After graduation, she had been a travel vlogger and worked for a TV station.During a visit to a museum in Japan in 2019, Lin was impressed by how beautifully the disassembled（拆分）parts of a lamp were arranged in a frame, and later thought she might try her luck at the craft---- turning old objects into exquisite works of art that remind people of their past.Lin perfected her skills by deconstructing her old items while following the instructions provided by teaching videos. She also designed all the layouts for her works.To deconstruct an object, Lin first takes it apart, leaving out the parts that might affect the visual effect of the final work, while keeping those she thinks can add to its beauty.She then washes the selected spare parts in an ultrasonic(超声波) cleaner, dries them, puts them on a piece of white paper on which she draws a layout, prints the final version of the layout, sticks the spare parts on the background surface and then frames the work.Since 2019, Lin has so far disassembled hundreds of cellphones , as well as cameras, game consoles, and items that have special significance for their owners. To date, she has gained 2 million followers across various platforms through showcasing her skills on videos. Lin said her customers include tech fans who hope to use spare cellphone parts to show the evolution of technology and also those who want to preserve their past memories.24. Linxin began to turn old objects into art works because ___all the past is worth remembering.she was impressed by a show in Japan.she has the related job experience.she majored in this field at university.When Linxi is doing her job, ____.all the former parts are kept for new works.the selected parts are washed by running water.every version of the layout needs to be printed.the spare parts are stuck on the background surface.We can infer from the last paragraph that____.many people value their old thingsLin Xi’s customers are limitedHi-Tech waste is a big problemold things are always more significant What contributed most to Linxi’s success?______market requirements  B. various platformsC. her interest and determination   D. her parents’ expectation                              CThe “Middle Ages” refers to a duration of 1,000 years, stretching from the fall of Rome in the 5th century to the Italian renaissance in the 15th.  Traditionally,the term refers specifically to Europe. And there are many stories, which are more fiction than reality, about the Europe of that time,.
   One misunderstanding is that people in the Middle Ages were all ignorant and uneducated. For example, a 19th century biography of Christopher Columbus incorrectly claimed that the Europeans at that time thought the Earth was flat. Sure, many scholars of that period described the Earth as the center of the universe – but there wasn’t much debate as to its shape. A popular 13th century text was literally called “On the Sphere of the World.” And the number of people who had an access to books gradually increased alongside the establishment of universities. Ancient knowledge was also not “lost”; Greek and Roman texts continued to be studied.And it is the same with knights(骑士). In the 19th century, some Romantic European nationalist thinkers well –romanticized the Middle Ages. In their description of the societies, they emphasized the narrations of chivalry(骑士精神) and wonder. But knights played minimum roles in those days’ warfare. The fights, the duels, the adventures and the beautiful ladies are most probably but legends.Meanwhile, the 19th century French historian Jules Michelet referred to the Middle Ages as “a thousand years without a bath.” But even small towns were equipped with well-used public bathhouses. People even bathed with soaps made of things like animal fat, ash, and scented herbs. And they used mouthwash, teeth-scrubbing cloths with pastes and powders, and spices and herbs for fresh-smelling breath.
28. According to the author, “Middle Ages” is NOT_____a time period of 1000 years starting from the 7th centuryreferring to the Europementioned in many stories29. Which statement of the Europe in the Middle Ages is true?___A. People were uneducated.B. Europeans thought the Earth was flat.C. Universities were good for people’s education.D. Ancient knowledge was lost.30. From the text we know ______.A. Knights’ stories are probably not real.B. Knights were important in war.C. People never bathed then.D. Only small towns got bathhouses then.31. The structure of the text is _____.A.               B.  C.     D.   DA new research finds that these beloved pets might hurt the pet-owners’ sleeping. According to the study, though pets have many positive effects on health, pet ownership was linked with poorer sleep. The researchers adjusted for factors that could affect sleep, including race and income, as well as age, gender and BMI, and focused on whether a person had a sleep disorder and whether a person had a cat or a dog. The findings showed that having a dog was associated with a greater chance of having a sleep disorder and overall having trouble sleeping, while having a cat was associated with having a higher chance of leg jerks（抽搐) at night.“One of the factors is the age of the pet. It has a big influence on whether or not they keep you up at night,” Van Egmond, a researcher said. “If you have multiple pets, they can egg each other on.” So more pets, more noise, more difficult to fall asleep.So, what should we do to guarantee the sleep quality with pets hanging around? With dogs, it depends a lot on the breed and the activity level it needs. Making sure a pet dog gets plenty of physical activities and mental stimulation during the day can help animals — and their owners — get a better rest. Unlike dogs, cats tend to have bursts of energy at night. To deal with this, such suggestions are worth considering. If you play with your cat before it was ready for bed, you would activate the cat's hunting instinct(本能). By being fed after that, your cat would feel that it has successfully hunted its food and was rewarded with a nice meal in return. Its natural instinct after that was to groom(梳洗) itself and go to sleep.The new study indicates that pets can influence your sleep, but we have to really take into account that pets are much more than a facilitator or inhibitor of sleep, they are part of our family.The study shows ____.Pets have no positive effect.Pets might affect owners’ sleep.Dog owners have no sleeping disorder.Cat’s legs are easily hurt at night.The underlined phrase “egg each other on” means____.living  on eggs onlyB. sleeping  on eggs with each otherC. making each other more excitedD. breaking eggs on purpose34. In paragraph 5 and 6, the author mainly discusses_____A. physical activities suitable for dogs.B. reasons why cats have bursts of energy at night.C. ways to feed pets food.D. suggestions for pet owners to get a better sleep.36. Which can be the best title for the text?_____A. Pets and SleepB. Pets Prefer NightsC. Good Pets or Evil PetsD. Healthy Pets, Healthy Owners第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As we think about how blessed we are on this day, take this opportunity to be a blessing to someone else.

I felt sad, not only because I didn’t take the umbrella, but also because my parents were very busy, no one would come for me.   But I spotted a person in the rain walking quickly towards me. To my great delight, it was my mother. She was glad to see me and cast the umbrella over me, totally forgetting that she herself had been wet thoroughly.   It was a great feeling to know that we are being loved by someone. In return for their love, I will work harder so that one day I can protect and support them too. Sample writing2:Last week I came across a math problem which was so difficult that no one could solve it. But I determined to do so.Firstly, I studied the reference books, looking for the useful knowledge. Then, I consulted my teacher, who didn’t give the answer directly but some valuable advice. Finally, some classmates and I teamed up, and eventually solve the problem together.As far as I am concerned, facing a problem bravely enables us to go beyond ourselves, and working together gives us much more courage and wisdom than we have expected.
