“You should get a cat,” my doctor said. “A cat?” I couldn’t even look after myself. I took a deep breath and carefully considered the idea of welcoming a feline (猫科的) friend into my life.
Adopting an animal during the height of the pandemic was far from easy. When my partner and I found Cinnamon, her adoption profile made her out as the perfect kitten. We felled out the paperwork and had a few weeks to prepare for her arrival.
When she came home, it became increasingly obvious that Cinnamon didn’t understand “no”, “stop it” or “don’t do that”. She was the worst cat I’ve ever owned. I was beginning to doubt my doctor’s advice.
We decided to start taking her for walks. I could barely leave the house before, but my heart couldn’t say no to Cinnamon. Cinnamon showed me what bravery looked like. if there was a dog at a park, she would run toward it. She jumped without knowing where she would land. She loved adventure. I found myself mirroring her behavior after a while, jumping out of bed without a second thought. I began to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
Cinnamon unfortunately passed away after a medical accident, leaving a cat-sized hole in my heart the day she left us at only six months old. I’m no stranger to sadness or grief, but losing my pet so suddenly was the most confusing emotional experience I’ve ever had. She was supposed to help me through more of my life than the three short months we had her.
Our time is often cut unpredictably, unmistakably short. It would be a shame to live life being anything less than brave and adventurous.
24. Why did the doctor advise the author to get a cat?
A. To teach her to interact with animals.
B. To assist her to fill up her spare time.
C. To help her out of her mental disease.
D. To ensure her safety in time of pandemic.

C. Stubborn but courageous. D. Naughty and adventurous.
26. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Why Cinnamon loved going outside.
B. How Cinnamon affected the author positively.
C. Why the author decided to take Cinnamon outside.
D. How Cinnamon interacted with the author outdoors.

C. Friendship with pets is helpful. D. The courage to take risks is beneficial.
C
Over the past months, terrible things have occurred around the world: the ground under the German town of Erftstadt is torn apart by flood waters; Lytton in British Columbia is burned from the map just a day after setting an extremely high temperature record; cars float like dead fish through the streets-turned-canals in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou. All the world feels at risk and there seem no safe places to hide. Research has found that all these have something to do with greenhouse-gas emission (排放), which has produced a planet more than 1℃(1.8°F) warmer than the 18th century.
With emissions continuing, it will get worse. If temperatures rise by 3℃ in the coming decades, large parts of the tropics (热带地区) risk becoming too hot for outdoor work. Coral reefs and the sea life depending on them will disappear and so will the Amazon rainforest. Severe harvest failures will be common. Ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland will shrink (收缩) past the point of no return, promising sea rises measured not in millimetres, as today’s are, but in metres.
Some cautious adaptations have been put into effect. However, cutting emissions alone is far from enough. it’s also wise to study the most amazing form of adaptation: solar geoengineering.
Research over the past 15 years has suggested that solar geoengineering might significantly reduce some of the harms from greenhouse warming. It seeks to make clouds or particle layers (粒子层) in the atmosphere a bit more mirror-like. reflecting away some sunlight. It cannot provide a straightforward equal and opposite response to greenhouse gas warming; it will tend, for example. to reduce precipitation (降水) more than temperature, potentially changing rainfall patters to ease the problem of global warming.
28. What does the underlined “these” refer to in Paragraph 1?
A. The severe risks the world is facing.
B. The terrible floods the earth is experiencing.
C. The extreme weather the planet is undergoing.
D. The unsafe places the emission has created.
29. How does the author explain the consequences of the emission in Paragraph 2?
A. By listing examples. B. By using figures.
C. By asking questions. D. By making comparisons.
30. What do we know about solar geoengineering?
A. It will change the global temperature patterns.
B. It may cut greenhouse gas emissions significantly.
C. It will provide a direct response to global temperature.
D. It may prevent sunlight from reaching the earth directly.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the 1ecxt?
A. Global warming—bad news for the world.
B. Cautious Adaptations—good news for the world.
C. Solar Geoengineering—new solutions to global warming.
D. Greenhouse gas emission—familiar problems with global warming.

The 2022 Winter Olympics have just come to an end, but the feast of ice and snow is still going on—Beijing Winter Paralympics (残奥会) kicked off on March 4. A sign language AI TV anchor(主持人) that has served the Winter Olympics is now doing the broadcasting job for the Winter Paralympics, ensuring Chinese audiences who have hearing difficulties can enjoy the Games.
Created by Baidu Smart Cloud, the AI anchor is supported by the world's largest sign language database with up to 200,000 pieces of data. The technology behind it makes for a qualified virtual anchor, whose mission is to provide a great service to those with hearing difficulties, allowing them to quickly obtain event information.
Sign language’s word order is different from spoken language. For example, people with hearing difficulties place the predicate (谓语) at the end of the sentence, while we put them in the middle of the sentence, just between the subject and the object in modern Chinese. Therefore, sign language recognition is difficult, according to Yuan Tiantian, vice dean and professor at Tianjin University of Technology. Yuan and her team conducted extensive research on action recognition. The arms have 18 points that need to be analyzed, a hand has 21 points and a face has more than 100. All of these points are challenging for the AI to process.
Compared with human language translators, the Al sign language anchor has some advantages. It can help with the continuous translation for long texts, and limit the amount of information lost. Also, statistics indicated that under special circumstances, the correct rate of sign language recognition could top 97 percent while the correct rate of sign language creation could be even higher.
After the Winter Paralympics, the AI sign language TV anchor will have no shortage of applications. The research team expects that it could help those with hearing difficulties in their shopping. transportation and other aspects of daily life. China’s virtual human industry is ready for rapid growth, with applications in areas such as broadcasting. entertainment, retail, finance and education. It is also possible that everyone eventually will have their very own avatar (虚拟化身).
32. What’s the function of the AI anchor at Beijing Winter Paralympics?
A. To spread the feast of ice and snow.
B. To help the deaf Chinese enjoy the events.
C. To broadcast the spirit of the Olympic Games.
D. To collect the sign language database of the events.
33. What makes sign language recognition difficult?
A. The mixed predicate. B. The complex database.
C. The difficult action recognition. D. The different language order.
34. Which of the following helps AI sign language anchor stand out?
A The rapid growth of China’s AI and virtual human industry.
B. The challenging action recognition of the arms, hands and face.
C. The continuous translations for long texts with high correct rate.
D. The perfect correct rate of sign language recognition and creation.
35. What’s the author’s attitude to China’s virtual human industry?
A. Doubtful. B. Ambiguous. C. Critical. D. Optimistic.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
To be successful or fulfilled, we should plan steps and attach deadlines. Researches show that goals can get you to work harder, focus more and perform better. 36 Worse still, they can make you more likely to cheat, and less likely to thrive.
For most of us, goals are outcomes. Those who are motivated only by the desire for the fruits of action are miserable (痛苦的), for they’re constantly anxious about the results of what they do. In fact, focusing on the outcome may make you even less likely to meet it. 37 It may be to learn to focus on process and forget the outcome entirely.
38 That relates to the other risk of goalsetting: its focus. Research also shows that if they don’t really know how to complete the task, give them a goal that early on messes up their performance.
As an analysis outlines, when people were given performance-oriented goal, they acted in more competitive, selfish ways. Of course, it’s human nature to have aims, but we also may want to change our whole approach. Imagine the goal as a journey, which is about enjoying the movement, the particular challenges and the landscapes. 39
So instead of focusing on where you want to be, set a goal based on the experience you want to have along the way. If you really want to find fulfillment, you have to do something else too. Give yourself over to your work, but let go of the outcome. 40 But it can be freer and more fulfilling.
A. Goals in themselves aren’t bad.
B. But they also can kill your creativity.
C. So instead of focusing on your goal, what is the key?
D. In other words, prioritize the journey not just the destination.
E. As a result, the people who focus less on their goal are more likely to meet it.
F. Research shows that tough, specific goals get better results than easy, vague ones.
G. That means living with fewer goals, and with purpose, direction and openness instead.

Living in a competitive and dishonest community was not always easy. People kept walking in and out, wearing artificial smiles. All selfish souls! Finally. my parents decided to have a breath of fresh air. We were on vacation, having driven to New Hampshire. We wouldn’t see fiends on family—it would be just me, my parents, and my little brother, Wyatt, out for a nice, socially distanced week away.
We had hiked about half a mile to a popular spot called Dianna’s Baths, where the water falls of a series of flat stones on the mountainside. The baths were full of families, so we made our way 1o one of the upper levels of rock to keep our distance.
Both where we sat and down below, the waler poured and fell into small pools, where kids in swimsuits were splashing around. We couldn’t help rushing to join them. Some parents nervously drove their kids away from the rocks’ edges, while my parents were grateful that they were out of that stage, so we two, at sixteen and eight. could keep our physical space with more confidence Don’t get me wrong: Mom was sill terrified as she saw us jump between the slippery rocks, “No running,” she said again and again. “Stay away from all those edges.”
But she soon relaxed, and we were all having fun, splashing in the pools. Then, seconds later, things changed.
I turned and saw my Wyatt sitting down between two stones in a fast-moving stream. I yelled at him to get out. He yelled back something that I couldn’t hear, and then he disappeared over the edge.
it was about 12 feet from the top of the waterfall to the pool below, where there were many huge rocks. All I remember from the moments is mother’s screaming. over and over, like a prayer, “Somebody help my son!” My father was already dashing down the rocks, when 1 heard another woman scream. “That child just went over the waterfall!” she shouted at her husband. “Hurry up! Let’s give them a helping hand!”

第二节 读后续写（25 分）
While everyone else looked on from a distance, this young woman didn’t hesitate. She rushed out and sprinted down the rocks. Seeing my father had pulled Wyatt out of the water, she gave him a striped towel to put under his head. “Keep him still and on his back in case he had injured his spine.” She ordered. She told us that she was a nurse and had already had her husband call for the ambulance. “Will he survive?” I asked in a trembling voice. She nodded firmly. (75 words)
The ambulance came, taking Wyatt out of the park on a stretcher. Soon, Wyatt was rushed to hospital. There were tests and scans. Wyatt had three broken ribs — injuries that sound horrific but heal on their own. As I knew that Wyatt would be OK, my thoughts fell to the kind woman. She was the one who went toward the unthinkable instead of turning away. The competitive society was forcing us to keep a certain social distance, but it wouldn’t stop us from receiving a helping hand. (75 words)

M: I’ll get you a study guide. We are in the same study group. (11) So I’ll make sure we’re both well prepared. W: Thanks, Gene. Mr. Nielson’s class has been so challenging, and my team did quite poorly on our last group project. My four teammates felt so upset.
M: Luckily, we are in pairs for this test. Now, look at this list. Humans have around 206 bones in their bodies. Your heart beats over 100,000 times per day, and…
W: Those facts are hard to remember!
M: Don’t worry. I’m going to write these facts down on cards, so we can review them wherever we go. Can you help me with that? (12)
W: Sure, but my brother’s picking me up in 45 minutes. So, I’ll have to leave the library around then. (13)
M: Well, then, we’d better get to work.

W: What’s the matter? (15) You look pale.
M: I’ve got another bad headache. (15)
W: Oh no. You’re getting them all the time!
M: I know. I thought I was going to be sick earlier. I’ve taken the medicine my doctor gave me.
W: Good.
M: I feel a little better, although the pain is still there. The worst thing is that these pills make me feel very sleepy. I don’t know how I’m going to stay awake in class this afternoon!
W: Why don’t you go home? I’m sure your teachers will understand.
M: I might do, if my mom can pick me up. She thinks I should try traditional Chinese medicine. (16)
W: That’s a good idea.
M: You think?
W: Well, if what your doctor gave you isn’t really helping, why not try something else?
M: Good point.
W: I went to a doctor earlier. He practiced traditional Chinese medicine to help me with my skin problems. (17)
M: Did you?
W: Yeah. He gave me a special herbal(药草的) tea. It tasted horrible, but it made a huge difference! (17) Before this, I had already tried every pill and face wash on the market with no success.
M: Well, that’s very encouraging.
W: Oh dear, you really look unwell. Come on. Let’s go to the school office, and get them to call your mom.
M: OK, thanks. You’re a good friend.

Hello, everyone. This is the final team meeting before we travel to Thailand. (18) I’d like to tell you about the three different projects that we are running there. Before I go on though, let me tell you that we will be leaving on the 1st of June, and we will be coming back on the 19th of June. (18) I hope that won’t be a problem for anyone. Now, for the first project, (19) (20) we are helping to feed homeless people in Bangkok. We will set up some camps for people to come, eat and sleep. Secondly, we will be going to help clear up some beaches in the southern islands of Thailand, (19) some of which are damaged from tourism. This includes swimming into the ocean and helping the sea life to recover, as we will be helping to remove some of the rubbish down there. Finally, we will travel to the east region of Thailand. Here, we are focusing on planting new trees. (20) The region is home to many kinds of birds, so it is very important that they have a safe protected home. OK? Has anyone got any questions on any of those?
