A
Southeast Asia's Top Spots
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
Here a unique topography（地形）stands out from the sea and forms some 2, 000 little islands. Sailing among them is a wonderful way to spend a few days or more. Land on the little islands for further exploration and rock climbing. Take note of the season, though. Monsoons（季风）from June through September and again from January to March can limit visibility.
Banaue Rice Terraces（巴拿威梯田）, the Philippines
Supposedly entirely built by hand, the 2, 000-year-old stone-and-mud-walled terraces in the Philippines are watered by rivers and springs. During the harvest season, when the rice plants are bright green, the valleys practically shine in the sunshine, and walking around the hillsides is a dreamlike experience.
Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia
An advertisement for Mount Kinabalu is that on a good day you can see all the way to the Philippines. Chances are that you won't see the Philippines from the peak because of frequent fog and rain, but that doesn't mean you should forget about climbing Borneo's highest mountain. It's one of the most accessible mountains in the world. However, it's still a tiring journey to the 4, 095-metre peak.
Ko Lanta, Thailand
Home to some of the best sand and water in the world, it's no wonder that everyone jets off to Ko Lanta. In Ko Lanta, there are beautiful long white sand beaches which are always crowded with tourists. Some of the best diving in Southeast Asia can be found here.
21. When is it suitable to go to Ha Long Bay
A. In March. B. In July. C. In September. D. In October.
22. What can we learn about Mount Kinabalu
A. It has shining rice plants. B. It is the highest mountain in Asia.
C. It takes much effort to reach its peak. D. It is a popular destination for rock climbing.
23. Which of the following is the best choice for divers
A. Ko Lanta. B. Banaue Rice Terraces.
C. Mount Kinabalu. D. Ha Long Bay.

Before coming to La Salle High School, Amelia Amand attended St. Agatha School in Portland, Oregon. "I decided to come to La Salle as a senior one student because the school has a good volleyball program I really love," she said.
Volleyball is a big part of Amand's life. She has been playing volleyball since the third grade. Amand now plays for La Salle's school volleyball team. "I enjoy it because it's a good way to reduce worry," she said.
Volleyball takes up a lot of Amand's free time outside of the classroom, and balancing schoolwork with sports can be a challenge. "It can be arduous. You've just got to keep concentrated," she said.
In the future, Amand has a big goal. "I'd love to go into the medical field," she said, explaining that this is something she has always wanted to do.
Here at La Salle, Amand wishes to be proud of her work. Two of her favorite classes are Honors English Ⅱ and Honors Chemistry. They are taught by Mr. Greg Larson and Mr.Matthew Owen. Amand explained that this was mainly because she can receive excellent instructions in the classes. However, she said that Honors Chemistry is one of her most difficult courses this year.
Outside of school, Amand enjoys hanging out with her friends and talking to them. She also likes spending time with her family. "They're really supportive of everything, which is great," Amand said. One of her favorite places to visit with them is Michigan. "I love traveling to Michigan because my family lives there, so it's really nice to see everyone," she said. Her suggestions for new students are "to get along well with your teachers and to do all your work on time".
24. What played an important role in making Amand come to La Salle
A. Her hobby. B. Her good grades. C. Her responsibility. D. Her friends' advice.
25. What does the underlined word "arduous" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Interesting. B. Strange. C. Difficult. D. Important.
26. What does Amand probably want to be when she grows up
A. A teacher. B. A doctor. C. A sportswoman. D. A businesswoman.
27. Which is one of Amand's suggestions given to new students
A. Build good relationships with teachers. B. Ask teachers for help when necessary.
C. Finish all schoolwork before class is over. D. Spend more time with friends in school.

Hundreds of millions of birds die every year from crashing into windows, one of the biggest sources of human-caused bird deaths—far greater than wind turbines（风力涡轮机）and airplane strikes combined. In a bid to help birds see the panes（窗玻璃）before it's too late, people may stick decals or tinted films on their windows—often on the indoor side. But a recent study in PeerJ Life & Environment shows that such films work only on a window's outside surface.
"Putting these window films on the inside really is not giving you the benefit that you would want for protecting the birds," says John P. Swaddle, a biologist at the College of William and Mary and lead author of the new study.
To test the films' effectiveness, Swaddle and his co-workers applied one of two commercially available films to either inner or outer window surfaces. One film reflected shorter light wavelengths that humans cannot see, and the other reflected longer wavelengths（many birds can see both）. Both films helped to prevent bird strikes by more than 35 percent when put on the outside surface, the study found—but films on the inside had no benefit at all.
"It's some groundbreaking work about the small differences between what can and can't work in terms of preventing window strikes from birds," says George Mason University biologist David Luther, who studies the evolution of birds in cities and was not involved in the study.
People usually find it much easier to put films or decals on the inside of a window, says Natalia Ocampo-Penuela, a conservation ecologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was also not involved in the study. "For taller buildings, to apply something to the outside, you need scaffolding（脚手架）... you need to clean the windows extra well for them to apply correctly, and they don't last as long."
28. Why are bird deaths caused by wind turbines and airplane strikes mentioned
A. To provide some background knowledge for the text.
B. To stress the problem of birds crashing into the windows.
C. To introduce the importance of bird strikes into the windows.
D. To remind people to raise their awareness of protecting the birds.
29. What determines the effect of the experiment result
A. The materials of the film. B. The wavelengths of the films.
C. The quality of the films available. D. The side of the window to apply the film to.
30. What did the researchers do to know how well the film worked
A. They applied scaffolding in front of the windows.
B. They put the film on the inside to get desired benefit.
C. They compared the effects of the film on different sides.
D. They used both shorter and longer light wavelengths.
31. What is the text intended to do
A. To inspire readers to do researches on birds.
B. To call on the bird lovers to protect the birds.
C. To teach readers to apply the tinted film to the windows.
D. To explain how tinted films work in preventing bird deaths.
D
Jason M. Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award-winning image is stirring debates about whether art can be generated by a computer, and what, exactly, it means to be an artist.
In August 2022, Allen, a 39-year-old game designer who lives in Pueblo West, Colorado, won first place in the "digital arts/ digitally-operated photography" category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His winning image, titled Théatre D'opéra Spatial, was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence（AI） system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts（提示）。
Allen's winning image looks like a bright cross between a classic and modern painting. It's one of three such images he entered in the competition. Allen posted excitedly about his win on Midjourney's Discord server on August 25, along with pictures of his three entries. It spread quickly on social media days later, with many artists feeling angry about Allen's win because of his use of AI to create the image. "He just pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece," one user wrote. "We're watching the death of art unfold before our eyes."
However, to get the final three images he entered in the competition, Allen said, he took over 80 hours. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in nice dresses and space helmets. Over time, with slight adjustments to his written prompts, he created 900 repeating processes of what led to his final three images. He gave the final touch to those three images in Photoshop. Then he ran the images through another software program called Gigapixel AI that can improve resolution（分辨率）and had the images printed at a local print shop.
Allen is glad that debates over whether AI can be used to make art are getting so much attention. "Rather than hating the technology or the people behind it, we need to recognize it's a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward," Allen said.
32. What do we know about Théatre D'opéra Spatial
A. Its beauty is widely accepted. B. Its creation is an easy process.
C. It has caused a lot of arguments. D. It shows the death of traditional art.
33. What did Allen do to create his entries
A. He edited his final images in Photoshop. B. He searched for smart written prompts.
C. He fed Midjourney with famous paintings. D. He developed the software named Gigapixel.
34. What is Allen's attitude to the debates over AI-created art
A. Worried. B. Uncaring. C. Annoyed. D. Positive.
35. What might be the best title for the text
A. AI Beats out Human Artists in the Art Field
B. AI Won an Art Contest and Artists Are Angry
C. An Artist Wins State Fair Art Contest and Laughs
D. The Artist from Pueblo West Is Defending His Work

Four Ways to Reach a Healthy Weight
Diets aren't the way to go when it comes to losing weight. Most dieters gain back any lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits. 36 Here are four ways to make that happen.
Exercise.
37 Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can be useful. If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workouts and add some strength exercises to build up your muscles. The more muscles you have, the more calories you burn, even when you aren't exercising.
38
One reason why people get less exercise these days is that there is an increase in "screen time"—the amount of time spent watching TV, looking at the computer, using mobile devices, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day. If you're staying with friends at the mall, you're getting more exercise than if you're texting them in your room.
Watch out for portion distortion（份量的歪曲）。
Portion sizes are bigger than they used to be, and these extra calories contribute to obesity. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary beverages, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks. 39
Don't skip breakfast.
Breakfast kick-starts your metabolism（新陈代谢）, burning calories from the beginning and giving you energy to do more things during the day. 40 So they get more calories than they would have if they had eaten breakfast.
A. Go out regularly.
B. Reduce screen time.
C. So what's the best way to drop extra weight
D. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds up muscles.
E. They are puzzled about how they should deal with their eating habits.
F. People who skip breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on.
G. So choose smaller portions and go for water or low-fat milk instead of sodas.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jack was a high school freshman, tall and thin, with a heart full of dreams. Jack's father was a repairman who spent his days fixing cars, so his hands were always dirty. Jack's father never said much, but his eyes always seemed to say, "I'm proud of you, son." And Jack felt it in every nod. Their relationship was a quiet one, with an unspoken bond（纽带）。
One day, Jack came home from school with a flyer（传单）in his hand. His eyes were bright with excitement as he showed it to his father. "Dad, there's a school talent show next month, and I want to enter. I've been learning guitar for months," Jack said to his father.
His father looked up from the engine he was working on. "You play the guitar " he asked in surprise. Feeling a little embarrassed, Jack nodded, saying, "Yeah, I've been taking lessons. I think I'm ready." His father cleaned his hands with a piece of cloth, looked at Jack and smiled, "I'll be there, son. I wouldn't miss it." Through his father's eyes, Jack knew he had his father's support.
The days leading up to the talent show were more practice and anxiety for Jack. He would come home after school and lock himself in his room, the sound of his guitar echoing（回响）through the house. His father didn't speak too much, but he would prepare delicious food and smiled at Jack whenever he saw his son. He would also quietly listen to the music from the living room. Although Jack felt tired or nervous sometimes, he felt pushed forward by unspoken love.
The day of the talent show arrived, and the school hall was filled with excitement. Jack's hands were shaking as he prepared his guitar backstage. He looked out into the audience and found his father with a broad smile on his face.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

25. C 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“balancing schoolwork with sports can be a challenge”可知，平衡学业和运动是一项挑战，所以可能是艰难的, arduous与difficult同义。
26. B 推理判断题。根据第四段内容“In the future, Amand has a big goal. 'I'd love to go into the medical field, 'she said, explaining that this is something she has always wanted to do.”推断可知, Amand长大后可能会当医生。

33. A 细节理解题。根据第四段中“He gave the final touch to those three images in Photoshop.”可知, Allen创作他的参赛作品时，用Photoshop编辑他的最终图像。
34. D 态度判断题。根据最后一段“Allen is glad that debates over whether AI can be used to make art are getting so much attention.

Dear Jessica,
I'm Li Hua. Learning that our school will select 10 students to be the volunteers of the cultural exchange activity between China and other countries, I'm writing to apply for the opportunity.
I'm confident that I am a right person for this activity. Firstly, I am fluent in English, which plays an important role in communicating with foreigners. Secondly, I have learned shadow plays for eight years and am capable of performing them well. What's more, I'm outgoing and can get on well with others.
I would appreciate it if you could give me this chance.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

As Jack stepped onto the stage, the lights dimmed（变暗）and the audience quieted down. He took a deep breath, his fingers finding their place on the guitar. And then he began to play. The music filled the hall, and as he played, he saw his father's eyes in the dim light. When the last note faded, the audience broke into applause. Jack's heart swelled with pride and joy. As Jack left the stage, his father was there, his hands clapping loudly and his eyes shining with tears.
"I didn't know you could play like that," his father said. "You were great." Jack flushed with pride, "Thanks, Dad. I couldn't have done it without your support." As they walked out of the hall together, the unspoken bond between them felt stronger than ever. The silence between them was comfortable, filled with the understanding that sometimes actions speak louder than words. From that day on, Jack knew that no matter where life took him, the bond of love and pride that connected him to his father would never fade.

W: Help me decide on which type of hotel room to book.
M: How about the one with a bed
W: Very funny. We have a choice of different views, and each one is a different price. For instance, a room with a city view is 180 dollars a night.
M: 180 dollars a night ! That's unbelievably expensive!

M: I don't really care which type of room we get as long as we don't end up with a room on the ground floor. I don't like having people walking back and forth outside my window all night.
W: Okay, I can request a room on an upper floor. You really don't have a preference
M: No, not really.
W: There is a penthouse room for 400 dollars a night.
M: What ! For that price, I'd better get a view of the Eiffel Tower, the Parthenon, and the Great Wall of China!

M: I've been living alone here for a while now. Everybody here in London is very kind to me, but there are times when I feel homesick and get rather sad. It's bound to happen when you live far from home. I sometimes get a little tired of cooking meals just for myself. Once a week, I go to Soho, which is a part of London where there are all sorts of restaurants: French, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Indian and Chinese. So, when I don't want to cook, I will go to one of the restaurants in Soho and have a meal there. Sometimes I even treat myself to a bottle of wine. Wine isn't cheap in London—at least not when you buy it at a restaurant. It isn't something we will drink in our daily life.
British people do not talk as much as we do. They are more reserved. I've often traveled by train and noticed that people seldom chat with each other during the journey. They like to keep themselves to themselves. A British friend of mine, who can speak seven languages, is also a quiet person. But I've found one way to make him talk. He's very interested in mountain climbing. If I ask him about climbing, he's always ready to talk. When it comes to that subject, he suddenly opens up.
