(For passage D, pick out 5 choices out of 7)AA degree in what?How many people in the world have a university degree in enigmatology? Well, not many. As a matter of fact, the number of enigmatology graduates in the whole world is just one: a man whose job it is to design puzzles for newspapers and magazines. American Will Shortz is an author and crossword editor. He has worked on over a hundred books, and he owns the world’s largest collection of puzzle books and magazines. The oldest title in his collection was published in 1545! And because his work is also his hobby, he has always been interested in learning as much as possible about the subject. Obviously, because he is the only enigmatologist in the world, there were no university professors who could teach him an established course of studies. He did not go to lectures and classes like his fellow students. Shortz designed his own research programme, which the university accepted, and he completed his course and received his bachelor’s degree from Indiana University in 1974.So the question remains, what exactly is enigmatology? It is the study of puzzles: their types, their history, and their popularity. It’s a mixture of history, maths, logic and cultural studies.There were some people who criticized the university for offering a course in such a strange subject, and they were also critical of Shortz, claiming that he had taken advantage of Indiana University’s flexibility. But Shortz has his fans too, such as the former US president Bill Clinton. He sent Shortz a personal note on his 50th birthday because he loves the New York Times crossword, which Shortz edits. Shortz has also been a guest on several television shows, including an episode of the famous cartoon The Simpsons, and the comedy series How I Met YourMother, where he played himself.51．Which of the statement is true according to the text?A. Shortz’s occupation is to write puzzles for university graduates.B. Shortz has worked on all the titles in his collection.C. Shortz did original research and graduated from an American university.D. Bill Clinton sent Shortz a note on his birthday because they’re friends.52. What is the author’s attitude to wards Shortz?A.Indifferent B Neutral C praising D CriticizingBDifferences inside our bodiesDid you know that people who live in different parts of China have different habits and preferences?For example, people from southern China prefer to eat vegetables, while people from north China like to eat meat. But what causes these differences?According to a new study published in the journal Cell in October, gene variations might be responsible for these differences, Xinhua reported.In the study, researchers from Chinese genome-sequencing (基因组测序)firm BGI collected geneticgroups.The researchers found that there are six gene frequencies that are different among people from both northern and southern China. They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have evolved, affecting their food preferences, immunities to illness and physical traits, the New York Times reported. The researchers reported that a variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people than it is in southern people. It helps people metabolize (新陈代谢) fatty acids (脂肪酸), which suggests a diet that is rich in meat. According to Xinhua, this is due to climate differences. Northern China is at a higher latitude, which means it’s cold and dry throughout the whole year. This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in. Therefore, northerners tend to eat more meat.The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups. Most people in southern China carry the gene CR1, which protects against malaria. This is because malaria was once quite common in southern China.In order to survive, the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease. However, people in the south are also more vulnerable to certain blood-borne illnesses, as they lack the genes to stop them.Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners. Most northerners have the ABCC11 gene, which causes dry earwax (⽿屎), l ess body odor and fewer sweat secretions (分泌), The New York Times reported. These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments. Southerners are less likely to have this gene, as it did not evolve in their population.53. What’s this passage mainly about?A. A study of the genes of Chinese minority groups.B. Habits of people from different regions of China.C. Differences in the genes of people from different parts of China.D. Physical differences between northerners and southerners.54. A variation of the gene FADS2 can help our body ______.A. store fatB. digest meatC. fight diseaseD. control sweat55. The u nderlined word “comprised” is closest in meaning to ______.A. consisted ofB. compared toC. completedD. started with56. According to the passage, most northerners in China______.a. tend to have less disease like malariab. have less body odorc. catch blood-borne illnesses easilyd. sweat less frequentlyA. abB. bcC. bdD. cdCCould the Futuristic Traveling Tube Become a Reality?It sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie or a silly cartoon: a futuristic traveling tube that can quickly shoot people wherever they want to go, inside a tiny pod. But this may be just around the corner for people looking for a faster, easier, and cheaper-than-ever way to travel. South African-American inventor and billionaire Elon Musk, who, in the past, has worked on both private space flight and electric cars, recentlyannounced he has been working on the design of this traveling tube, which could forever change the way we travel the world.In an interview, Musk described t he new tube as a fifth kind of transportation. “We have planes, trains, automobiles, and boats,” he explained. “What if there was a fifth mode? I have a name for it, [it’s] called the Hyperloop.”The Hyperloop would have the power to cut back on travel time between major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, which is what inspired Musk to design the Hyperloop in the first place. Musk stated in an interview that he actually came up with the idea for the Hyperloop while thinking about the train that takes people between Los Angeles and San Francisco—it is known for being one of the slowest in the country.“This system I have in mind...can never crash, is immune to weather, it goes three or four times faster than the bullet train…it goes an average speed of twice what an aircraft would do,” explained Musk.“You would go from downtown L. A. to downtown San Francisco in under 30 minutes,” he added. “It would cost you much less than an air ticket [and less] than any other mode of transport.”People using the Hyperloop would shoot around in pods, which are each just over six-and-a-half feet across, and the pods would travel through tubes located either above ground or under water, though Musk has not yet released his final design drawings.Additionally, Musk believes the Hyperloop could be completely powered by the sun—making it more environmentally friendly than cars, airplanes, or train systems. Someday it could possibly move people between the East and West Coasts of the United States in less than an hour, which is faster than any other mode of transportation that exists. Eventually, the Hyperloop would be able to move people around the world.57. What does this passage describe?A. A traveling tube that could help people get around in the future.B.The costs of building traveling tubes around the world.C.The damage that cars, planes, and trains do to the environment.D.The reasons that people are looking for a cheaper-than-ever way to travel.58. If built, the Hyperloop would be faster than any other type of transportation. Why?A.People using the Hyperloop would travel in pods that are about six-and-a-half feet across.B.The Hyperloop is being designed to travel at twice the speed of an airplane.C.Right now people can fly, drive, or take a train to get from Los Angeles to San Francisco.D.Inventors in other countries are working on technology similar to the Hyperloop.59. Why might people want to use the Hyperloop instead of other kinds of transportation?A.People with motion sickness might not be able to handle the Hyperloop.B.People are tired of using the same four kinds of transportation over and over.C.The Hyperloop could take people to places where planes and trains do not go.D.People would not have to pay as much to use the Hyperloop.60. What is this passage mainly about?A.Science fiction movies and cartoons featuring futuristic traveling tubes with tiny pods.B.The interest that inventor Elon Musk has in private space flight and electric cars.C.Why the train between Los Angeles and San Francisco is one of the slowest in the country.D. A tube that could make travel in the future easier, faster, and cheaper.DTribute can go to anythingSince 1927, Time has chosen to profile a person or group and feature them on its front page.61. Here are three of the Time’ma gazine’s more unconventional choices:“The Computer”, 1982At the start of the 1980s, home computing was just starting to take off, with companies like Sinclair and Apple releasing consumer-focused machines to the masses. 62–they were mainly only useful for word processing or extremely basic gaming – at the time they were new, exciting and exotic.“This sweetheart here, this little baby, looks like any ordinary machine, isn’t that so? 63 Comes with new words too: RAM and ROM,” wrote Time.“You”, 2006In the age when sites like YouTube and Facebook were in their new and had not developed very much, Time named those who created and uploaded “user-generated content” onto such websites as its choice of the year.64 ,with a writer for The Atlantic later remark ing: “Is anyone out there not sick of people ironically listing ‘Time Person of the Year, 2006’ in Twitter bios – a reference to the gimmicky(巧妙⼿法的) selection of ‘You’ that year? Didn’t think so.”“Endangered Earth”, 1989During a period of heightened awareness of global warming and climate change, 65 This led to an environmental action plan being later published after Time invited a team of environmental experts and policymakers to an environmental conference it organized.Cloze TestAbbey Ahern, 34, who lives in Oklahoma, was devastated when she was 66 at her 19-week scan that her daughter had the 67 illness anencephaly (先天⽆脑畸形) which meant she would not live beyond a few 68 .According to the National Institutes of Health, the defect means the baby has an 69 brain and incomplete skull. Approximately one in 10,000 babies in the US are born with anencephaly, most of which result 70 miscarriage.(流产).As a result, Abbey and her pilot husband Robert, also 34, decided to have a 71 birth in the next few hours so that they could spend time with their daughter and 72 her organs - making Annie the first infant 73 donor in the state.74 they asked the doctor for the gender of their unborn child and decided to name her 75 the spot. They named her easily: Annie, which means, "grace."Abbey said: ‘76 a terminally-ill baby to 77 was by far the most difficult thing I have ever done... For us, even in the midst of our terrible 78 we were able to see so much 79.’The family spent just 14 hours and 58 minutes with Annie before she 80 away.Her 81 were not viable for transplant 82 her oxygen levels were too low - which Abbey said was 'disappointing' - but they were able to donate her heart valves（瓣膜） an d some of her organs could be used for 83.She said: 'Annie's story is one of 84.

There are still plenty of places on Earth that we haven’t explored: the bottom of the oceans, for example. Why don’t we invest in looking for natural resources there, or for ways to start a colony under the sea? These possibilities are just as exciting as anything we might do in space.2 I think people have forgotten what’s really important. Scientists used to make discoveries that made our lives safer or healthier, and our work easier and more productive. These days it’s all about new forms of entertainment, new ways of was ting time … I’m thinking of things like digital TV, smartphones, computer games. We were perfectly happy without these, and we’ll still be happy if we stop making them one day.3 I think the potential of space is really exciting. It’s not just about visit ing new places; space exploration can help us change our ideas. Scientists can carry out experiments in space that would impossible on Earth. The modern space projects promote co-operation between nations, too – think about the International Space Station, for example. Russia, Europe, Japan and the United States are all building it together. Just thirty years ago it would have been impossible. Would I say yes if anyone asked me to go into space? Definitely!4 Technology develops so fast, it’s difficult to keep up. By the time you buy a new smartphone or an mp3 player, it’s already out of date. I love that! I spend a lot of my free time on the Internet looking for news about new gadgets. It’s just a shame I don’t have the money to buy everything I like.5 I think technology is changing relationships between people. Social-networking sites make it easier to maintain friendships that you don’t have the time for in real life, mobile phones mean we can go anywhere and still keep in touch with people whoare important to us, and Wi-Fi hotspots allow us to work and communicate from almost anywhere. We aren’t tied to one way of doing things any more. I think it’s brilliant, and I can’t imagine living without it now第六材料6.-8M: Are we going to see another mountain lion today, mom?W: Probably not Sam, because we’ll be back before nightfall, and that’s when they wander around the land.M: Oh mom. Can we hike the harder trails to see bigger animals like bear or a deer?W: I’m afraid not Sam, look at the sun, it’s red a nd low on the horizon. How about an easier one so we could getback to the camp before it sets?M: I guess you are right.第七段材料9-11M: It is him, isn’t it? Your coach?W: That’s our coach, sure, and he is great, so what?M: But what …I mean, how…does he ever talk about, you know… Cool?W: He is cool and great---why are you asking those questions? Wait, we got nothing to say to newspaper so just leave our school OK?M: Aha, I got a big one! So he is Captain Cool himself the one on TV for the reality show right?W: Go away! You have such wild imagination!第⼋段材料12-14M: Mom, what is a curator?W: Someone who looks after the museum, Jack. Like your aunt Maria, she looks after the artifacts from Egypt.

Get chewing: can a wellness rebrand make Americans buy gum again?When was the last time you saw someone chewing gum? 1998, maybe? 2007? Chances are, it probably wasn’t recently. Like high heels and affordable housing, chewing gum appears to be going 42Gum’s popularity has been fading globally thanks to increased competition from products like breath mints and mobile phones distracting us from impulse purchases while shopping. The pandemic, moreover, 43 ·accelerated gum’s decline.Even after people 44 from lockdown, sales didn’t recover. Gum sales worldwide in 2023 were 10% below 2018 figures. In the US, the drop has been particularly pronounced: last year 1.2 billion units of gum were sold in the US, 32% fewer than in 2018.However, chewing gum, in various forms, is one of the oldest habits there is. Stone age teenagers were chewing birch bar k tar possibly for pleasure, medicinal purposes, or to use it as a glue. Gum has also been loaded with culturalmeaning and the subject of various 45 panics. Some people believe it is a marker of the bad kids or a habit of the lower class.Despite a certain amount of social stigma（污名）attached to gum, it has - until relatively recently -been a wildly successful product. That’s thanks to William Wrigley Jr, who was a marketing and advertising genius. Wrigley always 46 to find a way to make gum relevant and insert it into consumer culture. For example, Wrigley advertised the idea that chewing gum was a health aid that would help digestion and would relieve stress.This year the Wrigley brand’s owner —Mars—came out with an ad campaign it hopes will revive gum’s 47 by positioning it as an almost instant stress reliever. Linking gum with wellness worked in the 1910s, but is it going to work now? Alex Hayes at the food consultancy is 48 optimistic. “The global well ness market is estimated to be worth more than $1.5 trillion, so it’s no surprise that Mars wants a piece of the pie,” Hayes says. “We’ve seen the success of categories such as tea promoting their products via functional 49 and messaging-teas for good sleep, mental clarity, stress relief, etc. So it comes as no surprise that Mars is risking the same 50 .” But he also notes, customers are increasingly worried about processed foods and are eager to move away from artificial 51 . There’s still ongoing discussion on just how effective repositioning chewable plastic as a health supplement is going to be. Ⅲ．Reading ComprehensionSection A ClozeDirections: 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.It’s safe to say Jeremy Scott is having a lucky year. In March while working as a chauffeur, he told his boss about his plans to set up a driving business. By the end of the journey, Scott’s boss had offered to 52 his idea-a starting capital along with the gift of a £110,000 limousine（豪车）to kick start the business.Of course, there’s an element of luck to everyone’s career. Whether you’re a chief executive or an artist — your 53 won’t be based on hard work alone. For example, the place you were born 54 your education. It determines whether you learn to read, write or complete qualifications, which 55 limits your career choices.Many people believe success is down to talent and hard work, but “this is because most people underestimate the role of 56 ”, says psychologist Dr Elizabeth Nutt Williams. “We do a lot of work to prepare for ourcareers-education, training, taking advantage of mentoring-all of which tend to be in our control.” People don’t like to acknowledge the role of luck in their work, as it 57 this feeling of being in control, adds Williams.Everyone remembers working hard, so people are more likely to overestimate how much of their success is down to diligence than something much more 58 like luck.The reality of success （at least in terms of 59 ）is less clear cut. In the UK, studies show where you are born is likely to determine how much you earn.2017 research found that there is a “class pay gap’’, where professional employers from 60 backgrounds are paid almost £7,000 less a year — despite having the same role, education and experience as colleagues from more privileged families. 61 , black graduates earn up to 23% less per hour than white university leavers, whereas woman in the UK earn 14% less on average than men.Socio-economic status also plays a big role in the 62 you enter. A recent study by the Debrett’s Foundation found seven in every 10 young people aged 16-25 use 63 to get their first job. While research has shown that less able, richer children are 35% more likely to become high earners than their brighter. poorer peers.The truth is: chance and coincidences 64 our careers more than we like to think. Realizing that parts of your career are out of your control sounds 65 , but being grateful for the role of luck in your career can actually make you more fortunate.This is because when you acknowledge the role of luck in your work, you become prepared to take advantage of more fortunate moments. “Chance events occur·but it is all about the individual’s 66 to see those events as possibilities and their willingness to take a risk,” says Williams.52．A．challenge B．adopt C．finance D．reject53．A．performances B．accomplishments C．assessments D．outcomes54．A．accounts for B．applies to C．makes up for D．depends on55．A．in reward B．after all C．in turn D．by nature56．A．chance B．accident C．education D．diligence57．A．emphasizes B．overlooks C．maintains D．weakens58．A．manageable B．vital C．slippery D．minor59．A．reputation B．income C．education D．occupation60．A．wealthier B．poorer C．unique D．diverse61．A．Nevertheless B．Contrarily C．Consequently D．Similarly62．A．profession B．circle C．community D．university63．A．certificates B．online platforms C．career fairs D．family connections64．A．contribute to B．result from C．add to D．hold back65．A．inspiring B．encouraging C．appealing D．discouraging66．A．reluctance B．eagerness C．readiness D．resolutionSection B Passages（A）When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee.74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the burnt garlic’s smell, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired.Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with. To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves（蒜瓣）in an electric oven, and after they’ve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and pac ks them in dripbags.“My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News. “It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.”“The bitterness of burned garl ic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds. He claims that, although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic isthoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee. If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, lwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen（$2.8）. 67．Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “blunder” in the second paragraph?A mistake B．show C．mixture D．brand68．Who is NOT suitable to drink garlic coffee?A．A student having trouble with sleep B．A woman bearing a baby.C．A cleaner working on a day shift. D．A young lady sick of garlic.69．Which of the following is NOT characteristic of garlic coffee?A．It is caffeine-free. B．Garlic powder dissolves in waterC．The burnt garlic create s bitterness. D．It is an improvement on a garlic dish.70．Which of the following can be used to describe Yokitomo Shimotai?A．Venturous and greedy B．Innovative and perseverantC．Hardworking and cautious D．Observant and helpful（B）71．By “how they stacked up” in paragraph 1, the author probably means “how they ______.”A．make sense to manufacturers B．get stuck in storesC are compared with each other D．are piled up together72．Which of the following devices favourably reacts to users?A．Dreampad pillow B．Eight sleep trackerC．Smart Nora Wireless Snoring Solution D．Nightingale Smart Home Sleep System73．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．The Eight keeps the entire bed at the same temperature.B．The Nightinga, is an economical but perfect device.C．Soft music is applied to all these four devices.D．One in three people suffer from sleep problem.（C）One way to divide up the world is between people who like to explore new possibilities and those who stick to the tried and true. In fact, the tension between betting on a sure thing and taking a chance that something unexpected and wonderful might happen troubles human and nonhuman animals alike.Take songbirds, for example. The half-dozen finches（雀）resting at my desk feeder all summer know exactly what they’ll find there: black sunflower seed, and lots of it. Meanwhile, the warblers（莺）exploring the woods nearby don’t depend on this predictable food source in fine weather. As food hunters, they enjoy less exposure to predators and, as a bonus, the chance to meet the perfect mate flying from tree to tree.This “explore-exploit” trade-off（权衡）has prompted scores of lab studies, computer simulations and algorithms （算法）, trying to determine which strategy brings in the greatest reward. Now a new study of human behavior in the real world, published last month in the journal Nature Communications, shows that in good times, there isn’t much of a difference between pursuing novelty and sticking to the status quo（原状）. When the going gets tough. however, explorers are the winners.The new study, led by Shay O’Farrell and James Sanchirico, both of the Univ ersity of California, Davis, along with Orr Spiegel of Tel Aviv University, examined the routes and results of nearly 2,500 commercial fishing trips in the Gulf of Mexico over a period of 2.5 years. The study focused on “bottom longline” fishing, a system where hundreds of lines are attached to a horizontal bar that is then lowered to reach the sea bed. Dr. O’Farrell explained the procedure this way: Go to a location and put the line down. Stay for a few hours. The lines are a mile long and have a buoy （浮标）at either end. When they pull that up, they assess the catch, and then decide if they will stay or move on to a different spot.Over two years of collecting data under various climate conditions, the researchers discovered that the fishermen were fairly c onsistent. “The exploiters would go to a smaller set of locations over and over, and go with what theyknow,” Dr. O’Farrell said. The explorers would constantly try a wider range; they’d sample new places.In the long run, there wasn’t a huge difference in payoffs between the two groups, perhaps due to the sharing information between fishing crews, said Dr. O’Farrell. But in challenging times, the study’s message was clear: “You can try new things in the face of uncertainty.”74．The author takes the songbird as an example to indicate that ______.A．like birds, humans tend to be satisfied with the predictableB．some birds are used to looking for food instead of being fedC．there exist the conservative and the adventurous like humansD．birds choose different ways to look for food in different weather75．According to the third paragraph, people who mastered “explore-exploit” trade-off ______.A．will choose either to pursue novelty or keep the status quoB．are ready to risk in time of difficultyC．will be tough in good times and bad timesD．will grow to be experts in lab studies76．Which can be inferred from the new study led by Shay O’Farrell and James Sanchirico?A．The two groups react to the unexpected differently.B．The “explore-exploit” trade-off helps scientific research a lot.C．The exploiters are used to fishing based solely on their experience.D．The explorers tend to achieve more than the exploiters in the long run.77．Which of the following can be the best title for passage?A．How the Exploiter differs from the Explorer B．How to Become a Productive FishermanC．What is “Explore-Exploit” Trade-off D．When to take risks mattersSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Maya loved cacao so much that they used the beans as currency. They also believed it is good for you—which many people still say today about cacao’s most famous byproduct, chocolate. 78 . While some have suggested that less than an ounce of dark chocolate might improve heart health, much of the research doesn’t involve eating actual chocolate but rather its components — flavanol, especially.79 . In a clinical trial of 21,000 adults, they found that the half of the group that took500mg of. cocoaflavanol supplements daily had a significantly lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease than those who had taken a placebo（安慰剂）.Flavanols may also boost insulin sensitivity, according to some studies, which might be helpful in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）. 80 . Those at risk of diabetes might be wise to choose a cacao-inspired supplement instead of eating chocolate—and the sugar it contains. Other research suggests that the flavanols found in cacao （also present in fruits, vegetables, and tea）could slow cognitive decline during aging, or even boost brain performance by improving blood flow to the cerebral cortex.What these findings mean for chocolate is limited, however. Participants would have had to eat multiple fat and sugar filled chocolate bars a day to source 500mg of flavanols. 81 . So understanding why certain types of chocolate are healthier than the rest is the focus of further research.Ⅳ．Fill in the BlanksHow sneaker culture took over the worldSneakers have come a long way from when they were first invented in 1860s England for the upper-class playing croquet（槌球）and tennis.Long worn for function 82 82 fashion, today sneakers have become an entire culture—both a form of self-expression and a high art found in museum exhibits and designer auction houses.83 transformed sneaker culture into a true phenomenon was the 1985 release of Nike’s Air Jordan 1s. In 1984, Michael Jordan was a talented rookie who had yet to play in a professional game. 84 that, Nike saw Jordan as the future of their brand, signing him to a five-year, $2.5 million endorsement（代言）deal. 85 Jordan matured into one of the greatest basketball players of all time, the sneaker’s popularity skyrocketed.Meanwhile, another cultural shift 86 （take）place with casual Fridays introduced in white-collar businesses. It was when men were allowed to put aside their suits and wear something one day a week that showed people who they really were.As sneakers became increasingly desired, footwear companies turned to 87 （generate）even more publicity by collaborating with celebrities and luxury brands, as well as releasing small batches of limited-edition shoes with eye-pop ping designs.Celebrities also started their collaborations with sneaker brands, which helped target a whole new demographic of people to experience sneaker culture. It was a blending of high and low fashion, 88 the shoe industry has never really seen before. A pair that Jordan wore in his legendary final NBA season 89 （sell ）even for $2.2 mllion, making them the most expensive sneakers ever to appear at auction.By the mid-2010s, speakers 90 （become）solid gold status symbols. Wearing rare and cool sneakers became an expression of one’s social status. But not until recently, sneakers are finally getting their due as part of our cultural heritage—and particularly how Black culture has shaped that heritage. It took decades for the sneaker industry to recognize that 91 these Black athletes or artists that championed their products there would be no sneaker culture.Ⅴ．Translations92．结果看来这项传统的确值得传承给我们的后代。

The need to book in advance.D. The need to become a member.BPeople like to post their selfies(自拍照) on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism(自恋), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel “peer(同伴) pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. But men who post selfies showed more of高一英语第 1 页（共7页）a need to be seen as popular than women who posted selfies.Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos --- even if they click “like”.4. What is the research mainly about?A. The ways of making people look better in selfies.B. The reasons for people posting selfies on social media.C. The differences between men and women in posting selfies.D. The connections between posting selfies and mental health.5. What does the word “vanity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. A deep desire to know about something.B. A special need to be more popular.C. Too much pride in one’s own appearance.D. Strong determination to improve oneself.6. What is Chock’s attitude towards selfie posting?A. Ambiguous.B. Cautious.C. Disapproving.D. Supportive.7. From the last paragraph, we know that the older generations showed their photos to friends and family ______.A. to win praise from viewersB. to show off their camerasC. to improve relationshipsD. to share good momentsCChina's tourists are set to stick close to home and take advantage of discounts as they take time off for the first major holiday since the easing of coronavirus lockdowns, offering a glimpse of what travel may look like after the epidemic（疫情）.A five-day Labour Day holiday from May 1 is being seen as a test for the tourism industry, one of the sectors hardest hit by the coronavirus.Travel operator estimates about 90 million people will go on holiday for the May Day break, less than half the number who went last year.But hotels and major travel operators said they were optimistic about presale figures, with Marriott International saying many companies were promoting "staycations"."It's encouraging to see signs of recovery after a long, cold winter," said Jolyon Bulley, chief executive of InterContinental Hotels Group Greater China, who told Reuters May Day bookings were showing some positive signs.Many people were planning to visit places in home provinces or nearby cities, said, citing ticket sales.Half of its presold rooms were for five-star hotels, indicating travellers were seeking better quality accommodation due to epidemic concerns, it said.They are also taking advantage of cheap domestic flights and hotel deals being offered by airlines and hotel chains eager to get people travelling again.Prices for popular routes such as Beijing to Sanya have been slashed by up to 90%, with booking on average 30% down, according to Alibaba Group's travel booking platform Fliggy.In the financial hub of Shanghai, Marriott is offering guests a 2,202 yuan package that includes a one-night stay at its upscale W Hotel, a cocktail and tapas dinner and spa treatments.Jiang Qin, a 38-year-old Beijing office worker, said she was going away but not too far. She aimed to take her 2-year-old daughter to the nearby city of Tianjin, having scrapped a plan to go to Hainan because of Beijing's quarantine requirements."Tianjin is not the best alternative, but I just want to travel. Anywhere is better than nowhere," she said.However, industry executives warn that it's too soon to say how robust the recovery in holiday travel will be given concern about a second wave of the coronavirus.International travel remains out of the question for most, due to border restrictions imposed by other countries, a lack of flights and two weeks of quarantine that await people coming back to China.Major tourism sites and some restaurants have and been told to limit occupancy to as low as 30% of normal levels, capping any recovery.The China Tourist Attractions Association estimates that destinations will see an 80% drop in revenue in the first quarter."The uncertainties are not completely gone, and no one would be able to tell exactly what will高一英语第 2 页（共7页）happen," said Bulley."Recovery will continue to come in phases in China, and what we can do is to be fully prepared under the new norm."8. How many people went on holiday during May Day break last year according to Travel operator Trip .com?A.90 millionB. Less than 90 millionC. 180 millionD. More than 180 million9. Where are many people planning to go during May Day break?A. Home provinces or nearby cities.B. Hometown.C. Hainan.D. Beijing.10 . What does the underlined word slash mean?A. Reduce by a large amount.B. Increase by a large amount.C. Crash.D. Hit.11. From the passage we know that during the May Day break___A. Many people will go abroad because of the cheap flight.B. Many people will go to southern provinces.C. Many people will go to their hometown.D. People prefer to live hotels of good conditions because of the epidemic.DOf all the planets, none has captured the world's imagination like Mars. Its reddish colour and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about Mars. Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer H. G. Well's The War of the Worlds. Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on Mars. Wells described Martians as threatening. Lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works. Carl Sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply.Today, Mars continues to excite humans—not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study. Space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited, landed on and dug into the Martian surface.The Smithsonian's "Mars Day" offered a chance for people of all ages to touch Mars, or at least a piece of it. Allison and Alycia from Silver Spring, Maryland, brought their children, Grace, Sam, Ryan and Emma. They heard about Mars and its geology from experts. They could see a test version of the Viking landers that reached Mars in July of 1976. They also saw meteorites（陨星）known to have come from the red, or reddish planet. Eight-year-old Sam learned that the ancient description of Mars as red is not exactly right. He said, “It's actually orangish more than red and it's also kind of brown, too.” Emma is six. She learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of Mars. She said, “The closest thing to Mars—the stuff—is from volcanoes mostly.”“Mars Day” offered Allison and Alycia's children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes.12．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Why Martians were considered threatening.B．Why Mars has captured the world's imagination.C．What people generally thought of Mars in the past.D．How H. G. Wells got the idea for his science fiction.13．It is implied in Paragraph 3 that_________.A．today's space scientists still know nothing about MarsB．today's space scientists are very interested in MarsC．science fiction films are no longer set in MarsD．space scientists haven't made any progress in knowing Mars14．Sam would probably agree that _________.A．Mars is not really redB．no meteorites have come from MarsC．Mars cannot be described as a little brownD．the ancient description of Mars' colour is true高一英语第 3 页（共7页）15．What is the writer's attitude towards the idea that humans will set foot on Mars?A．He thinks it may happen in this year.B．He thinks it will always remain a dream.C．He thinks it will come true within hundreds of years.D．He thinks it may happen in the following decades.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
