Among the world’s waste-recycling pioneers, Germany is the leader. The country has quite a detailed way of sorting their waste-down to the color of glass waste, the type of paper, the separate bin for metals, etc.
Here below are what you should know about Germany’s waste sorting system：
◇You are expected to gather your waste in your apartment/housing area’s local public garbage bins.
◇There are commonly several types of public garbage bins available in the German’s apartment/housing areas：
Blue bin — for paper and cardboard
Green and white bin — for glass, different bins for differently colored glass, not available for holiday decorations and lights
Yellow/orange bin — for plastic and metals
Brown bin — for goods that can be changed naturally by bacteria into substances that don’t harm the environment, like leftovers, fruit and vegetables
Gray/black bin — for everything else that can’t be recycled such as used cat litter and animal waste
◇Some items don’t belong in these public garbage bins. Items like used batteries, electronics, unused paints, and lights must be returned to the special agent/locations so they can be properly recycled. Other items such as clothes, shoes, and oversized rubbish and furniture are advised to be donated or sold.
◇There’s this thing called Pfand in Germany, a certain part of the price for a bottled drink that you get back if you send back the bottle to certified (有资历的) shops. German law requires shops over a certain size selling bottled drinks have a Pfandruckgabestelle, or place for bottles with deposits (押金). These bottles usually made of glass or plastic will be refilled. Of course, there’re strict health regulations.
21. Which bin should the fallen leaves be classified into？

C. The grey/black bin. D. The green and white bin.
22.How can Germans deal with some used sneakers？

C. By giving it away to those in need. D. By donating it to a Pfandruckgabestelle.
23. What is the aim of Pfand？

C. To reduce the broken bottles. D. To encourage bottles to be returned.
B
I grew up on a dairy farm. The particular life location to which I got assigned—“stuck” is a better word if you’ve ever been there — was a small family-owned-and-operated outfit.
I remember the Christmas when our main hired hand dropped out of the work rotation. Sixteen and the oldest of the kids left at home, I was called on to fill in. Halfway through the first day, I realized I had never noticed exactly how much that worker did. For five days I either milked or slept, fed calves (牛犊) or slept. I have to admit this gave me a deep appreciation of how hard my parents worked day in and day out for 30 years, and that understanding solidified my determination to do whatever it took to not stay on that dairy farm my whole life.
Eventually, my determination paid off. I got into college. Now, I no longer have to worry about my father’s voice yelling, “Stace, come out here! We need help!” To be honest, I’m grateful. But at the same time, I also don’t have a compelling reason to be up in time to see the beauty of a sunrise. Nor do I have the opportunity to dance with my sister in the dairy barn, work side-by-side with my dad and hear the old stories.
Now, there are whole stretches of days when I don’t feel any pressing need to even go outside. And I can go months without petting an animal or watching in amazement at their keen sense of the environment around them. Instead, I have neighbors within shouting distance but who feel like they live a planet away.
Eighteen years I lived my life on that dairy, not really knowing there were people who didn’t get up and go out and work together to get the same overwhelming tasks done day after day. Sometimes I wish I had never found out there were.
24. What did the author come to understand on her first day working on the farm
A. She couldn’t manage so much work.
B. Her parents sacrificed a lot for her family.
C. The tasks were dull and challenging.
D. The work was more demanding than expected.
25. What motivated the author to pursue further education
A. Lack of opportunities on the farm.
B. A passion for academic study.
C. Her dissatisfaction with farm life.
D. Encouragement from her parents.
26. How does the author feel about her life now
A. Mixed. B. Regretful. C. Content. D. Relieved.
27. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph
A. She has become tired of her daily routine.
B. She misses the connections she had before.
C. She regrets leaving her family behind.
D. She has lost interest in the beauty of nature.

Do you remember reading an article called Kouji in middle school In it, a kouji performer, specializing in vocal mimicry, creates lifelike performances of various sounds using just his mouth, with the stage having only a table, a block of wood on it, a chair and a fan.
Originating from ancient China, the art of kouji involves skillfully using movements of the lips, teeth, throat, and tongue to produce sounds that mimic birds, animals, and various other noises in the world. It is often combined with story-telling during performances. In 2011, kouji was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage.
According to the IHChina website, traditional kouji is becoming endangered due to the rapid development of electronic audio. However, Cao Quyang, a 28-year-old inheritor, has found a solution by combining kouji with beatboxing, achieving a perfect combination of traditional and modern performance art.
Cao started learning kouji in 2016 when she wanted to bring something original to her B -box performance. "As a former percussionis (打击乐器演奏者), I'm sensitive to rhythm, so I integrated the kouji techniques I learned into beatboxing and created my own unique style in my area of expertise." she added. For example, when mimicking environmental sounds like wind, Cao can use her mouth to weave beatboxing into it, making the sound of the wind stronger and more rhythmic." The addition of beatboxing brings more musical expression to kouji performances, making the stories more vivid and appealing to today's young audiences." said Cao.
In addition to kouji and beatboxing, Cao can also play the Chinese drums, drum set, and piano, as well as DJ. "Innovation is not difficult for me. To me, innovation is simply expressing something that people don't understand in a way they do," said Cao, "As long as it combines tradition and modernity and allows the public to appreciate the beauty of tradition through innovation, I'm willing to do it."
28. What does the article tell us about kouji
A. It involves five parts of the human mouth.
B. It originated in the Western Han dynasty.
C. It usually mixes sound mimicry with storytelling.
D. It received national heritage status in 2001.
29. How has Cao Quyang contributed to the preservation of kouji
A. By developing a new form of art.
B. By employing it to compose pop songs.
C. By including digital effects in her performances.
D. By combining it with percussion instruments.
30. What aspect of kouji does Cao enhance with beatboxing
A. Visual appeal. B. Emotional depth.
C. Mimicry accuracy. D. Rhythmic complexity.
31. What does Cao think of innovation
A. It presents challenges and risks of failure. B. It is a means of beautifying the old.
C. It is a way to bridge understanding. D. It serves as a form of self-expression.
D
The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative (有生产力的) artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts.
Sora is not the first of its kind. Google, Meta and Runway ML are among the other companies to have developed similar technology. But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers.
A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion, or prompt, on X. The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked, gnocchi (意大利团子), as well as the setting — an old Italian country kitchen. The prompt said: “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi, hosted by a grandmother — a social media influencer, set in a rustic (土气的) Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described.
The tool is not yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects.
The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press, the source of this report, to license its text news archive (档案). OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public.
The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially (对立地) testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”
32. What makes Sora impressive
A. Its artificial intelligence history.
B. Its extraordinary video quality.
C. Its ethical and societal influence.
D. Its written commands and prompts.
33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6
A. The company’s current challenge.
B. The company’s advanced technology.
C. The company’s problems in management.
D. The company’s efforts for Sora’s improvement.
34. What can we infer from the text
A. Some disagreements over Sora have arisen.
B. Sora is the first text-to-video generator in history.
C. OpenAI CEO Altman wrote a prompt as an example.
D. All the details about how Sora was built have been shared.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards Sora
A. Pessimistic. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Cautious.

Sweating may not be your favorite thing to do, but it is necessary. ____36____. Here are four research-backed reasons why this salt-based fluid can benefit you.
Sweating is good for your skin.
Sweat is known to cool the skin, bringing toxins (毒素) to the surface and giving the skin a healthy glow. Research shows that sweating can increase and maintain skin hydration. However, leaving sweat on the skin for too long can cause skin diseases such as acne. ____37____.
Sweating makes you happy.
When you’re hot, your heart beats faster to cool the body, releasing endorphins that cause feelings of joy. ____38____. In a 2015 study, people who smelled “happy sweat” displayed tendencies associated with happiness. However, those exposed to fear-induced sweat showed characteristics of terror.
____39____
When sitting in a sauna (桑拿浴室), your body temperature rises, so your body works overtime to cool itself down by sweating. And you’ll be better off for it. A 20-year Finnish study found that people who sweated it out regularly in a sauna had a lower rate of sudden cardiac (心脏的) deaths.
____40____
If you sweat heavily during exercise, that’s usually a positive sign. Athletes tend to sweat sooner and more than inactive people. Their bodies have learned to cool down more efficiently during physical activity. A PLOSONE study supports this, showing that long-distance runners not only got sweatier sooner, but also activated more sweat glands, resulting in more sweat than their non-active counterparts.
A. Sweating supports your heart
B.Sweating a lot means that you’re fit
C. Sweat is the stuff that floods out when our body temperature rises
D. Your sweaty self can also make those around you feel happier too
E. Sweating contributes to a decrease in blood pressure to some extent
F. So, it’s essential to wash your face and body after sweating
G. It’s a natural bodily function that helps to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating

One morning, I saw a particularly good deal in a supermarket’s advertisement: $5 for ten pounds of frozen chicken. If I drove over to the store for just one item, the gas cost would cut into the saving. So I carried an old black bag on my back and went to the store by bike. As I rode the two miles to the store, the temperature seemed to be going up rapidly.
When I entered the store, I headed straight to the chicken counter. I picked a package weighing slightly over ten pounds, and then checked out. After getting outside, I put it into my backpack and thought to myself, “It’s only two miles. If I ride fast enough, I will be home in no time.”
I got on my bike and rode as fast as I could. I felt the hot air hit my face and it was really hot. A few minutes later, except for my back which was close to the cold chicken, the rest of me was beginning to sweat. As I approached a crossroad, the traffic light turned yellow. So I stopped. Suddenly, I heard a woman screaming.
“Maybe there is an accident,” I thought and looked around me.
After the light turned green, the crowds around me still didn’t move. And what I saw was a small crowd of people coming towards me! I heard someone yelling, “I’m a nurse. How can I help you ”
I looked around again and saw no accident. Moving faster, this crowd of folks started talking loudly in my direction.
“Are you all right ” said the nurse. “I am here to help!”
“Who are you talking to ” I asked, feeling completely confused.
“Can I help you ” the nurse insisted.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw traffic piling up around me and I was really annoyed!
“No!” I told the nurse. “I’m fine!”
“But you are bleeding all over! Why don’t you get off your bike and let me check ” said the nurse.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I got off my bike, unwillingly.

【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Brown bin”部分关键句“for goods that can be changed naturally by bacteria into substances that don’t harm the environment, like leftovers, fruit and vegetables”（对于那些可以被细菌自然转化为对环境无害的物质的物品，如吃剩的食物、水果和蔬菜）可知，棕色垃圾桶用来回收那些可以被细菌自然转化为对环境无害的物质的物品，落叶可以被细菌可以被细菌自然转化为对环境无害的物质的物品，从而推知，落叶应被归入棕色垃圾桶。故选B项。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Other items such as clothes, shoes, and oversized rubbish and furniture are advised to be donated or sold.”（建议捐赠或出售衣服、鞋子、超大垃圾和家具等其他物品。）可知，在德国，建议将衣服、鞋子、超大垃圾和家具等物品捐赠或出售，从而推知，德国人可能会把二手运动鞋捐赠给那些有需要的人。故选C项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“There’s this thing called Pfand in Germany, a certain part of the price for a bottled drink that you get back if you send back the bottle to certified shops.”（在德国有一种叫做Pfand的东西，它是瓶装饮料价格的一部分，如果你把瓶子送回经过认证的商店，你会得到它。）可知，Pfand是瓶装饮料价格的一部分，如果你把饮料瓶子送回经过认证的商店，就会得到这部分钱，这是一种鼓励消费者退回瓶子的方法，由此可推断出，Pfand的功能是鼓励消费者退回瓶子。故选D项。
B
I grew up on a dairy farm. The particular life location to which I got assigned—“stuck” is a better word if you’ve ever been there — was a small family-owned-and-operated outfit.
I remember the Christmas when our main hired hand dropped out of the work rotation. Sixteen and the oldest of the kids left at home, I was called on to fill in. Halfway through the first day, I realized I had never noticed exactly how much that worker did. For five days I either milked or slept, fed calves (牛犊) or slept.

Nor do I have the opportunity to dance with my sister in the dairy barn, work side-by-side with my dad and hear the old stories.

And I can go months without petting an animal or watching in amazement at their keen sense of the environment around them. Instead, I have neighbors within shouting distance but who feel like they live a planet away.
Eighteen years I lived my life on that dairy, not really knowing there were people who didn’t get up and go out and work together to get the same overwhelming tasks done day after day. Sometimes I wish I had never found out there were.

Do you remember reading an article called Kouji in middle school In it, a kouji performer, specializing in vocal mimicry, creates lifelike performances of various sounds using just his mouth, with the stage having only a table, a block of wood on it, a chair and a fan.
Originating from ancient China, the art of kouji involves skillfully using movements of the lips, teeth, throat, and tongue to produce sounds that mimic birds, animals, and various other noises in the world. It is often combined with story-telling during performances. In 2011, kouji was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage.
According to the IHChina website, traditional kouji is becoming endangered due to the rapid development of electronic audio. However, Cao Quyang, a 28-year-old inheritor, has found a solution by combining kouji with beatboxing, achieving a perfect combination of traditional and modern performance art.
Cao started learning kouji in 2016 when she wanted to bring something original to her B -box performance. "As a former percussionis (打击乐器演奏者), I'm sensitive to rhythm, so I integrated the kouji techniques I learned into beatboxing and created my own unique style in my area of expertise." she added. For example, when mimicking environmental sounds like wind, Cao can use her mouth to weave beatboxing into it, making the sound of the wind stronger and more rhythmic." The addition of beatboxing brings more musical expression to kouji performances, making the stories more vivid and appealing to today's young audiences." said Cao.
In addition to kouji and beatboxing, Cao can also play the Chinese drums, drum set, and piano, as well as DJ. "Innovation is not difficult for me. To me, innovation is simply expressing something that people don't understand in a way they do," said Cao, "As long as it combines tradition and modernity and allows the public to appreciate the beauty of tradition through innovation, I'm willing to do it."

The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative (有生产力的) artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts.
Sora is not the first of its kind. Google, Meta and Runway ML are among the other companies to have developed similar technology. But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers.
A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion, or prompt, on X. The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked, gnocchi (意大利团子), as well as the setting — an old Italian country kitchen. The prompt said: “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi, hosted by a grandmother — a social media influencer, set in a rustic (土气的) Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described.
The tool is not yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects.
The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press, the source of this report, to license its text news archive (档案). OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public.
The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially (对立地) testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”
32. What makes Sora impressive
A. Its artificial intelligence history.
B. Its extraordinary video quality.
C. Its ethical and societal influence.
D. Its written commands and prompts.
33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6
A. The company’s current challenge.
B. The company’s advanced technology.
C. The company’s problems in management.
D. The company’s efforts for Sora’s improvement.
34. What can we infer from the text
A. Some disagreements over Sora have arisen.
B. Sora is the first text-to-video generator in history.
C. OpenAI CEO Altman wrote a prompt as an example.
D. All the details about how Sora was built have been shared.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards Sora
A. Pessimistic. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Cautious.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了OpenAI新推出了一款文本到视频生成器Sora，文章介绍了其特点以及其争议。

【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第六段“The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially(对立地)testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”(该公司补充说，它正在与“红队成员”合作开发Sora。红队成员试图发现问题并提出有用的建议。该公司表示：“我们与红队合作，他们将对该模式进行对立的测试。我们还在构建一些工具来帮助检测误导性内容，比如一个检测分类器，它可以判断视频是由Sora生成的。”)可知，第六段主要介绍了公司为Sora的改进所做的努力，与红队合作，并构建一些工具来帮助检测其误导性的内容，故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects.( OpenAI提供的关于它是如何构建的信息有限。该公司也没有说明用于训练Sora的图像和视频来源。与此同时，视频结果引发了人们对可能产生的道德和社会影响的担忧。)”可知，视频结果引发了人们对可能产生的道德和社会影响的担忧，由此可推知，社会上就Sora出现了一些分歧，故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative(有生产力的)artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts.(ChatGPT的制造商最近宣布了其向生成人工智能的下一步行动。基于旧金山的OpenAI新的文本到视频生成器Sora是一种基于书面命令(称为提示)即时制作短视频的工具。)”可知，主要介绍了OpenAI新推出了一款文本到视频生成器 Sora，全文作者客观的在陈述Sora的特点、社会对其的争议以及该公司为了Sora的改进所做的努力，故可推知作者对Sora的态度是中立的，故选C。

Sweating may not be your favorite thing to do, but it is necessary. ____36____. Here are four research-backed reasons why this salt-based fluid can benefit you.
·Sweating is good for your skin.
Sweat is known to cool the skin, bringing toxins (毒素) to the surface and giving the skin a healthy glow. Research shows that sweating can increase and maintain skin hydration. However, leaving sweat on the skin for too long can cause skin diseases such as acne. ____37____.
·Sweating makes you happy.
When you’re hot, your heart beats faster to cool the body, releasing endorphins that cause feelings of joy. ____38____. In a 2015 study, people who smelled “happy sweat” displayed tendencies associated with happiness. However, those exposed to fear-induced sweat showed characteristics of terror.
·____39____
When sitting in a sauna (桑拿浴室), your body temperature rises, so your body works overtime to cool itself down by sweating. And you’ll be better off for it. A 20-year Finnish study found that people who sweated it out regularly in a sauna had a lower rate of sudden cardiac (心脏的) deaths.
·____40____
If you sweat heavily during exercise, that’s usually a positive sign. Athletes tend to sweat sooner and more than inactive people. Their bodies have learned to cool down more efficiently during physical activity. A PLOSONE study supports this, showing that long-distance runners not only got sweatier sooner, but also activated more sweat glands, resulting in more sweat than their non-active counterparts.
A. Sweating supports your heart
B. Sweating a lot means that you’re fit
C. Sweat is the stuff that floods out when our body temperature rises
D. Your sweaty self can also make those around you feel happier too
E. Sweating contributes to a decrease in blood pressure to some extent
F. So, it’s essential to wash your face and body after sweating

【38题详解】
根据本段小标题“Sweating makes you happy.(出汗让你快乐)”和空后一句“In a 2015 study, people who smelled “happy sweat” displayed tendencies associated with happiness.(在2015年的一项研究中，闻到‘快乐汗水’的人表现出与幸福相关的倾向)”可知，本段主要讲出汗让人感到快乐，闻到“快乐汗水”的人也会快乐，D项“汗流浃背的自己也会让你周围的人感到更快乐”符合语境，故选D。

67. 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。
One morning, I saw a particularly good deal in a supermarket’s advertisement: $5 for ten pounds of frozen chicken. If I drove over to the store for just one item, the gas cost would cut into the saving. So I carried an old black bag on my back and went to the store by bike. As I rode the two miles to the store, the temperature seemed to be going up rapidly.
When I entered the store, I headed straight to the chicken counter. I picked a package weighing slightly over ten pounds, and then checked out. After getting outside, I put it into my backpack and thought to myself, “It’s only two miles. If I ride fast enough, I will be home in no time.”
I got on my bike and rode as fast as I could. I felt the hot air hit my face and it was really hot. A few minutes later, except for my back which was close to the cold chicken, the rest of me was beginning to sweat. As I approached a crossroad, the traffic light turned yellow. So I stopped. Suddenly, I heard a woman screaming.
“Maybe there is an accident,” I thought and looked around me.
After the light turned green, the crowds around me still didn’t move. And what I saw was a small crowd of people coming towards me! I heard someone yelling, “I’m a nurse. How can I help you ”
I looked around again and saw no accident. Moving faster, this crowd of folks started talking loudly in my direction.
“Are you all right ” said the nurse. “I am here to help!”
“Who are you talking to ” I asked, feeling completely confused.
“Can I help you ” the nurse insisted.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw traffic piling up around me and I was really annoyed!
“No!” I told the nurse. “I’m fine!”
“But you are bleeding all over! Why don’t you get off your bike and let me check ” said the nurse.

【答案】
I got off my bike, unwillingly. One man volunteered to hold my bike and a young lady helped me get my backpack off. Two old women rushed to support me on both sides. They kept asking me whether I had had an accident. I stood there, studying these strange strangers, and then looked down at my backpack, which was now sitting on the roadside. To my surprise, I saw a red ring around my backpack on the ground!
I realized my back and my legs might also have “blood” all over them. Holding up my laughter, I pointed to my backpack. Not knowing what to expect, one man went to the bag and opened it very cautiously. When the frightened group of people saw that it was a mixture of water and blood from the chicken that had run through my backpack and all over me, their concern suddenly turned into amusement. They all laughed out of relief and I suddenly felt an unexpected moment of community on the unpleasantly hot summer day.
