Beijing’s Forbidden City is a place full of wonder. From its thousands of rooms to its many beautiful artifacts (工艺品), there’s no wonder it’s one of China’s most popular tourist destinations.
But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to serve up surprises.
Since it was built during the Ming Dynasty, it’s estimated that the Forbidden City has survived more than 200 earthquakes.
And while most structures aren’t made to survive natural disasters, let alone ones built hundreds of years ago, it seems that the Forbidden City was built to withstand anything.
A recent television documentary by UK broadcaster Channel 4 explored the skills of the ancient building’s designers. A group of Chinese carpenters and engineers were shown building a model of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces, at one fifth of the size.
To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to the test. It was subjected to an artificial earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale equal to the largest ever recorded quake and survived. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test.
According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City’s strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures’, lies in dougong-a centuries-old building method invented in China.
This is the name for special holders on buildings. Despite being held together without any nails or glue, the holders are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets rough.
“Dougong design is an important earthquake-proof feature of classical Chinese structures because the framework changes in shape when under pressure, much like the shock absorbers (减震器) of a car, ”according to Chinese National Geography.
“Ancient Chinese craftsmen created structures that were both enduring and aesthetically (在美学方面) pleasing［using dougong］, revealing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture,   materials, and structural science.”
The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and cultural significance, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter.
1．What is the article mainly about?
A．What has made the Forbidden City a popular tourist destination.
B．A variety of building methods used in ancient Chinese structures.
C．The characteristics of Chinese architecture during the Ming Dynasty.
D．What has helped the Forbidden City survive so many earthquakes.
2．What does the underlined word “withstand”   mean?
A．keep on B．fight for C．defend against D．stand for
3．The aim of the test in the UK documentary was to________
A．reproduce a real earthquake from the Ming Dynasty
B．prove the strength of ancient Chinese architecture
C．explain the impact of earthquakes on ancient buildings
D．discover a long-lost Chinese building method
4．According to the article, dougong is________
A．a paint that gives Chinese buildings an attractive look
B．a tool used by ancient people to measure earth-quakes
C．special building parts that keep a traditional Chinese building together
D．a building piece located in the center of traditional Chinese house

Working robots are typically big, simple and strong. They are large preprogrammed units working in dangerous jobs. But the idea of putting “cobots” which work in harmony with humans into use has become a reality and has changed robotic products worldwide.
Cobots include robots made of tough materials that provide support for the disabled and software-based assistants for home of online services. With their operating software updated from the Internet，these helpers will become an extension of mobile devices.
Most industrial robots are not designed to deal with unpredictable human jobs. However, by reducing robots down to desktop size and planting them with AI, the next generation of cobots will learn from us and cooperate with us better. Lightweight cobots can work in less space and share themselves with people rather than being caged off. Decreasing costs for robotic systems make them more suitable for small businesses, and their easy set-up makes them simple to deploy. Typical industrial uses for cobots include packing and machine tending. More detailed uses include cleaning dirty samples, picking plants, making tea and coffee and so on.
Still, experts thought that introducing robots would lead to job losses. Some people said that 20 million industrial jobs would be lost worldwide by 2030.Actually,it was not the case. What big companies such as Germany’s Mercedes-Benz discovered was that robots alone were not intelligent enough to keep pace with the demand for special products, which still depends on a large number of skilled staff to control and push the whole progress.
“Unplanned changes to production and safer interaction with humans will then require a step change in robot improvements. It has become necessary to use the new generation of cobots in people’s daily life, and cooperation should be considered as an applicable strategy. When we make people and machines cooperate, we can produce many more products on one production line,” said Markus Schaefer, head of production planning.
5．What can we know about cobots from Paragraph 2?
A．They can do many boring tasks for people. B．They are still at the experimental stage.
C．They are designed to serve the injured. D．They can meet a variety of needs in daily life.
6．Which of the following words can best describe the newly designed cobots?
A．Complex but creative. B．High-cost but useful.
C．Affordable and convenient. D．Small-sized and energy-saving.
7．What can be inferred from Schaefer’s words in the last paragraph?
A．Cobots attract a large number of buyers.
B．Cobots may cause rising unemployment.
C．Cobots bring both benefits and disadvantages.
D．Cobots promoting human-robot cooperation is a trend.
8．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To stress the influence of cobots.
B．To discuss the development of cobots.
C．To enourage improvements in smart technology.
D．To introduce some methods to improve life quality.

Harper Lee (1926-2016) was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird (published in 1960), which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.
For decades, the book was Lee’s only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely influential for generations of US readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one of the most widely taught novels in US schools. In 2007 Lee was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution to literature.
Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared. The world, however, continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she hinted that she had a story in progress.
In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring Scout, the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman tells a story of Scout as an adult. Accusations arose that the 89-year old Lee was not able to consent to (赞成) the manuscript's release, and that various patties had signed on her behalf.
Though Lee moved in 1949 to New York, she spent many years guarding her privacy in Monroeville, which served as clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.
In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke, but recovered and later settled in Monroeville permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014. She was said to eat breakfast every morning at the same fast-food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. Like the countless Americans knowing her only through her work, they will undoubtedly miss her.
12．From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that Harper Lee .
A．once starred in a film adapted from her novel
B．made great contributions to American literature
C．was a most productive writer in America
D．was the greatest writer in American history
13．Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out?
A．Because she was afraid to be criticized.
B．Because she wanted to write another story.
C．Because she didn’t want to be disturbed.
D．Because she needed to care for her sister.
14．From the text, we know Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman__________.
A．continues the story of her earlier story
B．won her lots of honors and awards
C．is adapted into a famous film
D．tells the story of herself

B．She led a lonely life in her later life.
C．She didn’t want to help others.

Apples, oranges and other fruit should be kept in the fridge to last long, new supermarket labels will say, in a move which could tell the end of the traditional fruit bowl. The labels will form part of the Government-backed guidance to help consumers reduce the amount of food they throw by changing advice on packs of supermarket food.
Under the plan supermarkets will introduce a new “Little Blue Fridge” sign for food which should be kept chilled(冷藏), or benefit from being kept in the fridge to prevent it going off. The sign will appear on much food which is not usually kept in the fridge. For example the Waste and Resources Action Program (WRAP) pointed out that apples, oranges and pears, which are usually kept in a fruit bowl, should in fact be stored in the fridge.
Dr. Andrew Parry, a special advisor on food and drink, said, “Most fresh fruit and vegetables will keep fresher for longer if kept in their packaging and in the fridge. Generally a good way to manage fruit at home is to take out enough into the fruit bowl—if you prefer it at room temperature; but use your fridge as cold storage for the majority. This will give you more time to enjoy your food, and help cut down on waste.”
Environment Minister Thérèse Coffey said, “We know that confusing(难以理解的) labels can lead to food waste by suggesting that edible items need to be thrown away sooner. This new guidance will make packaging much clearer for consumers, saving them money and reducing waste. I encourage all food businesses, large and small, to use this guidance to help them put the right date mark on food and help to guide people on the freezing products which are crucial(至关重要的)to reducing the amount of edible food thrown away.”
Heather Hancock, chairman at the Food Standards Agency, said, “I think this clear guidance can help deal with food waste, without damaging the safety of food. It will help businesses supply food that is properly described and stored, and safely provided to consumers.”
16．According to the text, what is in line with the goal of the Government-backed guidance?
A．It encourages business. B．It lowers goods prices.
C．It helps cut down on waste. D．It improves product quality.
17．What’s the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The plan newly put forward by the government.
B．The common fruit and vegetables kept in the fridge.
C．Effects of the new “Little Blue Fridge” sign on food.
D．Supermarkets’ reaction to the Government-backed guidance.
18．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “edible” in Paragraph 4?
A．Eatable. B．Bad. C．Fresh. D．Packaged.
19．What’s Heather Hancock’s attitude towards the Government-backed guidance?
A．Critical. B．Cold. C．Positive. D．Disappointed.

For a few seconds on a sunny afternoon last April，renewables broke a record for California’s main electric network，providing enough power to supply 94.5% of demand. The moment was praised as a milestone on the path to decarbonisation(脱碳).But what happens when the sunsets and the winds stop?
Handling the varied power production of renewables will require cheap storage for hours or even days at a time. New types of iron-based batteries might be up to the task.
Many firms are engaged in developing these kinds of batteries. Oregon- based ESS,whose batteries can store energy for between four and twelve hours，launched its first network-scale projects in 2021.Massachusetts-based Form Energy,which raised $ 240 million in 2021，has batteries that store power for up to 100 hours. Its first installation will be a one-megawatt(兆瓦)pilot plant in Minnesota，planned to be completed in 2023.
Both companies rely on batteries that use iron，one of the most abundant materials on the planet. This means that their offerings could eventually be cheaper than other network storage candidates. Form says its batteries could eventually cost just $ 20 per kilowatt-hour，lower than even optimistic predictions for lithium-ion(锂离子)batteries in the next several decades.
There are still challenges to address：iron batteries typically have low efficiency，meaning a good part of the energy that’s put into them can’t be recovered. Unwanted side reactions can also degrade them over time. But if iron-based batteries can be applied widely，at a low enough cost，they could help power more of the world with renewable energy.
20．What is the author’s purpose of raising a question in the first paragraph?
A．To introduce the topic of the article. B．To support the topic of this paragraph.
C．To highlight the importance of energy. D．To inspire more scientists to study.
21．How does the author develop Paragraph 3?
A．By making classifications. B．By analysing cause and effect.
C．By giving examples. D．By explaining definitions.
22．What do we know about the iron-based batteries in the passage?
A．They are bound to quickly replace all the existing batteries.
B．They are of great help in spite of several unknown weaknesses.
C．They are believed to be applied more widely in the remote areas.
D．They are expected to supply more energy at a much lower cost.
23．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Competition：Two Battery Companies
B．Possibility：Long-lasting Network Batteries
C．Challenge：New Battery with Low Efficiency
D．Milestone：Success in Decarbonisation

“Everything happens for the best.” My mother said whenever things weren’t going my way.” Don’t worry. One day your luck will change.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after I had finished my college education. I had decided to try for a job in a radio station. One day, I wanted to host a sports program. I went to Chicago and knocked at the door of every station. But I got turned down every time. In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn’t got enough experience. “Get some work in a small station and work your way up,” she said.
In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn’t got enough experience. “Get some work in a small station and work your way up,” she said.
I went back home. I couldn’t get a job there, either. Then my dad told me a businessman had opened a store and needed someone to help him. But again, I didn’t get the job.
I felt really down. “Your luck will change,” Mon said to me. Dad lent me the car to help me to look for my job. I tried another radio station in Iowa. But the owner, a nice man, told me he had already had someone.
As I left his office, I asked, “How can someone be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man called, “What did you mean? Do you know anything about football?” He put me in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game. I succeeded.
On my way home, Mom’s words came back to me, “One day your luck will change, Son. And when it happens, you’ll feel good because of all the hard work you have done.” At that moment I knew just what she meant.

If you see a group pf people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station,you don’t need to feel surprised.They are a flash mob (快闪族), which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time,   and then quickly break up. They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network. At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some   distractions(消遣) such as waving their hands and exchanging books, Then, they quickly break up before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.
Bill Lasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3, 2003 - after the first attempt was foiled at Macy’s department store. Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters (起时髦的人), and call attention to the cultural atmosphere.

Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction. They also have great economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.
The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular．People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

Traveling is a very good activity. When you are fed up with your work and are allowed to take a holiday, you can go to the beautiful spots to enjoy the beauty of nature and the special character of other cities. You can breathe fresh air, visit some places of interest, meet different people and make friends with them. Then you will forget your tiredness and troubles and be much healthier. As a result, you will feel fully relaxed and you will have the energy to undertake the new tasks waiting for you.
But sometimes, traveling is not an enjoyable thing. For example, when the bus or car you take has a bad accident, you may be trapped in it and it wastes your time. What’s time, the weather can be changeable. If you are climbing a mountain, it may rain suddenly. You may catch a cold. The worst thing is that you may have your money stolen and you may have an injury. All these are terrible things that can happen to a tourist.
Therefore, before going on a trip, you must prepare yourself carefully. Firstly, you must have clear information about the weather. Secondly, you should choose a good companion so that you can help each other. Thirdly, you must be careful everywhere and try to avoid accidents. If you do these, you can enjoy your travels better and reduce unnecessary troubles.
