Tariq Qaiser, an architect, is trying to protect mangroves (红树林). The trees could save Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, sitting on the Arabian Sea, from climate disaster. He comes to Bundal Island several times a week to document the illegal cutting of mangrove trees. Very often, “you can’t hear a single bird because the chain saws are so loud. The trees are cut down illegally for firewood,” he says, shaking his head. Besides, developers clear the mangroves to make room for new buildings.
Karachi has a hot climate, and its concrete buildings and paved roads make it even hotter. Offshore, there are islands where mangroves grow. They could be the key to slowing climate change. Mangrove forests pull carbon dioxide out of the air, holding four times as much of the planet-warming gas as other forests can. They support diverse ecosystems. As sea levels rise with global warming, the trees could play a big role in protecting coastal cities like Karachi from flooding. Karachi’s mangroves are disappearing. But its numbers are rising in other parts of Pakistan. With replanting efforts, the country has tripled (三倍于) its mangrove coverage over the past 30 years.
Qaiser’s work may have worked. Recently, a court in Karachi declared Bundal Island’s mangroves to be protected forests. But unforested parts of the island remain unprotected, and developers want to build there. City officials say this could provide much-needed housing and bring in billions of dollars. They claim that some of that money could be used to plant mangroves in other parts of Pakistan.
Ecologist Rafiul Haq appreciates Qaiser’s “extraordinary work” educating the public about mangroves. But he wishes Qaiser would look at the bigger picture. Only 7% of Pakistan’s mangroves are in Karachi, Haq says. He thinks it’s wrong “to focus on the losses in 7% of the country while ignoring the success in 93%” of it. But Qaiser believes it’s important to protect every bit.
4．What can we say about Karachi’s mangroves?
A．They’re eating into the building land. B．They’re suffering serious illegal-cutting.
C．They’re mainly being used as firewood. D．They’re attracting different kinds of birds.5．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning mangrove trees?
A．Their different birthplaces. B．Their huge diversity.
C．Their bonds with nature. D．Their rapid growth.6．What do the Karachi officials want to do?
A．Grow mangroves somewhere else. B．Build fences to protect mangroves.
C．Circle more mangrove reserves. D．Use mangroves to make more money.7．What does Haq think of Qaiser’s work on Karachi’s mangroves?
A．Fruitful. B．Cost-effective. C．Inconsistent. D．One-sided.

Recently, there have been huge advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs that create art.
Dall-E 2, a tool from OpenAI, uses AI to create excellent paintings, photos, and other artworks in many different styles based on simple descriptions. Since then, OpenAI has changed its rules to allow people to sign up and use the tool, but it’s still putting strong controls on the art that can be created. However, now there’re several other AI tools that work in similar ways. They are free or cheap, and don’t have some of Dall-E 2’s limits. Midjourney is a website that allows users to create images (图像) from short descriptions. Stable Diffusion is similar, but users can also run the program on their own computers.
The new tools are puissant, allowing people to quickly see almost any idea they can imagine, even if they aren’t artists. For some creative workers, like those at companies that create ads or images, the tools allow them to quickly explore new ideas.
These AI programs can make strange mistakes. But with the right description, they’re able to create images of just about anything in just about any style. Artists say that they’re now competing against computers for attention, prizes and jobs. It’s hard for a single artist to compete against all the art and photography that have ever appeared on the Internet. In August, 2022, an artwork created with Midjourney won first prize at the Colorado State Fair, which upset many people.
The images and the descriptions used to train these AI programs are taken from the Internet. Their creators haven’t given permission for their images to be used. But their skills and talents are a huge part of what makes the new tools so successful. This has raised questions about whether what these tools are doing is fair or legal. This is an area where the law isn’t clear. Some artists’ groups say artists should get to decide if their works can be used by these tools.
8．What do we know about OpenAI?
A．It’s created several AI art tools. B．It’s earned much money for itself.
C．It’s made Dall-E 2 access limited. D．It’s possessed many works of art.9．What does the underlined word “puissant” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Expensive. B．Powerful. C．Time-consuming. D．Risk-taking.10．Which word best describes the artists facing the AI art tools?
A．Stressful. B．Doubtful. C．Cheerful. D．Grateful.11．What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?
A．Technology advances faster than lawmaking. B．The training images will be open to the public.
C．AI tools will be banned because of copyright. D．Artists lack the skills to create modern works.

Ants have the ability to smell out cancer cells in humans, a new study has discovered, suggesting they could be used for cancer diagnosis in future. Researchers discovered that ant species called Formica fusca has a well-developed sense of smell. It was able to distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells in humans, thanks to their sense of smell, limited trials showed. But more clinical tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said. They suggest that in future, ants could turn out to be better at dogs when it comes to locating cancer cells in humans.
To conduct their research, the scientists performed tests with 36 ants smelling cells under a lab setting.
First, the specialists exposed the ants to the smell of a sample of human cancer cells. This smell was then associated with a reward of sugar solution. In a second step, the researchers exposed the ants to two different smells. One was a new smell and the second was the smell of the cancer cells. Once this test was successful, the scientists exposed the ants to different cancer cells. As such, the scientists found that “ants can distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells and different cancer cells.”
After training, Formica fusca ant can recognize the VOC sent out by cancer cells. This isn’t the first time that scientists have used the animal sense of smell to locate cancer cells. “Dogs noses are well suited for medical diagnosis and used for the recognition of cancer,” the researchers explained. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year. “Therefore, ants, as a tool for identifying cancer cells, are fast, efficient, cheap and have strong discrimination,” the team explained. “Our approach can also be used in a range of other complex smell identification tasks in the future, including identifying drugs, explosives, spoiled foods or diseases such as malaria.”
12．Why do scientists choose ants Formica fusca to experiment?
A．They behave much better than dogs. B．They are easy to be found in nature.
C．They are more efficient and cheaper. D．They have a perfect sense of smell.13．Which aspect of the study is paragraph 3 about?
A．Its purpose. B．Its procedure. C．Its background. D．Its significance.14．What’s the purpose of the text?
A．To explain an unusual cure for cancer. B．To report the process of training ants.
C．To introduce a new way to identify cancer. D．To predict a medical study’s breakthrough.15．What’s the best title of the text?
A．Ants operate on cancer patients. B．Ants can stop humans getting cancer.
C．Scientists find ants are cancer-free. D．Ants can smell cancer effectively.


二、七选五
Email is a way of sending messages and data to other people by means of computers connected together in a network, which plays a very important role in our daily life. It is something that most of us use almost every day. 16
First of all, someone sends you a joke and doesn’t give you license to send it to your whole address book. 17 The same is true for emails that say “send this on” or that promise you rewards for it.
Even if it is amusing or really interesting, stop and consider if it is appropriate to send it to others. If you have work addresses for your contacts, do not send it to anyone’s place of employment if there is any inappropriateness. 18 Therefore, don’t get them in trouble by sending something that is not appropriate.
19 Don’t worry. Please put the contacts in the BCC line, which means “blind carbon copy”. This way, all of your contacts are protected.
When receiving an email, if it is a personal note, the polite thing to do is to acknowledge it, even if it is just a quick return email to say “thanks!”. 20
Use a subject line that clearly lets the receiver know what the email is regarding, which helps the receiver to decide whether there is need for him/her to read the email attentively or not.
A．Never show your name in your emails.
B．If it’s not absolutely amusing, don’t send it.
C．How about sending your emails to all your friends?
D．Many people have strict rules about what they can send and receive.
E．It’s rude to receive a friendly email from a friend or co-worker and just ignore it.
F．What if you ignore the above advice and send out emails to your whole address book?
G．But there are some tips for good manners when it comes to sending or receiving emails.

41．考查非谓语动词。句意：英国是世界上最富有的国家之一，但是人们却很难支付能源费用。have difficulty (in) doing固定搭配，意为“很难做某事”，因此用所给词的动名词形式作宾语。故填paying。

43．考查定语从句。句意：他们正在把图书馆改造成人们可以免费取暖的空间。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词spaces，且从句中缺少地点状语，应用关系副词where来引导，故填where。
44．考查时态和语态。句意：这些地方被称为“热库”。此处在句中作谓语，句子描述一般性事实，应用一般现在时，主语these指的是these spaces，和动词call是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动，主语是复数，故填are called。
45．考查形容词。句意：储蓄专家马丁•刘易斯（Martin Lewis）表示，在一个理应富裕的国家拥有“热库”这种想法令他感到震惊。此处应用形容词wealthy作定语，修饰名词country，故填wealthy。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。登山对健康是有益的。如果你认为你必须去山上学习登山，那你错了。本文主要介绍了在城市体育馆里学习攀登。
【详解】1.考查固定搭配。句意：人们相信登山对健康有益。do good to是固定短语，意为“对……有好处”。故将well改为good。
2.考查时态。句意：如果你认为你必须去山上学习登山，那你错了。通读全文可知，全文用的是一般现在时态，故此处也用一般现在时，主语是you，表示“必须，不得不”用have to。故将had改为have。

8.考查冠词。句意：攀岩吸引了人们，因为它对几乎每个人来说都是很好的锻炼。exercise意为“锻炼”，是不可数名词。故删除good前的a。

From our school website I’ve learned our school is preparing a talent show on traditional Chinese arts on New Year’s Day 2023. I feel excited and proud because I think this is a golden chance to spread our Chinese culture, making foreigners have a better understanding of Chinese culture.

I’d appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua
