To investigate, the group focused on two environmental variables (变数) vital to the albatross: wind speed and sea-surface temperature.(为了进行调查，研究小组关注了对信天翁至关重要的两个环境变量：风速和海面温度)”可知，研究团队的分析是基于环境的影响。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词所在句主语This指代前一句“As a result, albatrosses must travel farther and struggle more to find enough food.(因此，信天翁必须长途跋涉，付出更多努力才能找到足够的食物)”，结合划线词后文“increases stress levels among partnerships — both factors that can decrease breeding success. (增加伴侣之间的压力水平——两个因素都会降低繁殖成功率)”可知，信天翁长途跋涉，付出更多努力寻找食物，会打乱繁殖计划，因而降低繁殖成功率，disarray意为“混乱”，与chaos同义。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ventura assumes that similar patterns may appear in other seabird populations and possibly among some monogamous mammals, highlighting a potentially overlooked consequence of climate change.( Ventura认为，类似的模式可能出现在其他海鸟种群中，也可能出现在一些一夫一妻制的哺乳动物中，这突出了气候变化的一个潜在的被忽视的后果)”可知，除了信天翁，气候变化还会影响更多物种。故选B项。 第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Conscious (有意识的) living is not just a trend. ____16____ It is about being intentional with everything you do — your words, actions, beliefs, habits, and choices. Accepting conscious living takes some effort, but it is worthwhile. Here are some ways you can achieve this goal. ●Be conscious about your time. Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again. ____17____ If you waste your precious hours doing negative things, you will regret it later. The first step for living consciously is to be wise about your time. Be selective about things you spend it on, and allocate (分配) it for positive activities. ●____18____ You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving. ●Learn to be grateful. Gratitude takes you a long way towards conscious living. It opens you up to a happier and a fulfilled mindset. Most people are unhappy because they see only the negatives in life. However, everyone has something to be grateful for. Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. ____19____ ●Believe in yourself. It is the key to making the right choices, yet not regretting the wrong ones. ____20____ Spending time alone and thinking deeply are effective measures that enable you to identify the inner voice. Care for it and follow it to make it stronger down the line. Conscious living is a skill you need to learn as you go, so be willing to make the effort and master it. You will absorb it soon and be a happier person in the long run. A. Know yourself better. B. Accept the person you are. C. Life can be a lot better with the right decisions. D. It is a healthy choice that enables you to be happy. E. Pick it as a daily habit, and you will notice the difference. F. The way you spend your time determines the course of your life. G. The best way to build self-belief is by reflecting on your own thoughts. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何学会有意识地生活。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Conscious (有意识的) living is not just a trend.(有意识的生活不仅仅是一种时尚)”中“not just”可知，有意识的生活不仅仅是一种时尚，因此下文会更一进定义有意识的生活，D“It is a healthy choice that enables you to be happy.(它是一种健康的选择，能让你快乐)”提出有意识的生活还能带来快乐，与上文构成递进关系，句中代词it指代上文中“Conscious (有意识的) living”。故选D项。 【17题详解】 上文“Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again.(时间是最宝贵的东西，因为没有办法让一个瞬间重来)”分析了时间宝贵的原因，F项“The way you spend your time determines the course of your life.(你如何利用时间，决定了你的人生轨迹)”承接上文，说明利用时间对人生的重意义，照应本段主题“Be conscious about your time.(要意识到你的时间)”，上下文语意连贯一致。故选F项。 【18题详解】 设空处是本段标题，根据下文“You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving.(除非你了解自己的需求和意图，否则你无法实现这些目标。这说起来容易做起来难，因为大多数人都没有努力去了解自己。花点时间思考并了解自己的优点和缺点。一旦你更了解自己，你就可以制定一个计划，让自己变得更有耐心、诚实和宽容)”可知，本段主要讲要去了解自己，所以A项“Know yourself better.(更好地了解自己)”是最佳标题。故选A项。 【19题详解】 上文“Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. (写感恩日记是一个计算你所拥有的幸福的良好开端)”提出用写日记的方式来学会感恩，E项“Pick it as a daily habit, and you will notice the difference.(把它作为一种日常习惯，你会发现其中的不同)”承接上文，建议让写感恩日记变成一种习惯，上下文语意连贯；句中it指代上文中“Writing a gratitude journal”。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据小标题“Believe in yourself.(相信自己)”可知，本段主要讲相信自己，即建立自信，G项“The best way to build self-belief is by reflecting on your own thoughts.(建立自信的最好方法是反思自己的想法)”提出方法，上下语意连贯。故选G项。 第二部分 语言运用 (共三节，满分45分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Juliette and I knew each other seven years ago through the foreign exchange organised by our schools.

He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.” “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).” The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us?

Among them are the following four. The Taj Mahal It was built between 1631 and 1648, known as a masterpiece of architecture. It took over 20,000 workers and 1,000 elephants to complete the project. In the early 17th century, an emperor named Shah Jahan ruled India. The emperor loved his wife Mumtaz so much that when she died, he built the Taj Mahal in her memory. The beautiful mausoleum (陵墓) was designed to look like what the emperor hoped would be Mumtaz’s home in the afterlife. The Temple and Mansion of Confucius Located in Qufu, Shandong Province, the temple is a memorial to Confucius, the Chinese great educator. On the grounds, there are more than 900 halls and rooms. But the building that people visit most is the Temple of Confucius. Originally built in 478 BC, the temple has been rebuilt many times. Besides the temple, visitors can enjoy the grounds outside, where there are more than 1,000 stone tablets (碑碣) and over 100, 000 tombs. The Imperial Tombs of the Qing and Ming Dynasties Built by several emperors between 1368 and 1915 in Beijing, Hubei, Hebei and Liaoning, the Imperial Tombs represent Chinese cultural and historical values that have been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. What makes them unique even among amazing buildings such as Angkor Wat (吴哥窟) and the Cologne Cathedral (科隆大教堂) is that they bring together architecture and philosophy. The Terracotta Army In 1974, while some Chinese farmers were digging a well, they accidentally found a tomb, where they found more than 8,000 statues. They were said to be made in the third century BC to guard the tomb of the Chinese Emperor Qinshihuang! More than 700,000 people worked for nearly 40 years to build this tomb! It is recognized as one of the greatest archaeological findings in the world. 1. ________ can be viewed as a labor of love. A. The Temple and Mansion of Confucius B. The Terracotta Army C. The Imperial Tombs of the Qing and Ming Dynasties D. The Taj Mahal 2. In ________, you can find a unique combination of building and thinking. A. The Temple and Mansion of Confucius B. The Terracotta Army. C. The Imperial Tombs of the Qing and Ming Dynasties D. The Taj Mahal 3. What do the four places have in common? A. They are located in China. B.

B On a hot summer afternoon along the Mandavi River, Shweta Hule wraps her sari around her ankles and bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla. Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage. Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017. Vengurla is known for its beautiful beaches and seafood, but the climate crisis has made fishing for a living unsustainable, so people are trying to find other sources of income. They came up with the idea of running mangrove safaris (观光游) for tourists in Vengurla’s Mandavi River. The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served. Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival. “It was an instant hit. This boosted the confidence to include these fritters in our restaurant menu,” says Hule. Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river. “The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want?” says Hule. 4. Which of the following can best describe the example of Shweta Hule? A. Do as the Romans do. B. Strike while the iron is hot. C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Bite off more than you can chew. 5. What does Swamini offer to visitors? A. Eco-tours and accommodation. B. Fishing guide service. C. Vegetable growing techniques. D. Hands-on cooking classes. 6. Why were Hule’s fritters well-received? A. They were less expensive. B. They were traditional. C. They had their own features. D. They got strongly promoted. 7. How did Hule feel about tourists’ obtaining her food recipe? A. Lost. B. Proud. C. Worried. D. Curious. C If you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets, A new trend has taken hold in China-guochao, or “China-chic” According to a report, searches related to guochao on Dianping, a lifestyle information platform, have risen by 170 percent from the same period in 2021,and reviews have risen by nearly 40 percent. China-chic has happened, but what is it? The term characterizes the rise of China’s native fashion trends, It has expanded the concept of “Made in China”, which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics offered by homegrown Chinese brands, according to CGTN. China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018. Before that, big name foreign companies dominated the world market. To win market share, many Chinese brands followed in the footsteps of these Western brands. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad. The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share,” Shen Qinfeng, the company’s marketing manager, told People’s Daily. Now, the guochao trend is “moving to the next stage, where its success will rely, first and foremost, on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western validation”, according to Kerra Zhou, founder of brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma. No matter how the guochao trend evolves, there’s one thing that won’t change: Behind the craze is people’s positive attitude toward the country’s development and their recognition of and growing confidence in national culture, said Yao Linqing, a professor in the School of Economics and Management at Communication University of China. 8. What makes Li-Ning so fashionable? A. Its successful market strategy similar to Western brands. B. Its trendy look similar to Western brands. C. Its elements of traditional Chinese culture. D. Chic and unique clothes styles. 9. Why did the author mention “White Rabbit” in paragraph 5? A. Because White Rabbit reminded the author of his or her childhood. B. Because the author helped White Rabbit promote new products. C. Because White Rabbit was a good example for showing the guochao trend. D. Because this traditional brand was on the decline. 10. What does the secret to the success of the guochao? A. Increasing confidence in Chinese culture. B. Excellent design skills. C. Clothes of great quality. D. Styles catering to people abroad. 11. What is the author’s attitude to the future of the guochao trend? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious. D Few animals appear more affectionate than the black-browed albatross (信天翁). These large seabirds are socially monogamous (一夫一妻制的) and often mate for life, staying with the same partner with trust. But “divorce” is not unheard of. As is the case with other monogamous animals, a female albatross will leave a partnership that lacks breeding (繁殖) success. Although “divorce” is natural among these birds, Ventura recently began noticing that its rates seemed to vary from year to year for the roughly 15,500 pairs of black-browed albatrosses breeding on New Island. “There were clearly years in which more pairs split up, compared with the previous years,” says Ventura, whose team combed through about 15 years of breeding data. To investigate, the group focused on two environmental variables (变数) vital to the albatross: wind speed and sea-surface temperature. Each affects the birds in different ways. Higher winds make it easier for them to soar for greater distances to gather food. Increasing sea-surface temperatures, on the other hand, limit the nutrients available to the albatross by curbing the production of phytoplankton (浮游植物), which has huge effects on the rest of the marine food web. As a result, albatrosses must travel farther and struggle more to find enough food. This throws breeding schedules into disarray and increases stress levels among partnerships — both factors that can decrease breeding success. And digging deeper, the team found that in warmer years female albatrosses were more likely to leave their mate even after successful breeding attempts. “Previous successful females are the ones that are most affected by this.” Ventura says. Ventura assumes that similar patterns may appear in other seabird populations and possibly among some monogamous mammals, highlighting a potentially overlooked consequence of climate change. “If you have a situation where increasing sea-surface temperature is leading to higher divorce rates, which reduces breeding success for the populations as a whole,” she says. “Ultimately you’re sending fewer albatrosses out into the world, and that’s going to impact the population more widely.” 12. What can we know about the albatross? A. They maintain a steady annual divorce rate. B. Their relationship is dominated by the female. C. They generally have strong loyalty to their mate. D. Their breeding has decreased due to fading affection. 13. What was the team’s analysis based on? A. Previous researches. B. Food varieties. C. Environmental effects. D. Sex differences. 14. What does the underlined word “disarray” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Disagreement. B. Chaos. C. Adaptation. D. Routine. 15. What does Ventura imply in the last paragraph? A. Species of different seabirds are in danger of extinction. B. Climate change influences more species other than albatrosses. C. Breeding success guarantees a stable partnership of albatrosses. D. Other seabirds and mammals affect the population of albatrosses 第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Conscious (有意识的) living is not just a trend. ____16____ It is about being intentional with everything you do — your words, actions, beliefs, habits, and choices. Accepting conscious living takes some effort, but it is worthwhile. Here are some ways you can achieve this goal. ●Be conscious about your time. Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again. ____17____ If you waste your precious hours doing negative things, you will regret it later. The first step for living consciously is to be wise about your time. Be selective about things you spend it on, and allocate (分配) it for positive activities. ●____18____ You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving. ●Learn to be grateful. Gratitude takes you a long way towards conscious living. It opens you up to a happier and a fulfilled mindset. Most people are unhappy because they see only the negatives in life. However, everyone has something to be grateful for.
