physicist who helped research and develop the two atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, two
cities in Japan, during World War II.
Oppenheimer is a great achievement, partly because it ___32___relates that period of history thanks to Nolan's
lifelike filmmaking. Nolan goes deep and long on the ___33____of the bomb, but he doesn't restage the attacks and there
are no documentary images of the dead or cities in ashes.
The story tracks Oppenheimer across decades, starting in the 1920s with him as a young adult and continuing until
his hair___34___. The film touches on his personal and professional milestones, the controversies that ___35 ___him,
and the attacks that nearly ruined him. Besides, the friendships and romances___36 ___ him, yet also troubling, are also
described.
The path of Oppenheimer's life ___ 37___ shifted at Berkeley. He was once only an academic there, but his identity

of his later research on nuclear weapons took place.
Francois Truffaut once wrote that "war films, even those who support peace, even the best, willingly or not, present
wars in a certain___39___ way.”That is why Nolan refuses to show the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing
millions of souls. In the film, you hear that Oppenheimer's famous words ___40___his own mind as the
mushroom cloud rose:“Now I am become Death,the destroyer of worlds."Nolan is actually reminding audience to
reconsider the roles they can play in the world.

II.Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: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.
Paris has long been at the heart of the history of flight. It is where the Montgolfier brothers went up in the first hot-air
balloon in 1783, and where Charles Lindbergh completed the first one-person transatlantic aeroplane journey in 1927.
Next year, if all goes to plan, Paris will witness the birth of another industry ___41___ ,when Volocopter, a German
maker of electric aircraft, launches a flying- taxi service during the Olympic Games. At the Paris Airshow in June,
Volocopter and some of its competitors displayed a new generation of ___42____flying machines designed for urban
transport.
The electrification of aviation(航空)has often been dismissed as a pipe dream, with batteries assumed too heavy a___
43___ for traditional fuel in an airborne vehicle. For longer journeys, that may well be true. Yet upstarts like Volocopter
are betting that electrification can ___44___ a boom in demand for clean and quick air journeys over shorter distances.
The main form of a flying taxi under___45___ , called an electric vertical (垂 直的 )take-off and landing
(eVTOL)aircraft, is expected to carry up to four passengers plus a pilot. Powered by batteries, it is predicted to be both
quiet enough to reduce complaints in crowded cities, and fast:capable of up to 300kph, enough to comfortably ___46___
a car, especially the one stuck in traffic. And optimists believe the absence of traffic in the sky will also make eVTOLs
well-suited to ___47 ___operation. They could prove handy for transporting goods, too. That vision has
inspired___48___predictions. For example,Morgan Stanley, an investment bank, estimates global spending on eVTOLs
could hit S1,000 billion by 2040!
Regardless of the above___49 ___ expectations, challenges remain. One problem is technical certification, which is
turning out to be a(n)___ 50___process as aviation regulators work on an entirely new form of aircraft. Late last year,
due to regulatory delays and some other factors, Joby, a Silicon Valley startup, was forced to ___51 ___its launch by one
more year until 2025. Many have even longer to go. The bigger question is—is the business of flying taxis
___52___practicable EVTOLs currently range in price from S1 million to $4 million.Some believe that their cost may
come down as the industry develops. Brian Yutko of Wisk,a maker backed by Boeing, says that flying-taxi rides will be
accessible to ___ 53___ in the near future. And Joby promises that its fares will be comparable to catching a common
taxi___54___there is an opposite belief that eVTOLs are likely to remain expensive.Some studies suggest the cost could
end up as high as $7 per kilometer, many times a regular taxi fare. That means, even without a pilot, flying taxis may

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.
For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information
given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Every summer, as a child,I spent with my parents the annual family holiday, flying away from our home in the West
Midlands to their birthplace in Ireland.
I enjoyed it, but once,I behaved differently and left home. Package tours and long-distance flights became my idea of
a holiday. I then went and ran into an Englishman who also came of Irish stock, and we both felt the urge to renew our
knowledge of Ireland.
It was important for us to discover something different from our childhood visits. So that's how we came to drive
along the winding St John's Point Peninsula(半岛)in Donegal,part of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, to visit a unique part of
the 20th-century history —the Donegal Corridor.
When anyone drives to the point where the land runs out, he sees giant white stones fixed firmly in green grass
spelling out "EIRE"and “70”,while the Atlantic wind fiercely blows across the headland and the ice-white waves smash
into the rocks below. The meaning behind the stones They date back to the Second World War when St John's Point was
number 70 in a total of 83 Look Out Points(LOPs),observation stations set up and maintained by lreland all around its
coast.
There lies a bit of curious UK-lreland history. Although Ireland was officially neutral during the war, the Battle of
the Atlantic was being fought close to Irish shores, and these LOPs, staffed by local volunteers known as
Coastwatchers, pased on information on activities connected with the sea and weather fronts to London.
At St John's Point, we were standing right under the Donegal Corridor, a long narrow area of airspace in which
lreland ensured safe passage during World War II to planes in the RAF (Royal Air Force)from bases in the UK-governed
North of lreland. The stone markings acted as reference points to aircrews.
Standing on this rough area of land surrounded by the wild and windy ocean brought home to us the conditions in
which the Coastwatchers and aircrews in the RAF cooperated in a shared history.
I revolted against my family tradition that summer, and I fulfilled my aim of discovering something new and
absorbed all Donegal has to offer:empty golden beaches, mysterious ancient stone circles, folk music and crafts,and tasty
food. I had fallen in love with Ireland all over again.
56. What can we learn about the author from paragraphs 1 to 3
A. She met a childhood friend from Ireland that year.
B. She and that Englishman both had Irish ancestors.
C. She took package tours and long-distance flights every year.
D. She explored the Wild Atlantic Way with her family members.
57. The giant white stones were important during WWII because
A. the Battle of the Atlantic took place right close to them
B. weather information from the UK was sent through them
C. they functioned as reference points to aircrews in the RAF
D. they ranked at the top in the 83 LOPs around the lrish coast
58. The expression"revolted against"in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A. worried about B. passed on C. celebrated D. disobeyed
59. Which might be the best title of the passage
A. A Global Journey B. Discovering Undiscovered Donegal
C. Happy Holidays D. Escaping from the West Midlands

(C)
Antibiotics, which can destroy or prevent the growth of bacteria and cure infections, are vial to modem medicine.
Their ability to kill bacteria without harming the patient has saved billions of lives and made surgical procedures much
safer. But after decades of overuse, their powers are fading. Some bacteria have evolved resistance, creating a growing
army of superbugs, against which there is little effective treatment. Antimicrobial(抗菌的)resistance, expected to kill 10
million people a year by 2050 up from around I million in 2019, has been seen as a crisis by many.
It would be unwise to rely on new antibiotics to solve the problem. The rate at which resistance emerges is increasing.
Some new drugs last only two years before bacteria develop resistance. When new antibiotics do arrive, doctors often
store them, using them only reluctantly and for short periods when faced with the most persistent infections. That limits
sales, making new antibiotics an unappealing idea for most drug firms.
Governments have been trying to fix the problem by channeling cash into research in drug firms. That has produced
only limited improvements. But there is a phenomenon worth a look. Microbiologists have known for decades that
disease-causing bacteria can suffer from illnesses of their own. They are supersensitive to attacks by phages, specialised
viruses that infect bacteria and often kill them. Phages are considered a promising alternative to antibiotics.
Using one disease-causing virus to fight bacteria has several advantages. Like antibiotics, phages only tend to choose
particular targets, leaving human cells alone as they infect and destroy bacterial ones. Unlike antibiotics, phages can
evolve just as readily as bacteria can, meaning that even if bacteria do develop resistance, phages may be able to evolve
around them in tum.
That, at least, is the theory. The trouble with phages is that comparatively little is known about them. After the
discovery of penicilin, the first antibiotic, in 1928, they were largely ignored in the West. Given the severity of the
antibiotic-resistance problem, it would be a good idea to find out more about them
The first step is to run more clinical trials. Interest from Western firms is growing. But it is being held back by the
fact that phages are an even less appealing investment than antibiotics. Since they are natural living things, there may be
trouble patenting them, making it hard to recover any investment.
Governments can help fund basic research into phage treatment and clarify the law around exactly what is and is not
patentable. In time they can set up phage banks so as to make production cheaper. And they can spread awareness of the
risks of overusing antibiotics, and the potential benefits of phages.
63. We can learn from paragraphs 1 and 2 that _______.
A. doctors tend to use new antibiotics when the patients ask for them
B. antimicrobial resistance is developing more rapidly than predicted
C. new antibiotics fail to attract drug firms due to limited use of them
D. previous antibiotics are effective in solving modem health problems
64. What is phages' advantage over antibiotics
A. They can increase human cells when fighting bacteria.
B. They are not particular about which cells to infect and kill.
C. They can evolve accordingly when bacteria develop resistance.
D. They are too sensitive to be infected by disease-causing bacteria.
65. According to the passage, the obstacle to phage treatment is that
A. there is little chance of patenting phages in the future
B. governments provide financial support for other research
C. the emergence of superbugs holds back drug firms' interest
D. over-dependence on antibiotics distracts attention from phages
66. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Governments fail to stop the use of antibiotics.
B. Phages could help prevent an antibiotics crisis.
C. Development of antibiotics is limited by phages.

Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can
only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A. Social maskers do not try hard to match other people in pace and tone.
B. Social masking is something we all engage in to some extent.
C. Social maskers are not trying to fox anyone.
D. When we are in natural identification with someone, it happens naturally, and there is very little effort involved.
E.If's adopted by people unable to naturally act in a way considered socially acceptable.
E.That is, it's an ancient part of our evolution to socialize, rather than be anti social or a misfit.
Social Masking
Amanda is always an expert at working the room. She would adopt the manner of the people around her to fit in
while hiding her true personality. This is social masking, the process of hiding your natural way of interacting with
others so you can feel accepted. (67)______ Instead, they are hoping to fit in with everybody else. Social masking is a
set of learned pattern-matching behaviors, movements and actions where you try to be normal to fit in rather than stand
out.
(68) _____ People all wear certain social masks in order to get through some tricky life situations with confidence,
according to Dr. Tarn Quinn-Cirillo. And some experts even think social masking is built in all human beings at a
physical level, adding that something in our brain gives indications of how to essentially stay safe and not stick out.
In a world that often tells us to just be ourselves, you might wonder why we are still dependent on these social
masking behaviors. "Social masking happens because we as a species want to be included,"says Tarn. “It has been a
tribal thing of being together rather than being on our own, from a historical perspective. (69) _______________
There is a huge difference between naturally identifying with someone and consciously social masking.
(70)__________ Social masking, on the other hand, involves a conscious effort to change your personality to suit your
surroundings. It typically involves depressing your natural urges and changing your personal interests to fit the crowd.

IV. Summary Writing
Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than
60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
71. Why Should We Read Literary Classics
Many have grown up on a healthy diet of literary classics. Some literary classics have been inspiring readers in many
ways. In this age of fast-turners, how does investing our time in a timeless literary classic change us for the better
Many literary classics from yesteryear, which got little or no success when published, are considered invaluable. These
books offer a window through which we can experience histories rooted in different cultures. One can always ask,“But
we can do so by reading our history books too. Why do we need to read classics "The simple answer is that these literary
classics are not just a retelling of history. They allow us to have a more individualized experience, where they show us
other ways to look at history.
It is common knowledge that reading as a habit helps us improve our command of the language. But literary classics
have an edge:the enriching writing style is something that sets them apart. Fascinated with the amazing wording and
phrasing, we'll surely pause and wonder about what we read. For instance, when we read Shakespeare, we naturally
begin to consider how to better express our ideas just like his far-reaching "Have more than you show；speak less than
you know."
One more benefit is that after reading classics, we won't see non-classics as just other stories: we'll become interested
in them. Maybe we'll realize that some details we ignored last time are actually worth appreciating, or we'll discover
literary devices that bring a whole new meaning to the story. Literary classics offer us more perspectives to dig deep and
enhance our ability to think and reason, which will inevitably spill over into our reading of other works. We finally fall in
love with non-classics as well.

you will be asked several questions. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be
spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the
best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot... you can travel fast or slow. The movement of your feet gets you where
you need to go. And it also offers you much more! Walking is a simple exercise suitable for almost everyone.
First, walking enhances your physical health. It makes your heart stronger. Studies show regular walking reduces
your chance of heart disease. Walking quickly for 30 minutes a day also helps control high blood pressure. It can reduce
your chance of developing some cancers, too. Want to lose weight You need to burn 600 more calories each day than
you take in and walking is the easiest way. As people age, their brains don’t work as well as before because certain parts
of the brains get smaller in size. Older people who walk six miles or more per week are likely to keep their brains in
better shape.
Walking improves your mental health, too. According to some scientific research, walking in a natural landscape
combining green and blue helps people feel grounded in nature and creates a feeling of connection to the world. That’s

an effective way to fight against depression.
You can make walking part of your day. Instead of parking near your house, park a distance away and walk. Instead
of taking the lift, walk. Make walking a habit, and see how it makes you feel.
(Now listen again please.)
Questions:
11. What is the purpose of the passage
12. How does walking benefit people’s mental health
13. What can we learn about walking from the passage
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
For a great many people, history is a set of facts, a collection of events, a series of things that happened in the past.
For me, history is firstly a way of thinking about and seeing the world.
To make sense of the past, you should learn how to see it on its own terms; in other words, how to figure out the
meaning of strange and unfamiliar things, and how to identify with people who once thought so differently as we do
today. If you learn how to do these things, you begin to develop skills that not only help find the right direction in the
past, but the present as well. Once you can see the things that history teaches you, once you know how to understand the
inner logic of unfamiliar thoughts and behavior, it becomes easier to make sense of the modern world and the diverse
peoples and ideas around you.
It might seem unusual that one of the best ways to explain the present is to study the past, but that is why history
can be so important. When we appreciate that history is not only a body of knowledge, but rather a way of thinking, it
becomes a particularly powerful tool. Not everyone may choose to become a historian. Yet, whatever career you
choose, knowing how to think historically will help.

Dear Mr. James,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Wu Lei, a senior student at Mingqi High School. I appreciate your
initiative in seeking feedback from students to enhance the utilization of the English Reading Room. After careful
consideration, I have identified some reasons for the low usage and propose corresponding suggestions for improvement.
Firstly, one significant factor contributing to the low usage is the lack of awareness among students about the
resources and benefits offered by the English Reading Room. Many students may not be familiar with the diverse
collection of books, magazines, and other educational materials available. To address this issue, I suggest implementing a
comprehensive awareness campaign. This could include regular announcements during morning assemblies, posters
highlighting the room's features, and collaboration with English teachers to incorporate visits to the reading room into
the curriculum.
Secondly, the current layout and ambiance of the reading room may not be conducive to a comfortable and focused
study environment. Some students find it challenging to concentrate due to noise from nearby areas or inadequate
lighting. I recommend conducting a survey to gather feedback on the existing environment and making necessary
adjustments. This may involve installing soundproofing materials, rearranging furniture to create dedicated study zones,
and ensuring proper lighting conditions.
Furthermore, considering the increasing reliance on digital resources, it would be beneficial to introduce an online
platform for the English Reading Room. This platform could host e-books, educational videos, and interactive learning
materials, providing students with convenient access to resources beyond physical books. Additionally, organizing virtual
book clubs or discussion forums could foster a sense of community and encourage collaborative learning among
students.
Lastly, incentives such as recognition for frequent users, special events, or rewards for achieving reading milestones
could motivate students to utilize the reading room more actively. Creating a positive and engaging atmosphere within
the space will undoubtedly contribute to increased attendance.
I believe that by implementing these suggestions, we can enhance the English Reading Room's appeal and
encourage more students to explore the valuable resources it offers. Thank you for your dedication to improving our
school environment.【350 words】
Best regards,
Wu Lei
