Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king of Zambia: at just 22, he started to earn an international reputation for being able to make complex and elegant sculptures from scrap (废弃的) metal found in his community.
Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary school. Then his mother abandoned him and he had to stay with his grandfather. His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary school, he had to get various jobs to pay for his fees. Yet even in school, he was always drawing and making things in class.
After graduating, he did what he could to support himself by making animal sculptures from wires and sold them to tourists. His work was so popular that it caught the eye of Karen Beattie, director of Project Luangwa, a nonprofit organization dedicated to education and economic development in central Africa.
“I introduced him to a local welder (焊工),” Beattie told Newsweek.
In 2017, Phiri worked with welder Moses Mbewe during the rainy season, helping to make a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa. The piece sparked an idea in Beattie’s mind: “I handed him a bunch of scrap metal and said, ‘Make something with this.’ And he did. It was wonderful.”
Today, Phiri continues his art, using pieces of junk people bring him—keys, broken bike chains, old metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying around. He then turns the junk into abstract animals—elephants, cranes, giraffes, chameleons—and sells them at Project Luangwa headquarters. The community has recognized his talents.
“My dream is to earn enough to study art at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and be able to make a living from it,” Phiri said “and then to make very large sculptures.”
24. What is Phiri known for?
A. Serving his community. B. Collecting works of art.
C. Being the king of Zambia. D. Turning trash into treasure.
25. What can we learn about Phiri from paragraph 2?
A. He had an unhappy childhood. B. He paid for his primary school.
C. He had to support his grandfather. D. He missed school to do part-time jobs.
26. How does Phiri feel about his future?
A. Uncertain. B. Confident.
C. Depressed. D. Satisfied.
27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. A Successful Path of Art. B. The Junk-art King of Zambia.
C. A Young Man’s Wildest Dream. D. The Modern Junk Works of Art.
C
Mounting evidence suggests that longtime sitting — a main part of modern-day life — is risky to your health, even if you exercise regularly. Based on these findings, doctors advise all adults to sit less and move more. But how often do we need to get up from our chairs? And for how long?
Few studies have compared multiple options to come up with the answer most office workers want: What is the least amount of activity needed to counteract the health effects of a workday filled with sitting?
Now a study by Columbia University exercise physiologists has an answer. Unlike other studies that test one or two activity options, the study tested five different exercise “snacks”, or short bursts of activity after a period of time’s sitting: one minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting, one minute after 60 minutes, five minutes every 30, five minutes every 60 and no walking.
The proper amount of movement, the researchers found, was five minutes of walking every 30 minutes. This was the only amount that greatly lowered both blood sugar and blood pressure. In addition, this walking routine had an impressive effect on how the participants responded to large meals, reducing blood sugar spikes (峰值) by 58% compared with sitting all day. Taking a walking break every 30 minutes for one minute also provided modest benefits for blood sugar levels throughout the day, while walking every 60 minutes, either for one minute or five minutes, provided no benefit.
What we know now is that for best health, you need to move regularly at work, in addition to a daily exercise routine. While that may sound impractical, the findings show that even small amounts of walking spread through the work day can greatly lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic (慢性的) illnesses.
28. What does the study by Columbia University focus on?
A. What adults should do to keep exercising regularly.
B. When and where we need to sit less and move more.
C. Why longtime sitting every day is risky to our health.
D. How often and how long we need to walk from our chairs.
29. What does the underlined word “counteract” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Cancel out. B. Give up. C. Add to. D. Benefit from.
30. Which walking pattern is the most useful for health according to the text?
A. One minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting.
B. Five minutes of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting.
C. One minute of walking after every 60 minutes of sitting.
D. Five minutes of walking after every 60 minutes of sitting.
31. What does the last paragraph show?
A. The risks of heart disease and other illnesses.
B. The daily exercise routine suitable for everyone.
C. The suggestions on the health of the office staff.
D. The ways of moving regularly at work every day.
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) has hit the headlines in recent months, particularly since the launch of ChatGPT in November. The chatbot can not only answer a broad range of questions, but also create original poems and stories.
Japan’s first fully AI-created comic, Cyberpunk: Peach John, was released on March 9 by Shinchosha, a major publishing house.
The comic is based on the futuristic imagination of the author, whose pen name is Rootport. It describes how the Japanese folklore (民间传说) hero Momotaro, who is said to have been born from a giant peach, lives in a dystopian (反乌托邦的) future.
All the fancy futuristic objects and creatures in the book, however, were designed and created by Midjourney along with other popular online image-generation AI tools such as Stable Diffusion and DALL-E 2.
Unlike traditional comic volumes which are usually black-and-white and short in length, Cyberpunk: Peach John comes in full color and spans more than 100 pages. A work of this length would normally take over a year to complete by even authors who are familiar with comic creation. However, with AI creation, it took the writer a surprisingly short period — only six weeks — to finish the whole work.
Despite gaining widespread attention as the first fully AI-drawn comic in Japan, the work has also raised some questions and concern as well. According to Gulf News and CNN, some people are worried that AI technology will threaten jobs and copyright ownership in the nation’s thriving comic book industry, as well as creativity and artistic value.
One Twitter user described the project as “an absolute insult (侮辱) to comic and comic artists everywhere.” Another wrote: “Weird to publish a comic by AI when your country has some of the most talented artists in existence.”
But Rootport has insisted that his comic book should be considered a work of art. “AI cannot yet create a perfect work on its own. Human assistance is essential,” he said.
32. Who is the writer of the comic, Cyberpunk: Peach John?
A. Shinchosha. B. Rootport. C. Momotaro. D. Midjourney.
33. Which of the following is true?
A. The comic book is colorful and extremely time-saving in creation.
B. AI technology will definitely threaten jobs and copyright ownership.
C. Japan has the most talented comic artists in the world.
D. The comic book is considered a work of art.
34. What’s people’s attitude towards the AI-drawn comic in the text?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Neutral.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. AI-drawn comics have advantages over traditional ones.
B. AI-drawn comics have become a new trend in Japan.
C. Japan released its first fully AI-created comic.
D. People have different opinions on the first AI-created comic.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath a willow tree. It must be as sick, for the branches were kind of yellow and dry. I was a deserted girl. Endless quarrels with my parents had left me nowhere to go but this desolate (荒无人烟的) corner of the park. As I sat on the bench, things that happened recently began to flash through. Days seemed months to me recently. No cozy home to stay. No happy memories about my life. No considerate family members to talk to. Even the book I was reading was no fun. Not content with life, I had a good reason to frown, for the world was intended to drag me down.
And if that were not enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right in front of me with his head tilted (倾斜) down and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower. What a pitiful sight, its petals (花瓣) were all worn—not enough rain, or too little light. He must have picked the flower from somewhere shady and sunless, just like where I was staying these days. I couldn’t help being self-pitying. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I faked a smile and then looked away. “Why couldn’t everyone just leave me be!” I thought to myself, upset and gloomy.
But instead of leaving, he sat next to me and placed the flower to his nose and declared loudly with certainty, “It sure smells pretty and it must be beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it; here, it is for you.” The “weed” before me was dying or dead, not vibrant with colors, orange, yellow or red—anyone having eyes can see that clearly! But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.” Strangely, instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air without any reason or plan.
注意：
1. 续写词数应150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Casting a curious glance at the boy’s eyes, I was hugely shocked.

【原文】W: Hello, everyone! Welcome to our history museum! Today I will tell you something about the history of newspaper. The earliest newspapers were probably handwritten notices posted to be read by the public. But the first real newspaper was started in Germany in 1609. It was called Strassburg Relation. The Germans are pioneers in newspaper publishing. One of the first English-language newspapers, The London Gazette, was published in England in 1665. In America, several newspapers were also started after that. The first successful one, The Boston News-Letter, began to be published in 1704. An important year in newspaper publishing was 1833. In that year, The New York Sun became the first penny newspaper. Penny newspapers only cost a penny. They were the first newspapers to have advertisements and to be sent homes. Nowadays, the advertisement on the newspapers is very common.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些减少数字干扰，提高注意力的方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“No matter where you are, you can be connected via your mobile phone number, email address or social media accounts.(无论你在哪里，都可以通过你的手机号码、电子邮件地址或社交媒体账户与你联系)”以及后文“What can you do to minimize these digital distractions and increase your focus? Below are some tips that can help you.(你能做些什么来减少这些数字干扰，提高你的注意力呢？下面是一些可以帮助你的建议)”可知，上文提到可以通过你的手机号码、电子邮件地址或社交媒体账户与你联系，后文则提到了数字干扰，可知本句是在说明结果：导致了我们所说的数字干扰，C选项中digital distractions对应后文中these digital distractions。故C选项“这些导致了我们所说的‘数字干扰’”符合语境，故选C。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Turn on “Don’t disturb” when you study. If you want to get the most out of your study time, you must reduce distractions. I like spending about 30 minutes reading by using the Kindle app.(学习的时候打开“请勿打扰”。如果你想充分利用你的学习时间，你必须减少干扰。我喜欢用Kindle应用程序阅读大约30分钟)”以及后文“Because of this, I can focus completely on my reading.(因为这样，我可以完全专注于我的阅读)”可知，本句是在说明作者减少干扰的方法：手机上没有社交应用。故A选项“我手机上没有社交应用”符合语境，故选A。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Change your mind. One social issue in today’s world is the fear of missing out, which causes us to feel the need to be “connected”. That is one of the main causes of digital distractions.(改变你的想法。当今世界的一个社会问题是害怕错过，这使我们感到需要“联系”。这是数字干扰的主要原因之一)”以及后文“You can do this by checking your messages and email before study. (你可以在学习前查看你的信息和电子邮件)”可知，上文提到了数字干扰的原因，可推测本句是在说明防止数字干扰的方法：防止它进入你的学习时间。故E选项“你必须防止它进入你的学习时间”符合语境，故选E。
【39题详解】
根据后文“Seriously, you can do this. You don’t have to be always available. When you tell people that you aren’t available, they will respect your time. No one will force you to be available because no one can control your life.(说真的，你能做到的。你不必总是随时待命。当你告诉别人你没空时，他们会尊重你的时间。没有人会强迫你随叫随到，因为没有人能控制你的生活)”可知，后文提到告诉别人你没空，B选项中you won’t be available对应后文中you aren’t available。故B选项“告诉别人你没空”符合语境，故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Turn your “should do” into a “must do”. We all have things we should do. All these “shoulds” pile up and never get done because they aren’t priorities. “Should-dos” have no urgency attached to them, so they fall to the bottom of the pile of things we want to do. When you change a “should” to a “must”, it becomes a priority.(把你的“应该做”变成“必须做”。我们都有自己应该做的事情。所有这些“应该做的事情”都堆在一起，永远做不完，因为它们不是优先事项。“应该做的事情”没有紧迫感，所以它们在我们想要做的事情中排名最靠后。当你把“应该”改成“必须”时，它就变成了优先级)”可知，上文提到把“应该”改成“必须”时，它就变成了优先级，故本句说明这么做的结果：从干扰中解放出来，花更多的时间学习。故G选项“你将从干扰中解放出来，花更多的时间学习”符合语境，故选G。

Casting a curious glance at the boy’s eyes, I was hugely shocked. In the pure and sunny face were just a pair of eyes, somewhat hollow and focusless. “He was blind!” I felt myself choked as if there were a lump in my throat. With watery eyes, I took the flower from his hand carefully and praised it as the very best one. “Have a nice day!” the boy smiled broadly and then ran off briskly before I had time to convey the slightest appreciation. I sat there and wondered how a blind little boy managed to see a self-pitying girl under a sick willow tree and how he even knew clearly of my dreadful despair.
“I had to make a change,” I thought to myself. For all of those times I myself had been blind towards the world around me. Somehow, through the eyes of the blind boy, at last I could see my real problem. I promised to step out of the shady corner, open my eyes to the beauty of the world. Holding the wilted flower up to my nose, I took a deep sniff. A wave of faint fragrance lingering in my heart, I couldn’t help smiling just as the boy had done. Never did he know that his weed-like flower brought the first glimmer of sunshine to a girl’s deserted world.
