Into China’s Wild West
I was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province. My family and I moved to France when I was six years old. Since then, Gansu has become the remote, mysterious land of my ancestors. Even though I come back to visit every year, I still wonder 31 the people there live, what they eat, and if I can still be considered one of them.
Last year, I returned to the city for the Lunar New Year celebration. My favorite downtown noodle shop was already crowded at 7 a.m. I saw a five-year-old girl having breakfast with her mother at one table. At 32 table, a street cleaner in an orange outfit was calmly finishing his bowl next to a well-dressed businessman. Their lives 33 be worlds apart, yet here they share the same daily breakfast.
Aside from the delicious noodles, most tourists will visit Dunhuang, a city famous for its ancient Buddhist grottoes and murals (佛教石窟和壁画). I took my first trip there in January 2023. The unique beauty of northwestern China became increasingly easy to see 34 I drove farther from Lanzhou. The barren (荒芜的) hills and open spaces seemed 35 (stretch) out forever, covered in a thin layer of snow that sparkled under the winter sun. I found myself impressed by the raw beauty of the vast land in front of me. Gansu felt so real.
When I finally reached Dunhuang eight hours later, the temperatures 36 (drop) well below zero. The famous Mogao Caves demonstrate the rich cultural and spiritual exchanges that took place along the ancient Silk Road. I marveled at the countless frescoes (壁画) and statues 37 keep alive the stories of ancient pilgrims (朝圣者). The contrast between the cold, empty landscape surrounding Dunhuang and the colorful sacredness (神圣) of the caves was striking.
38 the amazing cultural heritage in Dunhuang, Gansu is not the most attractive place to live. It is largely a no-man’s land 39 (trouble) by droughts and sandstorms, but I am still proud of being born there. The memories of my childhood, the stories of my ancestors, and the rich culture of Gansu have created in me a sense of 40 (belong). It is where I truly feel at home.
Section C
A．genuine B．creative C． proud D．throughout E. forward F. assignment G. teenager H. pressureI. reflect J. aim K. related

III.Reading Comprehension (共45分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Why the Color Green Makes Us Feel Good
Scientists have revealed a new theory into why the color green makes us feel good. It is already well known that being out in nature is good for a person’s mental health. But now, a new study published in the British Ecological Society 51 a new theory for this called the “greenery hypothesis (假说).” They suggest that our need for green spaces 52 evolution.
The researchers suggest that when greenery disappears during times of drought, it triggers a signal in humans for environmental degradation (恶化). This can lead to 53 psychological response, and even lead to feelings of depression.
54 , when greenery returns, the researchers report that it triggers a positive mental response, which further encourages them to 55 positive activities, like searching for food.
“These psycho-physiological 56 must be crucial for survival during environmental fluctuations (波动) that humans have experienced in evolutionary adaptive environments,” a summary of the study reports. “However, in modern urbanized societies with limited greenery, this psychological system may lead to non-adaptive negative effects, such as increased stress and depression, creating a 57 between our evolutionary past and current cultural evolution.
This hypothesis can provide valuable insights into understanding how humans psychologically respond to nature exposure, with implications for 58 such as urban planning, biodiversity conservation, etc.
The scientists created this new hypothesis by bringing together previous research into the 59 of nature on humans. And from this, they gather that ongoing loss of green spaces, 60 in urban environments, could have severe impacts on human health and well-being.
They note that restoring natural environments in urban areas should be a matter of priority in order to 61 “mass psychological health problems in contemporary society.” They hope that the hypothesis outlined in the study provides a framework for improving conservation efforts and prioritizing green environments in urban areas. They also emphasize how nature and greenery must be 62 for human well-being.
The greenery hypothesis also notes that humans are more likely to find a place beautiful or pleasing to look at if there is greenery. This is even more likely if a person is more used to urban environments that have a 63 amount of nature around.
“Our proposed hypothesis states that humans have adapted to periodic severe 64 and re-watering cycles by developing both negative and positive psychological responses to the absence or 65 of greenery within the landscape as hints to optimize their own behavioral activities.” the authors write in the study.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Clementine seemed to be missing a piece from her life’s puzzle for most of her life. Dropped off as a 3-year-old homeless dog near New Orleans, the dog stayed in the shelter for four months before being moved to Texas.
While living at an adoption center in Texas, the dog was adopted out twice to different families. Sadly, neither of those adoptions were successful. It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family.
Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighters deal with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! With the permission of the chief and other firefighters, he and a few colleagues visited the shelter. As soon as they met Clementine, they were smitten!
“They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. “She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her.”
Captain Moree officially adopted Clementine, but she definitely belonged to every person in the firehouse. She loved to hug the firefighters in between calls, and she was always nearby whenever anyone was preparing food. “She rides on the truck when we go out on calls” said Captain Moree. “She not only makes the station feel more like home during our 24-hour shifts but also keeps us excited to come to the station.”
Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards!
66．Why did Clementine fail to stay in the second family
A．She was too active. B．She liked fire. C．She ate too much. D．She was aggressive.

68．What did Captain Moree expect a fire dog to do
A．Help put out fires. B．Guard the firehouse.
C．Stay excited day and night. D．Ease pressure of firefighters.
69．What can be inferred about Clementine from the last two paragraphs
A．She risked her life as a fire dog. B．She has got many important awards.
C．She did an excellent job as a fire dog. D．She remained homeless in her whole life.

We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programs. We have such roles as project managers and communication officers.
Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community’s access to safe drinking water or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.
Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, but you’ll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who’ll become your lifelong friends.
This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programs:

Going vegan or vegetarian is one way to decrease your diet’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions (排放) — but it isn’t the only way. A recent Purdue University study suggests that smaller changes can make a difference too, while improving your health.
After analyzing the 2010 grocery purchases of more than 57,000 U.S. families, Purdue researchers found 71 percent could reduce their food carbon footprint by making some changes. One is to skip the unhealthy snacks. Avoiding foods with high calorie is important and low nutritional value can reduce the total carbon footprint of U.S. family food consumption by nearly 10 percent. Items like candy, soda, and packaged snacks take more ingredients and more processing, which translates to higher environmental impacts.
Another effective way to reduce your carbon emissions is to avoid bulk buys. Households of one or two people may end up with food waste when they try to save money with bulk buys. Before you buy supersize, consider whether a three-pound jar of peanut butter will go bad before it’s used up.
The researchers of the study also suggest consuming fewer ready-made foods. One average microwave meal may not have a very large carbon footprint. But buying them regularly can add up to high emissions because ready-made foods are sold in large quantities, which makes their carbon footprint significant, the study found.
By making the above changes, the U.S. could cut more than a quarter of emissions from household food consumption, the researchers say. That’s about 36 million metric tons — about what 6.6 million households generate in a year of electricity use. “Collective action can make a huge impact,” says study co-author Hua Cai.
73．Why does the author mention being a vegetarian in Paragraph 1
A．To encourage us to become vegetarians.
B．To introduce the findings of a recent study.
C．To illustrate the impact of greenhouse gas emission.
D．To tell readers it’s not a good way to help the environment.
74．How many methods are suggested by the study to reduce our food carbon footprint
A．Two. B．Three.
C．Four. D．Five.
75．What do the underlined words “bulk buys” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Buying things in quantity.
B．Buying things of low quality.
C．Buying things out of date.
D．Buying things of low price.
76．What might Hua Cai mean by saying “Collective action can make a huge impact”
A．We should collect some materials to make a difference.
B．We should take measures quickly to make a difference.
C．We should make efforts together to make a difference.
D．We should avoid all unhealthy food to make a difference.

Tips to Keep Your Personal Items Safe While Travelling
You might be surprised to hear that even in the limited space of an airplane, thefts still do occur. In a case reported, two men on board a flight were arrested after being suspected of stealing cash from fellow passengers’ mid-flight. 77 While airlines don’t advertise the fact, they’re not as rare as you may think.

Rest your feet on your bag to make sure no one gets close to the bag. 79 It takes just a few seconds for experienced thieves to steal your bag, so never give them the opportunity by leaving it unattended.
80 For example, you can divide your cash into three portions and keep some in your small bag, some in a pair of jeans that’s rolled up in your checked baggage, and some in your toiletries bag (化妆包). In this way, even if you lose one stash of money, you will not be left with absolutely no cash.

Into China’s Wild West
I was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province. My family and I moved to France when I was six years old. Since then, Gansu has become the remote, mysterious land of my ancestors. Even though I come back to visit every year, I still wonder 31 the people there live, what they eat, and if I can still be considered one of them.
Last year, I returned to the city for the Lunar New Year celebration. My favorite downtown noodle shop was already crowded at 7 a.m. I saw a five-year-old girl having breakfast with her mother at one table. At 32 table, a street cleaner in an orange outfit was calmly finishing his bowl next to a well-dressed businessman. Their lives 33 be worlds apart, yet here they share the same daily breakfast.
Aside from the delicious noodles, most tourists will visit Dunhuang, a city famous for its ancient Buddhist grottoes and murals (佛教石窟和壁画). I took my first trip there in January 2023. The unique beauty of northwestern China became increasingly easy to see 34 I drove farther from Lanzhou. The barren (荒芜的) hills and open spaces seemed 35 (stretch) out forever, covered in a thin layer of snow that sparkled under the winter sun. I found myself impressed by the raw beauty of the vast land in front of me. Gansu felt so real.
When I finally reached Dunhuang eight hours later, the temperatures 36 (drop) well below zero. The famous Mogao Caves demonstrate the rich cultural and spiritual exchanges that took place along the ancient Silk Road. I marveled at the countless frescoes (壁画) and statues 37 keep alive the stories of ancient pilgrims (朝圣者). The contrast between the cold, empty landscape surrounding Dunhuang and the colorful sacredness (神圣) of the caves was striking.
38 the amazing cultural heritage in Dunhuang, Gansu is not the most attractive place to live. It is largely a no-man’s land 39 (trouble) by droughts and sandstorms, but I am still proud of being born there. The memories of my childhood, the stories of my ancestors, and the rich culture of Gansu have created in me a sense of 40 (belong). It is where I truly feel at home.
【答案】
31．how 32．another 33．might 34．as 35．to stretch 36．had dropped 37．that/which 38．Despite 39．troubled 40．belonging

31．考查宾语从句。句意：尽管我每年都会回来，但我仍然想知道那里的人是如何生活的，他们吃什么，我是否还能被认为是他们中的一员。空处引导名词性从句作wonder的宾语，结合下一段叙述的去面馆吃早点的内容可知，从句中缺少方式状语，空处需表达“怎样，如何”，应用连接副词how作引导词。故填how。
32．考查限定词。句意：在另一张桌子上，一个穿着橙色衣服的街道清洁工正在平静地喝完他的碗，旁边是一个穿着讲究的商人。空处修饰table，结合前一句中“at one table”可知，此处指“在另一张桌子上”，应用限定词another表示“另一个”。故填another。
33．考查情态动词。句意：他们的生活可能天壤之别，但在这里，他们每天都吃同样的早餐。空处和be构成谓语，结合“worlds apart”可知，此处表示“他们的生活可能天壤之别”，应用might表达不太确定的推测，语气更委婉。故填might。
34．考查状语从句。句意：随着我驱车驶离兰州，中国西北独特的美景变得越来越清晰。空处前后均为完整的句子，前后两句中的动作同时发生，且是连续的，因此用从属连词as引导时间状语从句，意为“随着”。故填as。
35．考查非谓语动词。句意：荒山和空地似乎永远延伸下去，被一层薄薄的雪覆盖着，在冬日的阳光下闪闪发光。固定短语seem to do意为“似乎做某事”，空处应用stretch“延伸”的不定式形式。故填to stretch。
36．考查动词时态。句意：8小时后，当我终于到达敦煌时，气温已经降到了零度以下。空处作主句的谓语，根据从句“When I finally reached Dunhuang eight hours later”可知，此处drop“下降”这一行为发生在到达这一节点以前，即过去的过去，时态应用过去完成时。故填had dropped。
37．考查定语从句。句意：我惊叹于无数的壁画和雕像，它们生动地讲述着古代朝圣者的故事。空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词frescoes and statues，先行词指物，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词that或which作引导词。故填that/which。
38．考查介词。句意：尽管敦煌拥有令人惊叹的文化遗产，但甘肃并不是最吸引人的居住地。空后为名词短语，结合“Gansu is not the most attractive place to live”可知，此处表示让步的关系，应用介词despite表示“尽管，即使”，且句首单词的首字母应大写。故填Despite。
39．考查非谓语动词。句意：它基本上是一片无人区，饱受干旱和沙尘暴的困扰，但我仍然为自己出生在那里而感到自豪。句子已有谓语，空处是非谓语，作land的后置定语，trouble“给……造成麻烦”和land逻辑上是被动关系，因此用trouble的过去分词形式。故填troubled。
40．考查名词。句意：童年的回忆，祖先的故事，甘肃丰富的文化，让我产生了归属感。空处作of的宾语，应用belong的名词形式belonging，意为“归属”,sense of belonging意为“归属感”。故填belonging。

Why the Color Green Makes Us Feel Good
Scientists have revealed a new theory into why the color green makes us feel good. It is already well known that being out in nature is good for a person’s mental health. But now, a new study published in the British Ecological Society 51 a new theory for this called the “greenery hypothesis (假说).” They suggest that our need for green spaces 52 evolution.
The researchers suggest that when greenery disappears during times of drought, it triggers a signal in humans for environmental degradation (恶化). This can lead to 53 psychological response, and even lead to feelings of depression.
54 , when greenery returns, the researchers report that it triggers a positive mental response, which further encourages them to 55 positive activities, like searching for food.
“These psycho-physiological 56 must be crucial for survival during environmental fluctuations (波动) that humans have experienced in evolutionary adaptive environments,” a summary of the study reports. “However, in modern urbanized societies with limited greenery, this psychological system may lead to non-adaptive negative effects, such as increased stress and depression, creating a 57 between our evolutionary past and current cultural evolution.
This hypothesis can provide valuable insights into understanding how humans psychologically respond to nature exposure, with implications for 58 such as urban planning, biodiversity conservation, etc.
The scientists created this new hypothesis by bringing together previous research into the 59 of nature on humans. And from this, they gather that ongoing loss of green spaces, 60 in urban environments, could have severe impacts on human health and well-being.
They note that restoring natural environments in urban areas should be a matter of priority in order to 61 “mass psychological health problems in contemporary society.” They hope that the hypothesis outlined in the study provides a framework for improving conservation efforts and prioritizing green environments in urban areas. They also emphasize how nature and greenery must be 62 for human well-being.
The greenery hypothesis also notes that humans are more likely to find a place beautiful or pleasing to look at if there is greenery. This is even more likely if a person is more used to urban environments that have a 63 amount of nature around.
“Our proposed hypothesis states that humans have adapted to periodic severe 64 and re-watering cycles by developing both negative and positive psychological responses to the absence or 65 of greenery within the landscape as hints to optimize their own behavioral activities.” the authors write in the study.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Clementine seemed to be missing a piece from her life’s puzzle for most of her life. Dropped off as a 3-year-old homeless dog near New Orleans, the dog stayed in the shelter for four months before being moved to Texas.
While living at an adoption center in Texas, the dog was adopted out twice to different families. Sadly, neither of those adoptions were successful. It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family.
Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighters deal with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! With the permission of the chief and other firefighters, he and a few colleagues visited the shelter. As soon as they met Clementine, they were smitten!
“They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. “She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her.”
Captain Moree officially adopted Clementine, but she definitely belonged to every person in the firehouse. She loved to hug the firefighters in between calls, and she was always nearby whenever anyone was preparing food. “She rides on the truck when we go out on calls” said Captain Moree. “She not only makes the station feel more like home during our 24-hour shifts but also keeps us excited to come to the station.”
Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards!
66．Why did Clementine fail to stay in the second family
A．She was too active. B．She liked fire. C．She ate too much. D．She was aggressive.
67．What does the underlined word “smithen” probably mean
A．touched B．fascinated C．confused D．embarrassed
68．What did Captain Moree expect a fire dog to do
A．Help put out fires. B．Guard the firehouse.
C．Stay excited day and night. D．Ease pressure of firefighters.
69．What can be inferred about Clementine from the last two paragraphs
A．She risked her life as a fire dog. B．She has got many important awards.
C．She did an excellent job as a fire dog. D．She remained homeless in her whole life.
【答案】66．A 67．B 68．D 69．C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Clementine从一只流浪狗成为消防英雄狗的奇妙旅程。
66．细节理解题。根据第二段中“It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family.(事实证明，Clementine和小宠物相处不来，而且对于第二个家庭来说，她有太多的精力)”可知，Clementine没能留在第二个家庭的原因是她太活跃了。故选A项。
67．词句猜测题。根据划线单词下面的一段“‘They introduced us to Clementine,’ Captain Moree recalled. ‘She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her.’(‘他们把我们介绍给Clementine，’Moree队长回忆道。‘她开始喜欢我们，我们也立刻喜欢上了她。那天晚些时候，我和我的司机Bryan Wallen决定去接她。’）”可知，Moree队长他们被Clementine吸引住了，所以才决定接受她，所以，划线单词smitten与fascinated意义一致。故选B项。
68．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighters deal with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run!(与此同时，Robert Moree队长想给消防站增加一只消防犬。他刚刚读了一篇关于狗如何帮助消防员应对工作压力的研究，他渴望让这项研究在现实生活中进行试验！)”可知，Moree队长想让消防犬减轻消防员的压力。故选D项。
69．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog. She was named Dog of the Year at the 2022 ASPCA Humane Awards!(Clementine从一只无家可归的狗变成了一只英雄狗，经历了如此奇妙的旅程。她在2022年ASPCA人道奖上被评为年度最佳狗!）”可以推论出，作为消防犬，Clementine一定表现出色，她才会被评为年度最佳狗。故选C项。

(C)
Going vegan or vegetarian is one way to decrease your diet’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions (排放) — but it isn’t the only way. A recent Purdue University study suggests that smaller changes can make a difference too, while improving your health.
After analyzing the 2010 grocery purchases of more than 57,000 U.S. families, Purdue researchers found 71 percent could reduce their food carbon footprint by making some changes. One is to skip the unhealthy snacks. Avoiding foods with high calorie is important and low nutritional value can reduce the total carbon footprint of U.S. family food consumption by nearly 10 percent. Items like candy, soda, and packaged snacks take more ingredients and more processing, which translates to higher environmental impacts.
Another effective way to reduce your carbon emissions is to avoid bulk buys. Households of one or two people may end up with food waste when they try to save money with bulk buys. Before you buy supersize, consider whether a three-pound jar of peanut butter will go bad before it’s used up.
The researchers of the study also suggest consuming fewer ready-made foods. One average microwave meal may not have a very large carbon footprint. But buying them regularly can add up to high emissions because ready-made foods are sold in large quantities, which makes their carbon footprint significant, the study found.
By making the above changes, the U.S. could cut more than a quarter of emissions from household food consumption, the researchers say. That’s about 36 million metric tons — about what 6.6 million households generate in a year of electricity use. “Collective action can make a huge impact,” says study co-author Hua Cai.
73．Why does the author mention being a vegetarian in Paragraph 1
A．To encourage us to become vegetarians.
B．To introduce the findings of a recent study.
C．To illustrate the impact of greenhouse gas emission.
D．To tell readers it’s not a good way to help the environment.
74．How many methods are suggested by the study to reduce our food carbon footprint
A．Two. B．Three.
C．Four. D．Five.
75．What do the underlined words “bulk buys” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Buying things in quantity.
B．Buying things of low quality.
C．Buying things out of date.
D．Buying things of low price.
76．What might Hua Cai mean by saying “Collective action can make a huge impact”
A．We should collect some materials to make a difference.
B．We should take measures quickly to make a difference.
C．We should make efforts together to make a difference.
D．We should avoid all unhealthy food to make a difference.
【答案】73．B 74．B 75．A 76．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过改变一些小习惯来减少碳的排放量。
73．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Going vegan or vegetarian is one way to decrease your diet’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions (排放) — but it isn’t the only way. A recent Purdue University study suggests that smaller changes can make a difference too, while improving your health.(吃素或素食是减少饮食对温室气体排放影响的一种方法，但这不是唯一的方法。普渡大学(Purdue University)最近的一项研究表明，小的改变也可以产生影响，同时改善你的健康。)”可知，作者提出素食主义是为了引出话题，介绍通过一些小改变就可以减少碳的排放量，即该研究的新发现。故选B。
74．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One is to skip the unhealthy snacks.(一是不吃不健康的零食。)”、文章第三段“Another effective way to reduce your carbon emissions is to avoid bulk buys.(另一个减少碳排放的有效方法是避免批量购买。)”和文章第四段“The researchers of the study also suggest consuming fewer ready-made foods.(这项研究的研究人员还建议少吃现成的食物。)”可知，该研究提出了3种方法来减少我们的食物碳足迹。故选B。
75．词句猜测题。根据下文“Before you buy supersize, consider whether a three-pound jar of peanut butter will go bad before it’s used up.(在你购买超大号的花生酱之前，考虑一下一罐3磅重的花生酱在用完之前是否会变质。)”可知，只有一两个人的家庭为了节省大量购买的钱，最终可能会造成食物浪费。由此可知，bulk buys意为“大批购买”。故选A。
76．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“By making the above changes, the U.S. could cut more than a quarter of emissions from household food consumption, the researchers say. That’s about 36 million metric tons — about what 6.6 million households generate in a year of electricity use. “Collective action can make a huge impact,” says study co-author Hua Cai. ( 研究人员说，通过上述改变，美国可以减少家庭食品消费排放的四分之一以上。这大约是3600万吨——大约是660万户家庭一年的用电量。“集体行动可以产生巨大的影响，”该研究的合著者华彩说。)”可知，“Collective action can make a huge impact”的意思是呼吁我们应该共同努力，做出改变。故选C。

Tips to Keep Your Personal Items Safe While Travelling
You might be surprised to hear that even in the limited space of an airplane, thefts still do occur. In a case reported, two men on board a flight were arrested after being suspected of stealing cash from fellow passengers’ mid-flight. 77 While airlines don’t advertise the fact, they’re not as rare as you may think. There are some tips to ensure you don’t become the victim of such crimes.
78 This is especially important if you have a black, featureless bag. For example, you can sew a symbol on it or write your initials on the bag.
Keep your valuables such as cash, your ID and passport, and jewellery in a small bag that you can place under the seat in front of you. Rest your feet on your bag to make sure no one gets close to the bag. 79 It takes just a few seconds for experienced thieves to steal your bag, so never give them the opportunity by leaving it unattended.
80 For example, you can divide your cash into three portions and keep some in your small bag, some in a pair of jeans that’s rolled up in your checked baggage, and some in your toiletries bag (化妆包). In this way, even if you lose one stash of money, you will not be left with absolutely no cash.
A．To ensure you get enough storage room, try to board the flight early.
B．Bring it with you whenever you leave your seat.
C．Thieves won’t spend too long on locked bags as it may draw attention to themselves.
D．Cases like this are known as in-flight, or mid-flight thefts.
E．Keep your cash or credit cards in different hiding places.
F．Make sure your bag is easily recognizable so thieves can’t just switch it out with a similar looking bag.

78．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“This is especially important if you have a black, featureless bag. For example, you can sew a symbol on it or write your initials on the bag.(如果你有一个黑色的、毫无特色的包，这一点尤其重要。例如，你可以在上面缝一个符号，或者在包上写上你名字的首字母。)”可判断，本段讲述的是要让自己的包很容易辨认。选项F“Make sure your bag is easily recognizable so thieves can’t just switch it out with a similar looking bag.(确保你的包很容易辨认，这样小偷就不会把它换成一个看起来很像的包。)”与下文内容一致，指的是要确保自己的包很容易辨认。故选F。
79．根据空前“Keep your valuables such as cash, your ID and passport, and jewellery in a small bag that you can place under the seat in front of you. Rest your feet on your bag to make sure no one gets close to the bag.(把你的贵重物品，如现金、身份证、护照和珠宝放在一个小袋子里，放在你前面的座位下面。把你的脚放在你的包上，确保没有人靠近你的包。)”以及空后“It takes just a few seconds for experienced thieves to steal your bag, so never give them the opportunity by leaving it unattended.(经验丰富的小偷只需要几秒钟就能偷走你的包，所以千万不要给他们机会，把包放在无人看管的地方。)”可知，本段讲述的是要看好自己的包，不要让自己的包离开自己的视线。选项B“Bring it with you whenever you leave your seat.(当你离开座位的时候带上它。)”是上文内容的自然延续，同时引出下文内容。故选B。
80．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“For example, you can divide your cash into three portions and keep some in your small bag, some in a pair of jeans that’s rolled up in your checked baggage, and some in your toiletries bag (化妆包). In this way, even if you lose one stash of money, you will not be left with absolutely no cash.(例如，你可以把你的现金分成三份，一些放在你的小包里，一些放在一条牛仔裤里，卷在你的托运行李里，还有一些放在你的洗漱包里。这样，即使你失去了一笔钱，你也不会完全没有现金。)”可知，在本段中，作者主要建议我们不要把现金等放在一起，分下来放，这样即便丢失一份，也不会失去全部。选项E“Keep your cash or credit cards in different hiding places.(把现金或信用卡藏在不同的地方。)”与下文内容一致，指的是不要把现金放在一起。故选E。

【答案】Dear Ms. Yang,
I hope this letter finds you in the best of health and spirits. It’s been a little over two months since I started my high school journey at Ming qi High School, and I wanted to share with you my thoughts on this new chapter of my life.
The high school campus is a vibrant place with a diverse range of activities and a bustling atmosphere. The academic workload is much heavier than that in middle school, with more advanced courses and a greater emphasis on independent learning.
One aspect of high school life that I particularly enjoy is the variety of extracurricular activities available. I have joined the school’s debate club, which not only hones my public speaking skills but also allows me to meet peers with similar interests.
To adapt to this new environment, I am adopting a proactive approach. I will manage my time strictly and effectively and make sure to balance my academic and personal interests.
Warm regards,
Li Hua

附：【录音文字稿】
Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
W: It is a wonderful night. Shall we have some champagne
M: Not if you expect me to drive you home
Q: Where does the conversation take place
W: $100 dollars to fix my air-conditioner I thought you said you could do it for half the price.
M: I did. But it seemed that it was not the problem with the plug. The major part inside the machine went wrong.
Q: How much should the woman pay the man
W: Hi, I have a tourist map. But I still can’t find the entrance to the main gate of the palace.
M: Oh, it is an old map. Follow me. I am going that way myself.
Q: What is the man going to do
W: It is so hot here in summer.
M: Hot This is nothing compared with what I experienced in Hong Kong last year.
Q: What does the man mean
M: I wish I had seen the comedy in person.
W: Had I known that, I would have given you the ticket.
Q: What can we infer from the conversation
M: Jenny, how do you feel about life at college this year
W: Much the same as the last.
Q: What does Jenny mean
M: Did you attend the lecture by the Nobel Prize winner last night
W: Yes, he shared his life experience with us. No wonder he has had such a great achievement.
Q: What can we learn about the lecturer
M: Our neighborhood is going to have a swimming pool soon.
W: It is about time. I don’t know why it has taken so long.
Q: What is the woman’s opinion about the swimming pool
M: I don’t feel like going out. Why don’t we just stay home and watch a football match on TV
W: Come on. You promised to take me out for dinner and to the theater on our wedding anniversary.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation
M: Your sister looks thinner. Is she on a diet
W: No, she just knows how to dress so as to make herself look thinner.
Q: Why does the man think the woman’s sister might be on a diet
Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear several longer conversation(s) and passage(s), and you will be asked several questions on each of the conversation(s) and passage(s). The conversation(s) and passage(s) will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Many people think New York is a noisy city. Now even the insides of taxis are noisy. When you get into a taxi, you hear the voice of a well-known opera singer, sports announcer or Broadway actress giving instructions. The voice of a famous person tells you what to do. One popular singer gives this message: “Cats have nine lives, but you have only one, so fasten your seat belt.” Other voices say things such as “Don’t forget to collect all your belongings.” People often leave handbags, umbrellas in taxis.
There is a good reason for the messages. There are more than 12,000 taxis in New York, and every year taxis get into more than 15,000 accidents. In an accident, people who don’t wear seat belts may easily get hurt. Every year about 11,000 people are injured in this way.
Many people are annoyed by the voices. Taxi drivers in particular dislike the message. “I play the messages 12 hours a day. I hear the same voices 60 times a day. It makes me crazy,” says Tom, “I am a 45-year-old taxi driver. But if I don’t play the messages, I get fined $100.” A lot of passengers complain too. They think it is too noisy.
Questions:
11. Why are the insides of New York’s taxis noisy
12. How many accidents in New York every year involve taxis
13. What will happen if the taxi driver doesn’t play the message
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age” demands people who are flexible and who have good communication skills.
In large companies, many social science majors take up important positions. Studies found that social science majors have achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Moreover, social science majors are most suited to change, which meets the need of the high-speed world we now live in.
Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most popular quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important” by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.
Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.
Questions:
14. Why can social science majors meet the need of the high-speed world
15. What kind of people are welcomed by companies in the job market
16. What is the main idea of the passage
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following longer conversation.
W: How is everything going on, Tony
M: Not bad, Jane. I am accustomed to the new working environment and I am on good terms with my new colleagues.
W: I heard you have just bought an apartment in the suburbs. I am now considering buying a small apartment because my parents will retire soon and they want to live in Shanghai with me.
M: You see, it was terrible at first, especially getting up before dawn to catch the first subway at 6:30 am but it is bearable now because I can spend a lot of time reading on the subway.
W: Sounds good to me. Do you enjoy life in the new neighborhood
M: Sure. It is a new residential area developed by the government and the majority of the residents are young people, a vigorous group, I suppose.
W: Sounds good. How do you pass time on weekends
M: Normally, I check WeChat groups to see if there are any interesting activities. You see, last weekend, I joined a bridge competition and the one before the last, I joined a reading club and we had fun discussing the latest novel written by J.K. Rowling.
W: I see, I will do more research before making the final decision.
M: You can drop by to have a look at my new place if you have time.
W: OK.
Questions:
17. What does Tony say about his new job
18. Why is Jane considering buying an apartment now
19. What did Tony do last weekend
20. Which of the following statements is true
