Chinese elements highlighted at the Olympic closing ceremony
The curtains came down at the closing ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing's Bird's Nest. During the ceremony, many Chinese cultural elements were put into the design of the grand show, expressing some Chinese romance. Let's take a look.
Festival lanterns
The closing ceremony began with a large snowflake torch appearing in the sky, echoing the moment from the opening ceremony. Then accompanied by cheerful music, children hung traditional Chinese festival lanterns, lighting up the emblem of the Winter Olympics, which originated from the Chinese character for winter, "dong".
Chinese knots
The 12 Chinese zodiac-themed ice cars created an outline of a Chinese knot with its wheel trails. And then it was enlarged, and an enormous "Chinese knot" was presented using digital AR technology. Each ribbon could be clearly seen, and all of the ribbons twisted together, symbolising unity and a good fortune.
Fish and riches
During the closing ceremony, a children's choir from a mountainous area of Fuping County in Hebei Province performed again, this time with different clothes. The Chinese paper-cut of double fish was seen on their clothes, meaning "rich and have a surplus in the next year" in Chinese culture.
Willow branches for farewell
In ancient times, Chinese people broke a willow branch and gave it to their friends, family or relatives when seeing them off, as willow sounds like "stay" in Mandarin. Willow branches appeared at the closing ceremony, expressing Chinese people's hospitality and bidding farewell to the world guests.
21. Which of the following was inspired by a Chinese character
A. The festival lanterns. B. The emblem.
C. The snowflake torch. D. The cheerful music.
22. What did "Chinese knots" and "Fish and riches" have in common
A. They both employed AR technology. B. They both symbolised a wealthy life.
C. They were both created by ice cars. D. They were both performed by children.
23. What can be adopted as a symbol of departure
A. Festival lanterns. B. Chinese knots. C. Fish and riches. D. Willow branches.
B
The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism（相对主义）, are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.
History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kind are different from today's popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.
In an essay, David Hume argued that because "the general principles of taste are uniform in human nature", the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.
Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.
24. What can we learn about cultural relativism from the text
A. It introduces different cultural values.
B. It relates artistic values to local conditions.
C. It explains the history of artistic works in detail.
D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.
25. Why are the artists mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To show that great works of art can go beyond national boundaries.
B. To show that history gives artworks special appeal to set them apart.
C. To show that popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great arts.
D. To show that great artists are skilled at combining various cultures.
26. According to Hume, why can some works of art exist for centuries
A. They are results of scientific studies.
B. They establish some general principles of art.
C. They are created by the world's greatest artists.
D. They appeal to unchanging features of human nature.
27. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the text
A. Are artistic values universal B. Are popular arts permanent
C. Is human nature uniform D. Is cultural relativism scientific
C
Randall Bartlett, a native of Los Angeles, sat under the arched rooftop of a traditional Chinese scholar's studio, occasionally turning a page of his book. The scene was in the reopened Liu Fang Yuan garden at the Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens. For him, the garden brings to life the Chinese philosophies he learned from books.
The director of the Huntington's Center for East Asian Garden Studies said, "The idea for Liu Fang Yuan goes back to the 1980s with the initial intention of creating a collection of Chinese plants." But after research, he realized plants alone were not sufficient to demonstrate the essence of a Chinese garden. Eventually, it was decided to model a garden on 16th- and 17th-century scholarly retreats（僻静处）in Suzhou.
The decision was made partly because of the fame of classical gardens in Suzhou, but also because similarities were found between the Huntington and Suzhou gardens. The director said that the founder of the Huntington Library was a successful US businessman who used his fortune to collect rare books, artworks and to create gardens. "Many Suzhou gardens were also created by rich people who tried to pursue a scholarly lifestyle," he added.
To preserve the character of the Suzhou gardens, the Huntington Library sought help from Suzhou, triggering collaboration between US and Chinese architects, contractors and designers. In all stages of construction, artisans from Suzhou came to work on details of the venue. At the site, Chinese and US artisans often exchanged ideas and conversation.
"The Americans spoke either English or Spanish, while the Chinese artisans spoke putonghua or suzhouhua (the Suzhou dialect). To communicate, they relied a lot on sign language, so that was kind of an interesting thing to see," said the director.
Now, it is meaningful to see how people from local communities interact with the garden. Some people come every morning to walk the garden. Some people bring their children or grandchildren to the garden every weekend. And a lot of volunteers come to all sorts of different lectures about Chinese culture regularly. By exposing its visitors to arts and literature, Liu Fang Yuan goes beyond international boundaries and bridges the cultural gaps between the two countries.
28. What do we know about Liu Fang Yuan
A. It was completed in the 16th century.
B. It used to be a scholarly retreat in Suzhou.
C. It was constructed by Suzhou artisans alone.
D. It promotes cultural exchanges between the US and China.
29. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The introduction to the founder. B. The fame of classical gardens in Suzhou.
C. The features of a scholarly lifestyle. D. The reasons for modeling a Suzhou garden.
30. What does the underlined word "collaboration" in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Negotiation. B. Cooperation. C. Inspiration. D. Dedication.
31. Why are local people's interactions with the garden mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To show its cultural significance. B. To detail its architectural features.
C. To promote its diverse activities. D. To boost its international fame.
D
As an Internet influencer, there seems to be nothing special about Miquela Sousa, popularly known as Lil Miquela. She lives in Los Angeles and posts pictures of herself sporting fashionable clothes. But Miquela isn't real — she is a virtual celebrity.
Her fans don't seem to mind — she has millions of followers on social media. And she has released several singles since her debut single Not Mine.
It's kind of curious that in a time when authenticity and "being real" are valued more than ever, "fake" celebrities like Miquela are appreciated and seen as icons.
Perhaps the reason for Miquela's popularity lies behind the fame of a similar star Hatsune Miku. She is a recognisable character in Japanese pop culture, known as a singer. Even though Hatsune's no more than a 3D figure projected（投射）onto the stage, her fans are more than willing to pay to actually see her "in person", because to them, she's better than human singers. "She has human parts, but she transcends human limitations. She's the great post-human pop star," a fan named Delores said.
Critics may say that 3D stars could never replace humans, but when it comes to being authentic, are humans really the best example of how to do it
Some people edit their photos before posting them online, and some tend to create a fantasy that they're living a perfect life by letting people only see the brighter side of it.
"Miquela is no less real to me than any other Internet stranger with whom I've interacted," a reporter wrote on a website. "Her existence in itself represents a new breed of influencer — someone who is breaking the boundaries of what is real and what is fake."
32. Who is Miquela Sousa
A. She's a sports star with good looks.
B. She's a human singer with millions of fans.
C. She's a virtual character with musical talent.
D. She's an animated figure created by a Japanese company.
33. Why does the author mention Hatsune Miku in Paragraph 4
A. To show the similarities 3D stars share.
B. To make a comparison with Miquela Sousa.
C. To explain why 3D stars are well received.
D. To detail how to overcome human limitations.
34. How does Delores describe Hatsune Miku
A. Fake. B. Charming. C. Hard-working. D. Optimistic.
35. What can be concluded from the last three paragraphs
A. 3D stars will match the authenticity of humans one day.
B. Animated celebrities can't go beyond human limitations.
C. Human celebrities have a greater influence than animated ones.
D. 3D stars' public personalities may be just as authentic as humans'.

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。
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 36 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn't entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing worked. 37 Our building even had a tiny elevator with a female voice that said, "Ouverture des portes," in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's a shame I don't have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 38 French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
39 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, the quality of life is much more important than efficiency. You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. 40 When do these people work The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Parents everywhere praise their kids. By giving kids a lot of praise, parents think they're building their kids' confidence, when, in fact, it may be just the opposite. Too much praise can backfire（产生事与愿违的结果）and, when given in a way that's insincere, make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents' praise has put them.
Still, don't go too far in the other direction. Not giving enough praise can be just as damaging as giving too much. Kids will feel like they're not good enough or that parents don't care. As a result, they may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments.
So what is the right amount of praise Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity. If praise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome, you can give it as often as your kid does something that deserves a verbal reward. You should especially recognise your kid's efforts to work hard to achieve a goal. One thing to remember is that it's the process not the end product that matters.
Your son may not be the best basketball player in his team. But if he's out there every day and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses. Praising the effort can also mean recognising your kid when he or she has worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or finish a book report. But whatever it is, praise should be given on a case-by-case basis and be proportionate（相称的）to the amount of effort your kid has put into it.

One possible version:
Parents tend to go to extremes when it comes to praising their kids.（要点1）Yet, both too much and too little praise can be equally damaging.（要点2）When giving praise, parents should be sincere and concentrate on the process instead of the result.（要点3）Similarly, they ought to give praise for how much effort their kids have invested in the work they’re involved in.（要点4）

M: Hello, everyone! My name is John. I’m the teaching assistant for this lab session. Let me explain a little about it. As you may know already, it’s a required meeting once a week. I expect you to do all the experiments and keep the results in your lab notebook. I’ll collect the notebooks every two weeks. But the most important information I want to give you now is about safety.
First of all, you must wear shoes that cover your feet in the lab. Tennis shoes are okay. Also, don’t wear loose clothes, long scarves, big necklaces or loose belts. They may get caught in something or fall into liquid.
Another thing to do for safety is cleaning up. Be sure to put the waste in the correct containers. We can’t mix liquid with paper. This is extremely important. I don’t want any fires in this room.
You are responsible for washing out your own lab equipment and putting it away. If you don’t do this, I will take away points from your grade. Nobody’s going to clean up after you. Okay, any questions
