A
Camel caravans(商队) crossing desert dunes, merchants trading silks and spices at markets—these are the images that come to mind when we think of the Silk Road. But the reality goes far beyond this.
Rather than a single trade route from East to West, the Silk Road was made up of overlapping (重叠的) networks linking communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, from East Asia to Britain, and from Scandinavia to Madagascar. This major exhibition unveils how the journeys of people, objects and ideas that formed the Silk Road shaped cultures and histories.
The Silk Road was in use for thousands of years, but this visually stunning show focuses on a defining period in its history, from about AD 500 to 1000. This time witnessed significant leaps in connectivity and the rise of universal religions that linked communities across continents.
Working with 29 national and international partners to present objects from many regions and cultures alongside those from the British Museum collection, the exhibition offers a unique chance to see objects from the length and width of the Silk Road. From Tang Chinese ceramics exported to the Middle East to Indian garnets found in Suffolk, they reveal the astonishing reach of these networks.
Highlight objects from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan that have never been seen in the UK before also emphasize the importance of these regions to this continent-spanning story.
You’ll meet figures whose stories are interwoven(交织) with the Silk Road, including Willibald, an ingenious spice smuggler from England, and a legendary Chinese princess who shared the secrets of silk farming with her new kingdom. Crossing deserts, mountains, rivers and seas, the Silk Road tell a story of connection between cultures and continents, centuries before the formation of the globalized world we know today.
1. Which of the following is the probable name of this exhibition
A. Silk Road: Beyond Camels and Spices. B. Trade Networks: Explore the Silk Road.
C. Silk Road: In the Footsteps of History. D. Across Continents: Travel the Silk Road.
2. What can we learn about the objects presented at this exhibition
A. They cover a whole historical period. B. They are exhibited on a global tour.
C. They feature items from Central Asia. D. They each narrate a legendary story.
3. What does this exhibition mainly intend to show about the Silk Road
A The overall description of its formation. B. Its contribution to connecting the world.
C. The cultural exchange along its network. D. Its important influence on globalization.

Last December, while leaving the gym, I noticed a messy-haired young girl who looked to be in her mid-20s, as our daughter, Lily, had been. I watched how she was trying to get a broken treadmill (跑步机) to work before she threw up her hands and made a frustrated but cute face, sort of laughing to herself. Something Lily would have done.
I used to be the mother of a 25-year-old. I used to have a young person who loved me, belonged to me, connected me to the world of young people. It’s not that I don’t know other young people, but mine is gone, lost suddenly to shock from an allergic (过敏) reaction.
Later that day, at home, I discovered a photo on my phone from December 26,2022, exactly the day after the last Christmas I spent with Lily, while she was getting ready to head home. She wasn’t in a rush, and I said, “Wait, let’s get a shot of you and me.” In that last picture, we were in the kitchen, our arms around each other. My friend pointed out it’s really a picture of us three, because Eric is behind the camera and our smiles are for him. We’ re laughing at something he said. It was a good day.
We often don’t get to know when it’s the last time. There must have been a last time I played tennis with my father, a final trip to the movies with my mother, before I lost them both to a car accident. A last dinner with my friend Julie when we thought we had plenty of time, before her cancer diagnosis changed everything. I wasn’t paying attention then, and I didn’t think I needed to.
Now I try to be soberer. I go out to the beach, where a seagull used to jump in the air to pick a French fry out of Lily’s hand when he saw her. “You saw that seagull, didn’t you ” I’m talking loud, so she can hear me over the roar of waves. I tell her I will listen in case she wants to send me a message. I remind myself to pay attention. A message can be a bird, a breeze or a shell. A message can be anything.
4. What is Lily like in the author’s impression
A. Adorable and angelic. B. Energetic and considerate.
C. Genuine and innocent. D. Optimistic and humorous.
5. What can we infer about the photo on the author’s phone
A. It was not of much significance then. B. It was finely shot for a special purpose.
C. It bears her longing for her daughter. D. It is a sweet and amusing family photo.
6. Why does the author go out to the beach
A. To recall pleasant memories of the past. B. To make up for the pities of the past.
C. To ease the pain of losing her daughter. D. To stay connected with her daughter.
7. What does the author mainly want to tell us through this text
A. Speak up our deep love loudly. B. Live for the current moment.
C. Cherish those who are present. D. Keep on moving with regret.
C
From Pesto the penguin to Biscuits the seal — the internet loves to turn adorable baby animals into viral sensations. But why are we so interested in sharing something cute with others on social media “We seek out cuteness because it feels good!” explains Paul Dale, the author of Irresistible: How Cuteness Wired Our Brains and Conquered the World. So how does our brain define cute and why does it react this way
The first stop for anyone interested in the phenomenon of cuteness is Austrian ethologist Lorenz’s landmark 1943 paper, which describes a collection of features that hold the key to cuteness. Lorenz assumed that our brain’s response to cuteness is an evolutionary adaptation: cuteness triggers (引发) inborn caregiving, nurturing, and protective behaviors to enhance the likelihood of species survival. He believed our response to cuteness was irresistible.
But Lorenz’s theory doesn’t tell the whole story. According to Steinnes, a professor in behavioral analysis, there’s more at play here than simply triggering caregiving instincts. “When we see something cute, it evokes a wide range of powerful, predominantly (主要地) positive, emotions. Our brain has a unique, rapid, and specific response, with activation in areas linked to emotion, reward, motivation, and pleasure.”
Like Steinnes, Dale agrees that our response goes beyond caregiving, writing in his book that “the feeling of cuteness encourages affiliation, which is social bonding in a broader sense than just nurturing. This is why feeling that something is cute makes us want to get closer to it, even if we have no particular desire to protect or nurture it.”
Our interest, of course, extends beyond social media. While controlled interactions with wildlife can increase our interest in conservation, they may also fuel the desire for wild animal ownership or convey acceptability of animal exploitation. “It’s not just a selfish pleasure. Feeling the desire to protect and care for a cute animal, even if it’s only an image, encourages empathy and compassion,” Dale assures us. “It’s built into us, part of what makes us who we are. Cuteness makes us human.”
8. Why are penguin Pesto and seal Biscuits mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To attract readers’ curiosity. B. To display a phenomenon.
C. To introduce the main topic. D. To illustrate an assumption.
9. What can we learn about Lorenz and his theory
A. He defined the standard of cuteness. B. His theory is evolutionism-based.
C. He is a pioneer in cuteness research. D. His theory is outdated nowadays.
10. What impact does cuteness have on our brain according to Steinnes and Dale
A. It awakens our nature of parenting. B. It sharpens areas in charge of emotion.
C. It strengthens our bond with society. D. It inspires our intimacy subconsciously.
11. What does Dale convey about cuteness in the last sentence of the text
A. It arouses the positive side in humanity. B. It distinguishes humans from animals.
C. It is the common language of mankind. D. It reflects the values of human beings.
D
Parents have always blamed their teens’ misbehavior on their kids’ friends: they may say their kids “fell into bad company” or “got in with the wrong crowd”. To prevent what they see as negative influences, parents have responded with strategies ranging from criticizing the wayward (任性的) companions to forbidding any contact altogether. In fact, however, parents labeling a kid’s friend a bad impact actually makes behavior problems worse.
Previous research has provided a partial explanation that fits with most parents’ experience. The more parents prohibit their children from associating with friends who are in trouble, the more these kids seek out and stick to their off-limits friends. Meanwhile, their own troublemaking, defined as behaviors including fighting and stealing, increases.
Such rebellious behavior provides only a piece of the answer. Laursen, with his colleagues, sets out a broader explanation in a new study. Researchers tracked almost 600 students aged 9 to 14 at the beginning, middle and end of a school year. At each point, the students answered a series of questions including their emotions, their behavior, their relationship with their mother, and their mother’s attitudes towards the friends they had. Researchers also asked the students to list classmates they liked or disliked — an important dimension that had not been considered in prior research.
Then a clear pattern emerged. Whenever a child had behavior problems — and their mother disapproved of their friends — these peers, in turn, disliked the child and the kid’s behavior got worse. Why did mom’s disapproval lead to more problems “It’s because the classmates hate it. Kids hate their parents intervening in peer relationships.” Laursen says. “Rejected kids tend to hang out with other excluded kids who themselves are likely to have behavior problems.”
“The idea that parental interference in peer friendships can make a child seem ‘uncool’ to peers and set them off on a disruptive track is a really new insight.” says developmental psychologist Nina Mounts. “If parents want to be effective in middle school, they have to foster a close, warm relationship with their kids. In other words, you have to stay in the game — by trying to cut your kids off from their friends, you are automatically removing yourself from it.”
12. What does the underlined word “rebellious” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Criminal. B. Resistant. C. Abnormal. D. Dangerous.
13. What advantages does Laursen’s explanation have over the former one
A. It challenges parents’ general experience. B. It notices the change in parents’ attitudes.
C. It takes children’s feedback into account. D. It inquires into children’s social network.
14. What is the direct cause that worsens children’s behavior problems
A. The intervention of their parents. B. The misguide of wayward companions.
C. The isolation of their classmates. D. The poor self-discipline of themselves.
15. What does Nina warn about parents’ intervention in their child’s friendship
A. It makes the child feel unfairly treated. B. It impairs the child’s image among peers.
C. It tears their family relationship apart. D. It reduces their weight in child’s growth.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Invisible Habits Are Driving Your Life
Around the new year, countless people resolve to reform their bad habits and introduce better ones. ___16___. “We like to think that we’re doing things for a reason, that everything is driven by a goal,” David Neal, a psychologist specializing in behavior change, told me. But goals seem like our primary motivation only because we’ re more conscious of them than of how strong our habits are.
Research has suggested that habits are practically automatic “context-response associations”— after you repeat an action enough times, you’ll do it mindlessly if you encounter the cue and the environment. “___17___,” David says. “It just indicates that your conscious mind doesn’t need to participate in the initiation or execution (执行) of the behavior.”
Our conscious goals might motivate us to repeat a particular behavior, and so serve as the spark that gets the habit engine going. ___18___, because once they solidify, they can break away from the goals that inspired them. If our goals shift, context cues will still trigger habitual behavior.
___19___. If you don’t like something the first time you try it, you probably won’t repeat the experience. But habits can persist even if their outcome stops being pleasing. In David’s study, people with the habit of eating popcorn at the movies ate more stale (变质的) popcorn than those without the habit. It’s not so terrible to endure some stale popcorn, but consider the consequences if more complex habitual actions—work-life balance, or interpersonal relationships— hang around past their expiration date (过期).
Neutral habits, such as the timing of my yoga session, can be hardest to assess. But because habits won’t always have your latest intentions in mind, it’s worth keeping an eye on them to make sure they won’t work against you. ___20___. But knowing how they work— simply becoming aware of how unaware of them we can be— can help get you to a life with as little stale popcorn as possible.
A. Like it or not, people are destined to be bundled up with habits.
B. That doesn’t mean that people have no recollection of what they did.
C. Once an action becomes a habit, you can lose sight of what prompts it.
D Yet the science of habits reveals that they are not subject to our desires.
E. Habits also maintain their independence by not being as sensitive to rewards.
F. But even habits that are deliberately begun are worth reevaluating every so often.
G. However, people tend to explain their habitual behavior by appealing to their desires.

I was so excited about the London Olympics and wanted to be a part of it. A year before the Games, I thought, they’re going to need lifeguards, and Googled “London 2012 volunteers”. I ___21___ there would be thousands of applicants for the Olympic lifeguard role, so I didn’t expect to hear back. But, a few weeks later, I was invited to a two-day exam and surprisingly passed.
I’ve heard people say, “Who needs lifeguards at the Olympics ” “It’s the ___22___ job in the world.” It’s belittling (轻视). You’re not a ___23___, but you must be prepared. If you don’t know how to pull somebody out of the water ___24___, you’ve done the ___25___ before they get real treatment.
I don’t get starstruck, but you’d be ___26___ when you’re standing next to someone like Michael Phelps. One day I was waiting to start my ___27___, when he walked passed and gave us all high fives. When you see athletes win, you celebrate with them. When they fail, your heart breaks for them.
That’s not to say it’s not ___28___ when you’re in the chair. You don’t ___29___ the race because you’re so focused on checking each athlete’s ___30___ to see if anything doesn’t look right. Why is his arm doing that What’s happening with his foot Is he getting cramp
Even now, I’m still ___31___ while lifeguarding. You could have a pool full of the fittest-looking people, but one could have a history of heart disease. At the Paris Olympics, a Slovakian swimmer ___32___ after her event — she had had an asthma (哮喘) attack. Not all medical issues are ___33___.
I now work as a lifeguard at a pool near Telford. Whenever I watch the Olympics, I always ___34___ the lifeguards. There’s stuff going on behind the scenes that no one realize. We ___35___ and keep calm. But if there’s a problem, we’ll step forward.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Modern farms are increasingly automated — from GPS-controlled combine harvesters to machines that shake apples from trees. One task, though, seems stubbornly resistant to ___36___ (hand) to robots: picking grapes. Like all soft fruit, grapes have a narrow window of ___37___ (ripe), and are prone to being bruised or crushed if picked by clumsy metallic fingers. Matters are worse if the fruit is intended for fine wine.
A project at Saffron Grange vineyard in Essex however, aims to change some minds. Engineers at Queen Mary University of London, working with Extend Robotics, are building a grape-picking robot ___38___ (equip) with visual sensors powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to tell when fruit is ripe, and pressure-sensitive fingers ___39___ (grasp) and cut bunches (串) from vines ___40___ having to shake any fruit loose.
The project is still in its early stages. The current version of the robot has to be awkwardly manipulated (操纵) in real-time by a pilot wearing a VR headset. The owners of Saffron Grange vineyard ___41___ (provide) leaf, grape and juice samples to train the AI systems already and committed to planting half a field of vines ___42___ the robot can run freely.
Robotic help would be a boon for the vineyard. Harvest time is short and intense — a ten-day flurry (繁忙) of activity when ___43___ typical English vineyard’s staff will swell five-fold. With a robot, Paul Harrison, the vineyard’s manager, envisions ___44___ (turn) grape-picking into a 24-hour operation by hiring skilled labourers in Australia who could dial into the VR controls and pick grapes remotely, ____45____ his local workers have clocked off for the day.

The Last-Minute Purchase
Me work in a jewellery (珠宝) store It was hard to imagine. I didn’t wear any accessories, not even a watch. However, I was a teenager who needed money and the store had a help-wanted sign in the window. My lack of interest in jewellery was reflected in my sales. After two weeks, George, my boss, brought out the sales figures. I was dead last.
The closer we got to Christmas, the busier the store got. True to form, many customers rushed into the store desperate to find the perfect gift for their loved ones. Of course, we had just what they wanted, showing them the more expensive items and only showing lower-priced ones if they asked.
About a half-hour before closing, a young girl came into the store with a worried look. I asked if I could help her. “I want to buy a gift for my mom,” she said. “It has to be something very special.” “What can you tell me about your mom ” I asked. “She’s beautiful.” she replied. My next question was how much money she had to spend. “Six dollars.”— that was still not much money, even though this happened way back when I was a teenager.
I knew we had some options in her price range. I patiently showed her several pieces. Nothing seemed special enough for the young girl’s mom. The store was filling up, with wallets being flipped out like a shootout. George’s eyes followed me like searchlights looking for enemy aircraft.
Finally, like the star in the east, a pair of earrings appeared. “They’re perfect. My mom will love these.” the little girl gasped. It came to $4.98. As I started to put the earrings in a bag, two big, brown eyes sparkled at me with great joy— the joy of this season.
“Could you gift-wrap them, please ” she requested. I got out one of the store’s special boxes, wrapped the earrings in gold paper, put a red ribbon around it. The gift looked beautiful, fit for the best mom in the world. She must have been the best mom in the world. What other kind of mother would raise such a wonderful child
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；

Head held high, the girl danced out of the store, delighted as a little deer.

George stared at me with wide eyes—though it was Christmas, he wasn’t merry at all.

【46题答案】
【答案】Dear Hans,
I’m Li Hua. I’m writing to offer my suggestions regarding the new books to be purchased by our school library next month. The book I strongly recommend is The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway.
This classic is a must-read for several reasons. First of all, its language is simple yet powerful, enabling us to appreciate the charm of English. Moreover, the story of the old man’s unwavering perseverance in the face of hardships is truly inspiring, which teaches us the importance of never giving up, no matter how difficult the situation is. In addition, as Hemingway’s representative work, this book provides us with valuable insights into his artistic style and writing features.
I sincerely hope my recommendation will be taken into consideration. Looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】
Head held high, the girl danced out of the store, delighted as a little deer. Watching her skip away, I couldn’t help but imagine the surprised and touched expression illuminating her mother’s face when she received this gift. I felt a sense of satisfaction, knowing that I had played a part in creating such a beautiful memory for them. It was moments like these that made all the long hours and stressful days in the store worthwhile. However, as I was immersed in this warm feeling, I suddenly felt a pair of eyes on me.
George stared at me with wide eyes— though it was Christmas, he wasn’t merry at all. “We were overwhelmed by customers eager to splurge, and she spent almost nothing! Every minute is precious, but you were dallying with her!” Without fear or hesitation, I replied firmly, “Yes, there were many with lots of money, but this child knows the true spirit of giving. She gave most of what she had. ” Falling silent for an extended moment, finally, he nodded thoughtfully, “Maybe you’re right.” As the faint chime of Christmas bells echoed in the distance, we both realized the true spirit of Christmas beyond sales— giving and caring.
