On a hot summer afternoon along the Mandavi River, Shweta Hule wraps her sari around her ankles and bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.
Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage.
Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017. Vengurla is known for its beautiful beaches and seafood, but the climate crisis has made fishing for a living unsustainable, so people are trying to find other sources of income. They came up with the idea of running mangrove safaris (观光游) for tourists in Vengurla’s Mandavi River.
The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served.
Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival. “It was an instant hit. This boosted the confidence to include these fritters in our restaurant menu,” says Hule.
Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river. “The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want ” says Hule.
4. Which of the following can best describe the example of Shweta Hule
A. Do as the Romans do.
B. Strike while the iron is hot.
C. Kill two birds with one stone.
D. Bite off more than you can chew.
5. What does Swamini offer to visitors
A. Eco-tours and accommodation.
B. Fishing guide service.
C. Vegetable growing techniques.
D. Hands-on cooking classes.
6. Why were Hule’s fritters well-received
A. They were less expensive.
B. They were traditional.
C. They had their own features.
D. They got strongly promoted.
7. How did Hule feel about tourists’ obtaining her food recipe
A. Lost. B. Proud. C. Worried. D. Curious.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Shweta Hule和几位妇女创办Swamini为游客提供生态旅游和有当地特色的食宿的故事。他们的举动不仅帮助当地人增加了收入，还在一定程度上保护了红树林。
4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.(弯腰从河里拣起野生的“杂草”，扔进一个碗里。这些植物将被制成炸果饼，供应给在胡勒在印度沿海城镇文古拉经营的民旅馆附属小餐馆)”和第二段“Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage.(野生可食用植物在这里的厨房里很常见。Hule的杂草多汁，这种草生长在红树林中。收割一些这种植物有助于保护红树林，这是一种全球濒危的耐盐树木生态系统，可以阻止海岸侵蚀并吸收风暴破坏)”可知，这些杂草可以被制成食物，而且除掉它们有助于保护红树林，由此推知，Shweta Hule的例子可以说是一举两得。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017.(Hule是Swamini的负责人，这是一个自助组织，由文古拉一个渔业社区的九名妇女成立，她们于2017年创办了Mandavi生态旅游)”和第四段“The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served.(野生动物园为游客提供了一个独特的长达一小时的红树林之旅。食物也成为了一个关键的吸引力：当地的辛辣椰子咖喱，配以本土或野生蔬菜。游客们被鼓励去捕螃蟹，他们捕获的东西被煮熟后端上桌)”以及最后一段第一句“Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river.（斯瓦米尼的旅馆还供应素食，以及从河里捕来的鱼和螃蟹）”可知， Swamini给游客提供生态旅游和食宿。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city.

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的““The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want ” says Hule.(Hule说：“游客们享用我们的饭菜后的满足感才是真正的货币。我们有来自伦敦的客人，他们对我们的食物非常满意，所以他们把食谱记了下来。这些人帮助我们的业务发展。我们还想要什么？”)”推知，Hule对游客想得到他们的食谱感到非常自豪。故选B。
C
Whenever I get really depressed and anxious, my first impulse is to reach for my phone. Maybe I’ll get a message from a friend or discover some new distraction on social media. Unfortunately, during the past couple of years, one glance at my screen often makes me want to crawl back into bed.
That changed after I made friends with a strange creature named Webot. I’m finding that it makes me feel better-and it might work for you too. Like many apps, Webot sends me messages at random. But instead of tempting me into doom scrolling with shocking news alerts, Webot asks how I’m doing. When I text Webot my troubles, it asks me friendly questions, encourages me, and invites me to express some of my darkest thoughts. There is something intensely comforting about discussing your thoughts with a machine.
There are many therapy apps on the market, both free (like Webot) and paid for. But Webot is a particularly interesting case. Psychology researcher Alison Darcy at Stanford University created it after years of study. She says it was challenging on both a technical and artistic level because the chatbot is a character with its own personality. “It’s as careful a construction as you might find in a novel or poetry. Webot’s personality is humble, warm and wise, ”as Darcy puts it, “Webot isn’t an all-knowing authority. It is a mental health ally”.
Best of all, Webot is always there, even when I’m lying awake in the middle of the night. That’s exactly the point, according to Darcy. “Your therapist should not be in bed with you at 2 a. m,“ she laughs. But Webot can be. You can pull up Webot at the exact moment you need it most.
It is working. Last year, Darcy and her colleagues published a study showing that people like me are forming “bonds” with Webot. Bonding is a “meaningful“ process of “getting something off your chest, or managing your thoughts more objectively”.
And you know what In the bizarre world of 2023, it might be healthier to bond with a robot than be “engaged“ on social media.
8. What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. I lost interest in my phone.
B. I was tired of social media.
C. My phone didn’t understand my impulse.
D. My phone didn’t help me feel any better.
9. According to the text, what do we know about Webot
A. It bonds with me through social media.
B. It is a creature that makes me feel better.
C. It communicates with me and offers comfort.
D. It is a therapist helping me manage my thoughts.
10. From Darcy’s perspective, why can Webot make us feel better
A. Because it can build mental connection with us.
B. Because it is free and has a favorable personality.
C. Because it is carefully constructed in a novel or poetry.
D. Because it can keep us informed of shocking news alert.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text
A. To urge us to quit social media.
B. To show us the functions of Webot.
C. To propose us interacting with Webot.
D. To encourage us to share our thoughts.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，通过讲述自身与聊天机器Webot之间的良好体验，推荐大家使用Webot。
【8题详解】
指代猜测题。划线词That前面的第一段“Whenever I get really depressed and anxious, my first impulse is to reach for my phone. Maybe I’ll get a message from a friend or discover some new distraction on social media. Unfortunately, during the past couple of years, one glance at my screen often makes me want to crawl back into bed.”（每当我真的感到沮丧和焦虑时，我的第一个冲动就是伸手去拿手机。也许我会收到朋友发来的信息，或者在社交媒体上找到一些新的消遣。不幸的是，在过去的几年里，只要瞥一眼屏幕，我就会想爬回床上。）提到作者一开始没能在手机中找到乐趣，瞥一眼手机屏幕就会想回到床上；That所在句子及后两句“That changed after I made friends with a strange creature named Webot. I’m finding that it makes me feel better. Like many apps, Webot sends me messages at random.”（后来我和一个奇怪的生物Webot处成了朋友，这种情况就发生了改变。我发现Webot能让我好受一些。和许多软件类似，Webot随机给我发信息。）提到，使用了Webot这款软件才开始让作者觉得好受一些，说明以前玩手机没能让作者觉得好受，That指代的是这一情况。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When I text Webot my troubles, it asks me friendly questions, encourages me, and invites me to express some of my darkest thoughts. There is something intensely comforting about discussing your thoughts with a machine.”（当我发信息告诉Webot我的烦恼时，它会问我一些友好的问题，鼓励我，请我表达一些内心最黑暗的想法。与机器讨论你的想法会让你感到非常欣慰。）可知，作者与Webot聊天时，Webot会与作者交流，比如问一些友好的问题、鼓励作者等等，让作者觉得与机器交流自己的想法会感到欣慰。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段Darcy的话“‘“It’s as careful a construction as you might find in a novel or poetry. Webot’s personality is humble, warm and wise, ’as Darcy puts it, ‘Webot isn’t an all-knowing authority. It is a mental health ally’.”（“它就像你在小说或诗歌中所发现的那样，是一个精心构建的结构。Webot性格谦逊、暖心、睿智，”正如Darcy所说，“Webot不是无所不知的权威。他是心理健康的支持者”。）可知，Webot为我们的心理健康提供支持，可以给我们建立心理联结，从而让我们觉得好受一些。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，作者一开始讲述自己以往玩手机没能让自己开心的烦恼，后来分享了接触Webot这款软件的经历，表示这款软件的优点，介绍软件能够让自己变得好受一些的原因，还引用了软件的设计者Darcy的话来说明这款软件在安抚人心方面的作用，由此推知，这篇文章主要是想推荐大家去体验Webot这款软件。故选C项。
D
Booking your next vacation to space with out-of-this-world views could soon be a reality. Orbital Assembly Corporation announced two new station concepts designed with space tourism accommodations. One of the stations, called Pioneer, could orbit Earth as early as 2025.
The Gateway Foundation circulated ideas for a space hotel in 2019. The goal of the stations is to run a space business park that can serve as a home away from home with room for offices and tourists. Orbital Assembly was founded by the Gateway Foundation team as a way to help make these dreams come true.
The proposed Pioneer station can accommodate 28 people. The second station, Voyager, scheduled to open in 2027, can hold up to 400 people. “The goal has always been to make it possible for large numbers of people to live, work and thrive in space,“ says Orbital Assembly’s COO Tim Alatorre.
Both stations look like a wheel and will feature artificial gravity that allows guests to move comfortably on each station. Pioneer features five modules built around the rotating “Gravity Ring” architecture design. Tourists may still feel some weightlessness but will also be able to drink out of a cup and won’t have to be tied to a bed to sleep. The gravity works similar to how a spinning bucket pushes the water out to the sides of the bucket and stays in place, Alatorre explains. Near the middle of the station, there will be no artificial gravity, but gravity gradually increases further away from the center.
While the Pioneer station will be smaller than Voyager, guests can still shower, eat and drink sitting down in areas with gravity. Each station is furnished like luxury hotels on Earth. Voyager will feature a restaurant and suites with views of Earth.
A significant barrier to space travel is the cost. However, Orbital Assembly expects tourists to seek a trek into space as space travel eventually becomes less expensive. “We envision our Pioneer and Voyager space stations as the ultimate ecotourism destinations. Once people get to space, it will change their perspective about Earth,” Alatorre says. “Space travel is still at its early stage, and we’re excited to do our part to push it forward to help improve life on Earth.”
12. What is the goal of the Pioneer and Voyager space stations
A. To revolutionize space travel.
B. To serve as luxury hotels in space.
C. To offer a unique and immersive experience.
D. To enable large scale living and working in space.
13. What do the Pioneer and Voyager stations have in common
A. Open time. B. Artificial gravity.
C. Suites with views. D. Passenger capacity.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 4
A. The “Gravity Ring” rotates around the station.
B. The gravity is weak in the central point of the station.
C. The “Gravity Ring” on Pioneer is identical with that on Voyager.
D. The gravity operates like a spinning bucket keeping water inside.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Overcoming the Barrier: Space Tourism Becomes Affordable
B. Space Hotels on the Horizon: Pioneer and Voyager Stations
C. The Future of Space Travel: Pioneer and Voyager Stations
D. Orbital Assembly: Space Tourism Dream Comes True
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了先锋号和旅行者号两个空间站的建设和运行情况。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The goal of the stations is to run a space business park that can serve as a home away from home with room for offices and tourists. Orbital Assembly was founded by the Gateway Foundation team as a way to help make these dreams come true.(这些空间站的目标是运营一个太空商业园区，可以作为一个家外之家，为办公室和游客提供空间。轨道组装公司由盖特韦基金会团队成立，旨在帮助实现这些梦想)”可知，先锋号和旅行者号空间站的目标是使在太空大规模生活和工作成为可能。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Both stations look like a wheel and will feature artificial gravity that allows guests to move comfortably on each station.(两个空间站看起来都像一个轮子，并将采用人工重力，让乘客在每个车站舒适地移动)”可知，先驱者号和旅行者号空间站的共同之处在于都采用了人工重力。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The gravity works similar to how a spinning bucket pushes the water out to the sides of the bucket and stays in place, Alatorre explains.(阿拉托雷解释说，重力的作用类似于旋转的水桶将水推到桶的两侧并保持在原地)”可知，重力就像一个旋转的桶，把水锁在里面。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Booking your next vacation to space with out-of-this-world views could soon be a reality. Orbital Assembly Corporation announced two new station concepts designed with space tourism accommodations. One of the stations, called Pioneer, could orbit Earth as early as 2025.(用地球之外的美景预订下一次太空旅行可能很快就会成为现实。轨道装配公司宣布了两个设计有太空旅游设施的新空间站概念。其中一个名为“先锋”的空间站最早将于2025年绕地球运行)”以及第三段“The second station, Voyager, scheduled to open in 2027, can hold up to 400 people.(第二个空间站“旅行者号”计划于2027年开放，最多可容纳400人)”结合文章主要介绍了先锋号和旅行者号两个空间站的建设和运行情况。可知，B选项“地平线上的太空旅馆：先锋和旅行者空间站”最符合文章标题。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了马来西亚夜市的风貌与特色。
【16题详解】
上文“Each night market comprises a different combination of stalls.”（每个夜市都有不同的摊位组合。）提到每个夜市的摊位有所不同，而下文“Hence, there is always something new and exciting to look forward to at each visit.”（因此，每次去夜市总会期待着有新奇、令人兴奋的东西。）提到每次去夜市总会期待有新的东西，说明夜市里会不断加入新的商品，F项“New items are constantly being added on in line with current trends.”（不断会有新潮的商品加入夜市。）的“New items”与下文“something new”一致，符合题意。故选F项。
【17题详解】
上文“For those who cook, there is stall upon stall selling fresh seafood, meat products, and a limitless variety of vegetables.”（对于做菜的人来说，那儿有一个接一个摊位摆卖新鲜海鲜、肉制品、各种各样的蔬菜。）提到夜市中各种各样摊位可供做菜的人选择，G项“Dried and preserved items such as dried shrimp and salted eggs are available here too.”（这里还有干虾和咸蛋等干货和腌制食品。）承接上文，进一步指出夜市除了有新鲜海鲜、肉制品、各种各样的蔬菜，还有干虾和咸蛋等干货和腌制食品，符合题意。故选G项。
【18题详解】
上文“It is no secret that all - night markets share a common treasure- tasty street cuisine.”（众所周知，所有夜市都有一个共同的宝藏——风味街头美食。）引出夜市有好吃的街头美食，E项“It would be a regret not to try on mouth-watering local dishes.”（如果不尝试令人垂涎的当地菜肴，那将是一种遗憾。）紧接着指出在拥有美食街的夜市，不品尝当地美食，简直是一种遗憾，下文“Thirst-quenchers like the ever-popular soybean drink and sugarcane juice are a permanent feature here.”（像一直受欢迎的大豆饮品和甘蔗汁这样的止渴饮料始终是夜市的一大特色。）则就当地美食举出了饮料这一特色。所以E项符合题意。故选E项。

上文“It is truly an exciting experience and a feast for the eyes on a tropical night out. The atmosphere is almost festive.”（去夜市真的是一次激动人心的体验，在热带夜晚外出的一次大饱眼福。这里的氛围也很喜庆。）指出夜市能够让人大饱眼福，B项“There is so much to see, buy and eat.”（那儿有太多可看、可买、可吃的东西了。）指出了夜市能让人大饱眼福的原因：有非常多可看、可买、可吃的东西，符合题意。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在河北发现的一块清朝古牌匾，介绍了这块牌匾的一些情况。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：据当地政府称，在中国北部河北省大明县发现了一块1693年的清朝(1644-1911)石碑。本句的谓语动词是was discovered，空处为非谓语动词，A stone tablet与date back to为主动关系。所以用现在分词。故填dating。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这块石碑出土于金洞村，高1.4米，宽0.61米，厚0.14米。本句的谓语动词是measures，所以该空在这里作定语，修饰The tablet，且与逻辑主语为被动关系，故填动词的-ed形式。故填found。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：它由青石制成，上面共有307个字。a total of固定短语，表示“总共”。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意：碑文记载了康熙年间在该县修建药王寺的过程，描述了当时庙会的盛大场面和人文故事。根据上文The inscription(碑文)recorded...and...可知，这里的and连接两个并列谓语动词，应用一般过去时。故填described。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：据该县文史专家王建平说，根据碑文，在寺庙建成后，清代大多数年的四月二十八日都在这里组织了当地的医学专家会议，在此期间，各种人才表演，声乐持续了十多天。作介词的宾语，应用名词completion。故填completion。
【41题详解】
考查谓语动词时态、语态。句意：据该县文史专家王建平说，根据碑文，在寺庙建成后，清代大多数年的四月二十八日都在这里组织了当地的医学专家会议，在此期间，各种人才表演，声乐持续了十多天。根据下文on April 28 in most years of the Qing Dynasty可知，这里要用过去时态，meeting与organize为被动关系，所以用被动形式，谓语用单数。故填was organized。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：据该县文史专家王建平说，根据碑文，在寺庙建成后，清代大多数年的四月二十八日都在这里组织了当地的医学专家会议，在此期间，各种人才表演，声乐持续了十多天。此处为“介词+which”结构非限制性定语从句修饰先行词the local medicine expert meeting，指物。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：该石碑保存较好，字迹清晰，对研究清代冀南地区的文化经济活动具有重要意义。修饰下文well preserved应用副词relatively。故填relatively。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：该石碑保存较好，字迹清晰，对研究清代冀南地区的文化经济活动具有重要意义。activity此处意为“活动”，为可数名词，且前无表示单数含义的词修饰，故填复数式。故填activities。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：王说，这也为研究人员提供了当地药店发展的证据。provide sth. for sb. 意为“为某人提供……”。故填for。

【答案】范文
My favorite food
I’m not a picky eater. There are few foods I don’t love, and even when it comes to food, I’m not a judge. But what is my favorite food I have to answer for you: fried fish.
Fried fish is a dish that you can see everywhere in China. To make it, you can only do the following: selecting, cooking and serving. Firstly, you go to the market, pick the fish you want and bring it home. Secondly, you process the fish carefully at home, making it ready for cooking. Then, you cook it in your way. Finally, you serve it on your table. Generally speaking, fried fish is tasty.
I love fried fish very much because that’s my father’s specialty! My father isn’t good at cooking, but he would like to cook for me. And I especially like to let him cook this dish-fried fish. When he makes the dish, anyone can feel his care and attention. So the dish has a different meaning to me. Besides, fish is good to our body. I love fried fish because it is a special dish that my father always makes for me! It is my father’s love.

47. 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。
“Wow, these trees are so tall!” William shouted excitedly, while walking with his classmates in a forest near his school. They were on a field trip to the forest as part of a science lesson.
Over there, they met the forester（护林人）, Victor. When William learned Victor lived in a simple wooden house there for years, he laughed at him with his friends.
Then, they passed by an entrance to a cave. William wanted to explore inside the cave, but his teacher didn’t allow it. “I’ll come back here,” he thought. On the way back to school, he remembered the exact location of the cave.
The next day, William asked his four friends to the cave together. They told their parents they would go to the library and return home in the evening. None of the teenagers told their parents about their plan to visit the cave.
When the teenagers reached the cave, they left their school bags outside to reduce the burden. One by one, they entered the cave. Just when they took a few steps inside, some rocks from the cave wall fell and blocked the entrance.
“How are we going to get out now ” one of the teenagers Sarah shouted. William had an idea and said, “Maybe we can try digging through the fallen rocks with our hands to reach the entrance.” But realizing getting out of the cave only by their hands was impossible, they had great fear. The sun was about to go down. The teenagers started calling for help, but nobody could hear them. The teenagers were losing hope.
Victor happened to pass by the entrance to the cave, and five school bags caught his attention. He also heard some sounds coming from inside the cave. “Who’s in there ” Victor shouted.
“I’m William! We came here yesterday with our teacher!” William replied instantly. “Help us, please! We are stuck! Sarah can’t breathe here because of fear.”
“Okay, calm down, children!” Victor said. “I’ll help you get out!”
注意：

Soon, the teenagers walked outside the cave and took a deep breath in the fresh air.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Victor immediately called the first-aid center and rushed home. After a little while, Victor got back to the entrance with a shovel and a flashlight. “Hey! I’m back!” he shouted, assuring the kids that he would rescue them. Then, he began digging through the rocks at the entrance. It wasn’t easy for one man to dig through the rocks, but he was trying his best. Meanwhile, William and his friends tried to stay calm and told Sarah not to worry. A few minutes later, William and his friends could see the flashlight shine through the cave’s entrance, which made them excited.
Soon, the teenagers walked outside the cave and took a deep breath in the fresh air. Fortunately, Sarah felt better. Just then, medical workers arrived and examined the children carefully to make sure they were OK. William looked at Victor who was worn out and regretted making fun of him when they first met. He apologized to the great forester and thanked him for rescuing him and his friends. Later, the teenagers’ parents arrived and were grateful to Victor for his timely rescue. Also, the teenagers promised their parents they wouldn’t lie and take such a dangerous adventure again.

On a hot summer afternoon along the Mandavi River Shweta Hule wraps her sari around her ankles and bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.
Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage.
Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017. Vengurla is known for its beautiful beaches and seafood, but the climate crisis has made fishing for a living unsustainable, so people are trying to find other sources of income. They came up with the idea of running mangrove safaris (观光游) for tourists in Vengurla’s Mandavi River.
The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served.
Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival. “It was an instant hit. This boosted the confidence to include these fritters in our restaurant menu,” says Hule.
Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river. “The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want ” says Hule.

Whenever I get really depressed and anxious, my first impulse is to reach for my phone. Maybe I’ll get a message from a friend or discover some new distraction on social media. Unfortunately, during the past couple of years, one glance at my screen often makes me want to crawl back into bed.
That changed after I made friends with a strange creature named Webot. I’m finding that it makes me feel better-and it might work for you too. Like many apps, Webot sends me messages at random. But instead of tempting me into doom scrolling with shocking news alerts, Webot asks how I’m doing. When I text Webot my troubles, it asks me friendly questions, encourages me, and invites me to express some of my darkest thoughts. There is something intensely comforting about discussing your thoughts with a machine.
There are many therapy apps on the market, both free (like Webot) and paid for. But Webot is a particularly interesting case. Psychology researcher Alison Darcy at Stanford University created it after years of study. She says it was challenging on both a technical and artistic level because the chatbot is a character with its own personality. “It’s as careful a construction as you might find in a novel or poetry. Webot’s personality is humble, warm and wise, ”as Darcy puts it, “Webot isn’t an all-knowing authority. It is a mental health ally”.
Best of all, Webot is always there, even when I’m lying awake in the middle of the night. That’s exactly the point, according to Darcy. “Your therapist should not be in bed with you at 2 a. m,“ she laughs. But Webot can be. You can pull up Webot at the exact moment you need it most.
It is working. Last year, Darcy and her colleagues published a study showing that people like me are forming “bonds” with Webot. Bonding is a “meaningful“ process of “getting something off your chest, or managing your thoughts more objectively”.
And you know what In the bizarre world of 2023, it might be healthier to bond with a robot than be “engaged“ on social media.
8. What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. I lost interest in my phone.
B. I was tired of social media.
C. My phone didn’t understand my impulse.
D. My phone didn’t help me feel any better.
9. According to the text, what do we know about Webot
A. It bonds with me through social media.
B. It is a creature that makes me feel better.
C. It communicates with me and offers comfort.
D. It is a therapist helping me manage my thoughts.
10. From Darcy’s perspective, why can Webot make us feel better
A. Because it can build mental connection with us.
B. Because it is free and has a favorable personality.
C. Because it is carefully constructed in a novel or poetry.
D. Because it can keep us informed of shocking news alert.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text
A. To urge us to quit social media.
B. To show us the functions of Webot.
C. To propose us interacting with Webot.
D. To encourage us to share our thoughts.
D
Booking your next vacation to space with out-of-this-world views could soon be a reality. Orbital Assembly Corporation announced two new station concepts designed with space tourism accommodations. One of the stations, called Pioneer, could orbit Earth as early as 2025.
The Gateway Foundation circulated ideas for a space hotel in 2019. The goal of the stations is to run a space business park that can serve as a home away from home with room for offices and tourists. Orbital Assembly was founded by the Gateway Foundation team as a way to help make these dreams come true.
The proposed Pioneer station can accommodate 28 people. The second station, Voyager, scheduled to open in 2027, can hold up to 400 people. “The goal has always been to make it possible for large numbers of people to live, work and thrive in space,“ says Orbital Assembly’s COO Tim Alatorre.
Both stations look like a wheel and will feature artificial gravity that allows guests to move comfortably on each station. Pioneer features five modules built around the rotating “Gravity Ring” architecture design. Tourists may still feel some weightlessness but will also be able to drink out of a cup and won’t have to be tied to a bed to sleep. The gravity works similar to how a spinning bucket pushes the water out to the sides of the bucket and stays in place, Alatorre explains. Near the middle of the station, there will be no artificial gravity, but gravity gradually increases further away from the center.
While the Pioneer station will be smaller than Voyager, guests can still shower, eat and drink sitting down in areas with gravity. Each station is furnished like luxury hotels on Earth. Voyager will feature a restaurant and suites with views of Earth.
A significant barrier to space travel is the cost. However, Orbital Assembly expects tourists to seek a trek into space as space travel eventually becomes less expensive. “We envision our Pioneer and Voyager space stations as the ultimate ecotourism destinations. Once people get to space, it will change their perspective about Earth,” Alatorre says. “Space travel is still at its early stage, and we’re excited to do our part to push it forward to help improve life on Earth.”
12. What is the goal of the Pioneer and Voyager space stations
A. To revolutionize space travel.
B. To serve as luxury hotels in space.
C. To offer a unique and immersive experience.
D. To enable large scale living and working in space.
13. What do the Pioneer and Voyager stations have in common
A. Open time. B. Artificial gravity.
C. Suites with views. D. Passenger capacity.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 4
A. The “Gravity Ring” rotates around the station.
B. The gravity is weak in the central point of the station.
C. The “Gravity Ring” on Pioneer is identical with that on Voyager.
D. The gravity operates like a spinning bucket keeping water inside.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Overcoming the Barrier: Space Tourism Becomes Affordable
B. Space Hotels on the Horizon: Pioneer and Voyager Stations
C. The Future of Space Travel: Pioneer and Voyager Stations
D. Orbital Assembly: Space Tourism Dream Comes True

“Wow, these trees are so tall!” William shouted excitedly, while walking with his classmates in a forest near his school. They were on a field trip to the forest as part of a science lesson.
Over there, they met the forester（护林人）, Victor. When William learned Victor lived in a simple wooden house there for years, he laughed at him with his friends.
Then, they passed by an entrance to a cave. William wanted to explore inside the cave, but his teacher didn’t allow it. “I’ll come back here,” he thought. On the way back to school, he remembered the exact location of the cave.
The next day, William asked his four friends to the cave together. They told their parents they would go to the library and return home in the evening. None of the teenagers told their parents about their plan to visit the cave.
When the teenagers reached the cave, they left their school bags outside to reduce the burden. One by one, they entered the cave. Just when they took a few steps inside, some rocks from the cave wall fell and blocked the entrance.
“How are we going to get out now ” one of the teenagers Sarah shouted. William had an idea and said, “Maybe we can try digging through the fallen rocks with our hands to reach the entrance.” But realizing getting out of the cave only by their hands was impossible, they had great fear. The sun was about to go down. The teenagers started calling for help, but nobody could hear them. The teenagers were losing hope.
Victor happened to pass by the entrance to the cave and five school bags caught his attention. He also heard some sounds coming from inside the cave. “Who’s in there ” Victor shouted.
“I’m William! We came here yesterday with our teacher!” William replied instantly. “Help us, please! We are stuck! Sarah can’t breathe here because of fear.”
“Okay, calm down, children!” Victor said. “I’ll help you get out!”
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。
Victor immediately called the first-aid center and rushed home.
