Kakadu National Park, covering almost 20,000 square kilometers, holds within its boundaries an impressive ecosystem and amazing ancient rock art. You can travel in a boat along with wildlife, examine 25,000-year-old rock paintings, swim in pools and hike through ancient sandstone country.
Ubirr
Layers of rock-art paintings, in various styles and from various centuries, create charming quietness. These are the paintings of mimi spirits: energetic figures who, it’s believed, were the first of the Creation Ancestors to paint on rock.

If you want to explore more, take the Lookout Walk, which affords incredible views; when there’s water, the pool at the top is Kakadu’ s best one.
Twin Falls
Twin Falls runs all year round (no swimming), and half the fun is getting here, including a little boat trip (adult/child $15/free, 7:30 am-5 pm, last boat 4 pm) and an over-the-water boardwalk. Wildlife here includes freshwater crocodiles as well as birds such as rainbow pittas and emerald doves.
Anbangbang Gallery
The Anbangbang Gallery, featuring vivid dreaming characters repainted in the 1960s, has an excellent exhibition that contains one of the most extraordinary images anywhere in the Kakadu area: stay around the dangerous Nabulwinjbulwinj, a dangerous spirit who likes to eat females after hitting them over the head with a yаm（山药）.

While some 13-year-olds are cleaning the house for pocket money, Nyla Hayes has earned millions from doing work. The teenager is now a multimillionaire, making her fortune through her artwork, which she sells as NFTs（不可替代的代币）online.
Speaking with Today, her mom Latoya Hayes said when her daughter was at 9, she bought her a smartphone. “I could see how passionate she was about her art and I just thought alike, if I could support her in any way. That’s exactly what I’m going to do,” said Hayes.
At first, Nyla would draw pictures of her family on her phone and only show them to her loved ones. She told Today that she was nervous that people wouldn’ t like them or thought they were odd.
Gradually, the teen has developed a unique style for her art — what she calls “long neckies”. The long neckies are always pictures of people, mostly women, drawn with an elongated（伸长的）neck. The idea started from a childhood love of brontosauruses（雷龙）. “I didn’t know what to call it,” she explained, speaking of the dinosaurs. “So I just thought of them as ‘long neckies’.” “At first I just wanted to put two things that I love together, and there was a brontosaurus and women,” Nyla explained to Today. “I wanted to show how beautiful and strong women were, and I thought of the brontosaurus as that as well.” Nyla added, “I love drawing women from all around the world because I really like different cultures and different backgrounds.”
“Honestly, when I first heard about NFTs, I honestly didn’t know about this. But I’ve been wanting to put my art out for a while, so it was a good chance to do it,” she told Today. Little did she know that the long neckies would be a hit. “I just thought it would be cool to put my art out there and show people that,” she said. “I was never expecting it to blow up like this.”
24. What did Nyla Hayes’ mother expect her to do with a smartphone
A. Try her art. B. Find her own passion.
C. Keep in touch with others. D. Learn from great artists.
25. What can we learn about Nyla Hayes’ early drawings on the phone
A. She decided to sell them.
B. She thought very highly of them.
C. She wasn’t quite confident about them.
D. She didn’t want to share them with anyone.
26. Why did Nyla Hayes produce “long neckies”
A. She tried to show the beauty of women.
B. She was inspired by two things she loved.
C. She wanted to combine different cultures.
D. She desired to follow her childhood dream.
27. What is people’s attitude towards Nyla Hayes’ artwork
A. Doubtful. B. Concerned. C. Interested. D. Indifferent.
C
There’s a popular local saying that links orange carrots to the Dutch royal family. In the late 1500s, the Dutch were ruled by Spain. Then came William, Prince of Orange, who was largely credited as the country’s founding father. The republic was later abandoned in favor of a home-grown monarchy（君主制）, which still exists today.
According to the story, Dutch farmers at that time began to develop and plant orange carrots as a mark of respect for William’s House of Orange. The carrots then grew in popularity and spread around the world to become the vegetable’s standard color. This is only an interesting story, but not true.
“Though the development and stabilization of the orange carrot root does appear to date from around that period in the Netherlands,” said John Stolarczyk, an expert at the World Carrot Museum, “there is no documentary evidence that the Dutch invented orange carrots to honor their royal family.”
Wild carrots started off as either white or pale yellow but changed to purple and yellow when people first raised the vegetable almost 5,000 years ago. These carrots were later divided into two main classes: the Asiatic group and the Western group. Yellow carrots in the Western group probably became more orange, which farmers then selectively planted. “There are documents in Spain that show the growing of orange carrots as far back as the 14th century”, Stolarczyk said.
Flash forward a couple of centuries and the Dutch were one of the main agricultural forces in Europe in the 16th century. This know-how allowed them to plant orange carrots in large numbers, which seemed to grow really well in the Netherlands’ mild, wet weather. “The orange variety grew very well in its climates and environments, better than purple and yellow carrots, and was more productive, stable, and reliable,” Stolarczyk said. Dutch businessmen then spread the orange produce across the continent.
“Orange carrots were later used by the Netherlands to strengthen the nation’s national color,” said Stolarczyk, “which could explain where the strange connection between William of Orange and the carrot comes from. But it seems that the carrot came first and the independent country second”.
28. Why did Dutch farmers plant orange carrots according to the story
A. To spread the vegetable’s standard color.
B. To show respect for the Dutch royal family.
C. To experiment on different kinds of carrots.
D. To celebrate the independence of their country.
29. What can we know about orange carrots in Paragraph 3
A. They go through a long and complicated process.
B. They are the main agricultural crop in the Netherlands.
C. They win great popularity among the Dutch royal family.
D. They may have nothing to do with the Dutch royal family.
30. What benefited the growth of orange carrots in the Netherlands
A. The insufficient supply of food there.
B. The encouragement from the Dutch government.
C. The suitable and typical climate conditions there.
D. The promotion of orange carrots outside the country.
31. What might be the best title for the text
A. Why are Dutch carrots orange
B. How to have higher output of carrots
C. How to make full use of orange carrots
D. Why do Dutch people like eating carrots
D
In the animal kingdom, killer whales（虎鲸）are social stars: they travel in varied family groups, care for grandchildren, and even imitate human speech. Now, scientists are adding one more behavior to the list: forming fast friendships. A new study shows killer whales can rival animals such as chimpanzees and macaques (a kind of monkey), and even humans when it comes to the kind of “social touch” that indicates strong bonds.
Some ocean animals maintain social structures — including male dolphins that learn the “names” of their close allies（盟友）. But there is little data about wild killer whales. That’s where drone technology came in. Michael Weiss, a behavioral ecologist, teamed up with his colleagues to launch drones, flying them 30 to 120 meters above a group of killer whales. That was high enough not to trouble the whales, marking the first time drones have been used to study friendly physical contact in whales.
The researchers recorded over 800 instances of physical contact between individuals. Those included hugs, back-to-back and nose-to-nose touches between pairs of whales. Other whales playfully threw young whales into the air, letting them fall into the water. Besides, the drone images revealed clear preferences among individuals, usually for one “best friend” of the same sex and age. Take J49 and J51 — two distantly related young males aged 9 and 6 — for instance. “Every time you see a group of whales, those two are right there interacting with each other,” Weiss says.
The young led most of these interactions, rather than the older females or males. Older males in particular were less important. “The young individuals really seem to be the glue（胶水）holding the groups together,” Weiss says. As individuals age, this gradual loss of “centrality” is known in many social mammals, including humans. That finding is “especially appealing” to Stacey Tecot, who wasn’t involved in the study. “Scientists have long observed this social aging trend in animals, but there are still many unanswered questions,” she says. That’s certainly on the researchers’ radar. “We’re already gathering new data, with more advanced equipment,” says Weiss.
32. What does the underlined word “rival” in Paragraph l probably mean
A. Benefit from. B. Be equal to. C. Depend on. D. Be fond of.
33. What is new about Weiss’ research
A. The research method. B. The variety of species.
C. The size of the research team. D. The time spent on the research.
34. What did Weiss find about J49 and J51
A. They have a stable friendship.
B. Their interactions are more complicated.
C. Their communicating ways change frequently.
D. They prefer playing with young female whales.
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. More researchers will be involved in the study.
B. Other scientists take a negative attitude to the research.
C. Researchers will collect more data to study killer whales.
D. Researchers will uncover the social aging trend in animals soon.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A fruit basket is a basket that is filled with a variety of fruits. 36 They are usually tastefully arranged so that they are pleasing to the recipient’s（接受者的）eyes. Fruit baskets can be sent as get-well gifts, thank-you gifts, birthday gifts, or for any other occasion that requires a present to be sent.
37 In that case, a person may choose to send a fruit basket in order to express sympathy and sadness. Sending such a gift to the recipient shows that someone is thinking of him in his time of sadness.
A fruit basket is an ideal idea for those who aren’t sure what to send as a gift. 38
So sending a gift basket is a good way to take the guesswork out of choosing a gift for a hard-to-please person.
For the purpose of saving money, a person may choose to make a fruit basket on his own. 39 First, the gift giver needs to locate an attractive basket large enough to hold a variety of fruits and other goodies. Wicker baskets（柳条篮）can be found in discount stores and craft stores. Pretty ribbons and tissue paper can be found in many stores as well.
Then people can fill it with a variety of fresh fruits from the local supermarket or fruit stand. They can then add chocolates and anything else they think the gift recipient would like. 40
A. Making such a gift isn’t a difficult task.
B. Fruit baskets are traditionally given as gifts.
C. The shipping price will depend on the delivery location.
D. Some family members and friends are difficult to buy for.
E. A fruit basket may be sent when there is sorrow in one’s family.
F. You can order a fruit basket online to send it to your friends or family.
G. It helps to know a bit about the gift recipient’s personality to personalize the fruit basket.

Once upon a time, there was a village where lived a wealthy man named Rama. He was always ready to help the poor and needy. His act of kindness made him so popular that villagers thought of him as the head of the village. And he was overjoyed at villagers’ love for him.
Rama was a well-known businessman who dealt in the export of agricultural products. One year, there was no rain so the whole village was under drought conditions. There was a lack of food and water everywhere. Villagers were dying of hunger. Therefore, they reached out to Rama for help.
Rama, in spite of having a huge loss in business, chose to help the villagers out generously. He started giving out food for free. Every day he would give a part of his wealth and grains to the needy. Soon, Rama ran out of money and food as he gave all his wealth to the needy villagers. Rama tried hard to manage his business, but he failed. Finally, he was left with nothing.
Rama had to live in a rented house. He looked for a job but no one was ready to offer him one because they were in fear of losing their wealth because of his kind nature. After a few days, he left with no money, so he had to leave his rented house. Rama was now homeless. He and his wife decided to leave the village.
Rama and his wife set off for another village. After walking for a while, both were tired so they decided to take a rest under a tree, and after that, they would move further. They ate whatever they had with them and slept under the tree. They were so tired that they slept the whole day and when they woke up it was dark. They started seeking shelter. Soon they saw a luxury mansion（公馆）and went there for help.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
They knocked and a man opened the door. When he heard his words of gratitude, Rama’s eyes were filled with tears.

Dear Vincent,

Seated comfortably in the well-equipped, spacious carriages, passengers can feel its speed, stability and punctuality.
Do experience it in person, and you’ll definitely enjoy the ride.

They knocked and a man opened the door. The moment he saw them, he greeted them with joy. He took them inside and offered them food to eat. Rama was surprised and asked why. The man said, “Years ago, I was dying of hunger when you helped me out. Not only did you give me food, but you also gave me money to restart my business. I can never thank you enough and I am so glad that I am able to repay your generosity today.”
When he heard his words of gratitude, Rama’s eyes were filled with tears. He told that man even though he changed from a wealthy man to a homeless person, never did he regret what he had done. The man asked him not to worry and promised to help. With his generous aid, Rama was able to recreate his business. Slowly and steadily, he became rich again. In spite of so many ups and downs, Rama didn’t forget his social responsibility and he started helping the needy again.

(Text 10)
I live in the center of the city. It rarely rains there, so cars parked in the open parking lot can easily become dusty.
One sunny day, I decided to surprise the owners with a car wash. At first, people would come by and ask me, “Who told you to wash the cars ” or “Who paid you to wash their cars ” I had to explain that I just wanted to do something kind. My reply was often met with an even more confused look.
But as the afternoon went on, some other people that came by understood my goal of the activity. They started helping out with some of the chores. When the day was over, we were all satisfied with the work we have done.
Then I realized that there is special energy created when you choose to think bigger and serve others. Though I didn’t make any money that day,1 have found the greatest gift I’ll ever get.
