Good morning! I’m honored to stand here to deliver my speech, whose theme is “Preserving the Oceans”.
Ocean plays an essential role in our vulnerable ecosystem, say, maintaining the balance of nature. Thus, it is imperative to protect it. Initially, it’s definitely advisable to make laws, banning people from throwing garbage into ocean. Additionally, a specific proposal is to promote the awareness of preserving our precious sea. Ultimately, only when we attach great importance to ocean conservation, can we better the ocean environment.
Actions speak louder than words. It is high time that we devoted ourselves to protecting the oceans.

On the pier, a crowd had gathered. From somewhere, the onlookers found a rope and a life preserver ring, which they threw to James and Raphael. The friends put the victim’s arm and head through the life preserver ring and tied the rope around his body. With the two men pushing from below and the crowd pulling from above, the man’s dangling body slowly rose until helping hands pulled him onto the pier. Both men are thoroughly exhausted from the urgent rescue mission in the water.
Suddenly the man moved, breathing again. He lashed out confusedly, not knowing what was happening around. With the horn blowing, the ambulance rescue workers came timely, loaded the nearly drowned man into an ambulance and drove away. James and Raphael never learned who he was, what became of him or how he’d fallen into the river. “If I know I’m capable,” James says, “why wouldn’t I help ” Raphael adds, laughing, “People always say ‘If your friend jumps off a cliff, are you jumping ’ I think I answered that one.”

W: How is your leg I can’t believe a cat actually bit you! (1)
M: It’s not serious. It was pretty strange to see a cat acting like a big dog, though!
Text 2
M: I’m not sure I want to have another beach holiday this summer. We do the same thing each year.
W: You’re right. How about something completely different this year, like a tour around southern India (2) We’ve never been there before.
Text 3
M: I love the characters in this painting, and the colors are quite bright. I’d probably buy it if I had enough money. (3)
W: Really I’m not sure it’s worth buying as there are nicer paintings in the other room.
Text 4
W: Why did you say that about Mia’s new hairstyle
M: I didn’t mean to upset her. I was just making a joke.
W: Well, she had no way of knowing that. I think you might have to apologize to her. (4)
Text 5
M: Hello, Sue. I’m sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to attend the party this afternoon. I developed a fever last night and need to stay in bed. (5)
W: Oh no, that’s not good. Don’t worry about the party. I hope you feel better soon.
Text 6
W: Hey, Jacob. (6) (7) Have you thought about what you’re going to do during your gap year
M: Yeah, I’m considering doing some volunteer work. I think it would be a great opportunity to give back and gain valuable experience. (6)
W: Have you decided which organization or cause you want to volunteer for
M: Not yet, but I’ve been researching various options. There are so many organizations that focus on issues like education, healthcare, or the environment. All I know is that I want to do something different.
W: I recently read a magazine article about lions in Africa and it made me want to help out at a lion park there. Maybe you should consider that as an option. (7)
M: That sounds good.
Text 7 (第10题为总结题)
M: Hey, Sarah! (8) How have you been
W: Hi, John! (9) Actually, I’ve been trying to figure out what career I want to pursue, since we’re graduating from high school in six months. (8) What about you Have you figured out what you want to be
M: Yes. I’ve always wanted to be a pilot, and the idea of exploring new destinations attracts me. (9)
W: That’s amazing! My dream job is to become a biologist, but I’ve been thinking about whether it’s something I can develop a career in.
M: If you are strongly committed to your dream and work tirelessly to improve yourself, I’m sure you can make your dream come true.
Text 8
W: Can I help you, sir
M: Yes, I want to find a place to stay for a few days.
W: Well, there are several good hotels. The Mayflower is near the main square in the city center, (13) but you might also be interested in the Salamander. It’s in the countryside, (11) about 10 kilometers away, and it’s very peaceful. Then there is the Springhill — it’s in town but off the airport road. (12)
M: Well, it might be a bit far. (12) Okay, can you tell me a bit about the one you mentioned in the city center
W: Well, it is quite unusual. It used to be a large private house, but then someone bought it and completely redesigned it into a hotel.
M: Does it have a swimming pool
W: No. The Salamander has an outdoor pool though, which is very nice in summer. And the only hotel with an indoor pool is the Springhill.
M: I see. Well, I think I’ll probably go for the one in the city center. (13)
Text 9
W: Before you purchase this Eurostar ticket from London to Paris, I’ve been instructed to inform all passengers that a red weather warning may affect the journey. (16)
M: What kind of impact And what sort of weather is being forecast Heavy wind and rain
W: No. The snow is expected to fall over in southern England at eight o’clock this evening and continue into the early hours of tomorrow morning. (14) It’s highly likely that it will cause problems on the line.
M: So, why is it still possible for me to buy a ticket
W: All trains are still scheduled to leave on time until we are told otherwise, sir.
M: What if I buy a ticket and the train then gets canceled (15) Will you arrange free hotel accommodation for me
W: No, but we’ll do everything in our power to get you to your destination, including using other public transport services. (15) But, unfortunately, once purchased, the money cannot be given back. Would you still like a ticket (16)
M: Yes, I’ll take a chance. (16)

Julia is Russian, and now she lives in Canada. In 1998, she moved to Canada with her husband and two sons for business. To make a new life for herself and her family, Julia secured a position at a science laboratory upon arrival. Today, Julia is an assistant professor at McGill University. (17)
At first, her biggest problem was her poor English. (18) Not being able to fully express herself made it difficult for her to register her children at school and to help them with their homework. However, that all changed soon. She learned to speak English by joining Toastmasters, a famous speaking organization. She learned English by listening to speeches that people made. (19) She found it a very enjoyable and enriching experience.
Julia has always felt welcome in Canada, which makes it a special place for her. The warmth and respect she received from Canadians left a lasting impact on her. In times of need, she always found relief in the support of her newfound community. (20)2023—2024学年（下）期末考试

Start of Summer, the 7th term of the year, begins on May 6 and ends on May 20 this year.
It signals the transition of seasons. Here are four things to learn about it.
Greeting Start of Summer
The term Start of Summer originated at the end of the Warring States Period. Since it is a
crucial time for the harvest of summer crops, ancient Chinese emperors in different dynasties
attached great importance to the Start of Summer.
Checking One’s Weight
The custom of weighing people at the Start of Summer originated from the Three
Kingdoms Period and prevails in South China today. It was believed this practice would bring
health and good luck to the people weighed. It is said those who were weighed would stay
healthy in the hot summer and those who weren’t would suffer illness.
Eating Eggs
In ancient China, people believed a round egg symbolized a happy life and eating eggs on
the day of Start of Summer was a prayer for good health. They put leftover tea into boiled
water together with eggs. Later people improved cooking methods and added spices to the eggs
to make them taste delicious. Today tea egg has become a traditional snack in China.
Taking Care of the Heart
According to Chinese traditional medicine, Start of Summer is a key time to moisten the
heart. When the weather grows hotter, dampness and heat can affect human health. Food rich in
vitamins and cool in nature is highly recommended. Vegetables, such as cucumber, tomato, and
watercress and fruits like watermelon, pear and strawberry are top recommendations.
21. What do the customs of Checking One’s Weight and Eating Eggs have in common
A. They are related to losing weight.
B. They are believed to bring good health to people.
C. They originated around the Three Kingdoms Period.
D. They are about eating food.
22. What do we know about the customs of Taking Care of the Heart
A. Cold food is used as Chinese traditional medicine.
B. Food rich in protein is highly recommended.
C. The hotter the weather is, the healthier one becomes.
D. The heart needs vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins in summer.
23. In which column may you find this passage
A. Entertainment. B. Culture. C. Travelling. D. Medicine.
B
Chien-Shiung Wu was a Chinese-American particle and experimental physicist who made
significant contributions in the fields of nuclear and particle physics. She is best known for
conducting the Wu experiment, which proved that parity (对 称 ) is not conserved. This
discovery resulted in her colleagues Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang winning the 1957
3
{#{QQABaYSQogCAApAAAQhCAQkqCACQkBCAASgGhBAIsAAAwANABAA=}#}
Nobel Prize in Physics, while Wu herself was awarded the Wolf Prize in Physics in 1978. Her
expertise in experimental physics aroused comparisons to Marie Curie.
Chien-Shiung Wu was born in a town of Jiangsu province, China, in 1912. Wu and her
father were extremely close, and he encouraged her interests passionately, creating an
environment where she was surrounded by books, magazines, and newspapers. Wu received
her elementary school education at Mingde Women’s Vocational School founded by her father.
Wu left her hometown in 1923 to go to the Suzhou Women’s Normal School No 2, which
was fifty miles from her home. In an era when “getting married” was considered the best
destiny for women, she carved out a new path for herself through her diligent and earnest
approach to learning and her thirst for knowledge.
In 1936, Chien-Shiung Wu went to the United States to pursue further studies in atomic
physics. It was during this period of her education that she came to know Oppenheimer, who
was teaching in the Physics Department. Under the guidance of renowned physicists such as
Oppenheimer, Lawrence, and Segre, Chien-Shiung, Wu successfully completed her studies and
her doctoral research. Due to the highly sensitive nature of her work, the details of her research
were not revealed until the end of World War II.
In 1984, Chien-Shiung Wu returned to China from the United States. At the age of 72, she
made a substantial donation of $250,000 to her hometown to support its development. Later,
she also became an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In 1997, Chien-Shiung Wu passed away. Before her death, she requested to be buried in
her hometown of Suzhou. Today, her tombstone in Taicang, Suzhou, bears the inscription: “She
was an outstanding global citizen and a forever Chinese.”
24. Which of the following is NOTWu’s achievement
A. She won the Wolf Prize in Physics.
B. Her finding led to her colleagues’ winning Nobel Prize.
C. Her experiment proved that parity is not conserved.
D. Her assistance made Marie Curie incomparable.
25. What can we infer about her childhood
A. She lived close to the elementary school.
B. Her father played a significant role in her growth.
C. She might have accepted women’s destiny.
D. She was a born book-lover.
26. What can we know about her research work in the USA
A. It was kept secret during World War II.
B. It was carried out on her own.
C. Most of her research was about nature.
D. She carved out a new way to do research work.
27. Which of the following can best describe Chien-Shiung Wu
A. Knowledge-seeking and patriotic. B. Unconventional and honest.

“WOW, THIS is not what I was expecting at all,” says Allison, a nurse, remembering the
first romance novel she ever read. Having shared the general literary bias (偏见 ) towards
romance novels, she is now crazy about this genre (体裁). Allison was browsing in The Ripped
Bodice, a romance-novel shop that recently opened in Brooklyn. The day the shop opened, the
queue to get in was more than an hour long. The shop, which is uniquely-decorated, is serious
in its devotion to romance novels.
The popularity of The Ripped Bodice (the second chain store devoted to romance in the
district) is part of a larger shift. During the pandemic, when many were stuck at home and
looking for escapist reading, fictional romance blossomed. In the year to May, romance print
sales were up by 52%, according to a market-research firm. List-price sales grew by 74%.
Annual growth in sales went from 6% in 2020 to more than 50% last year.
Readers have changed too. Newer fans are mostly young adults and many are teenagers.
They are keen on romance novels with a central love story and a happy ending.
“The industry has a lot of respect for what has been happening with romance,” says
Kristen, the manager of the market-research firm. “Now modern authors want to seek
something deeper. Love is a powerful feeling. I wish that the writers could all see their way
past thinking that those emotions are somehow less valuable than emotions that are built out of
pain and sorrow,” says Sarah, author of “Knockout”－ a best-seller about romance in this
season.
Librarians have noticed the shift too. Stephanie Anderson, of BookOps, which buys books
for public libraries in New York and Brooklyn, notes that “the biggest challenge with romance
at this point is finding the money and space to keep up with all the popular titles.”
28. What happened on the day when the Ripped Bodice opened
A. Some well-known writers appeared on the spot.
B. Readers gathered there out of passion for romance novels.
C. Readers showed little interest in this newly-opened book shop.
D. Allison’s bias towards romance novels has deepened.
29. Which of the following may contribute to the popularity of fictional romance
A. Shifts of writing styles.
B. The marketing strategy.
C. The immobility during pandemic.
D. People’s attempt to escape reading.
30. What can we learn from Sarah’s words in paragraph 4
A. Romance writers should dig into emotions built out of pain and sorrow.
B. Romance authors should pay more attention to people’s thoughts in the past.
C. Romance writers should get rid of the conventional plots completely.
D. Romance authors should realize the power and value of love.
5
{#{QQABaYSQogCAApAAAQhCAQkqCACQkBCAASgGhBAIsAAAwANABAA=}#}
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. Romance novels have been gaining popularity since the pandemic.
B. Romance authors will seek something deeper in writing romance.
C. Allison fell in love with The Ripped Bodice.
D. Readers are crowding into bookstores and libraries.
D
Restless in their seat, glancing around and never looking you in the eye. We think we
know when someone is lying, but do we really
A study showed that people’s ability to tell if someone is lying is little better than 50%.
Interestingly, another research suggests that we are actually quite good at unconsciously (无意
识地 ) spotting liars, but our conscious thoughts overrule this. Scientist R. Edward points out
that training in recognising liars doesn’t always help, saying “quick, inadequate training
sessions lead people to over-analyse and to do worse than if they go with their gut reactions (本
能)”.
One reason for this may be “truth bias”. Experts have suggested that we are usually biased
to believe that people are telling us the truth. Another reason that might make us bad at
identifying liars is that there are many myths around body language and lying. Many of us
believe that liars are unlikely to look us in the eye or will be uneasy in their seat. However, this
isn’t necessarily the case. It may be that not looking away, or sitting more still than usual, are
actually the giveaways that someone is lying.
To see how someone’s behaviour really changes as they lie, many experts recommend
observing people talking about things known to be true. This allows us to establish a baseline
of their normal behaviours while speaking. Any differences to this baseline behaviour could
show that someone is lying. This is why it’s much harder to lie to people who know us well.
As liars may be working hard to conceal their behaviours, some psychologists have
suggested increasing the effort needed for this by asking them to tell their story again
backwards. When facing this increased cognitive (认知的) load, any behavioural tell-tale signs
are magnified (放大).
It can be hard to spot liars. We are likely to trust people, and behaviours can be hidden, but
if we know someone well, and if someone is working too hard to stick to their story, it’s
possible to see through people who are not telling the truth.
32. What can be known according to the researches in paragraph 2
A. Most people are able to distinguish a liar.
B. Getting trained is quite useful for telling a liar.
C. Spotting liars is like making a guess.
D. Making conscious thoughts helps spot a liar.
33. Which is NOT recommended by the experts to spot a liar
A. Increasing the person’s cognitive pressure.
B. Observing the person talking about things known real.
6
{#{QQABaYSQogCAApAAAQhCAQkqCACQkBCAASgGhBAIsAAAwANABAA=}#}
C. Getting to know the person better.
D. Asking the person to retell his story from beginning to end.
34. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “conceal”
A. Disguise. B. Seek. C. Spot. D. Display.
35. What is the best title of the text
A. How we can spot a liar.
B. What a liar’s tricks are.
C. Why it’s hard to spot a liar.
D. Who are good at lying.

多余选项。
Need a good adventure
You don’t have to climb a mountain or go on safari. Any adventure where you stretch
yourself and learn something new counts. For some, it may be jumping out of a plane. 36
Ready for your adventure Here’s some advice.
37
Pick a manageable activity you can do soon－ this weekend!－close to home. This will
break your inertia (惰性), build your confidence and help you ramp up to bigger adventures.
Shift how you view anxiety.
Research shows that people who interpreted their nervousness about activities such as
karaoke singing and public speaking as excitement enjoyed the experiences more and
performed better than those who tried to press down their anxiety.
38 says Samantha Boardman, a New York psychiatrist: Turning Stress into Strength.
Try talking to yourself out loud, saying “I am excited” or “Let’s get excited.”
Use your imagination.
Envision the worst-case scenario. Say you want to go on a hike but are worried you’ll
become lost, hurt or too exhausted to get home. Try to picture this. Next, visualize the best-case
scenario: the beautiful view, the fun you’ll have, your sense of accomplishment afterward.
Ask yourself what will probably happen. Are you more likely to feel happy after your hike,
or to be carried off the mountain in a sedan chair (轿子) 39 says Boardman.
Make full use of regret.
It can be very motivating. Think about whether you’ll feel disappointed if you miss out on
this interesting, expansive experience or glad you stayed home.
We tend to regret actions we don’t take rather than ones we do. 40
A. Start small.
B. Be confident.
C. For some, it may be climbing Mount Qomolangma.
D. So the fear of missing out can help you.
7
{#{QQABaYSQogCAApAAAQhCAQkqCACQkBCAASgGhBAIsAAAwANABAA=}#}
E. This exercise helps put fear in perspective.
F. For others, trying a different workout may do the trick.
G. This changed their threat mindset into an opportunity mindset.

Sullivan calls her right arm her “little arm”. The 10-year-old was born with that arm less

James, a 24-year-old investment banker from Toronto, was just one week into his new job
on Wall Street. Over the past month, he’d been settling in to the New York City apartment he
was sharing with his college friend, an artificial intelligence engineer named Raphael.
Now, last week, the two were going to meet in a lunchtime on Pier (码头) 15, overlooking
the East River, when James froze. “Somebody’s in the water,” he said. Before Raphael could
respond, James climbed over the rail (栏杆) at the edge of the pier and jumped into the cold,
polluted water without taking the time to remove his shoes.

What James had heard was an alarmed fisherman shouting from Pier 16, nearly 50 yards
away, “Help! He’s in the water!” And what he’d seen was a person floating, lifeless.
Raphael didn’t need to see the victim. Maybe James saw someone in the water who needs
our help, he thought. Or maybe it’s James who needs my help. Either way, I’m going in. He
took off his shoes and dived.
Approaching the unconscious victim, James saw that it was a middle-aged man. He was
big, around 200 pounds, respectably dressed and sinking fast. He was 3 feet below the surface
by the time James reached him. The rescuer dived, felt around, grasped the man and kicked
upward until they both got out of the surface. Raphael was there now. In the water, the two
friends floated the man on his back. As Raphael put his arms around the man’s shoulders and
James supported the bottom and knees, the pair pulled the man back to Pier 15. Their lungs
heaved and their muscles burned as they pushed and pulled the immobile figure through the
water.
They might have been dragging a dead body. The man’s skin was blue, and neither
Raphael nor James detected any breathing. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new
uncertainty. How to get out of the water The shore was half meter above their heads.
