Last year before Christmas, I had a 7-day paid leave and I decided to go on an overnight stay to a nearby fancy hotel Airbnb. I was drawn to the beautiful views and distance from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of the city. After I arrived, I was shocked to know that my room had no WiFi or even television! We were in a modern society', weren't we? Then what was the matter with them?

“We learned from recent studies that people avoiding social media for one week might result in considerable improvements in their well-being, depression, and anxiety,” the staff explained with patience to me when I questioned their service. “And now, many hotels and homestays around the world have been offering visitors exactly this, sir…”

Later, I ran across some brochures about such trend in my room. Sheldon Chalet, a famous place of interest in Alaska, has gone tech-free in an attempt to provide its guests with a truly relaxing vacation without technology. Owner Marne Sheldon hopes that guests can become less dependent of technology. “Here they can spend their nights looking at shooting stars and the aurora(极光), rather than checking through smartphones, messages and posts or watching the news.” For travelers who prefer peace in the sun and sand, one tiny island in the Caribbean has no televisions, telephones or WiFi. Guests at the island's resort have to communicate with staff using traditional methods, such as raising or lowering a flag outside their cottage!

“In today's environment of constant information and digital connection, many people are in need of a digital detox(数码脱瘾).” Anyway, as for my case, it is actually a new luxury—peace and quiet.

24. Why did the author go to the hotel?

A. To tour the busy city.  B. To kill the time online.

C. To get himself a break. D. To celebrate the festival.

25. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Hotel-guided tourism. B. Self-service marketing.

C. Digital printing service. D. Technology-free service.

26. What does Marne Sheldon expect people to do?

A. Stick to traditions.  B. Be close to nature.

C. Be self-dependent.  D. Become reasonable.

27. Which is the best title for the text?

A. Tech-free: a New Travel Trend B. Get Away from the Real World

C. Never Believe in the Travel Ads D. An Island-based Tour Destination

C

“One day I went to a Swedish friend's and while we were playing in his room, his mom yelled that dinner was ready. And check this. He told me to WAIT in his room while they ate!” an Internet user shared on a media platform. Consequently, there was a lot of criticism of the Swedes. Many said they wouldn't dream of being so mean in their culture. Would a host in Sweden really not invite a guest to join their meal if it's dinnertime?

I does happen, says Richard Tellstrom, a food historian at Stockholm University. He says this so-called “non-hospitality” was customary when he was a kid in the ’60s and ’70s. If he was over a friend's house and it was time for dinner, he would go back to his own house to eat. Or he would stay and wait in another room while his friend finished his meal. Then they'd continue playing.

“Some Swedes think feeding a guest creates a sense of duty.” explains Tellstrom. “And in a society that values equality and independence, people don't want to put a burden on someone or feel like they owe someone something.” However, it wasn't a universal rule. Families in the countryside, for example, were more likely to feed guests. People lived farther apart, so it wasn't as easy for people to go home and eat. The “no dinner for you” policy has slowly faded, says Tellstrom. “Since the 1990s, food has become a new symbol in society. We have open kitchens. People like to dine there and show off their cooking.”

But non-sharing hosts haven't entirely disappeared, says Mohini Mehta, a food scholar. She admits she had a tough time adjusting to life in Sweden when she moved there in 2020. She was used to cooking dine every day for friends and hosting dinner parties almost weekly in India. She learned that in some cultures, like her own, sharing a meal with someone is a way to break the ice—but this isn't always the case for Swedes.

28. For what purpose is Paragraph 1 is written?

A. To introduce the topic meal-sharing.

B. To release the netizen's bad feelings.

C. To offer a platform to generate ideas.

D. To compare some foreign food cultures.

29. What does “customary” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Particular. B. Optional. C. Normal. D. Unreasonable.

30. Why do some hosts choose non-hospitality according to Tellstrom?

A. Because food represents a symbol of social status.

B. Because they don't want to show off their cooking.

C. Because it is wildly acknowledged across the country.

D. Because their culture values equality and independence.

31 .How is the text developed?

A. By giving examples.  B. By analyzing reasons.

C. By providing statistics. D. By making comparisons.

D

In a recent study, researchers have suggested that temperature is a major predictor of body size variation. Meanwhile, scientists studying red deer have said that warmer winters in northern Europe and Scandinavia may lead to the body size of these animals becoming smaller. Prof Steve Brusatte, a paleontologist(古生物学家) at the University of Edinburgh, suggested that the way in which other mammals(哺乳动物) have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans' future.

Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann's rule. “Why do they become smaller? It is not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than bigger animals and can thus better release extra heat,” he writes. “It is a common way that mammals deal with climate change”.

He added: “That's not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures change pretty quickly. That does raise the question: if so, might humans get smaller? And I think that certainly makes sense.”

Prof Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said it is commonly believed that the strong relations between temperature and mammal body size may often be down to the availability of food and resources. “We are not really controlled by natural selection,” he said. “If that was going to happen, you'd need to find large people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming. That is not happening in today's world. We wear clothes, we have got heating, and we have got air conditioning if it is too hot.”

32. What does the recent research find according to Paragraph 1?

A. Climate change may cause humans to shrink in size.

B. Human being can't deal with global climate change.

C. Temperature is the decisive element in human growth.

D. Mankind's future is similar to that of ancient mammals

33. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. Principles about Bergmann's rule.

B. Reasons for animals' smaller size.

C. Ways to deal with climate change.

D. Decline of mammals in number.

34. How does Adrian Lister feel about the recent study?

A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Lengthy. D. Pointless.

35. Where is the text probably taken from?

A. A job interview.  B. A public speech.

C. A science journal.  D. A course Book.

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。

Why do people find it so hard to concentrate while studying or working? Perhaps it's because the distractions(干扰) around are too much to resist. I remember those days before my school exams, when I showed no interest in lessons or assignments. This is because we feel that our work or studies are boring. __36__

Make the work exciting. Now the general assumption is that the one work in hand is worth a lot less than two other in the bush. __37__ Psychologists believe that if you are really interested in what you are doing, you will refuse to see the distractions around you! So, to learn to concentrate on work, you first need to make the world exciting.

__38__ The target might be pretty long shot. So try to set a short-term goals, and you get a feeling of achievement each time. Effective goal-setting is a good way to break up your target into shorter goals and ensure that the progress is according to the plan. The drive to achieve the targets and goals set for yourself will keep you focused.

Keep all the distractions away. When you're working, anything can distract you. So, keep them all away. Tell your friends to call later, and keep the phone away. __39__ Turn the TV and music player off, and stay as far away from them as possible. Namely, keep all the distracting stuff out of sight.

Reward yourself. Rewards are just as important as anything else! If you have completed your goals, give yourself more than just a pat on the back. Treat yourself to something you feel you deserve. __40__

A. Pay attention to your future.

B. Set long and short-term goals.

C. But why don't you make it exciting?

D. Tell the people around you to talk softly.

F. Hence, it's time to get rid of this idea altogether.

F. It is essential that you maintain your focus, so that it gives you an edge over them!

G. This will help you feel compensated for your efforts and push you to realize your goals.

I walked several miles a day for the first 2 weeks, but it did nothing. Then I __46__ to it every single day for more than a month.

As time passed by, one day the __51__ happened. I found myself smiling. I found myself __52__ to be outside from time to time. What I once __53__ had become the best part of my day.

第二节：Possible version

Dear Mr. Johnson,

Recently volunteers have conducted a survey about how the students spend their weekends.

As can be seen from the pie, among the surveyed students, about 51% of their time is spent on homework while online activities account for nearly 35%. Meanwhile, doing physical exercise takes up about 7% of their time, sharing the same percentage with reading books.

The survey certainly leaves me deep in thought. Too much homework leaves the students no time for physical exercise or reading, affecting their health and further development. Even worse, many of the surveyed waste much time online, some even addicted to: computer games.

So more attention should be given to this case. Students should have more freedom to something more meaningful, rather than just doing boring repetitive exercises. Otherwise, it may have a negative effect on our future.

Yours,

Li Hua

Text 2

W: How much do you pay every month for your phone bill?

M: It's hard to say exactly. I share an unlimited call, text, and Internet plan with my family, but the taxes and extra fees are slightly different every month. But it's about 50, give or take a couple dollars.

Text 3

M: Where did you find that hat? I've been looking for one just like it.

W: I bought it online. It's perfect for the summer months because of its wide shape. I used to wear baseball hats until I realize they don't protect my entire face from the sun.

Text 4

M: You're looking a little stressed.

W: I have a million things to do, and all of them have to be finished within three hours.

Text 5

M: Can you pass the salt, please? This soup is good, but it is a little plain.

W: I put so much salt in here when I was making it! Maybe it got watered down. Here, try putting in some pepper instead and tell me what you think.

Text 6

W: What are you reading?

M: It's a new children's book called Sail Away by Langston Hughes.

W: Isn't he a poet?

M: Yes. The book is a collection of his poems about the ocean. The artist Ashley Bryan created a bunch of pictures made out of paper to go with the poems, and he's ninety-two years old!

W: Wow! How old is Langston Hughes?

M: He's not alive anymore. He died in 1967 when he was only sixty-five. Ashley Bryan has done a lot of performances of Langston Hughes's poems, and he wanted to provide artwork for a book of them. When he started out in 1962, he was the first African American to publish a children's book as an author and artist. He was forty years old. Now, he's won many awards and has more than twenty books out.

Text 7

W: All you need is your student ID card.

M: How many books am I allowed to have?

W: What is happening on Tuesday?

M: I'm visiting a factory in the south, so I've packed these grey trousers. They're light and I won't need a jacket. It'll be 35 degrees.

W: Oh! Then you're in the mountains on Wednesday.

M: Yes. A jacket won't be warm enough. I've got my coat for that day.

W: Are you taking a sweater as well?

M: There isn't room in the suitcase. On Thursday I'll be by the sea where we spent our honeymoon, so I'm taking my swimming shorts.

W: And what about Friday?

M: I'm having lunch with some colleagues. I'll wear that blue shirt you bought me. Look! Here it is, under the suit.

W: Oh, good.

M: Well, what celebration?

M: Oh, I almost forget about it. Tell me more about the activities.

W: Okay. On Monday, Mr. Brown will give a lecture about the festival. On Tuesday, we're going to throw a party. There will be a big Christmas meal on Wednesday. And we'll take part in an American football game on Friday. Oh, sorry, it was replaced with a basketball game.

M: Wow, all sound great!

W: Yes, but now we are short of hands.

M: How can I help?

W: I'm in charge of organizing the lecture. But I need someone to help design a poster based on the topic of Mr. Brown's lecture.

M: I'm good at painting. Let me help you with that.

W: That's really nice of you.

M: Anything else?

W: We'll also need volunteers to guide the audience to their seats, and we'll need someone to create PowerPoint slides for Mr. Brown.

M: We can turn to my brother who is on annual leave.

Good morning, this is Helen Green. Now for a message from a summer camp.

Volunteers are needed for the summer camp for children aged 5-12. You are supposed to organize indoor and outdoor activities for the children. You must help them get ready for each day, have their meals and go to bed. You also have to entertain them during their free time.

Volunteers should be energetic and enthusiastic with an outgoing personality. A sense of adventure and a positive attitude are necessary. Volunteers should be good at sports and have a talent for art. The most important of all, our summer camp volunteers should love working with children. And you should be able to get on well with the other members of the team.

Volunteers should be aged 18 or over and preferably be university students or graduates. No previous experience is required. All new staff will be required to attend a two-day training course.  Volunteers should complete the online application form. Our Human Resource Department will phone you to discuss potential opportunities.
