Yinka, Where Is Your Husband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn Available January 18, 2023 Arriving to widespread praise, Lizzie Damilola Blackburn’s first published novel is incredibly relatable to anybody whose family members frequently question their relationship status. In Yinka, Where Is Your Husband? a thirty-something Nigerian woman attempts to find herself a wedding date and learns some valuable lessons about life and love. The Perfect Escape by Leah Konen Available January 4, 2023 Love Leah Konen’s All the Broken People? Prepare yourself for her newest thriller (惊悚小说), The Perfect Escape, about a group of friends whose girls’ weekend goes wrong when they land themselves in deep trouble in the Catskills and one of them goes missing. Violeta by Isabel Allende Available January 25, 2023 Isabel Allende’s wide collection of work continues with Violeta — the story of a woman named Violeta Del Valle who gives readers a front-row seat to historic moments of the 20th century, from the Spanish flu to the Great Depression to the women’s rights movement, as she decribes the highs and lows of her 100-year life in a series of letters to her grandson. Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner Available January 25, 2023 Talk about suspense! Katherine Faulkner’s Greenwich Park, written from three perspectives, centers on a pregnant woman who meets another mom-to-be who couldn’t be more different from her. As their friendship develops, they realize they may be more connected than they think. 1. What can we learn about Lizzie Damilola Blackburn? A. She has never written a thriller before. B. She is skilled at creating a romantic story. C. She is widely acknowledged by the public. D. She attempts to find herself a wedding date. 2. What is the best choice for fans of scary stories? A. Greenwich Park. B. The Perfect Escape. C. Violeta. D. Yinka, Where Is Your Husband? 3. What does Violeta have in common with Greenwich Park? A. They went on sale on the same day. B. They were written in the form of letters. C. They are both stories based on marriage. D. They describe some well-known historic events. B Dr. Emily Carter carefully spread a mixture made from Angelica sinensis (当归) on the injured leg of a racehorse named Thunder. “This is not just treatment; it puts old knowledge into practice,” she said. At first, her coworkers at the Kentucky Horse Hospital doubted her methods. However, Carter’s use of Chinese herbal treatments for horse injuries has shown remarkable results. Her interest in traditional medicine began in 2015 during a study program in Beijing. There, she saw Chinese veterinarians (兽医) using herbs like Huangqi (黄芪) to help farm animals recover faster. Inspired, Carter decided to combine Western medical tools with these ancient methods. A study she published in a veterinary journal showed that her patients recovered 30% faster than those treated only with standard methods. Despite her success, some experts argue that more long-term research is needed. They argue that herbs have varying effects on different animals and that clearer guidelines for their use are essential. In response to these concerns, Carter is now working with universities to develop safe and reliable herbal standards. She is confident that this partnership will not only enhance the effectiveness and safety of herbal treatments but also help traditional Chinese medicine gain wider acceptance in the global medical community. In the quiet corner of her clinic, where the scent of dried herbs mixes with the calm breaths of recovering horses, Carter’s work tells a story of its own — a story which reflects a growing trend: mixing Eastern and Western practices in animal care. Her hands, steady and sure, move from tending to a horse’s wound to explaining the delicate balance of nature’s treatments to its owner. “Respecting nature’s wisdom benefits both animals and humans,” she often says, her voice carrying the weight of belief. 4. How did Dr. Carter treat the horse’s injured leg? A. She tried traditional herbs. B. She conducted a surgery on it. C. She applied a new X-ray machine. D. She left the horse to recover by itself. 5. What initially motivated Dr. Carter to use Chinese herbal treatment? A. Peer recommendations. B. Her experience in Beijing. C. A racehorse’s severe injury. D. Laboratory research findings. 6. What is Dr. Carter doing with universities? A. Selling herbal products. B. Studying wild plant species. C. Training more veterinarians. D. Creating recognized herbal rules. 7. What does the last paragraph imply? A. The challenges in western medicine. B. The integration in medical practices. C. The limitations of herbal treatments. D. The importance of modern technology. C When I think of the word perfect, I think of something few can achieve, like high beauty standards, Helen, the super-smart girl in my class, or anything I can compare myself to. For weeks, I have been noticing this girl who is in a few of my middle school classes. She has fabulous long dark hair, big eyes, and the most beautiful face. She always wears the prettiest outfits and seems to be the most popular girl in school, at least in my eyes. It seems like she has a perfect life. One day, I was in language arts talking to my teacher about one of the upcoming tests, when I saw the girl staring at me. I immediately felt nervous, thinking, “Why is she looking at me? Did I do something wrong? Is my hair messed up?” When the class was dismissed and everyone rushed to their next class, Helen caught up to me and said, “I just thought you should know, I think you are really pretty.” I replied doubtfully, “Oh my god, thank you!” I then watched her as she walked away and thought, “She thinks I am pretty?” The whole day, I thought about one thing: Why does she think that? After thinking about that topic in my head through each second of the day, I came to learn one big lesson. I learned that everyone has their own insecurities even though it may not seem like it on the outside. In this case, I was thinking that she was everything I wanted to be and she thought the same of me. Neither of us are perfect. We are just us and that’s OK. We are all that perfect person we have been comparing ourselves to in our own special way. It is our choice to either accept that and love ourselves or keep torturing (折磨) ourselves with cruel comparisons. When I really look at myself, not from my point of view but a fresh one, I do see everything I want to be. I see a beautiful, smart, kind girl who is unique. I think that being able to fully love yourself is the true meaning of the word perfect. 8. What does the underlined word “fabulous” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Messy. B. Ugly. C. Wonderful. D. Ordinary. 9. Why did Helen talk to the author after class? A. She wanted to challenge her. B. She found her hair messed up. C. She thought the author was beautiful. D. She wanted to make friends with her. 10. How did the author feel when praised by Helen? A. Doubtful. B. Sorrowful. C. Satisfied. D. Excited. 11. What lesson did the author learn at last? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Everyone is perfect in any aspects. C. Beauty means perfect sometimes. D. Full love for yourself just means perfect. D Taylor Swift’s voice has changed in more ways than one. According to a new study, her accent has changed as she moved from state to state and switched music styles, showing how adaptable our speech can be. Researchers from the University of Minnesota studied hundreds of interviews Swift gave between 2008 and 2019. They focused on three important times in her life: her country music years in Nashville, a transition period, and her pop star years in New York City. The study found clear proof that her accent adapted to where she was living. While in Nashville, Swift began speaking with hints of a Southern accent. For example, she pronounced words like “ride” in a way that sounded more like “rod”. This is a common feature in Southern dialects. When she moved away from Tennessee, this way of speaking faded. Another change was the pitch (音高) of her speaking voice. During her time in New York, her voice became significantly deeper. The researchers suggest this might have been a conscious choice to sound more confident and authoritative, as she began speaking out strongly on social issues. However, they also note that voices can naturally get a little lower as people age from their teens into their thirties. This study shows that our accents are more flexible than we might think. They can change based on our community, career, and even the image we want to project. For a global superstar like Taylor Swift, her voice is a tool that has evolved with her career. Fans have even guessed that this is why she waited to re - record her first album — she’d have to bring back a country accent that wasn’t her natural way of speaking. The research highlights that how we talk is often a reflection of where we are in life, both physically and socially. 12. How was the study carried out? A. By surveying her fans worldwide. B. By personally interviewing her. C. By analyzing the lines in her songs. D. By examining her public interviews. 13. What was found about Swift’s speech in Nashville? A. Her voice pitch became higher. B. She spoke much faster than before. C. It showed Southern accent features. D. It was different from Southern dialects. 14. Which of the following factors is mentioned for the change of accents? A. Physical health. B. Public image. C. Private habits. D. Personal wealth. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Taylor Swift is a special case in accent change. B. Singers change accents more easily than others. C. Moving frequently is the main cause for accent change. D. Accents can change based on social and professional needs. 第二节（共5小题；每题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。 How often have you said, “I should exercise, ” but done nothing?

She was bright and full of energy, always eager to learn new things. But there was one thing that made Emma different from her classmates: she was fearful of failure. No matter what she tried, she was always scared that she wouldn’t be good enough. This fear held her back, stopping her from taking risks or stepping outside of her comfort zone. One sunny afternoon, the school announced that there would be a talent show. Emma’s friends were excited about the opportunity to show their skills, but Emma’s stomach turned at the thought. She loved music and could play the piano beautifully, but the idea of performing in front of a crowd made her heart race. “I can’t do it,” she whispered to herself. “What if I mess up? What if they laugh at me?” But her best friend, Lily, who knew Emma’s love for music, encouraged her to sign up. “You’re really good, Emma. I know you can do it. You should show everyone what you can do.” When she got home, her mother encouraged her, “It’s okay to make mistakes. What matters is that you try your best.” Despite the fear hanging inside her, Emma unwillingly agreed. She chose a simple piece she had been practicing for weeks and began to prepare for the performance. As the days went by, her nerves grew stronger. She spent hours in her room, practicing tirelessly, but the fear of failure was always there, hiding in the back of her mind. Finally, the night of the talent show arrived. The auditorium (礼堂) was filled with excited parents, teachers, and students, all eager to see the performances. Emma stood backstage, her hands shaking and her heart pounding in her chest. She could hear the applause for the other performers, and with each clap, her anxiety grew. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was her turn. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When she finished, there was a long moment of silence. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 37. 假如你是红星中学的一名高二学生，你校将于下周六举办“中国传统美食节”，请给外教Eric写一封电子邮件，邀请他参加，内容包括： 1.活动目的 2.活动内容（美食制作，品尝，知识竞赛） _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（共10小题；每题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is ____38____ traditional Chinese holiday ____39____ (celebrate) on the 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar calendar.

The room was silent, all eyes on her. For a moment, Emma’s mind went blank. She almost stood up and ran, but then she remembered what her mom had said to her. With a shaky hand, Emma played the first note. The music began to flow, and slowly, the fear melted away. She forgot about the audience, forgot about the mistakes she was worried about, and lost herself in the music. She played with all her heart, each note building her confidence. When she finished, there was a long moment of silence. And then the audience erupted into applause. A wave of pride washed over her, and she couldn’t believe it — she had done it! Despite all her fears, she had performed in front of an audience and had succeeded. That night, Emma learned something important: failure wasn’t the worst thing that could happen. The real failure would have been letting her fear stop her from trying. From that day forward, she wasn’t afraid to take chances, whether it was in school, in music, or in life. She knew that mistakes were just part of the journey, and with every step she took, she was growing stronger. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 【37题答案】 【答案】Dear Eric, In order to promote Chinese traditional food, a Chinese Gourmet Festival is scheduled to be held next Saturday in our school.
