Why not take a detailed online tour at museums that you would not otherwise have time for? The Palace Museum The Palace Museum is known as the Forbidden City. Visitors can browse all the buildings of the Palace Museums. More than 400,000 imperial artifacts have been digitized online, which can definitely help you gain knowledge and immerse yourself in a cultural atmosphere. The websites: https://pano.dpm.org.cn Shanghai Museum Shanghai Museum is a large and famous museum, which collects over 120,000 precious artistic relics from more than 5,000 years ago to the Qing Dynasty. The marvelous bronze, ceramics, paintings and calligraphies offer a visual feast for the eyes, and also provide a good chance for people to learn the profound Chinese history and culture. If you are into ancient Chinese arts and crafts, then the online Shanghai Museum is definitely worth your time. The website: https://www.shanghaimuseum.net Mogao Caves The Mogao Caves, also known as Thousand Buddha Grottoes, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located near Dunhuang in northwest China’s Gansu Province.

B Nothing screamed freedom for me as a kid like green rubber boots. Each winter meant new boots for my little brother and me. Sometimes they were Christmas presents, but more often they were simply necessities for two boys who took their job of getting dirty very seriously and whose feet grew like they stepped in fertilizer each night. Depending on the model, they might have long yellow laces (鞋带) all the way up the front and a strip of yellow rubber around the top. Sometimes we got the common slip-on kind, but I liked the lace-up type better. I loved threading those laces in and out and in and out and then fastened them down tight at the top to lock the legs of my overalls or jeans in place. You couldn’t maintain the wavy effect with the slip-on kind, so you couldn’t look like a British soldier for very long with those. The only drawback to the laces was that over time the plastic tip would wear off and the laces would be worn out. Then threading them through the eyes got to be a chore — especially when some weeds or insects would grab hold of the ends and make a sticky mess. Getting boots at the store was nice, but nothing was better than getting boots in a wrapped-up box. The best ones have a pretty lid (盖子) and open like a treasure chest. Sometimes a big sticker with a picture of the boots greeted us from under the wrapped paper. But every time, raising the lid released a sweet smell of rubbery goodness. I loved the smooth inside of the boot, and moving my toes in it. There was always plenty of space for growing feet. Then came the important walk around the room and up and down the hall, booming along on the hardwood floor. Best of all was the bang of the back door, the clumping down steps, and the heavy, thunderous thunk across the yard to the nearest hole of mud and freedom. 24. What made a boot necessary for me? A. Playing in dirt freely. B. Protecting the feet in winter. C. Stepping in fertilizer every night. D. Showing off as a Christmas present. 25. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The feature of rubber boots. B. My image in lace-up boots. C. The effect of rubber boots. D. My preference for lace-up boots. 26. What does the underlined word “drawback” in paragraph 3 mean? A. strength. B. attraction. C. disadvantage. D. boredom. 27. The rubber boot attracted me except ________. A. the feeling of opening its package box. B. the smell of the rubber. C. the inside surface of the boot. D. the sound of the boot kicking the door. C Last night’s meteor (流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valley’s mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead. “My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.” Astronomers — scientists who study stars and planets — have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it. There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association, “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.” Countless more animals casualties result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer. Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of high pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night. 28. It happened last night that ________. A. the meteors flew past before being noticed B. the city’s lights affected the meteor watching C. the city light show attracted many people D. the meteor watching ended up as a social outing 29. What do the astronomers complain about? A. Light pollution has remained unsolved for years. B. Their observation equipment is in poor repair. C. Meteor showers occur less often than before. D. Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting. 30. Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to ________. A. create an ideal observation condition B. lessen the chance of getting cancer C. ensure citizens a good sleep at night D. enable all creatures to live in harmony 31. What message does the author most want to give us? A. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves. B. Great efforts should be made to save energy. C. Human activities should be environmentally friendly. D. New equipment should be introduced for space study. D Tasked with photographing one of the world’s most precious big cats, you go deep into the jungle of Southeast Asia and set up a camera trap. Back at base camp, you look through the images it captures, identifying monkeys, otters and finally, what you have been searching for: the mysterious clouded leopard. All this, without having to leave the comfort of your own home. A new mobile game, turns one of the largest-ever wildlife camera trap studies into a playable experience. The idea is that by letting players take on the role of a researcher in a real scientific study, the game helps people to better understand wildlife conservation science. The game is based on an ongoing, decade-long camera trap study by professor David Macdonald and his team at the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at the University of Oxford. The hope is that games can provide new ways for people to engage with endangered animals. “If you don’t have any encounter or experience with elements of nature, then what motivation can you have to take a personal interest in it?” says Macdonald. “I think that detail of understanding brings a great investment in wanting to see a good outcome.” It uses real photographs from the study and allow players to identify species within this rapidly worsening environment. “Of course, everyone loves attractive photography but there’s something just incredibly raw and real about capturing these animals’ moments,” says Macdonald. “I would like to think that engagement with this game will lead to a feeling of value, which will affect how they think about nature,” says Macdonald. “So, in that sense, we’d like to be part of a revolution on how people view the role of humanity, alongside the wider environment.” 32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present a finding. B. To lead to the topic. C. To advertise a game. D. To demonstrate photographing in the wild. 33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. The reason for using real photographs in the game. B. The present situation of the natural environment. C. The way of making the photos more appealing. D. The original source of the real photographs. 34. Which of the following is NOT the benefits of the mobile game? A. It popularizes the knowledge about the science of wildlife protection. B. It offers new methods for developing links with endangered species. C. It influences people to reflect on more about man and nature. D. It raises funds for the future research into wildlife. 35. What is Macdonald’s attitude towards the mobile game? A. Doubtful B. Disapproving C. Positive D. Ignorant 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount? 36 The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. 37 Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money. First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time. 38 In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that. 39 Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. 40 Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children. A. They can save it for future use. B. Timing is another consideration. C. As helping at home is a normal part of family life. D. Some children are not good at managing their pocket money. E. Learning how to get money is very important for every child. F. One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money. G. By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上相应番号处将该项涂黑。 In Semester 2 of 2023, I spent just over 6 months on exchange at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

As his 60th birthday was around the corner, I had a special idea: What if I could get the memories people had of him, put each one into an envelope — 60 in total — and have him open them, one by one, on his birthday? So, I wrote an e-mail to family and friends and explained my idea. I sent the e-mail and waited. And then the replies started coming in and I was very, very astonished. There were so many memories, and they were all so lovely. They came from the 50s, 60s, 70s, from every decade between now and the day my dad was born. They came from my mother, my siblings, my grandma, my dad’s friends from high school, his sister, my dad’s first boss, a colleague at his first job, from people who hadn’t seen my dad in 40 years, from people I myself hadn’t even informed. They typed them and handwrote them. They mailed them and e-mailed them. The night before Dad’s birthday, my sister and I stayed up late, putting the mails into envelopes. The next morning, after breakfast and presents and cake, we gave the pile of envelopes to him. “Just one more thing for you,” we said. It took him a long time to open them and read. Each one was a brief ticket to another time, a leap backward over years and decades. There was a lot of laughter and a few tears on his face. I was kind of sad when the project of the memories about my father was over because it was great fun to collect these memories. It gave me a different picture of dad. present impact brief explain celebrate approach eager unique memorize amaze expect distance As my father was 66 60, I had a 67 idea-I would send him a surprise gift.
