The custom of wearing flowers in the hair is deeply(30) in Chinese culture.It appears in classical art, including Tang Dynasty paintings in which women adorn themselves with flowers.What is striking in Quanzhou, however,is that this love of flowers did not remain inside paintings,or belong only to the wealthy.In Xunpu,a fishing village near Quanzhou,it (31) among ordinary women whose lives were shaped by the sea.There,flowers were not a distant(32) ofelegance.They became part of daily life. From past to present,the women of Xunpu have always (33) flowers with the hope for happiness and good fortune.Elders placed floral headdresses on young girls before they went out,as if beauty itself might invite joyful things into life.Flowers appeared at festivals, weddings,and other important moments.The headdress,then,was never simply something to wear.It gave visible form to an invisible wish:that life,however (34) might still open toward joy. That wish becomes more moving when we remember what kind of lives these women lived. Xunpu women were known for their hard work.They fished,farmed oysters,gathered seafood on the tidal flats,managed the home,and supported the family.Against such a background,the flower headdress seems almost(35) Yet perhaps that is exactly why it matters.They did not choose flowers because life was easy.They chose flowers because life was hard.Beauty,in this context,was not a(an)(36)_ from reality,but a gesture of endurance.The flowers did not deny hardship;they answered it. Today,this old custom is entering a new phase of life.Visitors come not only to admire the headdresses,but to wear them and experience,celebrate and embrace the culture for themselves. The flower headdresses of Quanzhou are not only ornaments,but signs of memory,resilience,and identity.(37) as they seem,what they carry is remarkably strong IL.Reading Comprehension(45) Section A Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B. C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Going against the Cashless Wave Do we still need cash?The prevalence of new electronic devices is set to revolutionize how we make payments.With a click of a mobile-phone app,our entire wealth is literally at our fingertips.Invisible networks manage the flow of transactions,permanently 38 the payment landscape.39,some think that we should become fully cash-free.However,I don't believe we should move towards a completely cash-free society. The primary concem is the risk of fraud and the 40 that follows.The instant satisfaction that accompanies cashless transactions could be weakened by online 41 issues.Technology experts argue that our current state of technology finds it difficult to discourage hostile individuals or groups from 42 the system illegally and abusing the personal data.Many online shopping sites lack strong deterrence (systems that would 第3页共9页 protect their clients'privacy.Occasionally,when an account is locked due to an illegal activity detected by security systems,having cash in hand becomes 43 Another reason we should not move towards becoming completely cashless is that mankind might potentiallybecome lesshi().Numerous studies have suggested that giving out cash for purchases imposes a psychological 44 on consumers so that they are more cautious in their spending.As it is,the cashless wave has already eased that discomfort of making purchases with 45 notes.Thus,it will be logical to assume that digital payment could make us much 46 in purchase. Advocates of a cashless society argue that cash-free transactions will potentially reduce 47in society by making financial transactions more transparent and reducing corruption. However,despite this 48,we cannot choose to ignore that a large proportion of poor people depend on cash to buy everyday goods that are priced at49amounts.It does not make economic sense to host these minute transactions on a network. 50 _,financial institutions may put a cap on free transactions and charge the users for the services nonetheless. When viewed in totality,being cashless may not be as advantageous to the51 as it is made out to be. The idea of going completely cashless is a very real,even an exciting,one.However,to safeguard the interests of all users,it is better to 52 our enthusiasm-perhaps to be a less-cash society is a more feasible and sensible option. 38.A.upsetting B.altering C.abandoning D.preserving 39.A.Besides B.However C.Therefore D.Still 40.A.indifference B.inconvenience C.intolerance D.incompetence 41.

() Last October I was on a diving holiday in the Philippines with seven other advanced divers.I dived off the boat slowly sinking to about 20m. After nearly 45 minutes,the sound of my breathing was drowned out by a low rumble like an engine and I felt deep powerful vibrations()as if a big boat with a propeller was passing overhead.The dive instructor's eyes were wide with confusion too.We both swam next to each other staying close to the side of the reef().The situation felt sinister. Then we were enveloped by clouds of white sand that mushroomed up around us.Could it be a giant turtle racing past us?They are normally slow movers so this was very weird behavior. The vibration became so intense that I could feel it in my bones and then the sound turned into a deafening roar.Suddenly,a few meters below us,breaks began forming and the sand was sucked down.That's when I got what it was.The noise was the sound of the earth splintering open and grinding against itself. The instructor and I held hands and looked into each other's eyes.I felt comforted by his presence.I was numb for terror but clear-headed.My body went on high alert,ready to react. 第4页共9页 But I have no power over whatever this is.The only option is to stay very still and let it do whatever its going to do. It took enormous willpower to resist the urge to swim to the surface,which is not sensible as situation on the surface at that time was ambiguous with potential threats pending.Soon we saw other divers The sound and vibration lasted only two or three minutes and when they stopped I heard the swoosh of sand falling over the seabed.We all held hands before resurfacing to avoid decompression sickness,which can be fatal.When up,it was a huge relief to sec all the divers and we all shared incredulous looks before pulling out our breathing tools and shouting,"What was that?” Back on the boat,we rushed to check the news and discovered we had witnessed a huge earthquake,measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale.It released more energy than 30 Hiroshima bombs, though it seemed that we were not at the epicenter ()I was high and felt lucky surprisingly not because of my recent survival miracle,but to have experienced nature at its most stunning and its most frightening. 53.How did the author realize that they met with an earthquake? A.By feeling the violent shake under the sea. B.By witnessing a normally-slow turtle quickly moving by. C.By seeing the seafloor crack. D.By checking the news and be informed of the event. 54.Why didn't the author rise to the surface before the vibration stopped? A.Because the instructor gestured him not to rise. B.Because he was numb in body. C.Because he could sense the unclear water situation. D.Because he tried to avoid unexpected danger above. 55.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.At the beginning of the event,a big boat passed by causing big vibration. B.All the divers used the reef as the protection against the violent vibration. C.I felt relieved as the instructor was experienced in handling situations like this. D.Powerless to fight nature,I was tame when under the water. 56.Why did the author feel fortunate on the boat? A.Because he was not at the epicenter of the earthquake. B.Because he finally survived a huge earthquake. C.Because he could witness a rare natural phenomenon. D.Because he didn't suffer from decompression sickness. (B) Knowledge Project by bl Behavior Under Risk:How Animals Avoid Becoming Dinner By:Renee L.Rosier Tracy Langkilde Nature Education Most animals face the risk of being eaten.To avoid becoming someone's dinner,an organism must be able to identify predatory threats and employ effective strategies to avoid detection by predators.In the event that avoidance fails,animals can use strategies that will increase their chances of surviving attack if they do encounter predators. Detecting predators a.Visual-Many animals respond to general visual cues,such as the presence ofa new object or sudden movement.Other visual cues,including an animal's size and behavior,can provide specific information about the identity and intention of a potential predator.For example,prey may be able to visually identify a predator based on its shape,size,and color,and can use the predator's behavior to determine the immediate threat that it poses. b.Auditory-Auditory cues can provide reliable,direct information about a predator's 第5页共9页 presence,identity.These cues are especially helpful for nocturnal prey species or animals that avoid predators that frequently use sound to hunt or communicate.For example,toadfish recognize sound of dolphins when they are looking for food,one of their main predators,and reduce their activity levels in response. c.Chemical-Chemical cues can be present in the air,in water,or on the ground,and can be detected by prey through olfaction and gustation,providing a reliable indication of a predator's presence even if it is visually undetectable.Some species are even able to determine how old a predator scent is,and will avoid only fresh scent cues as they indicate a predator's recent presence. Animals can also use changes in the concentration or age of a scent to determine which direction a predator was traveling,in order to better avoid it. d.Vibration-Vibration cues can provide useful information about a predator's presence,and can be difficult for predators to conceal.Many animals,including some spiders,caterpillars,and tadpoles,use vibrations as indicators of predator presence,and can distinguish vibrations made by predators,non-predators,and abiotic cues(such as rainfall).It is important for prey to be able to distinguish cues from threats versus non-threats,as responding to every tactile stimulus would waste time and energy,and may actually attract the attention of predators. 57.Which of the following cue can best be used to detect the direction of predators at night? A.Visual B.Auditory C.Chemical D.Vibration 58.According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT true? A.Visual cues can be used as an indication of predators'intention. B.Chemical cues fail to function if the predators are out of sight. C.Auditory cues help prey to figure out what kind of predators they meet. D.Vibration cues are reliable as predators can hardly stop vibrating. 59.Which of the following topic might be talked about in the following paragraphs? A.Surviving Encounters with Predators B.Effective Ways to Find out Predators C.Distinct Characteristics of Predators D.Prey species and their behaviors (C) Though the spread of good reproduction of works of art can be culturally valuable,museums continue to promote the special status of original work and highlight the authenticity()of its exhibits.Unfortunately,this seems to place severe limitations on the kind of experience offered to visitors. One limitation is related to the way the museum presents its exhibits.Art museums are often called "treasure houses".We are reminded of this even before we view a collection by the presence of security guards who keep us away from the exhibits.In addition,a major collection like that of London's National Gallery is housed in numerous rooms,where a single piece of work is likely to be worth more than all the average visitor possesses.In a society that judges the personal status of the individual so much by their material worth,it is therefore difficult not to be impressed by one's own relative"worthlessness"in such an environment. Furthermore,consideration of the"value"of the original work in its treasure house setting impresses upon the viewer that since these works were originally produced,they have been assigned a huge value in terms of money by some person or institution more powerful than themselves.Evidently,nothing the viewer thinks about the work is going to alter that value,and so today's viewer is discouraged from trying to extend that spontaneous,immediate,self-reliant kind of interpretation which would originally have met the work. The visitor may then be struck by the strangeness of seeing such a variety of paintings, drawings and sculptures brought together in an environment for which they were not originally created.This"displacement effect"is further heightened by the huge volume of exhibits.In the case of a major collection,there are probably more works on display than we could realistically view in weeks or even months. This is particularly distressing because time seems to be a vital factor in the appreciation of all art forms.A fundamental difference between paintings and other art forms is that there is no prescribed time over which a painting is viewed.Operas,novels and poems are read ina prescribed time sequence,whereas a picture has no clear place at which to start viewing,or at which to finish.Thus,art works themselves encourage us to view them superficially,without 第6页共9页 appreciating the richness of detail and labor that is involved. Consequently,the dominant critical approach becomes that of the art historian,a specialized academic approach devoted to"discovering the meaning"of art within the cultural context of its time.This is in harmony with the museum's function,since the approach is dedicated to seeking out and conserving"authentic","original"readings of the exhibits. 60.The writer mentions London's National Gallery to illustrate A.the undesirable cost to a nation of maintaining a huge collection of art B.the conflict that may arise in society between financial and artistic values C.the negative effect a museum can have on visitors'opinion of themselves D.the need to put individual well-being above large-scale artistic schemes 61.The writer says that today viewers may be unwilling to criticize a work because they A.lack the knowledge needed B.fear it may have financial implications C.have no real concept of the work's valuc D.feel their personal reaction is of no significance 62.The writer says that unlike other forms of art,the appreciation of a painting does NOT A.involve direct contact with an audience B.require a specific location for performance C.need the involvement of other professionals D.call for a specific beginning or ending 63.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A.Original work:killer of artistic appreciation B.Original work:reduction to value of art works C.Original work:substitute for reproduction D.Original work:art historians'bread and butter Section C Directions:Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.Many dog owners use a mix of methods,and dog training is not regulated. B.But that doesn't mean he or she wants every stranger to run up and give a hug. C.To be seen as neighborly,people routinely put their dogs into stressful social situations. D.Ask before greeting,instead of assuming that all dogs want to or will be comfortable interacting with strangers. E.The differences in behavior often come down to an individual dog's temperament as well as socialization and training received as a puppy. F.To set up our dogs to succeed,we need to not put them in uncomfortable situations,whether out in the world or at home with guests and family. What we can learn from European dog culture In Europe,dogs tend to be welcome in most public spaces and they are calm,relaxed and quiet there.In the United States,however,pet dogs aren't welcome in most public spaces,and often struggle in the public places where they are allowed.Dogs are dogs no matter where they are born. 64】 But dog behavior isn't all about the dogs.A lot of it has to do with us.As big as the differences might be between the behavior of American dogs and European dogs,there are even bigger differences in how Americans relate to dogs we encounter in public.Our behavior has a lot to do with why our dogs might have more behavioral challenges,and the good news is there's something we can do about it. Give your dog some space.One small thing that we can do and that will have a big impact on our dogs is to admire them from a distance instead of getting in their face.Your dog might like you and your family,might even like your friends.65 Set proper boundaries.When people think about boundaries and dog training,they generally assume we're talking about the dog.But most of the time,the main problem is people.66 Zazie Todd,a professional dog trainer,said that"people tend to assume that dogs are sociable and 第7页共9页 friendly,and don't necessarily consider if a dog wants affection from them at a particular moment in time.” Embrace positive training methods.The way we teach our dogs has a substantial impact on their quality of life and adaptability to new situations.Dog training takes time,and dogs leam best when we use positive reward-based training methods that gently help and encourage dogs by rewarding good behavior. No matter where we live,we can all be a little more thoughtful about how we engage with the dogs we encounter.67 If you have a dog,you can help it out by being its advocate and reminding people you encounter your dog isn't a walking stuffed animal.

A Safe Haven on the Roof of the World Home to iconic species,including snow leopards, Tibetan foxes,black-necked cranes,Chinese mountain cats, and Himalayan vultures,the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Wildlife Park,covering 900 hectares,is the sole and highest-altitude comprehensive wildlife park on the elevated plain. The park in Xining city,Qinghai Province,(68) (rescue)over 1,600 wild animals of more than 40 species over the years.Nearly half,after being nursed back to health and health evaluation,have been released into wild while (69) unable to survive in the wild due to illness or age have found a new home in the park. This ethical approach distinguishes the park from other traditional zoos,which prioritize(70) (keep)animals for display.Investing heavily in creating naturalistic habitats (71) (intend)to mimic the animals'native environment as closely as possible,the park ensures that even captive residents experience psychological well-being.The animals that stay even have their names and devoted fans.Consider the celebrated snow leopard "Ling Xiaozhe." When it was found(72) (die)in the wild,its rescue story went viral online.Millions of viewers watched its daily recovery updates,and it quickly became a beloved star with a loyal fan base following its every move on social media.(73) being mere entertainment,such animals become ambassadors for their wild counterparts,raising public awareness about the fragile plateau ecosystem. However,what makes this work remarkable is the environment.At altitudes approaching 4,500 meters,the air is thin,winters are brutal,and resources are scarce.(74) every rescue operation demands extreme physical endurance,the team perseveres,driven by a philosophy clearly stated by veteran rescuer Qi Xinzhang:"The motivation (75) (reintroduce)rescued animals into their ancestral ranges keeps us going despite the harsh conditions..” In an era of rapid climate change and habitat loss,the park offers a modest but powerful model(76) _technology,compassion,and respect for wildness work together.Also,the snow leopard's story serves as a reminder(77) conservation is not about control but about coexistence.
