Christian Liden decided that he would not pick out a ring from a jeweler's like most other people. He hatched an ambitious plan to create a personalized ring for his future wife, Desirae Clovis. Therefore, he made up his mind to go into the wild to find his own materials: the diamond, the gold and the accompanying jewels.
So, in May 2022，Liden told Clovis that he and Josh Tucker, his best friend, were heading out on a camp to Yellowstone. Instead, he and Tucker made for Crater of Diamonds State Park, Arkansas, which is set on a volcanic crater(坑). The park is one of the few places in the world where the public is welcome to search for real diamonds and can keep them for free. Since its opening, only 1 in 10，000 park visitors is lucky enough to find a diamond that weighs a carat or more. Still, he was up for the challenge.
On their way, Liden and Tucker stopped in Helena, Montana, to mine for accompanying jewels to add to the diamond they hoped to score. In Arkansas, the pair paid $10 each to get into the park and spent almost three days searching through the volcanic dirt.
On the third morning, Liden suddenly spotted something reflecting light in the sands. “I was so excited that I started shaking，” he said. “It was oily and shiny, and we both just knew it was a diamond.”
It was confirmed that Liden had found a 2.2carat yellow diamond. Similarlysized diamonds go for $2，500 to $20，000 per carat, depending on quality, color and cut. But the value wasn't what was important to Liden.
When he pulled out the diamond and got on his knee upon his return, Clovis was amazed. “I knew that he was going to propose someday，” she said, “but I certainly didn't expect this.”
( )24. What was Christian Liden's ambitious plan?
A. He intended his ring to consist of various jewels.
B. He would get a personalized ring from a jeweler's.
C. He decided to make a ring together with his future wife.
D. He planned to hunt for a natural diamond to create a ring.
( )25. Why did Liden and Tucker choose Crater of Diamond State Park?
A. It was the only place that charged jewel hunters nothing.
B. They were likely to find more than just natural diamonds.
C. The majority of park visitors had got their ideal diamonds.
D. The public was allowed to keep any diamond found there.
( )26. Why was Liden excited about his findings?
A. He had got the largest diamond in the park's history.
B. The value of the diamond was above his expectations.
C. He was lucky to acquire the diamond for his dream ring.
D. The quality and color of his diamond ranked among the best.
( )27. What can we learn from the story?
A. True love stories never have endings.
B. Love shows more in action than in words.
C. Absence makes two hearts grow fonder.
D. A life lived in love will never be boring.
C
This year saw the publication, in stages, of the sixth report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—a report which was depressing reading for many climate scientists, and in some ways offered a ray of hope.
Why depressing? Because the report confirmed what scientists have been saying for years: that human activity, particularly in the form of emissions(排放) of greenhouse gases, is responsible for the warming in the past few centuries, and that unless such emissions are greatly reduced, we will soon bring about our entire ecosystem's destruction.
The report concluded that 1.5°C of global warming over the next couple of hundred years is already “baked__in”. This makes the goals outlined in the 2015 Paris Agreement—that nations agreed to keep warming below 2°C, and hopefully below 1.5°C—much harder to meet. Worse still, the IPCC report was followed later in the year by the COP27 summit(峰会), described by Prof Dann Mitchell, as “a complete failure, other than some commitment to loss and damage”．
And the ray of hope? The IPCC's sixth report was broader in approach than previous studies—looking indepth for the first time at the role played in warming by shortterm greenhouse gases such as methane(甲烷), for instance.
“Reducing carbon emissions is always the best approach: stop the problem at its source，” said Mitchell. “But we also need other approaches to help with this. Methane is important, but it's so shortlived—that's why we haven't been so bothered when compared with CO2.”
The IPCC working groups showed potential adaptation paths, and they are the other things we can do in terms of fighting climate change and relieving its worst effects, rather than simply reducing carbon emissions. This would include taking measures such as switching to a more plantbased diet (to reduce methane emissions), controlling population growth, reducing financial inequality and developing means by which we might remove CO2 that's already in our atmosphere, rather than simply preventing it being released.
( )28. Which of the following can best describe the sixth report by IPCC?
A. Seemingly contradictory. B. Wholly promising.
C. Particularly hopeless. D. Exceptionally new.
( )29. What does the underlined phrase “baked in” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Out of date. B. To the full. C. Under discussion. D. In progress.
( )30. According to the passage, what can we learn about methane?
A. It has been long regarded as a major source of global warming.
B. Its role in global warming had been overlooked before the report.
C. Its boost to global warming is as much as other greenhouse gases.
D. It is considered as a new approach to reducing global warming.
( )31. How many aspects do the adaptation paths involve in the last paragraph?
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
D
Does your life ever feel as if you're pushing a heavy car—one on which you've spent much money and that has now broken down? You've done everything right: you haven't invested heavily in a new business or quit your job to pursue your childhood dream of becoming a professional athlete. You have been a sensible adult living your sensible life. So why does it feel like such hard work?
This has been me for the past few months. Earlier this year, I took a long hard look at my sources of income and decided to focus on the ones that provided the most money. I'm lucky enough to have had a good financial year. But despite doing the right thing, it has used up my energy and I've worked out why.
Years ago, I realized that I disliked hard work. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind working hard, but hard work isn't for me. What's the difference? For a start, hard work feels as if it never really gets going. You can push hard work and it might move a little but there's no celebratory moment when it gets done. Most importantly, hard work lacks joy. Working hard on a project you feel excited and moved by can be tiring and difficult, but it's ultimately joyful and that is what I've been missing.
So I asked myself what would feel scary but joyful and this is the answer. I'm going to write a romance. Of course, being a middleaged journalist who suddenly decides to write a book is nothing novel. However, for me, it hits the sweet spot between being joyful enough to make me want to do it and scary enough to make me feel it's worthwhile.
As with all good middleaged changes, this one hasn't really been thought through. I know little about writing fiction and even less about what makes a good book. I have the thinnest of ideas for a plot but, for the first time in a while, I'm excited. I will be another Jane Austen with my fantasies which give me life. So now, I have to go and sharpen my pencil.
( )32. What can best describe the author's current feeling about life?
A. A new business makes her feel fresh.
B. She has got everything under her control.
C. She is conflicted about living a sensible life.
D. A childhood dream inspires her to more efforts.
( )33. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Living a rather sensible life. B. Identifying income sources.
C. Discovering new life goals. D. Sorting out the author's jobs.
( )34. What's the author's understanding of hard work and working hard?
A. Journalism is a career worth working hard.
B. Hard work is something either sweet or tiring.
C. Writing a romance is difficult but rewarding.
D. Working hard rarely brings about satisfaction.
( )35. What is probably the best title for the text?
A. Works like a dream. B. Middleaged job crisis.
C. Celebratory moment. D. A future Jane Austen.

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。
As I stood in line waiting to cash out at a “pack your own” kind of store, where customers pack their items by themselves, I stared at the customer in front of me reading the magazines. She was young, but she already had a tired look to her, with heads bent forwards—as if life had beaten her down too many times.
Her face looked pale from extreme tiredness. Her winter coat was thin and unbuttoned. The wellworn scarf around her throat probably did little to protect it from the cold weather. Her hands, turning a few pages, were rough and red. When I looked down at her boots, I could see a small piece of a clear plastic bag partially visible through a hole in her left boot.
The items in her cart(购物车) included the cheapest cuts of meat and some things like rice and potatoes. There were also lots of noodles. Dayold bread, inexpensive soap, and tissues on sale—well, almost. In a far corner sat a little toy and a pretty dress that was 50 percent off.
She continued to look at the magazines as we waited, and more people lined up behind us. She finally took one out and turned it over several times, trying to find a price before finally turning to me.
“I'm sorry to bother you，” she began in a shy and nervous tone. “But can you tell me how much this is? I forgot my glasses at home.”
“Of course，” I said with a smile.
When I finally found the small print and told her, she shook her head and put it back.
“They've become so expensive, haven't they？” I said sympathetically.
“Next！” The cashier called in a gentle voice before she could answer, and she moved forward to begin her transaction(交易).
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
When told the cost, the woman's face paled. ________________________________________________________________________

I approached the cashier and whispered, “Include her removed items in my bill, please.”

Dear editor，
I'd like to recommend the famous saying “A journey of a thousand of miles begins with a single step.” to your column.
It was wisely put by LaoTzu. Whatever we do, we must take the first step, which paves the way for our ambition. Moreover, we still need to make continuous efforts to go further regardless of countless hardships. As a senior, we should keep motivated and move on.
I'll appreciate it if the saying is included in the column.
Yours，
Li Hua

When__told__the__cost,__the__woman's__face__paled. She opened a wornout change purse, counting small bills and change. With a deep breath, she scanned her groceries to see what she could do without. One by one, she removed things, but she still came up short. She continued to get rid of muchneeded goods while the cashier patiently took away things with a pleasant smile, setting them aside. The woman finally cut back on her groceries, paid, and moved down to pack them.
I__approached__the__cashier__and__whispered,__“Include__her__removed__items__in__my__bill,__please.” She nodded knowingly, winking at me and finishing the transaction. I moved next, wondering how to slide the extra things into her old cart. The cashier solved the problem by “accidentally” dropping several oranges which flew past the lady. “I'll get those，” the woman offered kindly to pick up the runaway fruit. I quickly finished our plan. Then, my thoughts wandered to the lady who was enjoying a hearty delicious dish with her little girl.

My guest on the show today is Alice Riches who started the Street Play Project in Beechwood Road where she lives. Street Play involves local residents closing off their street for a few hours so that children have a chance to play in the street safely with the help of volunteers. She started it in her street, Beechwood Road, and the idea caught on, and there are now Street Play Project all over the city. She first had the idea when her oldest child was still a baby, so that's about six years ago now—but it took at least two years of campaigning before she was actually able to make it happen. So the project's been up and running for four years now. She'd love to be able to close the road for longer—for the whole weekend, from Saturday morning until Sunday evening, for example. At the moment it's just once a week. But when she started, it was only once a month. But she's working on it. Now let's welcome Alice Riches.

Christian Liden decided that he would not pick out a ring from a jeweler's like most other people. He hatched an ambitious plan to create a personalized ring for his future wife, Desirae Clovis. Therefore, he made up his mind to go into the wild to find his own materials: the diamond, the gold and the accompanying jewels.
So, in May 2022，Liden told Clovis that he and Josh Tucker, his best friend, were heading out on a camp to Yellowstone. Instead, he and Tucker made for Crater of Diamonds State Park, Arkansas, which is set on a volcanic crater(坑). The park is one of the few places in the world where the public is welcome to search for real diamonds and can keep them for free. Since its opening, only 1 in 10，000 park visitors is lucky enough to find a diamond that weighs a carat or more. Still, he was up for the challenge.
On their way, Liden and Tucker stopped in Helena, Montana, to mine for accompanying jewels to add to the diamond they hoped to score. In Arkansas, the pair paid $10 each to get into the park and spent almost three days searching through the volcanic dirt.
On the third morning, Liden suddenly spotted something reflecting light in the sands. “I was so excited that I started shaking，” he said. “It was oily and shiny, and we both just knew it was a diamond.”
It was confirmed that Liden had found a 2.2carat yellow diamond. Similarlysized diamonds go for $2，500 to $20，000 per carat, depending on quality, color and cut. But the value wasn't what was important to Liden.
When he pulled out the diamond and got on his knee upon his return, Clovis was amazed. “I knew that he was going to propose someday，” she said, “but I certainly didn't expect this.”
( )24. What was Christian Liden's ambitious plan?
A. He intended his ring to consist of various jewels.
B. He would get a personalized ring from a jeweler's.
C. He decided to make a ring together with his future wife.
D. He planned to hunt for a natural diamond to create a ring.
( )25. Why did Liden and Tucker choose Crater of Diamond State Park?
A. It was the only place that charged jewel hunters nothing.
B. They were likely to find more than just natural diamonds.
C. The majority of park visitors had got their ideal diamonds.
D. The public was allowed to keep any diamond found there.
( )26. Why was Liden excited about his findings?
A. He had got the largest diamond in the park's history.
B. The value of the diamond was above his expectations.
C. He was lucky to acquire the diamond for his dream ring.
D. The quality and color of his diamond ranked among the best.
( )27. What can we learn from the story?
A. True love stories never have endings.
B. Love shows more in action than in words.
C. Absence makes two hearts grow fonder.
D. A life lived in love will never be boring.
C
This year saw the publication, in stages, of the sixth report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—a report which was depressing reading for many climate scientists, and in some ways offered a ray of hope.
Why depressing? Because the report confirmed what scientists have been saying for years: that human activity, particularly in the form of emissions(排放) of greenhouse gases, is responsible for the warming in the past few centuries, and that unless such emissions are greatly reduced, we will soon bring about our entire ecosystem's destruction.
The report concluded that 1.5°C of global warming over the next couple of hundred years is already “baked__in”. This makes the goals outlined in the 2015 Paris Agreement—that nations agreed to keep warming below 2°C, and hopefully below 1.5°C—much harder to meet. Worse still, the IPCC report was followed later in the year by the COP27 summit(峰会), described by Prof Dann Mitchell, as “a complete failure, other than some commitment to loss and damage”．
And the ray of hope? The IPCC's sixth report was broader in approach than previous studies—looking indepth for the first time at the role played in warming by shortterm greenhouse gases such as methane(甲烷), for instance.
“Reducing carbon emissions is always the best approach: stop the problem at its source，” said Mitchell. “But we also need other approaches to help with this. Methane is important, but it's so shortlived—that's why we haven't been so bothered when compared with CO2.”
The IPCC working groups showed potential adaptation paths, and they are the other things we can do in terms of fighting climate change and relieving its worst effects, rather than simply reducing carbon emissions. This would include taking measures such as switching to a more plantbased diet (to reduce methane emissions), controlling population growth, reducing financial inequality and developing means by which we might remove CO2 that's already in our atmosphere, rather than simply preventing it being released.
( )28. Which of the following can best describe the sixth report by IPCC?
A. Seemingly contradictory. B. Wholly promising.
C. Particularly hopeless. D. Exceptionally new.
( )29. What does the underlined phrase “baked in” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Out of date. B. To the full. C. Under discussion. D. In progress.
( )30. According to the passage, what can we learn about methane?
A. It has been long regarded as a major source of global warming.
B. Its role in global warming had been overlooked before the report.
C. Its boost to global warming is as much as other greenhouse gases.
D. It is considered as a new approach to reducing global warming.
( )31. How many aspects do the adaptation paths involve in the last paragraph?
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
D
Does your life ever feel as if you're pushing a heavy car—one on which you've spent much money and that has now broken down? You've done everything right: you haven't invested heavily in a new business or quit your job to pursue your childhood dream of becoming a professional athlete. You have been a sensible adult living your sensible life. So why does it feel like such hard work?
This has been me for the past few months. Earlier this year, I took a long hard look at my sources of income and decided to focus on the ones that provided the most money. I'm lucky enough to have had a good financial year. But despite doing the right thing, it has used up my energy and I've worked out why.
Years ago, I realized that I disliked hard work. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind working hard, but hard work isn't for me. What's the difference? For a start, hard work feels as if it never really gets going. You can push hard work and it might move a little but there's no celebratory moment when it gets done. Most importantly, hard work lacks joy. Working hard on a project you feel excited and moved by can be tiring and difficult, but it's ultimately joyful and that is what I've been missing.
So I asked myself what would feel scary but joyful and this is the answer. I'm going to write a romance. Of course, being a middleaged journalist who suddenly decides to write a book is nothing novel. However, for me, it hits the sweet spot between being joyful enough to make me want to do it and scary enough to make me feel it's worthwhile.
As with all good middleaged changes, this one hasn't really been thought through. I know little about writing fiction and even less about what makes a good book. I have the thinnest of ideas for a plot but, for the first time in a while, I'm excited. I will be another Jane Austen with my fantasies which give me life. So now, I have to go and sharpen my pencil.
( )32. What can best describe the author's current feeling about life?
A. A new business makes her feel fresh.
B. She has got everything under her control.
C. She is conflicted about living a sensible life.
D. A childhood dream inspires her to more efforts.
( )33. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Living a rather sensible life. B. Identifying income sources.
C. Discovering new life goals. D. Sorting out the author's jobs.
( )34. What's the author's understanding of hard work and working hard?
A. Journalism is a career worth working hard.
B. Hard work is something either sweet or tiring.
C. Writing a romance is difficult but rewarding.
D. Working hard rarely brings about satisfaction.
( )35. What is probably the best title for the text?
A. Works like a dream. B. Middleaged job crisis.
C. Celebratory moment. D. A future Jane Austen.

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。
As I stood in line waiting to cash out at a “pack your own” kind of store, where customers pack their items by themselves, I stared at the customer in front of me reading the magazines. She was young, but she already had a tired look to her, with heads bent forwards—as if life had beaten her down too many times.
Her face looked pale from extreme tiredness. Her winter coat was thin and unbuttoned. The wellworn scarf around her throat probably did little to protect it from the cold weather. Her hands, turning a few pages, were rough and red. When I looked down at her boots, I could see a small piece of a clear plastic bag partially visible through a hole in her left boot.
The items in her cart(购物车) included the cheapest cuts of meat and some things like rice and potatoes. There were also lots of noodles. Dayold bread, inexpensive soap, and tissues on sale—well, almost. In a far corner sat a little toy and a pretty dress that was 50 percent off.
She continued to look at the magazines as we waited, and more people lined up behind us. She finally took one out and turned it over several times, trying to find a price before finally turning to me.
“I'm sorry to bother you，” she began in a shy and nervous tone. “But can you tell me how much this is? I forgot my glasses at home.”
“Of course，” I said with a smile.
When I finally found the small print and told her, she shook her head and put it back.
“They've become so expensive, haven't they？” I said sympathetically.
“Next！” The cashier called in a gentle voice before she could answer, and she moved forward to begin her transaction(交易).
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
When told the cost, the woman's face paled. ________________________________________________________________________

I approached the cashier and whispered, “Include her removed items in my bill, please.”

Dear editor，
I'd like to recommend the famous saying “A journey of a thousand of miles begins with a single step.” to your column.
It was wisely put by LaoTzu. Whatever we do, we must take the first step, which paves the way for our ambition. Moreover, we still need to make continuous efforts to go further regardless of countless hardships. As a senior, we should keep motivated and move on.
I'll appreciate it if the saying is included in the column.
Yours，
Li Hua

When__told__the__cost,__the__woman's__face__paled. She opened a wornout change purse, counting small bills and change. With a deep breath, she scanned her groceries to see what she could do without. One by one, she removed things, but she still came up short. She continued to get rid of muchneeded goods while the cashier patiently took away things with a pleasant smile, setting them aside. The woman finally cut back on her groceries, paid, and moved down to pack them.
I__approached__the__cashier__and__whispered,__“Include__her__removed__items__in__my__bill,__please.” She nodded knowingly, winking at me and finishing the transaction. I moved next, wondering how to slide the extra things into her old cart. The cashier solved the problem by “accidentally” dropping several oranges which flew past the lady. “I'll get those，” the woman offered kindly to pick up the runaway fruit. I quickly finished our plan. Then, my thoughts wandered to the lady who was enjoying a hearty delicious dish with her little girl.

Street Play involves local residents closing off their street for a few hours so that children have a chance to play in the street safely with the help of volunteers. She started it in her street, Beechwood Road, and the idea caught on, and there are now Street Play Project all over the city. She first had the idea when her oldest child was still a baby, so that's about six years ago now—but it took at least two years of campaigning before she was actually able to make it happen. So the project's been up and running for four years now. She'd love to be able to close the road for longer—for the whole weekend, from Saturday morning until Sunday evening, for example. At the moment it's just once a week. But when she started, it was only once a month. But she's working on it. Now let's welcome Alice Riches.
