But much of the national park that is visible from Sa Pa remains as wild and beautiful as ever.What to knowVietnam does not offer visas on arrival to Americans.

If you walk down any main street in any major world city, you will find at least one Italian restaurant. Furthermore, Italy has seen changes in its own eating habits due to influence from other countries.Food has always been very important for Italian families. Italians take a lot of pride in the making and preparation of food. Until recently, pasta -a basic Italian food --would have been made by people in their local area. Families would also have made the sauces to eat with the pasta at home. In addition, people's opportunity to experiment with foreign food was very limited, since only pizza and pasta were available in the local town square.Nowadays, however, Italian eating habits appear to have changed. People no longer spend so much time preparing their meals. Indeed, frozen or takeaway Italian meals have become very popular in Italy. Furthermore, dried pasta is now mass-produced and is sold relatively cheaply in the supermarkets. Ready-made pasta sauces are also increasingly popular - sales have doubled in the last five years, according to one manufacturer. Another important change in Italian eating habits is the increasing popularity of foreign cuisine（烹饪）, especially Indian, Chinese and Japanese foods. This trend is more common in urban areas such as Rome, Milan and Venice, although many smaller towns are also experiencing similar changes.These changes have both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, globalization has increased the range of food available in Italy. Italians now have much more choice in terms of what they eat. They also do not need to spend so long preparing and making food, unless of course they want to. In contrast, it can be argued that large restaurant chains are becoming increasingly powerful, resulting in the destruction of local and national specialities. Consequently, many Italians worry that they are losing their sense of nationality, as foreign food becomes more common.In summary, globalization has had a significant influence on the way that Italians eat. Convenience foods have replaced many of the traditional home-cooked meals, and the availability of foreign foods has greatly increased. While this extra choice is welcomed by some others fear the damage it may cause to Italian traditions. Possibly the global popularity of Italian food will ensure that it survives.59. All the following shows that Italian eating habits have changed EXCEPT that ________.A. Italian people increasingly rely on frozen or takeaway Italian foodB. dried pasta is produced in large quantities and priced lowerC. food from other countries has flooded onto Italian tablesD. Italian food has long been on the menus of foreign restaurants60. Many Italians are concerned that ________.A. there are limited food choices in ItalyB. Italian people are losing interest in making foodC. international food chains may destroy Italian food traditionsD. Italian food is becoming less powerful in international markets61. Who can be the target readers of this essay?A. People who are experts in Italian food.B. People who have a general interest in food.C. People who want to visit Europe on holidayD. People who deny the benefits of globalization62. The author's main intention in writing this essay is to show that ________.A. globalization has damaged Italian cultureB. globalization has caused trouble to some countriesC. globalization has fundamentally changed Italian foodD. globalization has made a largely positive impact on Italian foodSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.What It's Like to Be a Hotel TesterA woman arrives alone to stay at a hotel. She sits by the pool and later order room service. The hotel staff assume she's on holiday. ________63________ This particular hotel tester is on a secret mission in Gran Cannria, Spain, checking the Las Palmmas hotel's standard of service."I can try everything here," she says. But what sounds like going on holiday for a living is actually hard work. There's a list of 2,500 questions that have to be addressed before she leaves the hotel. It's vital to maintain her anonymity（匿名）to ensure she's not given special treatment by the hotel staff. ________64________.She looks at things like the staff's level of helpfulness, the cleanliness in the rooms, and even small things like whether the toilet paper is folded neatly ________65________ "At the start it was difficult to remember all the questions," she says. After all she can't bring the list with her to the pool so she has to memorise it. Every day she checks a different part of the hotel and sometimes takes photos. Then she writes a detailed report, including everything positive andnegative she has encountered.________66________ However, it's a profession that could be on its way out. One hotel tester, Michael Bauer, says that there are fewer testers than before because many guests now post reviews online, meaning, the hotel management can see what customers say on sites like Trip-Advisor, and take steps to improve things. "You don't need testers for that", Bauer says. "We are a dying breed."Ⅱ.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.67. 人工智能的发展会对人们就业造成威胁吗？(threat)68. 这本书一发售就大受欢迎，轰动一时。

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.In 1831, a 22-year-old English biologist called Charles Darwin boarded the HMS Beagle in Plymouth and set off on an incredible voyage. His aim was to observe the natural world in places 1 had not been studied in much detail. Almost 200 years later, another mission, the Darwin 200, has invited a team of conservationists to retrace back the Beagle’s journey.HMS Beagle’s mission was to m ap the harbours of South America. Darwin was invited along 2 (survey) the natural world. His observations on the Galapagos Islands, around 560 miles off the coast of Ecuador, changed the way Darwin saw nature, 3 (lead) to Darwin’s most famous work: his theory of evolution (进化论). This explained 4 species change over time to adapt to their environments, a process called natural selection. It has been described as “ 5 (big) single idea in the history of human thought”.What is Darwin 200’s mission? The Darwin200 ship 6 (sail) more than 40,000 miles and stop at 32 ports in four continents. Specially 7 (choose) conservationists will join at different stages for a week each to carry out wildlife studies. 8 the journey, the ship’s crew will make films t hat explain Charles Darwin’s discoveries.The Darwin 200 team will travel in a 50-metre-long Dutch sailing ship called Oosterschelde, which 9 (build) in 1918 and has been restored fully for this voyage. The ship’s captain said, “She has sailed the distance from here to the Moon and back twice! 10 I may handle the most difficult situations, I trust her to bring me back home safely.”The ship is due to reach the Galapagos Islands in April 2025Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

In the title character, Santiago, Hemingway describes one of the most distinguished examples in American 11 of an individual looking deep within to work up the courage necessary to get through the achievements and sad events that life presents.Alone on the sea, Santiago continuously 12 to find hope in several seemingly hopeless situations. The old man illustrates Hemingway’s ideal of 13 “grace under pressure”, as he refuses to give in to the enormous obstacles (障碍) presented by the sea. Relying on memories of his youth, Santiago finds the 14 to physically and emotionally carry on throughout the story.After catching the great marlin (马林鱼) Santiago realizes he is unable to quickly kill the fish, and it proceeds to pull him farther out to sea. Yet, throughout the battle between man and fish the old man begins to recognize a(n) 15 between him and the marlin, repeatedly referring to it as his brother. Both the old man and the fish are only insignificant among the 16 creatures at sea, joined together by the fact that they are at the mercy of the sea.The fish, therefore, changes from merely being Santiago’s prey (猎物) into a reflection of the old man’s 17 and physical state. When the sharks damage the dead marlin hanging off the side of the boat as Santiago struggles to sail home, the old man fights them off as if they were 18 him. Only when the marlin’s body has been entirely eaten away does Santiago give up, knowing he “was 19 now finally”.Although the old man seemingly fails once the sharks steal his prize fish, they cannot take away the fact that Santiago has done the unthinkable by staying with and catching a fish “bigger than he had ever heard of”. In spite of not successfully bringing t he fish back, Santiago fights with 20 — first to catch the marlin, then to protect his fish from the sharks — and in doing so declares his humanity by remaining resilient (坚韧的) in the face of achievements and sad events.5 Ways to Determine Website ReliabilityFor every trustworthy website, there is tons of information that’s inaccurate, unreliable or just crazy. For the inexperienced journalist or researcher, such sites can _________ a wide range of possible problems. With that in mind, here are five ways to tell if a website is _________.● Look for Established InstitutionsThe internet is full of websites that were _________ five minutes ago. What you want are sites associated with _________ institutions that have been around for a while and have a proven track record of reliability. Such sites may include those run by government agencies, nonprofit organization or universities.● Consult Sites with Expertise (专门知识)You wouldn’t go to the hospital to have your car repaired. This is an obvious point: _________ websites that specialize in the kind of information you’re seeking. _________, if you’re writing a story on a flu outbreak, check out medical websites, such as The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.● _________ Commercial SitesSites run by companies and business—their websites usually end in. com—are often trying to sell you something. And if they’re trying to sell you something, chances are whatever information they’re presenting will be tilted (偏向) _________ their product. That’s not to say commercial sites should be _________ entirely. But be cautious.● Check the ____________As a reporter, you need the most up-to-date information available, so if a website seems old, it’s probably best to keep distance from it. One way to check: Look f or a “last ____________” date on the page or site.● Check the LinksRespected ____________ often link to each other. You can find out which other websites link to the site you’re researching by conducting a link-specific Google search. Enter the following text into the Google search field, ____________ “[WEBSITE]” with the domain (域名) of the site you’re researching: link: http://www.[WEBSITE].com. For example, link: .The search ____________ will show you which websites link to the one y ou’re researching. If lots of sites are linking to your site, and those sites seem reliable, that’s a good ____________. Then it seems that you don’t need to worry about them too much21.A．perceive B．cause C．track D．confirm22.A．flexible B．informative C．reliable D．appealing 23.A．started B．banned C．visited D．evaluated 24.A．temporary B．accessible C．existing D．trusted 25.A．Set up B．CommunicateC．Look for D．Invest inwith26.A．However B．Contrarily C．In addition D．For example 27.A．Avoid B．Greet C．Notice D．Run28.A．in place of B．in resistance to C．in favour of D．on behalf of 29.A．considered B．screened C．assessed D．refreshed 30.A．Site B．Journalist C．Source D．Date31.A．updated B．registered C．spotted D．clicked 32.A．fields B．companies C．texts D．websites 33.A．illustrating B．replacing C．connecting D．searching 34.A．teams B．firms C．results D．authorities 35.A．sign B．reputation C．journal D．productIn 2008, a man who lived in Detroit named Jerrold Foke, whom everyone called “Uncle Jerrold”, came up with an unusual idea. Foke had realized that for a long time, there had only been 26 letters in the English alphabet. He had referred to another alphabet, called the phonetic alphabet (音标字母表) — which is like an alphabet for sounds — and came across a symbol that aroused his interest. It looks like an upside-down, lowercase “e” (“ə”) and represents the sound, “uh,” like the noise you make when you’re confused. It is called the “schwa”. Foke thought it might be time for a new letter to be added.Jerrold had a good reason for wanting to add a new letter to the English alphabet. He thought that if English got a new letter, then people might be able to make new words. He reasoned that if people made new words, they might be able to communicate better.Jerrold began telling everyone he knew about the schwa. He requested that friends help him make new words using the schwa. People would use the schwa to make an “uh” sound in the word. His friends thought this was a pretty good idea.Jerrold lived in a hotel in downtown Detroit. Every day, when he went down to the lobby (大厅) someone he knew would tell him a new word he’d made. In an effort to spread the schwa still farther, Jerrold began to spend some of his days standing in Campus Martius Plaza, with a sign that said “Have you heard about the schwa?” He liked to share some of the words he and his friends had made, and then invite these people to make their own schwa-based words. Some people did so enthusiastically, while others were more doubtful about the schwa’s potential. When people asked Jerrold where the schwa should go in the alphabet, he’d always say, “In the front.” When people asked him why, he’d say, “Because that’s where it belongs.”Because of Jerrold’s work, people were encouraged to make their own words, whether using the schwa or not. His goal of increasing communication between different people remained one that was greatly valued.36. According to the passage, Jerrold’s unusual idea was to ________.A．develop an interest in language B．make a confusing noise in publicC．introduce a new word to his friend D．add a letter to the English alphabet37. Jerrold encouraged people to use the schwa mainly because ________.A．it would catch on in England very soon B．people were reluctant to make new wordsC．it might allow people to communicate better D．there were things for which English had no word38. Jerrold’s work can be described as ________.A．valueless B．confusing C．inspiring D．unreasonableThroughout history, humans have come up with ways to entertain themselves using objects such as cards, counters, and boards. Over thousands of years, these have evolved (进化) into the games we know today, from traditional sets with simple rules and basic pieces, all the way to modern electronic consoles (see the picture attached on the right-hand side) with advanced technology and lifelike interactive graphics (图形).Strategy game Chess39. Which of the four choices best matches the picture on the right?A．B．C．D．40. The underlined word “forerunner” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A．follower B．pioneer C．winner D．loser41. The passage is likely to be an excerpt from ________.A．Cultures of Asia B．Playing GamesC．20th-century Fashion D．Scientific InspirationI started participating in student journalism when I was in high school. And when I started, I really just saw my articles as more fun versions of the academic essays I was writing every day in class. It wasn’t really until an article I wrote in March 2020, that I really understood the power of expressing my voice through journalism, and the unique appeal and responsibility of being both a student and a journalist.Most of the things reported on in student publications directly or indirectly affect the journalists writing about them. This differs from mainstream publications (刊物), who often have the privilege (特权) to objectively cover things that they have no connection with. Student journalists, on the other hand, often find themselves trying t o put on a different “hat” when it comes to reporting, but in my eyes part of the magic of being a student journalist is that despite putting on a different “hat”, it’s still the same you.We know what is important to report on because we are constantly surrounded by the student voice. An Irish Times or Independent reporter would never know about the burden of high rents, or why so many campus spaces are not accessible, or feel the fears of examination changes in light of artificial intelligence. Students k now what students care about, and what issues aren’t getting the attention they deserve.I’ve always been drawn to comment articles, particularly because it’s a place I feel my voice holds a special significance, and one where my words and my articles come together to represent me. Opinion pieces are unique, in that they are the only article format that doesn’t have to be entirely objective. I, and many other comment writers I chat to, find this freeing. It’s a relaxing experience towork out an important issue from your own viewpoint and even with your own frustration (挫败、失意) or praise, and it feels especially personal.We need to protect student journalists, but we also need to expand the field we can cover in student journalism. The student voice is power ful because it is diverse, and it’s critical to reflect their voice. The press also has an important role in defending itself. Freedom of information is one of the most sacred (神圣的) things we have, and one that we as students need to protect.42. How are student journalists different from the mainstream publications?A．They can hardly identify issues relevant to peers.B．They have an objective viewpoint on the issues.C．They report on issues directly affecting them.D．They prioritize objectivity over other things43. The writer most likely agrees that ________.A．student voice may always lead us to making unfair judgmentsB．student reporters can keep their individuality when playing various rolesC．student articles offer an entertaining twist on traditional academic essaysD．student journalists should focus on the topics within their professional fields44. By giving the example of An Irish Times, the writer intends to ________.A．inform readers of the high rentsB．attach importance to student voiceC．praise mainstream media for their effortsD．bring up the topic of artificial intelligence45. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A．Freedom of speech and the pressB．The importance of student journalismC．The responsibility of mainstream mediaD．Embracing the diversity of student voice46. 每当有人靠近这只宠物猫，它就会跑进草丛躲起来。

July is also whenNorway's weather is at its warmest, about18℃, so travelers might include a light sweater in their luggage.Bastille Day inParisJuly 14 is a national day celebrating independence to the French. July 14, 1789, is the day the French stormed the Bastille, aParisprison, and officially began the French Revolution, overthrowing a royal government that often threw people in prison there for no reason at all.

However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.4.

It helps livestreamers improve themselves.6. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.7. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.CI am a part of the Windward Robotics team known as the Omnicats, one of the many clubs offered at my school. My eight teammates and I started out by watching the robotics qualifiers and finals of Chinese teams. We used these robotics videos for inspiration and drew up mind maps of what our team wanted to do.We meet every day for two hours after school in order to build our robots. Typically, adultsoverseewhat students are building, but my school lets teens take control. It leaves room for more errors, but we're prouder of our final product.Before our first real match, a practice was offered at the actual site. My sub-team had been further along than other teams but quickly fell behind. When we arrived on that big day, I immediately felt my teammates' nervousness. Our first match was in three minutes. All of us glanced around at each other since we were not prepared at all. Our robot was still sitting in a box. Two of our teammates rushed to take the robot for an official examination as the rest of us discussed our strategy (策略).Our team captain explained that we all should try driving the robot now, while it was early in the season. She gave me the remote. I had only driven for a limited amount of time in practice so I was extremely nervous. Our autonomous code (自动代码) beganto run almost immediately after our short discussion. Despite all the drama, we ended up winning the match.Not too bad for the first match! I was so proud. I did not enjoy the pressure of driving but liked building the robot behind the scenes instead.We have transferred to a different type of robotics at the end of the semester, which involves the whole team designing one giant robot with large tools. I am a part of the electrical team now, so I make sure the motherboard (母板) can supply the robot's energy needs. We have all enjoyed the rest of the season and learned that robotics it never dull!8. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. InspectB. AdmireC. OverlookD. Assume9. Why did her teammatesfed so nervous before first match?A. Because it was really too difficult for them.B. Because they didn't prepare for it at all.C. Because they didn't know what the match would be like.D. Because they didn't make full preparations before the match.10. How did the author feel about their first robotics match?A. It was tiring but exciting.B. It was stressful but wonderful.C. It was terrible but powerful.D. It was boring but professional11. What is the best title for the text?A. A Girl Who Loves RobotsB. My First Robotics MatchC. Teamwork for RobotsD. Robotics Is Never DullDThe regular world presented to us by our five senses — you could call it reality 1.0 — is not always the most user-friendly. We get lost in unfamiliar cities; we meet people whose language we don’t understand. So why not try the improved version: augmented reality（AR）or reality 2.0 ? AR technology adds computer-produced images on the real world via a mobile phone camera or special video glasses.Early forms of AR are already here — smart phones can deliver information about nearby ATMs and restaurants and other points of interest. But that’s just the beginning. A few years from now the quantity of information available will have increased hugely. You will not only see that there’s a Chinese restaurant on the next block, but you will be able to see the menu and read reviews of it.This is where the next revolution in computing will take place: in the interface（界面）between the real worldand the information brought to us via the Internet. Imagine bubbles floating before your eyes, filled with cool information about anything and everything that you see in front of you.Let’s jump ahead to ten years from now. A person trying to fix a car won’t be reading a book with pictures; he will be wearing a device that projects animated 3D computer graphics onto the equipment under repair, labelling parts and giving step-by-step guidance.The window onto the AR world can be a smart phone or special video glasses. But in ten years’ time these will have been replaced by contact lenses(隐形眼镜) with tiny LEDs, which present something at a readable distance in front of eyes. So a deaf person wearing these lenses will be able to see what people are saying.The question is, while we are all absorbed in our new augmented reality world, how willwe be communicating with each other?12. What is the text mainly about?A. The relationship between reality 1.0 and reality 2.0.B. Different forms of the AR technology.C. The next information technology revolution.D. The popularity of the AR technology.13. Which of the following will AR technology support according to the text?A. To pay for things online conveniently.B. To play online games merrily.C. To offer information efficiently.D. To communicate with others socially.14. What are Contact lenses with tiny LEDs used for?A. Show texts and images.B. Protect people’s eyes.C. Help deaf people communicate.D. Replace smart phone.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the AR technology?A. Indifferent.B. Critical.C. Concerned.D. Favourable.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
