The great civilizations of the past have left a legacy of constructions that still stand out and inspire in our current age.
Abu Simbel, Aswan, Egypt
Abu Simbel is a temple carved into solid rock above the Nile flood plain. Though relocated in the 1960s due to the creation of Lake Nasser, it remains an awe-inspiring monument. The complex features two massive temples built by King Ramses Ⅱ. Its impressive statues and detailed wall carvings reflect ancient Egyptian art and religious beliefs. Eltz Castle, Wierschem, Germany
Eltz Castle is one of the few Rhine castles never destroyed. Owned by the same family since records began, it sits on a 70m-high rock spur with eight dramatic towers. Offering views over the Elzbach Valley and Eltz River, it is one of the most charming castles in Germany and even the world.
Borobudur, Java, Indonesia
This 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple complex, built during the rule of the Syailendra Dynasty, is a prime example of Javanese Buddhist architecture. The structure is decorated with over 2,600 relief panels and about 500 Buddha statues, arranged around a large central dome. It remains the largest Buddhist temple in the world.
The Forbidden City, Beijing, China
Built in the early 15th century, the Forbidden City is a vast palace complex of regal (帝王的) halls, ceremonial courtyards, gardens and living quarters, which served as the home of Chinese emperors and their households for about 500 years. Today the palace complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s largest collection of heritage wooden buildings.
21. Which is privately owned
A. Abu Simbel. B. Eltz Castle. C. Borobudur. D. The Forbidden City.
22. What is special about the Forbidden City’s architecture
A. It was built in the 1500s.
B. It has been the emperors’ living area.
C. It remains unchanged since it was built.
D. It’s the largest wooden building complex.

B
In the summer of 2019, I decided to get a job. I sent my CV to every shop and cafe in my village. Luckily, I was offered an interview at a local restaurant.
The interview went well, but before I left, the hiring manager asked me to try out serving a customer. "Just give her the items shown next to her order number on that screen," he said, pointing to a monitor on the wall.
To my horror, I couldn't make out a word on the display. The customer stood impatiently as I froze. Unsurprisingly, I received a rejection email the next morning.
My summer dreams were crushed – and more importantly, I realized I was disabled.
I was born with poor eyesight. As a child, I struggled to see the board in class, even from the front row. I masked this by copying notes from my friends. As I got older, I buried the secret even more. I desperately tried to hide my visual impairment (视力缺陷).
However, when I got back from that job interview, I made the first step toward coping with life with a disability: acceptance. From my doctor, I learned that glasses wouldn't help and that I would never be allowed to drive. Each new detail felt like a fresh blow.
For the first time, I read my official diagnosis – retinal dystrophy (视网膜营养不良). To my surprise, I was filled with relief.
The next step was abandoning the hyper-independence (过度独立) I had developed over the years. I had to learn to ask for help, something I'd always avoided.
As I started reaching out for help, the love and support of my friends overwhelmed me. They boosted my confidence so that I no longer felt embarrassed to ask for assistance. When I asked strangers to help read cafe menus or cross the road, I was surprised at how kind they were.
Today, I'm much more confident than I was at 16. Though my vision can't be changed, I treat every barrier as a new challenge. I speak up when something isn't accessible and ask for adjustments. If I feel shy about my vision, I remember that there are over 2 million people in the UK with sight loss. I'm not just speaking up for myself but for the millions like me.
24. How did the author cover up his eyesight problem when he was young
A. He sat at the back of the classroom
B. He copied notes from his classmates
C. He wore special glasses secretly
D. He seldom took notes in class
25. What feeling did the author have when seeing the official diagnosis
A. Sadness B. Anger C. Relief D. Fear
26. What used to be the author's long-time personality
A. Being too independent
B. Being easy-going
C. Being shy to make friends
D. Being careless in daily life
27. What does the author do to deal with difficulties now
A. He gives up easily when facing barriers
B. He dares to ask for proper adjustments
C. He still tries hard to hide his disability
D. He refuses to communicate with strangers
C
New psychology research points to the factors that explain why we find particular poems aesthetically pleasing. “While it may seem obvious that individual taste matters in judgments of poetry, we found certain factors consistently influence how much a poem will be enjoyed.”
Aesthetics (美学), the basis of what we find appealing or not, play an important role in our everyday lives. However, little is known about how we make these judgments. The researchers sought to answer an age-old question — “Why do we like what we like ” — by measuring what we find aesthetically pleasing in poetry.
To do this, the team had more than 400 participants read and rate poems of two genres — haiku and sonnet — with the aim of understanding the factors that best predicted the aesthetic appeal of the poems. After reading each poem, participants answered questions about the poem’s vividness (“How vivid is the imagery evoked from this poem ”), emotional arousal (“How relaxing or stimulating is this poem ”), emotional valence (“How positive or negative is the content of this poem ”), and aesthetic appeal (“How enjoyable or aesthetically appealing did you find this poem ”).
Their results showed that vividness of mental imagery was the best predictor of aesthetic appeal — poems that evoked greater imagery were more pleasing. Emotional valence also predicted aesthetic appeal, though to a lesser extent; specifically, poems that were found to be more positive were generally found to be more appealing. By contrast, emotional arousal did not have a clear relationship to aesthetic appeal.
“The vividness of a poem consistently predicted its aesthetic appeal,” notes Starr, author of Feeling Beauty: The Neuroscience of Aesthetic Experience. “Therefore, it seems that vividness of mental imagery may be a key factor influencing what we like more broadly.” “While limited to poetry,” she adds, “our work sheds light into which facts most influence our aesthetic judgments and paves the way for future research investigating how we make such judgments in other fields.”
28．What did the researchers ask the participants to do
A．Evaluate poems of haiku and sonnet. B．Write the aesthetic appeal of poems.
C．Explain factors of emotional valence. D．Ask questions about the poem’s vividness.
29．Which of the following is true according to paragraph 4
A．Poems with more negative content are more appealing.
B．Emotional arousal is negatively related to aesthetic appeal.
C．Emotional valence is the most important predictor of aesthetic appeal.
D．Vividness of mental imagery has the strongest connection with aesthetic appeal.
30．What can be inferred from Starr’s words
A．The research will help explore aesthetic judgments in other fields.
B．The finding of vividness being a key factor is only applicable to poetry.
C．Emotional valence should be further studied in the context of other art forms.
D．The research has little value for understanding aesthetic judgments in other areas.
31．What is the main purpose of this passage
A．To introduce different types of poems. B．To discuss the importance of aesthetics.
C．To show the findings of aesthetic appeal. D．To persuade people to admire the poems.
D
The United States contribution to coastal plastic pollution world-wide is significantly larger than previously thought, possibly by as much as five times, according to a study published Friday.
According to the research, published in Science Advances, two factors contributed to the sharp increase: Americans are using more plastic than ever and the current study included pollution produced by United States exports of plastic waste, while the earlier one did not.
The United States, which does not have sufficient infrastructure (基础建设) to handle its recycling demands at home, exports about half of its recyclable waste. Of the total exported, about 88 percent ends up in countries considered to have inadequate waste management.
“When you consider how much of our plastic waste isn’t actually recyclable because it is low-value, polluted or difficult to process, it’s not surprising that a lot of it ends up polluting the environment,” said the study’s lead author, Kara Lavender Law, research professor of oceanography at Sea Education Association, in a statement.
The study estimates that in 2016, the United States contributed between 1.1 and 2.5 million tons of plastic waste to the oceans through a combination of littering, dumping and mismanaged exports.
At a minimum, that’s almost double the total estimated waste in the team’s previous study. At the high end, it would be a fivefold increase over the earlier estimate.
The ranges are wide partly because “there’s no real standard for being able to provide good quality data on collection and disposal of waste in general,” said Ted Siegler, a resource economist at DSM Environmental Solutions, a consulting firm, and an author of the study.
Mr. Siegler said the researchers had evaluated waste-disposal practices in countries around the world and used their “best professional judgment” to determine the lowest and highest amounts of plastic waste likely to escape into the environment. They settled on a range of 25 percent to 75 percent.
Tony Walker, an associate professor at the Dalhousie University School for Resource and Environmental Studies in Halifax, Nova Scotia, said that analyzing waste data can amount to a “data minefield (危机四伏的局面)” because there are no data standards across municipalities. Moreover, once plastic waste is shipped overseas, he said, data is often not recorded at all.
Nonetheless, Dr. Walker, who was not involved in the study, said it could offer a more accurate accounting of plastic pollution than the previous study, which likely underestimated the United States’ contribution. “They’ve put their best estimate, as accurate as they can be with this data,” he said, and used ranges, which underscores that the figures are estimates.
32. According to the research, what has made the US contribution to coastal plastic pollution higher than thought
A. More unrecyclable plastic waste has been produced.
B. Some once excluded data is now included in the study.
C. Americans have begun to export plastic waste recently.
D. People have no device at home to dispose of plastic waste.
33. The total estimated plastic waste was according to the team’s previous study.
A. about 0.26 million tons B. about 0.55 million tons
C. about 1.1 million tons D. about 2.2 million tons
34. Why is there a wide range in the team’s estimate
A. Countries around the world vary a lot in the amount of plastic waste.
B. More plastic waste has escaped into the environment than before.
C. No such data-related standard is widely acknowledged.
D. The team hopes to give a possible prospect.
35. It can be inferred from the passage that Tony Walker .
A. doesn’t think the team’s estimates are that accurate
B. underestimates the US contribution to plastic waste
C. doesn’t think that the team should provide such estimates
D. feels regretful that he hasn’t been involved in the study

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。
We've all been there – reaching into the fridge to find a forgotten cucumber shriveled (干瘪) beyond recognition, or a half-eaten bag of baby spinach quietly collapsing into mush. Australian households throw out almost 2.5m tonnes of food every year – or the equivalent of 7.7m meals a day. 36 .
Over the past decade, I've developed habits that help reduce food waste. Here are some ideas that may work.
Stop food waste at the source
The best way to prevent food waste is to avoid bringing too much into your house. 37 .
I keep a digital shopping list on my phone, adding things as they run out so it's always up to date. I stick to my list, only buying the things I actually need.
Growing some food also helps me prevent waste. I prioritize plants that spoil quickly, especially leafy greens. 38 .
Eat it before you bin it
I check my fridge regularly for items that will soon go off, moving them to the front so they're the first thing I see. The same goes for the pantry (食品储藏室). 39 .
For families, I recommend bright yellow Use It Up tape (or a homemade version), which you can stick on items in the fridge as a simple visual reminder.
____40_____
I always follow the principle “produce no waste” by giving scraps (残羹剩饭) a second life. For example, when dealing with old vegetables, I'll make simple pickles (泡菜) to keep it shelf-stable. I also collect vegetable offcuts in a big freezer bag, and when it's full, I use a slow cooker to make soup.
A. And that starts at the supermarket
B. Limit or switch the items on your list
C. Turn food scraps into something delicious
D. They're easy to grow, and I can pick what I need at anytime
E. If a staple is starting to age, I plan a meal to use it up
F. Donating unwanted food to local charities can also be a choice
G. While the scale is discouraging, we each can find solutions at home

Wilbur was 12 years old and Orville 8 when their father brought home a toy. It was a rubber 17 made in France. They liked it so much that they played with it until it broke. Immediately, they began 18 copies. They were hooked on aviation! In 1900, as young men, having built their first glider (滑翔机), they decided to 19 it out at Kitty Hawk on Kill Devil Hills. It 20 consistent strong winds and the somewhat cushioning (减震的) effects of sand. That first flight was unsuccessful, but it didn’t stop them. After several more tries, on December 17, 1903, with a much 21 plane, they risked their lives to fly it in the wind. They 22 flying the world’s first powered airplane. Beginning at 10:35 a.m. that day, Orville 23 it 120 feet in about 12 seconds! At 12:00, Wilbur flew it 852 feet in 59 seconds! Johnny Moore, one of the five men who 24 them that morning (in charge of dragging the plane across the sand for positioning), ran to the village of Kitty Hawk crying. “They’ve made it!” This was the 25 of aviation! At this time, Wilbur was 36 and Orville 32. Roughly 24 years had passed since their father gave them that 26 !
If you have a dream, work at it. If it doesn’t turn out as 27 , try again! Stick to what you want 28 . Don’t ever give up! 29 in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not. Nothing is more 30 than unsuccessful men with talent. Persistence and determination alone make a difference.

The deadline was two weeks away , and everything seemed to be going well. our club spent weekends capturing beautiful shot sof the school garden , therecycling station , and students practicing low_carbon lifestyles. However , three days before the deadline , suzie sent mea message saying their club hadn’t finished the captions yet. Ⅰ felt anxious__without captions, the photos would make little sense. Ⅰ replied angrily , blaming them for being irresponsible and threatening to cancel the cooperation.
suzie didn’t respond immediately. Later that evening , she sent a long message explaining that two of their key members had caught a heavy cold and that they’d been struggling to keep up. But Ⅰ was too upset to read it carefully , so Ⅰ just ignored her. The next day , Ⅰ told my club members we’d finish the captions ourselves, even though it meant extra work.
The photo exhibition turned out to bea success, but Ⅰ hadn’t spoken to suzie since that argument. Every time Ⅰ met her in the hallway , she’d look away quietly. A month later , our teacher announced that the school would select a team to participate in a national environmental photography competition , and that we needed to work with the Environmental protection club again.
Ⅰ hesitated fora long time. Ⅰ knew suzie was the best person to lead the caption team , but Ⅰ was embarrassed about how Ⅰ’d treated her. My club members encouraged me to talk to her , saying that holding a grudge (怨恨) wouldn’t solve anything.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为 150 个左右 ;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ⅰ finally gathered my courage and walked up to suzie after class. with suzie’s help , we worked smoothly for the competition.参考答案

I finally gathered my courage and walked up to Suzie after class. I apologized sincerely for my rude words and admitted that I d been too impulsive冲动的 to listen to her explanation. Suzie looked surprised at first, and then smiled gently. “It s okay,” she said. “I know you were under pressure for the exhibition. We should have communicated better too.” She told me she d been looking forward to working with our club again. We quickly agreed on the division of labor: Our club would focus on taking themed photos, while hers would handle the captions and background research.
With Suzie s help, we worked smoothly for the competition. Her club not only designed thoughtful深思熟虑的 captions but also suggested creative ways to present the photos. During our cooperation, I learned to listen patiently and appreciate others efforts. Whenever we faced difficulties, we supported each other instead of blaming. Finally, our entry进入、条目、参赛作品 won second prize in the national competition. At the award ceremony颁奖典礼, Suzie and I looked at each other, sharing a smile that held pride. Through the experience, I realized that true cooperation isn t just about splitting work, but about understanding, respecting, and forgiving each other.
