B Travelling seemed false to me.I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting (a baby elephant in Thailand "transformed"them.Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat.I needed something deeper than an Eat,Play,Love moment One day,Vasilis,my Greek best friend,reminded me of our decade-old promise:after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens.Maybe,it was time to make good on that promise. I finally boarded the plane.Vasilis picked me up at the airport.I smiled,thinking how impossible this moment seemed all those years ago. The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it.Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders.However,none of them truly mattered.What would forever change my idea of travel was a chance to encounter with a local. Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention-a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street.Curiously,we followed the sound to a humble workshop Inside,a welder (gave no mind to our presence behind him.He wore no flashy protective suit-this was just another day for him,another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature.Under the sunshade,his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth... As the man continued welding,I felt a bit of envy.I envied his peace and satisfaction.I admired the simplicity he had.I imagined the welder happy,finding fulfillment in his craft (and returning to his 第4页共11页 loving family...The moment moved me to tears.Leaving the workshop,rain blending with tears,I realized how easily life's poetry could pass unnoticed. Home again in Montreal,I stop simply pursuing better things,better experiences and better people that are never grasped.I realize the real journey is inward-to appreciate life's ordinary magic.That sure beats petting any baby elephant.I may not have returned home"transformed,"but I'll always think of the welder and his cat. 24.Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy? A.Shortage of adequate funds. B.Discomfort in dietary habits. C.Overstatement of travel's effects.D.Danger of petting baby animals. 25.What drove the author to go to Athens? A.Meeting a commitment.

Unlike most other countries,the South Korean government celebrates this transformation into adulthood with an official "Coming-of-Age Day",which falls on every third Monday of May.Its first written record of celebrating adulthood dates back to the Goryeo Dynasty,where King Gwangjong gifted Prince Wang Juan outfit (reserved for male adults in 965. By the late Joseon Dynasty,the ceremony marking adulthood developed into a full-grown event for the middle and upper classes,celebrated by their 15-year-olds.In this period,one of the most symbolic changes that adults-to-be went through was that boys would tie their long flowing hair into a topknot ( 第5页共11页 and cover it with at all black hat made of horsehair;likewise,girls put their hair,which they let fall as single braids(辫子)in youth,up into a knot and set it with a long hairpin(发簪). Today,the traditional coming-of-age ceremonies still live on,supported largely by goverment and public interests.But a set of very different customs has also been added.Unless they apply to participate in publicly-held ceremonies or attend schools that provide these series,19-year-olds celebrate the third Monday of May the modemn way,by having a nice meal with family or drinking with their friends. 28.What led to the legal age of adulthood being lowered by a year in South Korea? A.The realization of youth's earlier maturity. B.The plan to reduce economic pressure on families. C.The determination to satisfy teenagers'expectations. D.The requirement for youth's earlier practice of voting rights 29.Who received South Korea's first recorded coming-of-age celebration according to the text? A.Prince Wang Juan in the Goryeo Dynasty. B.King Gwangjong in the Goryeo Dynasty. C.An upper-class 15-year-old in the Joseon Dynasty. D.A middle-class 15-year-old in the Joseon Dynasty. 30.What marked the important change in celebrating adulthood during the Joseon Dynasty? A.A new type of hairstyle B.A specific birthday outfit. C.Making one's own hat with horsehair.D.Replacing short hairpins with long ones. 31.What does the last paragraph suggest? A.Publicly-held ceremonies require group application. B.Traditional ceremonies should be more widely practiced. C.Teenagers nowadays prefer to celebrate adulthood at home. D.Society has seen a wider range of adulthood celebrations. D The ocean is home to more than 200,000 known species and as many as 2 million that we have yet to discover.And,it is also home to 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics.In 2022,researchers spotlighted how bad marine microplastic pollution is getting:The total amount of microplastics on the bottom of oceans has greatly increased in the past two decades. Microplastic particles don't just end up at the bottom of the ocean.Animals are eating them-at least 1,500 species have been reported to ingest plastic.And a lot of it.For example,whales in New Zealand's Hauraki Gulf consume roughly three million microplastics daily,according to research published in Science 第6页共11页 of the Total Environment,which analyzed whale waste to see how much microplastics were present. "Other research has shown that if plastics are small enough,they can cross the gut()wall and get into internal organs though the long-term effects are still unclear.Plastics can also release chemicals that are harmful to digestive system,"says Kahane-Rapport."This is concerning,and while we do not yet understand the long-term health-effects,it is likely not a good sign for whales and their prey()to eat a man-made material like plastic." This is obviously bad for whales,but it also has effects on humans and the ocean at large.We are also part of these food chains and are consuming microplastics regularly.They are in our bottled water,in our table salt-they are even in our house dust and in the air we breathe.And we still don't know what the health effects are.Meanwhile,the impact on whales-and what it indicates-is troubling on many fronts. "Whales are ecosystem engineers,"says Kahane-Rapport."They can spread the nutrients that they consumed and serve as ecosystem guards-when whales are not healthy,other parts of the system will suffer..” Kahane-Rapport says more research is needed."The next research step will be to determine how much plastic the whales excrete()and how much is left in their bodies.Following that,we would be able to determine the direct health effects on their tissues." 32.What does the underlined word"ingest"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Deal with.B.Bring up C.Take in. D.Spread out. 33.What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A.Researches show contradictory results. B.Digestive system is the most affected part. C.Small plastics are more harmful than big ones. D.Much about microplastics'harm remains unclear. 34.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The various sources of pollution. B.Tab chain reaction of microplastics. C.Possible solutions to plastic pollution D.Growing awareness of ocean protection 35.What will the following research focus on? A.Microplastic pollution to the ocean bottom B.The sufferings of other ocean creatures. C.Whales'contributions to the ecosystem. 第7页共11页 D.The amount of plastic in whales bodies. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 In order to grow and be better than before,you must learn to be emotionally intelligent.Here are some strategies to help you become emotionally mature! You cannot change others.Everyone else is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions.It is completely normal.Keeping that in mind,it is better if you understand that you cannot change others,no matter how hard you try.Even if you ty changing others and their feelings,you will only be hurting yourself in the process. 36 People interact with us like we are mind readers sometimes.37 This can be extremely painful. You need to communicate your needs to the other person,and they need to do the same with you.Never rely on expectations,which will only make you feel disappointed.Share your needs with your loved ones and see the positive changes.So communicate your needs. It is necessary to take responsibility for your actions.Just like your words,you need to take full responsibility for your actions.Many people make silly excuses and don't take responsibility for their actions.That is where they hurt others and themselves.38 It won't bring your self-respect down, and it will actually raise you as a person. 39 So it is wise to avoid negative people.If you are surrounded by negative people that only bring others down,then you will always feel uncomfortable.If you are surrounded by happy people,you will always be delighted.Keep away from people who emotionally control others.40 In order to be emotionally intelligent,you must have a supporting partner by your side. A.You need to mind whatever you do. B.You are known by the company you keep. C.Just as you try to be a mind reader,others expect so. D.The best course of action would be to change yourself.
