The Elephant Project is a purpose-driven company which tries to protect and recover the world’s elephant population.
This all-female organization began when founder Kristian McKean saw the inhumane(不人道的)treatment of elephants in Thailand, and again back in the United States with circus animals. Determined to find a way to support elephant causes, Kristina used her product development background to design adorable, huggable elephant dolls she named Kiki and Tembo.
Children and many adults are drawn to the stuffed animals. These elephants come with fun educational materials to spread the word about the dangerous world elephants live in.
Meanwhile, the company’s mission is clear and supported by its donations to organizations that care for elephants in need. In fact, 100% of the profit from each sail of Kiki and Tembo goes to supplies and aid for abused and injured elephants through The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya and The Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. The Elephant Project also contributes to efforts to end illegal elephant hunting.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed concerns that growing Chinese competition is a threat to the local automotive industry, while welcoming Chinese carmakers to Europe’s largest auto show, IAA Mobility 2023, in Munich.
The six-day event officially opened on Tuesday. Scholz said increased competition from China was good for the German auto industry. “Fair competition stimulates business. It is in the interest of consumers,” he said, “as Chinese electric vehicle companies show eased several new fully electric models, out shining some German automotive giants.” Competition should stimulate us on, not scare us.
“The countries that have achieved great prosperity in the course of globalization, the workers there, have no less right and no less claim to the opportunities of modernity than we do,” Scholz said of China.
“In the 1980s, it was said (that) Japanese cars would overrun the market. Twenty years later, it was cars made in South Korea and now supposedly Chinese electric cars,” Scholz, who wore a black eye patch due to an injury from a jogging accident on Saturday, said.
The German chancellor also expressed confidence in his country’s strengths. “There is no question about the international competitiveness of Germany as a car country,” he said, adding that “Germany is still the linchpin of the auto industry and will remain so.”
Jun Jin, an auto industry expert, said the international market provides great opportunities for Chinese EV (电动汽车) makers, given their strength in technology and costs. “But this does not simply mean repeating their China success story; they need to succeed by adopting local practices,” Jun told China Daily.
Chinese companies, he said, still count on exports and have a long way to go before manufacturing vehicles overseas, arranging global supply chains and improving services for local customers.
28. How did Scholz view increased competition from China in auto industry
A. Scholz thought that Chinese competition is not a threat to the local auto industry.
B. Scholz was not concerned about the competition from China in auto industry
C. Scholz thought increased competition was harmful to the German auto industry.
D. Scholz thought that consumers of auto industry would be interested in the competition.
29. What can we infer from Scholz’s words in the third paragraph
A. Developing countries has no right to achieve modernity.
B. China has the equal right and claim to seek modernity.
C. The workers in German has more opportunities than others.
D. The course of globalization will favor developed countries more.
30. What does the underlined word in the sixth paragraph mean
A. serious problem B. noticeable weakness C. angry consumer D. key role
31. What can we conclude from Jun Jin’s words
A. Chinese EV makers has no advantage in technology in international market.
B. Chinese EV makers should adopt local practices in international market.
C. Chinese companies still have a long way to go in manufacturing vehicles.
D. Chinese companies is good at arranging global supply chains and services.

【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed concerns that growing Chinese competition is a threat to the local automotive industry, while welcoming Chinese carmakers to Europe’s largest auto show, IAA Mobility 2023, in Munich.(德国总理奥拉夫·肖尔茨(Olaf Scholz)驳斥了有关中国日益激烈竞争对当地汽车行业构成威胁的担忧,同时欢迎中国汽车制造商参加在慕尼黑举行的欧洲最大的汽车展IAA Mobility 2023)”可推知,肖尔茨认为,来自中国的竞争不会对当地汽车行业构成威胁。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““The countries that have achieved great prosperity in the course of globalization, the workers there, have no less right and no less claim to the opportunities of modernity than we do,” Scholz said of China.(肖尔茨在谈到中国时说:“那些在全球化进程中取得巨大繁荣的国家,那里的工人,与我们一样有权利和要求享受现代化带来的机遇。”)”可知,肖尔茨认为中国人民和欧洲人民享有不少于欧洲的现代化的权利,推知肖尔茨认为中国有追求现代化的平等权利和要求。故选B项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“There is no question about the international competitiveness of Germany as a car country(德国作为一个汽车国家的国际竞争力是毫无疑问的)”可知,肖尔茨对德国汽车业的竞争力有信心,推知下文的linchpin是“关键”之意和D项意思相近。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Jun Jin, an auto industry expert, said the international market provides great opportunities for Chinese EV (电动汽车) makers, given their strength in technology and costs. “But this does not simply mean repeating their China success story; they need to succeed by adopting local practices,” Jun told China Daily.(汽车行业专家Jun Jin表示,考虑到中国电动汽车制造商在技术和成本方面的优势,国际市场为他们提供了巨大的机会。“但这并不意味着简单地重复他们在中国的成功故事;他们需要通过采用当地做法来取得成功,”Jun在接受《中国日报》采访时表示)”可知,从Jun Jin的话中我们可以得出中国电动汽车制造商应该在国际市场上采取本土化做法。故选B项。

Are you really boring Or is it just in your head The first crucial step, which you absolutely mustn’t skip, is to question this idea that you are boring, check it rationally (理性地), and try to determine if indeed it’s true.
You see, of all the people I’ve coached over the last 7+ years who believed they’re boring, getting to know them and their conversation style, for well over half of them I’ve concluded that this belief was just in their head. It was a false, limiting belief; and they came to see that too. So, statistically, there is at least a 50% chance that you’re not really boring. Think about this, very seriously.
If indeed you discover that the idea you’re boring is mostly a limiting belief then it’s important to begin ignoring it and change your behavior accordingly. Try to open up, talk to people more and be more social, reminding yourself it’s okay to do so.
More important thought is to understand that the limiting belief you’re boring reflects a lack of confidence, and work on fixing this deeper issue. Only by learning to believe in yourself and gaining self-confidence will you be able to fully and permanently dismiss the perception that you are boring.
Now, confidence building is no invaluable process. It involves certain steps and actions, which if done correctly, lead to visible progress at a rapid pace. I lack the space here to go deeper into this topic, but I have created a special presentation in which I discuss it in detail.
Go here to watch the presentation and learn my step-by-step process for improving yourself-confidence and social confidence, which has been used successfully by hundreds of people before you. And make sure you watch it all the way.
32. Why does the author ask two questions in the first paragraph
A. To criticize the phenomenon. B. To introduce the topic interestingly.
C. To ask readers to answer them. D. To show the author’s questions.
33. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us
A. When we feel boring, then we are really boring.
B. The belief that we are boring just doesn’t exist.
C. Over a half people who are boring are not really boring
D. The statistics show that people actually don’t feel boring.
34. Why do we hold the limiting belief that we are boring
A. Because we have plenty of time and have nothing else to do.
B. Because we lack confidence and deeper work on the issue.
C. Because we don’t work on fixing this deeper issue.
D. Because we should dismiss the perception of being boring.
35. What is the presentation mentioned in the last paragraph about
A. Certain steps and actions to improve one’s self and social confidence.
B. Some step-by-step process to lead to quick progress in learning.
C. Some step-by-step process to lead to success in the future.
D. Tips to help bored people to relieve their stress in lack of confidence.

【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Are you really boring Or is it just in your head The first crucial step, which you absolutely mustn’t skip, is to question this idea that you are boring, check it rationally (理性地), and try to determine if indeed it’s true.(你真的很无聊吗?还是只是你的幻觉?关键的第一步,你绝对不能跳过,那就是质疑你很无聊的想法,理性地检查一下,并试着确定它是否真的是真的)”结合下文对人们是否真的感到无聊的陈述可推知,作者在第一段问了两个问题是为了有趣地介绍这个话题。故选B。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“You see, of all the people I’ve coached over the last 7+ years who believed they’re boring, getting to know them and their conversation style, for well over half of them I’ve concluded that this belief was just in their head. It was a false, limiting belief; and they came to see that too. So, statistically, there is at least a 50% chance that you’re not really boring. Think about this, very seriously.(你看,在过去7年多的时间里,我指导过的所有认为自己很无聊的人,在了解他们和他们的谈话风格之后,我得出的结论是,超过一半的人都认为自己很无聊。这是一种错误的、局限的信念;他们也明白了。所以,从统计学上来说,至少有50%的可能性你不是真的无聊。认真想想这个问题)”可知,第二段主要告诉我们半数以上无聊的人并不是真的无聊。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“More important thought is to understand that the limiting belief you’re boring reflects a lack of confidence, and work on fixing this deeper issue.(更重要的是要明白,你无聊的限制性信念反映了缺乏自信,并努力解决这个更深层次的问题)”可知,我们会认为自己很无聊是因为我们在这个问题上缺乏信心以及更深入解决这个问题。故选B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Go here to watch the presentation and learn my step-by-step process for improving yourself-confidence and social confidence, which has been used successfully by hundreds of people before you. (去这里观看我的演讲,学习我的一步一步提高你的自信和社交自信的方法,在你之前已经有数百人成功地使用过了)”可知,最后一段提到的演讲主要关于提高自我和社会自信的某些步骤和行动。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者就如何获得人生智慧给出了建议,帮助读者更好地面对充满挑战的世界以及生活中的困境。
【36题详解】
根据前文“This world is filled with challenges, conflicts, and polarization(两极分化). In order to survive in it, we need to be wise. (这个世界充满了挑战、冲突和两极分化。为了在其中生存,我们需要变得聪明。)”以及后文“Let me tell you this; wisdom provides us with perspective when we need it, it calms us down in terrible situations. (让我告诉你,当我们需要的时候,智慧会给我们提供视角,在糟糕的情况下,智慧会让我们冷静下来。)可知,生活充满挑战,我们需要变得聪明才能生存下去,智慧对每个人来说都是十分重要的,所以C项“Why is wisdom crucial in this modern world (为什么智慧在现代社会如此重要 )”起到承上启下的作用,引出下文介绍智慧的重要性的具体例子。符合语境,故选C。
【37题详解】
本空位于段首,是本段的中心句,根据后文“There are a lot of ways to become wiser. But you have to remember, this is a journey and not a destination. Here are some strategies that you can use to get wiser.(有很多方法可以让你变得更聪明。但你要记住,这是一段旅程,而不是终点。这里有一些策略可以让你变得更聪明。)”可知,此处介绍了有多种方法可以让你变得聪明,下文是关于策略的解释,因此推断A项“How can you get wiser ( 你怎样才能变得更聪明 )”符合语境,承接上文聪明很重要,那么需要如何才能变得更聪明呢。故选A。
【38题详解】
上文“Variety is the spice(调味品) of if e but experiencing new opportunities is also how you gain wisdom. You will never grow from being in your comfort zone which is why you need to get out of it.(变化是生活的调味剂,但体验新的机会也是你获得智慧的方式。你永远无法从你的舒适区中成长,这就是为什么你需要走出舒适区。)”说明变化是正常的,体验新的机会是获得智慧的方式,不走出舒适区是无法成长的,D项“This is the only way you will gain wisdom and become better.( 这是你获得智慧和变得更好的唯一途径。)”再次强调走出舒适区是变得更加有智慧的途径,符合语境,故选D。
【39题详解】
设空处为段落标题。根据下文“Sometimes we have preference and they help us out but we need to set them aside most of the time. We need to be receptive to different views, and this will open up new pathways for us. Always develop a sense of curiosity, and observe the world from different angles, it will always help you out. Never base your perspective on the most popular opinion or what is the most comfortable for you.(有时我们有偏好,它们会帮助我们,但大多数时候我们需要把它们放在一边。我们需要接受不同的观点,这将为我们开辟新的道路。始终培养好奇心,从不同的角度观察世界,它总是会帮助你走出困境。)”可知,本段建议接受不同的观点,才能开辟新的道路,从不同的角度看问题,对你有帮助,因此推断B项“Open yourself to diverse perspectives.(接受不同的观点)”为段落小标题,总领下文。故选B。
【40题详解】
上文“Never base your perspective on the most popular opinion or what is the most comfortable for you.(永远不要把你的观点建立在最流行的观点或对你来说最舒服的观点上)”说明不要总是选择最流行,感觉最舒服的管观点,下文“If you are humble, then you will always get to experience something new.( 如果你是谦虚的,那么你总能体验到新的东西。)”说明要谦虚接受新的事物,因此推断此处讲述要接受新想法,要谦虚,因此推断E项“Train your mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas.(训练你的大脑成为一个不评判的思想空间。)”符合语境,说明要乐于接受新想法,新思想。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了中国江苏省镇江市(古名京口)的地理景象和三座著名的山峰——金山、北固山和焦山,描绘了山峰的位置、高度和风景特色。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它位于长江和京杭大运河的黄金交汇处,是一个具有重要战略意义的地方。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词is,所以locate的用非谓语形式,动词locate和句子的主语it之间是被动关系,所以应该用过去分词作状语。故填Located。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它位于长江和京杭大运河的黄金交汇处,是一个具有重要战略意义的地方。空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,strategy的形容词形式是strategic。故填strategic。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:长江上游淤积了大量泥沙,在长江中逐渐形成了一个小岛。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前句提到的事,在从句中作主语,用which引导。故填which。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意:这里有三座美丽的山——金山、北固山和焦山,与长江紧密相连,被称为京口三山。空处修饰空后的动词,应该用副词修饰作状语。故填closely。
【60题详解】
考查状语从句连接词。句意:虽然据说金山在长江上,但由于河道向北移动,金山现在离长江有一段距离了。分析句子结构可知,空处引导状语从句,根据句意,表达“虽然,尽管”之意,应用although或者though或者while引导让步状语从句,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Although或者Though或者While。
【61题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:北固山,比金山高10米,就在长江边上。根据空后的than可知,空处应填形容词比较级。故填higher。
【62题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:从这里,西可看到金山,东可看到焦山。分析句子结构可知,see作本句谓语,和主语Jinshan Mountain之间是被动关系,用被动语态,空前是情态动词,后接动词原形。故填be seen。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:这条浩浩荡荡的河流环绕着山脚而流。分析句子结构可知,本句是倒装句,flow作本句谓语,描述的是客观事实,用一般现在时,主语是the mighty river,为第三人称单数。故填flows。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:焦山是三座山中最高的一座,海拔70.7米,面积38公顷,位于长江流域,四面环水。此处是固定搭配:with an altitude of意为“海拔高度为”。故填with。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:青山被碧波环抱,像一块碧玉漂在江面上。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词looks,所以float用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语jade之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式作定语。故填floating。

The Elephant Project is a purpose-driven company which tries to protect and recover the world’s elephant population.
This all-female organization began when founder Kristian McKean saw the inhumane(不人道)treatment of elephants in Thailand, and again back in the United States with circus animals. Determined to find a way to support elephant causes, Kristina used her product development background to design adorable, huggable elephant dolls she named Kiki and Tembo.

Meanwhile, the company’s mission is clear and supported by its donations to organizations that care for elephants in need.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed concerns that growing Chinese competition is a threat to the local automotive industry, while welcoming Chinese carmakers to Europe’s largest auto show, IAA Mobility 2023, in Munich.
The six-day event officially opened on Tuesday. Scholz said increased competition from China was good for the German auto industry. “Fair competition stimulates business. It is in the interest of consumers,” he said, “as Chinese electric vehicle companies show eased several new fully electric models, out shining some German automotive giants.” Competition should stimulate us on, not scare us.
“The countries that have achieved great prosperity in the course of globalization, the workers there, have no less right and no less claim to the opportunities of modernity than we do,” Scholz said of China.
“In the 1980s, it was said (that) Japanese cars would overrun the market. Twenty years later, it was cars made in South Korea and now supposedly Chinese electric cars,” Scholz, who wore a black eye patch due to an injury from a jogging accident on Saturday, said.
The German chancellor also expressed confidence in his country’s strengths. “There is no question about the international competitiveness of Germany as a car country,” he said, adding that “Germany is still the linchpin of the auto industry and will remain so.”
Jun Jin, an auto industry expert, said the international market provides great opportunities for Chinese EV (电动汽车) makers, given their strength in technology and costs. “But this does not simply mean repeating their China success story; they need to succeed by adopting local practices,” Jun told China Daily.
Chinese companies, he said, still count on exports and have a long way to go before manufacturing vehicles overseas, arranging global supply chains and improving services for local customers.
28. How did Scholz view increased competition from China in auto industry

B. Scholz was not concerned about the competition from China in auto industry
C. Scholz thought increased competition was harmful to the German auto industry.

B. China has the equal right and claim to seek modernity.
C. The workers in German has more opportunities than others.
D. The course of globalization will favor developed countries more.
30. What does the underlined word in the sixth paragraph mean

Are you really boring Or is it just in your head The first crucial step, which you absolutely mustn’t skip, is to question this idea that you are boring, check it rationally (理性地), and try to determine if indeed it’s true.
You see, of all the people I’ve coached over the last 7+ years who believed they’re boring, getting to know them and their conversation style, for well over half of them I’ve concluded that this belief was just in their head. It was a false, limiting belief; and they came to see that too. So, statistically, there is at least a 50% chance that you’re not really boring. Think about this, very seriously.
If indeed you discover that the idea you’re boring is mostly a limiting belief, then it’s important to begin ignoring it and change your behavior accordingly. Try to open up, talk to people more and be more social, reminding yourself it’s okay to do so.
More important thought is to understand that the limiting belief you’re boring reflects a lack of confidence, and work on fixing this deeper issue. Only by learning to believe in yourself and gaining self-confidence will you be able to fully and permanently dismiss the perception that you are boring.
Now, confidence building is no invaluable process. It involves certain steps and actions, which if done correctly, lead to visible progress at a rapid pace. I lack the space here to go deeper into this topic, but I have created a special presentation in which I discuss it in detail.
Go here to watch the presentation and learn my step-by-step process for improving yourself-confidence and social confidence, which has been used successfully by hundreds of people before you. And make sure you watch it all the way.
32. Why does the author ask two questions in the first paragraph
A. To criticize the phenomenon. B. To introduce the topic interestingly.
C. To ask readers to answer them. D. To show the author’s questions.
33. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us
A. When we feel boring, then we are really boring.
B. The belief that we are boring just doesn’t exist.
C. Over a half people who are boring are not really boring
D. The statistics show that people actually don’t feel boring.
34. Why do we hold the limiting belief that we are boring
A. Because we have plenty of time and have nothing else to do.
B. Because we lack confidence and deeper work on the issue.
C. Because we don’t work on fixing this deeper issue.
D. Because we should dismiss the perception of being boring.
35. What is the presentation mentioned in the last paragraph about
A. Certain steps and actions to improve one’s self and social confidence.
B. Some step-by-step process to lead to quick progress in learning.
C. Some step-by-step process to lead to success in the future.
D. Tips to help bored people to relieve their stress in lack of confidence.
