Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none﹣that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an unusual canvas (画布)﹣the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.

Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was walking aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then, Jim has travelled over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.

Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven’t changed﹣all he needs is a stick, a garden rake (耙) and most importantly, his lively imagination!

Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, in search of perfect sand. His latest piece of work was created in the desert sands of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away.

Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named Sandman in 2005. Jim Denevan is not just a sand artist he is also an excellent cook and started an organisation called “Outstanding in the Field”, whose motto (座右铭) is to celebrate food at its source. Accordingly, group dining (用餐) events are held outdoors on farms with the diners being treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.

24. What do we know about Denevan?

 A. He used to be a cook.

 B. He has a gift for creating sand art.

 C. He is eager to put his work on show

 D. He showed artistic talents at a very young age.

25. What can we learn from the text?

 A. It is not hard for Denevan to find suitable sand.

 B. Denevan is very choosy about his drawing tools

 C. Denevan walks a lot to complete his work at times.

 D. It takes a long time for the storm to destroy Denevan’s work.

26. What does Denevan enjoy about his work according to the text? 

 A. Walking a long distance.     

 B. Waiting for the storm to come.

 C. Looking for a suitable canvas. 

 D. Watching nature destroy his work.

27. Which of the following can best describe Denevan?

 A. Generous.  B. Open-minded.  C. Imaginative.  D. Traditional.

C

Contrary (相反的) to the long-held belief that plants in the natural world are always in competition, new research has found that in tough environments adult plants help smaller ones and grow well as a result.

Dr Rocio said “If you’re a seedling (幼苗) in an unproductive landscape﹣the top of a mountain or a sand hill, for example, and you’re lucky enough to end up underneath a big plant, your chances of survival are certainly better than if you landed somewhere on your own. What we have found , which was surprising , is that an established large plant, called a ‘nurse’, protects a seedling; it also produces more flowers than the same plants of similar large size growing on their own.”

Other benefits of nurse-seedling partnerships include that more variety of plants growing together can have a positive effect on the environment. For example, vegetation areas with nurse plants with more flowers might be able to attract higher numbers of pollinators (传粉者) in an area, in turn supporting insect and soil (土壤) life, and even provide a wider variety of fruit types for birds and other animals.

“The biggest winner for this system of nursing a plant is biodiversity (生物多样性),” Dr Rocio said. “The more biodiverse an area, the greater number of species of plants, insect life, birds and other animals, and the better the chances of long-term healthy functioning of the environment and ecosystems. This system is win-win for adult and seedling plants in difficult environments .

The research is of value to those who manage and protect plants in tough environments. Most home gardeners and farmers plan to ensure their soil and conditions are the best they can be for plant growth, but the findings might be of value to those who garden in unproductive places.

28. What did people use to think about plants?

 A. They can help each other.       B. They compete with each other.

 C. They grow better without competition.    D. They can’t survive in tough environments.

29. What will happen to seedling plants if they grow under adult plants?

 A. They will produce more flowers.     B. They will benefit from adult plants.

 C. They won’t survive due to competition.    D. They will slow down adult plants’ growth.

30. What do we know about the nurse-seedling partnership?

 A. It is good for the ecosystem.      B. It needs more nutritious soil.

 C. It requires larger living space.      D. It may have a bad effect on animals.

31. Who might find the research useful?

 A. People studying animal behaviour.   B. People managing productive farm land.

 C. People protecting plants on sand hills.  D. People wanting to change soil conditions.

D

The Fifth National List of Representative Elements of Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) of China was announced, adding 185 items to the list, including the skills of making luosifen.

Luosifen, or river snail rice noodles, is a dish known for its special smell in the southern Chinese city of Liuzhou. Combining the traditional food of the Han people with that of the Miao and Dong ethnic (民族的) groups, luosifen is sour, spicy, salty, hot and even smelly after being boiled.

Originating in Liuzhou in the 1970s, luosifen served as an inexpensive street snack that people outside of the city knew little about. In 2012, luosifen appeared in a hit Chinese food TV program, A Bite of China. After that, it became a household name.

The development of the Internet, especially the boom of e-commerce, has brought this Chinese local food passion to a new level. Luosifen often shows up in videos by food bloggers. One of the most influential (有影响力的) bloggers has 15.5 million followers on social media. Her video of how to make luosifen has gained millions of views on the websites abroad.

The development of the Internet allowed luosifen to be well received. According to data from main e-commerce platforms, the turnover of luosifen in 2021 was 15 times more than that of 2020, with the number of buyers growing 9 times year on year.

As luosifen becomes more and more popular, the local government is trying to establish the official international position of this unique fine food. Authorities in Liuzhou City have applied for UNESCO’s recognition of luosifen as an intangible cultural heritage.

32. What made luosifen well known around China in 2012?

 A. Its unique taste.      B. A TV program.

 C. The online eating shows.    D. Efforts from the local government.

33. What can be known about the food blogger’s video of luosifen?

 A. It makes the food blogger an Internet star.

 B. It encourages more people to make videos.

 C. It helps luosifen become known to the world.

 D. It attracts more food bloggers to make luosifen.

34. The underlined part “turnover” in paragraph 5 probably refers to the amount of         .

 A. sales   B. views   C. production   D. comments

35. In which part of a website may this text appear?

 A. Tour.   B. Education.  C. Culture.   D. Advertisement.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

While you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic (语言的) mistakes, which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill feeling between individuals.

   36   

 •Touching Someone

   37    In Mediterranean countries, if you don’t touch someone’s arm when talking to them or if you don’t greet them with kisses or a warm hug, you’ll be considered cold. But backslap (拍背) someone who isn’t a family member or a good friend in Korea, and you’ll make them uncomfortable. In Thailand, the head is considered sacred﹣never even pat a child on the head.               •Talking over Dinner

In some countries, like China, Japan and some African nations, the food is the thing, so don’t start chatting about your day’s adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner.    38  

It’s not because your group is unfriendly, but because mealtimes are for eating, not talking.

•Removing Your Shoes or Not

Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized, but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands and you’ll be considered disrespectful. So, if you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces.    39   

Once you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly sensitive to native behavior.

   40    And don’t feel offended if something seems offensive﹣like queue jumping. After all, this is a global village, and we are all very different.

 A. Personal space varies as you travel the globe.

 B. Asians consider removing shoes impolite at home.

 C. Never be completely surprised by anything.

 D. The linguistic mistake means that someone is not fully expressing his idea.

 E. Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them.

 F. If not，keep the shoes on.

 G. You’ll likely be met with silence.
