It was a common schedule for Andrew Chi-Chih Yao. First he gave a lesson in the morning to the Pilot Computer Science class. With two foreign scholars, he conducted a seminar at 2:00 that afternoon for graduate students. Afterward, Professor Yao exchanged ideas with the visiting Minister of Education and the Minister of Technology, on the development of world-class disciplines in China’s universities. By late that afternoon, Professor Yao was ready to turn to his own research. It was just a very common day for Tsinghua University’s Professor Yao.
Professor Yao, a world-renowned computer scientist, received the A. M. Turing Award in 2000 for his fundamental contributions to the theory of computation. He once worked at such universities as MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and Princeton. He left Princeton in 2004 to become a Tsinghua University Professor of Computer Science.
Professor Yao had a life changing experience when he met Chinese Computer Science scholars in 2002 at an academic meeting in Shanghai. Some Tsinghua graduate students happened to attend his lectures in Shanghai. The following year, Professor Yao accepted an invitation from Tsinghua University to help build the Chair Professor Group of the Department of Computer Science and Technology. In 2004, Yao formally joined Tsinghua University’s Center for Advanced Studies as Full Professor.

Indian scientists plan to add substances to clouds above the capital New Delhi in an effort to produce rain to reduce pollution. The method is called cloud seeding. The process involves adding different chemicals to clouds to cause rain. When rain falls from the sky, water droplets can attach to pollution particles and bring them down to the ground.
New Delhi has been rated the city with the most air pollution in the world. Air quality decreases in the city ahead of winter each year. During this time, cold air can trap many pollutants, including gases from vehicles, industry and agricultural burning.
Scientists expect some clouds over the city around November 20. They hope the clouds will result in heavy rainfall. The project, estimated to cost $120,000 for 100 square kilometers, would involve spraying into clouds a mix of salts that include silver iodine.
“The local government in New Delhi, a city of 20 million people, has already closed all schools and other educational institutions, asked people to work from home, restricted the movement of trucks and other vehicles and ceased all building activities”, said Gufran Beig, head of the Indian government’s air-quality measuring agency SAFAR, adding that “The city needs heavy and widespread rain to wash away the pollutants, and light rain could worsen the situation.”
New Delhi’s pollution has been exacerbated by more than 3,500 fires in Punjab and Haryana, where farmers burned stubble(秸秆) ahead of sowing their winter wheat crop. The smoke has been trapped tightly in the cold winter air, leaving the hospitals filled with children and the elderly.
It is reported that officials in New Delhi now are seeking approval for the project from the Supreme Court. In 2021, a plan to seed clouds over the mountains of New Mexico to increase snowfall was pulled because of the blame that it could poison people and the environment. As a matter of fact, several countries have used this method to produce rain, improve air quality and water crops in times of extreme dryness, including Mexico, the United States, Indonesia and Malaysia.
28. What do you know about cloud seeding
A. A method to let rain fall down together with pollutants.
B. A method designed to generate rain or snow artificially.
C. A method created to absorb substances from clouds.
D. A method used to assess clouds’ quality and quantity.
29. What can we learn from Gufran Beig
A. Most schools have to break up their off line classes.
B. The roads are closed to trucks and other vehicles.
C. It is possible that a light rain will visit the city.
D. A huge pressure from an intense rain will work.
30. What does the underlined word“exacerbated” mean in Paragraph 5
A. Worsened. B. Considered. C. Controlled. D. Restored.
31. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. Cloud seeding has become popular in the world.
B. Cloud seeding is indeed a threat to living creatures.
C. Not all the nations and areas support cloud seeding.
D. It is the second time that India has seeded clouds.
D
Antarctica has not always been a land of ice and snow. Earth’s southernmost continent once was home to rivers and forests full of life. Researchers are using satellites to look deep under the ice in Antarctica, finding a large ancient landscape buried under the continent’s ice sheet. The landscape is located in East Antarctica’s Wilkes Land area bordering the Indian Ocean, covering an area about the size of Belgium. The researchers said the landscape is estimated to have been buried beneath the ice she lf for between 14 million to 34 million years, when Antarctica entered its deep freeze.
“The landscape is like a snapshot of the past,” said Stewart Jamieson, a professor of glaciology at Durham University in England and co-leader of the study published in the journal Nature Communications, “It is difficult to know what this lost world might have looked like before the ice came along, but it was certainly warmer back then. Ancient palm tree pollen has been discovered from Antarctica, not far from our study site.”
Some earlier studies have uncovered ancient landscapes beneath Antarctica’s ice including mountains. But the landscape discovered in the new study was the first of its kind. It is estimated that such an environment would likely have been populated by wildlife. But the area’s fossil record is too incomplete to know which animals may have lived there. The ice above the ancient landscape measures about 2.2 kilometers to 3 kilometers thick.
The researchers said one way to learn more would be to drill through the ice and take a piece of the earth below. This could uncover evidence showing ancient life, as was done with samples taken in Greenland dating back two million years ago.
Right before 34 million years ago, Antarctica’s landscape and wildlife was likely similar to today’s cold temperate rainforests. That includes places like Tasmania, New Zealand and South America’s Patagonia area. When the climate cooled even more, an ice sheet grew which covered the whole continent.
32. How long ago was the landscape not buried at the latest
A. 14 million years ago. B.34 million years ago.
C.20 million years ago. D. 48 million years ago.
33. Why does Jamieson mention the word “snapshot”
A. To show it is hard to explore this lost world.
B. To indicate there exist some vivid remains.
C. To present the influence of terrible weather.
D. To explain the landscape was too warm to live in.
34. Where does the newly-discovered landscape differ from others
A. The landscape contains many hills and mountains.
B. Animal skeletons have been uncovered in the landscape.
C. There seems to have existed a mass of wild animals.
D. The ice above the landscape is too thick to measure.
35. What is the proper title for the passage
A. Antarctica Once Witnessed Kinds of Wildlife.
B. Areas of Rainforests Found in Antarctica.
C. Many Landscapes under Antarctica Discovered.
D. Ancient Landscape Found Buried in Antarctic Ice.

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。
When I was around six years old, we had a neighbor, David, who was restoring an old 40’s Ford in his garage, and I was a curious kid, so I would go across the street and visit him as often as I could.
He was the first person to introduce me to Go-Jo hand soap, which I thought had an unpleasant smell. He and his wife occasionally invited me to have supper with them, and it was there that I would learn about burgers with French dressing. Eventually, he moved away.
A few years ago, I ran into David again. He went to the same restaurant to have breakfast. David retired and still had that 1940 Ford and also a mid-forties truck which he would always drive, one or the other, to breakfast.
David and I enjoyed many conversations about life, cars, and car shows. I remember just a few years ago, he was sitting at a local pizza joint with his daughter, and I sat next to him to have a conversation. I asked, “Where’s your wife ”To which his face went blank, and his daughter told me her mom had passed away. At that moment, my heart ached because, after having lost my wife, I knew that pain all too well. From then on, I noticed when David came to breakfast, he had his wife’s dog with him. Yep, he had that dog with him always. Even at car shows, they had a close bond which I understood.
I looked forward to car show season. When I saw him at the shows, it always put an emotional tear in my eye watching him and that dog. I wanted to get a picture of him and his dog, but I was always in a hurry and kept saying I would get it at the next show. However, with COVID-19 and all the fear out, car shows were getting canceled, and David wasn’t at breakfast much anymore because he didn’t want to catch it.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

第四部分 写作
第一节
Boost Our Confidence
With the college entrance examination approaching, some students are getting more and more nervous.
As a senior 3 student, I used to lack confidence, often thinking I couldn’t do anything well. But now I realize suffering failure is a vital part in life. More importantly, it is our attitude that plays a crucial role. So we should take a positive attitude to the exam. Besides, a proper timetable can help us concentrate more on our studies. We can boost our confidence this way.
I do hope that all of us can keep confident about the coming examination.
第二节
Paragraph1:
About a week ago, when going to pick up my breakfast, I asked my waitress Tanya “Have you seen David lately ” Tanya told me that about three weeks ago David passed away due to a sudden heart attack. On hearing her words, I stood there still for a few seconds without saying a word. I was too shocked to believe my ears. I could feel my energy drain from my body as I struggled not to have tears on my cheeks in public. I just wanted to get into my car to wrap my head around what I heard.
Paragraph 2:
David’s death has really reminded me to the meaning of life. You see, we never know which one comes first, the death or tomorrow. I will never have the opportunity to get that picture of him with his dog, nor will I get to tell him what he meant to me and what a great effect he had on my life and career. Living with regrets is a terrible thing, so in the future I won’t put off telling and showing people what they mean to me.

Today we talk about a piece of furniture used for sitting. As the name suggests, an armchair has extensions for resting your arms. So, armchairs are more comfortable than other chairs. In fact, they are so comfortable that people sit in them for hours. Besides being a kind of furniture, Americans use the word “armchair” in front of other words to describe different sorts of people. An armchair detective enjoys reading detective novels or watching true crime shows. They may be interested in trying solving a crime. But all their efforts are done from their homes. If you enjoy watching and reading about people who do dangerous activities, like climbing Mount Everest, you might be an armchair adventurer. In the same way, an armchair general gives advice on going into battle but not involved in a real battle. So, next time when hearing the term used to describe anyone, please consider what it really means.
