A new review argues that intensive, high-yield farming restricted to smaller areas (land sparing) better conserves global biodiversity than wildlife-friendly farming. However, scientists warn that intensification creates pollution spillovers and causes wildlife decline. To restore nature effectively, experts advocate shifting towards sustainable diets with less meat and less food waste. IV. IV. Translation 52.

The female college student returned home to raise sheep in order to realize a wish that she could both live with her parents and help villagers increase their income. V. Guided Writing 56. Dear Society Board, I am writing to propose that we promote the community night market, a project that can simultaneously invigorate local business and enrich the social life of young residents. The primary reason for my recommendation is that the night market possesses an irreplaceable capacity to bring people together. In an era when digital interaction increasingly dominates, a vibrant market offers young people a tangible space where they can converse, taste local food and appreciate handmade crafts. Not only does it stimulate consumption, but it also fosters a sense of belonging. As for the promotion plan, I suggest a two-stage campaign. Initially, we could invite several influential local food bloggers to experience the market and share short videos online. Subsequently, a weekend-themed event featuring live music and interactive games could be organized to attract wider participation. I am convinced that, with careful planning, the night market will become a beloved community landmark.

Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Billionaires Race to Space In late July 2021, Jeff Bezos achieved an out-of-this-world ambition. The billionaire founder of Amazon 1          (fly) to the edge of space - 62 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth's surface - on a rocket designed by his company Blue Origin. "Best day ever," Bezos said over the radio to mission control after landing safely back on Earth, 2          others weren't so impressed. They called the mission an enormous waste of money. Bezos, they argued, 3          be spending his billions to improve things on Earth. Bezos wasn't the first billionaire to set his sights on space. Nor was he the first 4          (criticize) about wasting enormous personal wealth. A week 5          the Amazon founder made history, business owner Richard Branson did, too. Branson became the first person to fly to space on a rocket he helped fund, 6          (develop) by his company Virgin Galactic. Critics say that the money 7          (go) toward commercial space travel would be better spent on 8          they see as more important pursuits. These include working to cure diseases, reducing poverty, and helping to solve the climate crisis. Besides, launching spacecraft is harmful to the planet, critics declare. 9          naturalist Holly Haworth pointed out in Sierra magazine, "Traveling in rockets is arguably the most carbon-emitting thing an individual can do." But supporters of commercial space travel argue that it does benefit humanity. Personal funds 10          (put) toward high-paying jobs and a new industry. That's money they could have spent on new limousines or villas for themselves, supporters say. Plus, their companies are investing in new technologies that increase access to space and drive innovation in other areas as well.

Now new research suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events based on 11          details. The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth; they wore headsets and walked in place, 12          virtual neighbourhoods while completing tasks. The other half, in the control group, used electronic tablets to play games that didn't 13          finding positions or recalling details. After 15 sessions, the latter performed roughly the same as before on a long-term memory test based on picking out objects they had seen about an hour earlier. But the Labyrinth players' scores rose, and they were less frequently tricked by objects that 14          the ones they had viewed. Those 15          "brought them back up to the level of another group of younger adults who did the same memory tests," says Peter Wais, the researcher who designed the VR game. The game likely stimulates the hippocampus - a brain area important for long-term memory. "What Wais's team is trying to do is uniquely suited to VR," says Meredith Thompson, who studies learning through VR games but was not involved in the new study. "VR can provide greater 16          than other games," she says, adding that after this proof-of-concept study, "it would be great to actually 17          people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory." Wais's team is now investigating how long the 18          effects last and which elements of the training have the most impact. It remains unclear how test performance in a laboratory setting might 19          to real-world situations. The outcome needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it's treated as a strong 20         . II. Reading Comprehension 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. Health Care Workers Getting Panic Buttons Hundreds of health care workers at Cox Medical Center in Missouri will soon be equipped with personal panic buttons, following over a year of increased violence against staff members. The pandemic (流行病), the medical center said, has greatly 21         the rise of the number of attacks and the very device comes at the right time to the rescue. A medical worker, once experiencing an attack, can press the button attached to his working ID card to activate a personal 22         system and warn the security department-an instant pop-up 23         will appear on hospital computers, showing the worker's exact location. The panic buttons are being 24         among scores of staff members working in "high-risk areas" of Cox Medical Center. The hospital promises, if there are positive results, to 25         the program to hundreds of employees. And the system is expected to be 26         at the end of the year. Those buttons are 27         backed by the Skaggs Foundation, a charity in Missouri, which has offered the hospital a big grant. "This project helps maintain our No.1 resource-our health care workers, the number of whom has 28         so much," Nita Jane Ayres, Chairman of the foundation, said. Alan Butler, Cox Health's system director, agreed the buttons were a(n) 29         tool in the battle to keep the staff safe. The entire number of attacks on staff by patients has risen from 40 in 2019 to 123 in 2020, and total injuries rocketed from 17 to 78. 30         , even those numbers scarcely paint the full picture. Angie Smith, the medical center's patient safety facilitator, said that many workplace violence events went 31         because "staff don't feel like they will be supported or don't feel like they will be able to do anything about it." "The 32         parts of being in health care now are not only being able to give excellent care to your patients", she said, "but also feeling 33         yourself as their caregiver." 34         , workplace violence in medical centers deserved our attention even before the pandemic. A survey of thousands of emergency physicians found that nearly half of the participants had undergone attacks while working, and roughly ninety-seven percent of those were 35         by patients. 21.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. （A） For 38-year-old Justin Herald, the journey to wealth began one Sunday morning at a church in Sydney's northwest, when he was involved in a quarrel with a member of the church choir. "You have an attitude problem," she told him. The accusation sparked something in him, and he borrowed $50 from his brother to have four T-shirts printed with the slogan: "I don't have an attitude problem; you have a perception problem." "It was the best $50 I ever spent," laughs Herald. By the end of the morning, he had sold three of the four T-shirts. With the money he made, he had another six printed, then 12, then 24. "That first year the earnings were $98,000," he says. His business, Attitude Inc., is now a multi-million-dollar company with a wide range of products selling in 3,500 stores across Australia. His business was due to not just clever marketing-the public loved the slogan-but also he has to admit that in those days there was very little competition in his sector of the clothing industry, and he was in the right place at the right time. The media spotlight also helped, with people paying attention to Herald's likeable personality and infectious passion for his business: the night of one TV appearance, 187 stores rang to get his products into their stores. Herald sold the business three years ago, by which time it was turning over $30 million a year, and now spends his time as a motivational speaker. His message: anyone can be financially successful if they set their mind to it. "You have to have a lot of stickability, because not everything is going to work the way you plan it." Still living in Castle Hill with his wife and two children, Herald believes too many successful people become caught up in the trappings of wealth. "I have lived here since I left school at 16," he says. "In this area, you don't forget where you came from." 36. Why does Herald think it was the best $50 he ever spent? A. Because that sum of money covered the cost of four T-shirts. B. Because that sum of money showed his accusation was wrong. C. Because he received that sum of money when he was in need. D. Because he gained more than expected from that sum of money. 37. According to Herald, the success of his business resulted from __________. A. good timing and cooperation B. business sense and luck C. fierce competition and passion D. family background and motivation 38. The underlined word "stickability" (paragraph 6) is closest in meaning to "__________". A. competence B. conscience C. persistence D. fortune 39. The best title for the passage might be __________. A. Attitude Pays Off B. No Bravery, No Gains C. Start a Business D.

Guest Services B. About Us C. Things to Do D. Plan Your Visit （C） Is that "empathy" (移情) or "sympathy" you're showing? While the two words are often incorrectly used interchangeably, the difference in their emotional impact is important. Empathy, literally "walk a mile in others' shoes", goes beyond sympathy, a simple expression of concern for another person's misfortune. Empathy requires the ability to recognize the suffering of another person from their point of view and to openly share their emotions, including painful distress. Since it requires shared experiences, people can generally feel empathy only for other people, not for animals. While people may be able to sympathize with a horse, for example, they cannot truly empathize with it. Sympathy is a feeling and expression of concern for someone, often accompanied by a wish for them to be happier or better off. "Oh dear, I hope the new plan can really work." In general, sympathy implies a deeper, more personal level of concern than pity, a simple expression of sorrow. However, unlike empathy, sympathy does not imply that one's feelings for another are based on shared experiences or emotions. Psychologists say that empathy is essential in forming relationships and acting toward others. Since it involves experiencing another person's point of view - stepping outside one's self - empathy enables genuinely helping behaviors that come easily and naturally, rather than having to be forced. Empathetic people work effectively in groups, make more lasting friendships, and are more likely to step in when they see others being mistreated. It is believed that people begin to show empathy in infancy and develop the quality through childhood and adolescence. Despite their level of concern for others, however, most people tend to feel deeper empathy for people similar to themselves compared to people outside their family, community, race, or cultural background. However, taken to extremes, deep or extended feelings of empathy can actually be harmful to one's emotional health. Empathy can make people angry - perhaps dangerously so - if they mistakenly perceive that another person is threatening a person they care for. For years, psychologists have reported cases of overly empathetic patients endangering the well-being of themselves and their families by giving away their life savings to random needy individuals. Such overly empathetic people who feel they are somehow responsible for the distress of others have developed an empathy-based guilt. 43. What does the phrase "walk a mile in others' shoes" in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Put oneself in others' situation. B. Walk a long distance in others' shoes. C. Accompany others in the long jogging. D. Walk with others to share their experiences. 44. How do you understand the level of concern according to Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3? A. Pity = sympathy. B. Sympathy = empathy. C. Pity < sympathy. D. Sympathy > empathy. 45. Which of the following statements about empathy is true? A. Empathy is a feeling that exists between human beings and animals. B. Empathy is essential to form relationship, so the deeper, the better. C. Empathy is to just express sadness to other without shared experiences. D. People are more likely to show empathy to those who have something in common. 46. What is the best title of the passage? A. Empathy, Good or Bad? B. Two Important Human Feelings. C. Empathy vs. Sympathy. D. Empathy, A Must in Relationship. 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. Trading Ages A. It made me realize how ignorant I was. B. Though she loved her 86-year-old grandmother, she had found it hard to visit her. C. Both Karoline and Nick found making the program life-changing. D. Afterward, both of them described the "invisibility" of being old. E. Then they had to live each day, for a month, as an old person. F. Nick was also nearly robbed when he was taking money out of an ATM. It took five hours every morning to make Karoline and Nick look like elderly people in their seventies. They were given synthetic wrinkled skin, false teeth, and false hair. They also wore body suits to make them look fatter and contact lenses to make their eyes look older. The discomfort of the makeup, the heavy suits, and the contact lenses (which made their eyesight worse) gave them a small taste of the physical problems of old age. They were also coached to walk and speak like people in their seventies. 47         There was a video diary to record their experiences and hidden cameras to record how other people reacted to them. 48         Karoline was astonished to be ignored by some workmen, who only hours before had been whistling at her when she had been an attractive young woman. Nick said, "I learned that how people treat you depends on what you look like." On one occasion a bus driver treated him very rudely when he tried to pay his fare with a large bill. "I was amazed. He wouldn't have talked like that to my young self." There is a point in the documentary when Karoline breaks down and cries. It comes at the end of a day out with her two new senior citizen friends, Betty and Sylvia. It is partly because she feels guilty that she is tricking them, but mainly because she realizes that they are individuals, and not just members of what she had previously thought of as "the elderly." "They were talking about real things and I felt unqualified. They had been through so much. 49         It was as if I was seeing the young people inside them. Before I would have just seen the wrinkles." 50         Nick said, "I'd never thought about getting old before." Karoline said, "The whole experience of living as an old person helped me to understand them far better and also to understand myself. I felt in a way that they were just young people in an old body trying to deal with the problems of old age. I'm not ready to be 73, but I'm not scared like I was." III. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 51. Intensive farming protects biodiversity A new review says that, to best conserve global biodiversity while feeding a growing human population, agriculture needs to become more intensive rather than more wildlife-friendly. The review, published in the Journal of Zoology, looked at 2,500 species worldwide in a range of agricultural landscapes and found that most species fare better in 'land sparing' systems where agriculture is high-yield, intensive and restricted to a smaller area, rather than in 'land sharing' systems where the farming itself is more wildlife-friendly but needs more land to produce the same amount of food. The findings challenge the current push for wildlife-friendly agriculture. "We've paid billions for land sharing over the past 30 years in the form of agri-environment schemes," says the review's author Andrew Balmford of the University of Cambridge. "Land sparing as a strategy makes sense from a science-based perspective," says Tim Benton, director of the Environment and Society Programme at Chatham House. However, he says an increase in intensive farming would bring its own problems. "Intensification creates spill-overs due to pollution, climate change and pesticide drift, and the market creates needs to turn natural habitat into revenue-generating agriculture." According to Joanna Lewis, director of policy and strategy at the Soil Association, the world needs less intensive agriculture, not more: "Intensive farming has driven the significant declines of wildlife that we've seen over the last 50 years, so we have to move towards a system where all lands are managed in a way that restores nature. And that, she says, need not come at the expense of biodiversity: "What makes that possible is shifting towards more-sustainable diets - less meat and less food waste." IV.
