Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist (气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm: “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.”
Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having an air-conditioner. The trick, she said, was to take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida, people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents.
Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said.
“Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said, “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’”
4. Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as _______.
A. poetic but abstract B. scientific but tricky
C. encouraging and professional D. strange and inaccurate
5. Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”
A. She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts.
B. She was unable to respond to people’s questions.
C. She needed online resources for air-conditioning.
D. She missed watching news about the hurricane.
6. What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather
A. Watching weather reports on television.
B. Reading books about hurricanes at school.
C. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy.
D. Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy.
7. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world.
B. People online don’t understand her deep love for her home.
C. She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion.
D. Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown.
C
The book, Deep Work, by Cal Newport, which is meant to advocate deep work, consists of the philosophical basis of deep work and why it works, and then to teach you how to lead a deep life if you realize it is a good life.
Deep work refers to professional activities performed in a state of undisturbed concentration that push your cognitive (认知的) abilities to their limit. These efforts create new value, improve your skill and hard to copy. The ability to perform deep work is becoming increasingly rare and at exactly the same time it is becoming increasingly valuable in our economy. As a result, the few who develop the skill, and make it the central part of their working life, will succeed. A deep life is a good life, any way you look at it. Who you are, what you think, feel, and do, what you love is the sum of what you focus on.
Main elements of intentional practice of deep work are identified as follows: your attention is focused tightly on a specific skill you’re trying to improve or an idea you are trying to master; you receive feedback so you can correct your approach to keep your attention exactly where it’s productive.
To succeed with deep work you must learn to feel comfortable resisting disturbing stimuli. Since you have a limited amount of willpower that is decreasing as you use it, the easiest way to consistently start deep work sessions is to transform them into a simple regular habit. To master the art of deep work,therefore, you must take back control of your time and attention from the many activities that attempt to steal them.
The ability to concentrate is a skill that gets valuable things done. If you’re struggling to activate your mind to its fullest capacity to create things that matter, then you’ll discover depth generates a life rich with productivity and meaning.
8. What is the book aimed at
A. Teaching concentrating skills. B. Advocating concentrated work.
C. Solving philosophical problems. D. Encouraging intentional practice.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The value of creative efforts. B. The significance of deep work.
C. The way to succeed in economy. D. The ability to perform deep work.
10. What is important to the practice of deep work
A. Performing professional activities.
B. Pushing cognitive abilities to the limit.
C. Focusing your attention on your target.
D. Receiving feedback to get encouragement.
11. What does the author probably suggest doing
A. Trying to join in more activities.
B. Developing skills of concentration.
C. Feeling comfortable with disturbance.
D. Spending more time on valuable things.
D
Victories are temporary in China’s fast-changing economy. Earlier this month Colin Huang, the founder of Pinduoduo, became China’s richest man. The company, founded in 2015, today is China’s third-largest e-commerce firm by sales, behind only and Alibaba.
Mr Huang’s time atop China’s rich list was, however, brief. On August 26th Pinduoduo’s share price decreased by nearly 30% after it reported sales for the quarter from April to June fell short of the market’s high expectations and gave warning that a long-run decline in profitability was “unavoidable”.
Pinduoduo’s misfortunes are set against a backdrop of weakening consumer spending in China. In June sales from the “618” shopping festival fell for the first time, despite a number of platforms extending their sales periods this year. A fierce price war is adding to the trouble. Visit any Chinese e-commerce site and you will be impressed by signs advertising huge discounts and promising the cheapest deals petition has grown more intense because of attacks into e-commerce by short-video apps such as Douyin and Xiaohongshu. Some merchants are piling yet more pressure on the industry. Some Chinese e-commerce companies juice their sales by fining merchants for late deliveries or product mismatches. Last month hundreds of suppliers surrounded the offices of Temu, Pinduoduo’s foreign branch, in the southern city of Guangzhou to protest against such punishment.
Pinduoduo may be hoping that international expansion will rescue it from deteriorating conditions at home. That will not be straightforward. Although the number of people using Temu, which launched in America in 2022, has rocketed, owing in no small part to the vast amounts it has spent on advertising, turning that into profit has proved trickier.
What is more, America’s e-commerce Amazon is fighting back against the Chinese upstart. During its Prime Day sale in July it offered discounts of up to 70% on some products. It is also reportedly planning to launch a discount section on its site which will feature cheap items.
12. Why did Pinduoduo’s share price decrease sharply
A. China is experiencing a major economic boom.
B. Colin Huang failed to run the company well.
C. Sales for the second quarter didn’t meet the expectations.
D. Consumers were unwilling to spend money on the platform.
13. What difficulty is Pinduoduo faced with
A. The rapid rise of and Alibaba.
B. The pressure from consumers and suppliers.
C. The invasion of many overseas e-commerce giants.
D. The intense price competition and weak purchasing power.
14. What does the underlined word “deteriorating” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Declining. B. Alarming. C. Increasing. D. Changing.
15. How does the author find Pinduoduo’s expansion of international market
A. Hopeful. B. Cautious. C. Unclear. D. Favourable.

Museums can be overwhelming. With thousands of pieces there, how do you know which to focus on And once you see a piece you like, how do you interact with it Here is some advice on how to have a meaningful connection when you look at art.
Get up close and personal.____16____ Therefore, take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not come through on a computer screen. That includes its look and the feel of its surface, the marks made by the brush and the path your eyes take when viewing the work.
Stand back. Next, take a few steps back, stand in the center — and observe what’s happening in the big picture. What’s going on in the piece ____17____ What are they doing How are they related
Look at it from an angle. Then try looking at an artwork from its sides, because you might catch something you might not have seen straight on. If it’s something like The Ambassadors by Holbein at The National Gallery in London, and if you stand to the side, you’ll see something that from front on looks very different. ____18____ That’s called anamorphic art.
Move your body. If you’re looking at a painting you can take a finger to the air and trace the outline of the figure or the movement of the brushstrokes. ____19____ This can help you see and feel what it might be like to make this artwork from the artist’s perspective.
Consider the subject of the art. That can have a profound effect on how you feel about the work and perhaps you can learn something from it. Take the example of Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting, Christina’s World, which depicts (描绘) a girl with a muscle disease crawling across a field to get to her home in the distance. The painting personifies (体现) determination.____20____
A. So just keep an open mind.

D. How are the figures in the piece arranged
E. We have the luxury of seeing the real thing at a museum.

57. 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。
My brother and I are only a year apart in age. When we were little, people would ask if we were twins. We lived in the mountains and only had each other for a long time, so we weren't just brother and sister, we were best friends.
Everything changed after our parents divorced. He went to live with my father, I with my mother. Sometimes he visited us and sometimes I visited them, but we grew more distant each time. By the time I was thirteen, we'd stopped hanging out altogether. I think the only time we ever spoke was at Christmas, and it was all polite but painfully awkward, like he was a complete stranger instead of my little brother.
Several years later, after being accepted to a major university three thousand miles away, I made a bold plan: to drive across the country on my own. The idea of traveling alone thrilled me, filling me with excitement and a hint of nervousness, though I knew that the road could be lonely and unpredictable — endless stretches without seeing a single person, and sometimes even wild animals crossing out of nowhere. My parents, however, thought it would be safer if my brother came along as my travel companion on the long drive to college. Needless to say, we were both furious (愤怒的) about the idea. The last thing either of us wanted was to spend a week in a car together — he, with a sister he barely knew, and I, with a “babysitter” I never asked for. But it was settled.
Two weeks later, we set off. For the first six hundred miles, neither of us spoke much unless absolutely necessary.The silence was thick with tension, and it didn't take long before we argued over what music to play, how fast to drive, and when to take breaks, each of us stubbornly sticking to our own way, rolling our eyes and sighing in frustration.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Just when I thought the trip would be unbearable, something unexpected happened.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Still trembling from the accident, I realized he was holding my hand.
