一、阅读理解
Discover Jiangsu
Known as shui xiang, or “the land of water”, China’s coastal province of Jiangsu has all the geographical advantages to give it a starring role in the epic tale of China’s ancient Maritime (海上的) Silk Road. With busy port cities, historic sites and breathtaking natural beauty, Jiangsu is the perfect place to trace the story of this remarkable trade route.
Nanjing and the voyages of Zheng He
At the dawn of the Ming dynasty the city of Nanjing in Jiangsu was declared capital of China. As well as building one of the longest city walls in history, the emperor ordered the construction of vast “treasure ships” in 1403. Under the command of legendary seafarer Zheng He, the fleet embarked on seven epic ocean voyages, reaching as far as the east coast of Africa.
Nantong and overseas trade
In Jiangsu’s port city of Nantong, goods have flowed in and out of the province by water for centuries. Today, fleets of hardy fishing boats catch yellow croaker, seabream, sea crabs and more. Beyond Lusi Port Town, a busy seascape of boats travel on the waters of Jiangsu’s coast. It’s a scene that shows how China’s historic Maritime Silk Road continues to thrive and grow to this day.
Yancheng and unspoiled nature
Salt was one of the commodities that played a key role in the history of trade in Jiangsu, contributing to the wealth and prosperity of the province. A major source was the tidal salt flats of Yancheng, which literally means “salt city”. This remarkable landscape also plays host to the epic migrations of rare bird species like cranes, egrets, and spoonbill sandpipers.
Yangzhou, Lianyungang and the exchange of ideas
In the Jiangsu city of Yangzhou, a Tang-dynasty monk by the name of Jianzhen set sail to Japan to spread the teachings of Buddhism. Daming Temple, where Jianzhen lived, can still be visited today.
Centuries earlier, Buddhism first settled on Jiangsu’s shores. Kongwang Mountain in Lianyungang has some of China’s earliest examples of Buddhist art. These carvings show how the Maritime Silk Road helped spread religion across China.

As parents, we always hope to develop character traits in our children that will enhance their success in life. When our daughter Meegan, the eldest of five children, lost her front tooth at the age of six, we found the following note wrapped around the tiny tooth.
Der Tooth Fairy，
Pleze leve me yor majik wand(杖). I want to be a tooth fairy, too.
Luv Meegan
Recognizing potential leadership skills, precious opportunity and the teachable moment, the “Tooth Fairy” left the following note for little Meegan:
Dear Meegan,
I have worked hard to be a good Tooth Fairy and I love my job. You are too young for the job just now, so I cannot give you my wand. But there are some things that you can start to do to prepare yourself for the job:
1) Always do your best in every job that you do.
2) Treat all people as you wish to be treated.
3) Be kind and helpful to others.
4) Always listen carefully whenever people speak to you. I will interview you one day when you are older and ready for the job.
Good Luck, Meegan!
The Tooth Fairy

She excelled, and by age 27, she was the top manager of the company.
One day Meegan and I were talking about her success. She told me that the company president had once asked her what influences had motivated her toward success.

In a recent interview, renowned linguist and cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky gave his thoughts on the rise of ChatGPT, and its effect on education. For him, the key all lies in how students are taught, and, currently, our educational system is pushing students toward ChatGPT and other shortcuts. “I don’t think it has anything to do with education,” Chomsky tells interviewer Thijmen Sprakel of EduKitchen. “I think it’s undermining it. ChatGPT is basically high-tech plagiarism (剽窃).” The challenge for educators, according to Chomsky, is to create interest in the topics that they teach so that students will be motivated to learn, rather than trying to avoid doing the work.
Chomsky, who spent a large part of his career teaching at MIT, felt strongly that his students wouldn’t have turned to AI to complete their coursework if they were invested in the school material. If students are relying on ChatGPT, Chomsky says it’s “a sign that the educational system is failing. If students aren’t interested, they’ll find a way around it.”
The American intellectual strongly feels like the current educational model of “teaching to test” has created an environment where students are bored. In turn, the boredom turns to avoidance, and ChatGPT becomes an easy way to avoid the education.
While some argue that chatbots like ChatGPT can be a useful educational tool, Chomsky has a much different opinion. He feels that these natural language systems “may be of value for some things, but it’s not obvious what.”
Meanwhile, it appears that schools are trying hard to figure out how to counteract the use of ChatGPT. Many schools have banned ChatGPT on school devices and networks, and educators are adjusting their teaching styles. Some are turning to more in-class essays, while others are looking at how they can incorporate the technology into the classroom.
It will be interesting to see if the rise of chatbots helps steer us toward a new teaching philosophy and away from the “teaching to test” method that has become the driving force of modern education. It’s the kind of education that Chomsky says was “ridiculed during the Enlightenment,” and so indirectly, this new technology may force schools to rethink how they ask students to apply their knowledge.
8．What does students’ reliance on ChatGPT indicate?
A．Our education explores AI technology.
B．Our education doesn’t satisfy its goals.
C．Students show great interest in AI technology.
D．Students don’t have time for their school work.9．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “counteract” in paragraph 5?
A．reduce B．increase C．support D．delay10．What’s Chomsky’s attitude towards ChatGPT?
A．Negative. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Hopeful.11．How should educators improve the present situation?
A．Ban students’ use of AI.
B．Adjust their teaching procedure.
C．Change their teaching philosophy.
D．Combine tradition with AI technology.

An elderly black man sits on a drum with his legs on two sides. Using his fingers and the edge of his hand, he taps repeatedly at the drumhead, producing strong drumbeat. A second drummer joins in playing with the same rhythm. A third black man plays a stringed instrument, the body of which is roughly fashioned from a calabash (葫芦). Another calabash has been made into a drum, and a woman beats at it with two short sticks. One voice, then other voices join in. A dance accompanies this musical give-and-take, a moving picture that appears, on the one hand, informal and spontaneous yet, on closer inspection, ritualized (程式化的) and precise. It is a dance of massive size. A dense crowd of dark bodies forms into circular groups—perhaps five or six hundred individuals moving in time to the beat of the music, some swaying gently, others aggressively stomping their feet. A number of women in the group begin chanting.
The scene could be Africa. In fact, it is nineteenth-century New Orleans. Scattered firsthand accounts provide us with fascinating details of the slave dances that took place in the open area then known as Congo Square and there are perhaps no more fascinating documents in the history of African American music. Benjamin Latrobe, the noted architect, witnessed one of these collective dances on February 21,1819, and not only left us a vivid written account of the event but made several sketches of the instruments used. These drawings confirm that the musicians of Congo square, about 1891, were playing percussion (打击乐器) and stringed instruments almost identical to those characteristic of real African music.
Later documents add to our knowledge of the public slave dances in New Orleans but still leave us with many open questions — some of which, in time, historical research may be able to explain, while others might never be answered. One thing, however, is clear. Although these days we tend to view the intersection of black and white musical currents as a theoretical, almost symbolic issue, these storied accounts of the Congo Square dances provide us with a real time and place, an actual transfer of totally African ritual to the native soil of the New World.
12．Which of the following best describes the musical scene in the beginning?
A．It’s slow and relaxing. B．It’s lovely and childlike.
C．It’s strong and organized. D．It’s delightful and encouraging.13．What’s the purpose of paragraph 2?
A．To help its readers to read a music history book.
B．To show the value of the accounts in music history.
C．To familiarize its readers with a type of ancient music.
D．To praise an architect who was a dedicated music lover.14．What’s the new understanding of the music?
A．It’s more of a musical theory. B．It’s more of a vivid life.
C．It’s more of a religious ceremony. D．It’s more of a cultural symbol.15．What can we learn about Congo Square?
A．A place where foreigners held musical festivals.
B．A place where music historians wrote their books.
C．A place where slaves could have a break from hard labour.
D．A place where African music found its voice on the new land.


二、七选五
Do Weighted Blankets Work?
Sleep is supposed to be a natural thing, but if you wrestle with insomnia (失眠症), you may be tempted to try pieces of equipment that promise better sleep. 16
“They’ve become the sleep tool to have,” says Alanna McGinn, founder and lead sleep expert at Good Night Sleep Site. “I’m a huge supporter of them because they can work so well.”
About 32 percent of Americans don’t get enough sleep, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 17 Insomnia impacts as many as 35 percent of adults from time to time, while 10 percent have chronic trouble falling and staying asleep.
Choose one that’s around 10 percent of your body weight. 18 Inside is a layer of plastic, glass or metal balls surrounded by filling. McGinn says the blanket’s heaviness acts as a touch therapy called deep pressure stimulation. Just as wrapping babies tightly can send them to sleep, these blankets help your heart and breathing rates slow and your body release feel-good hormones, including serotonin (血清素).
Are they effective? A 2020 review study in the U.S. looked at eight previous studies and concluded that weighted blankets helped reduce anxiety — but not necessarily insomnia. 19 A randomized controlled study in Sweden looked at 120 people with insomnia and also depression or anxiety. 20 People with conditions such as diabetes or breathing issues, however, should check with their doctor before using one. “And if you’re someone who is a little afraid of an enclosed space, it’s probably not the best thing for you,” adds McGinn.
A．It recommends at least seven hours a night for adults.
B．Those who used a weighted blanket slept better and were less tired or anxious.
C．The study found a significant rise in the related symptoms.
D．But other 2020 research tells a slightly different story.
E．One that might sound a little weird but that has been known to work is a weighted blanket.
F．Dealing with such problems can be more or less tricky.
G．Weighted blankets range between two and 14 kilograms.

The economic downturn caught us. We sold our ranch and moved to town, Mother had decided to open a day nursery. She had had no training, but that didn’t stand in her way. She sent away for correspondence courses in child care, did the lessons and in six months formally qualified herself for the task. It wasn’t long before she had a full enrollment and a waiting list. I accepted all this as a perfectly normal instance of Mother’s ability. But neither the nursery nor the motel my parents bought later had provided enough income to send my sister and me to college. In two years I would be ready for college. Time was running out, and Mother was anxious for ways to save money. It was clear that Dad could do no more than he was doing already — farming 80 acres in addition to holding a fulltime job. A few months after we’d sold the motel, Mother arrived home with a used green typewriter.
“That’s all we can afford,” Mother said. “It’s good enough to learn on.” And from that day on, as soon as the table was cleared and the dishes were done, Mother would disappear into her sewing room to practice. The slow tap, tap, tap went on some nights until midnight. Soon I heard Mother got a job at the radio station. I was not the least bit surprised, or impressed. But she was wild with joy.
Monday, after her first day at work, I could see that the excitement was gone.
Tuesday, Dad made dinner and cleaned the kitchen. Mother stayed in her sewing room, practicing. “Is Mother all right?” I asked Dad. “She’s having a little trouble with her typing,” he said. “She needs to practice. I think she’d appreciate it if we all helped out a bit more. You might just remember that she is working primarily so you can go to college.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Wednesday, I arrived home earlier and was surprised by what I saw — Mother was crying in the corner of the couch.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mother took another job earning half, but the evening practice sessions on the old green typewriter continued.

46．Dear students,
With the aim of protecting the environment, we have launched an activity on the theme of “Building a green Earth starts from me”.
Ambitious as the mission seems, some simple acts do make a difference. Firstly, remember to save electricity by turning off the electric devices once you stop using them. Secondly, give away your old things such as textbooks that are still in good condition for reuse. Last but not least, you should learn to sort the garbage scientifically so that it can be dealt with more effectively.
In a word, reduce, reuse and recycle. Every bit counts and let’s join hands and take immediate action from now on.

47．One possible version:
Wednesday, I arrived home earlier and was surprised by what I saw — Mother was crying in the corner of the couch. I approached cautiously and touched her shoulder. “Mother?” I said. “What’s happened?” She took a long breath and managed a weak smile. “I’m going to lose this new job. I can’t type fast enough. I guess we all have to fail sometime,” Mother said quietly. I could sense her pain and the tension of holding back the strong emotions that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me turned. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. Sitting beside her on the couch, I began very slowly to understand the pressures on her.
Mother took another job earning half, but the evening practice sessions on the old green typewriter continued. I had a very different feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping away. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type. And I knew there was something strong growing in my heart. In time we harvested the fruits of labor. I went to college. Years after, I proudly accepted a job as a newspaper reporter, and Mother had already been a journalist with our hometown paper. Now the old green typewriter sits in my office, unrepaired. It is a reminder — not of failure, but of my mother’s courage, the courage to go ahead.
【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，经济衰退影响了作者一家的生活，家里不得不卖掉农场，搬到城里，母亲从零开始学起在六个月后开了一家日托所，但是母亲的日托所和父亲的汽车旅馆的收入都无法满足作者和妹妹上大学的需求。父亲已非常忙碌无法做更多的事情，在卖掉汽车旅馆后母亲买了旧的打字机，开始勤奋地练习打字，不久后在广播电台找到一份工作，她非常兴奋。但是周一的时候，母亲上班的第一天，她的兴奋就消失了。周二，父亲向作者解释这是因为母亲在打字上遇到了问题，并提醒作者这一切都是为了作者可以上大学。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“周三，我提早到家，看到的情景让我很吃惊——妈妈在沙发的角落里哭。”和第二段首句内容中的“母亲找了另一份工作”可知，第一段可描写作者上前询问母亲发生了什么事，母亲告知作者自己丢了打字的新工作，然后作者上前安慰母亲。
②由第二段首句内容“母亲找了另一份工作，挣一半的钱，但晚上仍在那台旧的绿色打字机上练习。”可知，第二段可描写在一家人的努力下，作者成功上了大学，母亲也取得了成就，作者因母亲的这一段经历有所感悟。
2.续写线索：母亲在哭泣——作者上前询问——作者安慰母亲——母亲另找工作，继续练习打字——一家人付出有所收获——作者感悟
