Inspired by Arctic Life
Polar bears are warm-blooded animals with heavy fat and fur that can survive in freezing Arctic temperatures. A team of students from the Royal Danish Academy, inspired by polar bears, designed a pop-up igloo(弹出式冰屋)—an emergency tent that might make survival in sub-zero areas much more 31______.
Led by Henry Glogau, the team said that their design can help those lost or 32______ in extreme conditions. With little visibility and no phone coverage，people may face severe 33______ while waiting for rescue in cold polar areas. Rather than fight against the extreme conditions, the team looked to use them to its advantage. "Inspired by snow caves and the 34______ winter-used tents, we treat snow as a building material rather thana burden," the team told Vigor Times website.
The pop-up igloo adopts a mylar (聚酯薄膜) material, which works similarly to polar bears’ skin. Besides their thick fat and fur, polar bears have black skin underneath, which is ideal for absorbing 35______ from the Arctic sun. In the same way, the mylar material reflects heat into the area within the tent to keep people feeling comfortable. The pop-up igloo also features an origami-like(像折纸的) design, which helps to trap the snow and 36______ the tent. The origami pockets create areas where snow can 37______ up on the outside. It prevents heat from escaping from the tent, while holding the tent to the ground. This adds another protective 38______ to everything inside.
To check its capabilities and limits， the team put the design through intensive testing for one month in Alaska. The analysis indicates that an average 37℃ 39______ in temperature between indoors and outdoors could be maintained. In the future, the pop-up igloos could be 40______ along hiking routes in cold areas like the Arctic, where they could be set up in seconds when needed.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A (15分)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Has someone ever told you something that made you doubt your own memory or judgment? If so, you may be a 41______ of gaslighting. “Gaslighting" is a kind of psychological abuse to gain 42______ over others by purposely making other people think they're wrong even when they're right. The term comes from Patrick Hamilton's play in 1938. Lead character Jack Manningham seeks to convince his wife Bella that she is 43______, by saying she is imagining the dimming(变暗) of the gas light in their home, when it was actually he who lowered the brightness of the light.
Gaslighting is initially used to talk about what happens in romantic relationships. However, many individuals also experience gaslighting at work. 44______, a recent survey has found that 58% of the respondents said they have experienced gaslighting at work. It's 45______ since gaslighting usually involves a power relationship and a need to control others. In the workplace, the 46______ between a boss and his employee can be the perfect breeding(滋生的) ground for this type of behavior. Your boss might tell you to handle an assignment in a certain way, but when you do, he gets 47______ and says it wasn't what he wanted. It makes you feel like your memory is 48______. In other situations, your boss may exclude you from a meeting 49______ and when you ask him about it, he might accuse you of being too sensitive instead of answering your question directly.
In order to find out whether your boss's behavior really 50______ gaslighting or he is just a poor communicator, you could write down your experiences and ask yourself what really happened, what his motives might have been, and how your emotion was 51______. But always be careful because gas lighters know how to fly under the radar(雷达). They are skilled at weakening an employee's confidence and sense of reality in a clever and 52______ way.
To protect yourself, at the end of the conversation with your boss, repeat back what you heard and follow up with an e-mail restating the main points, 53______ the interactions between you two. But don't get your hopes high that this will automatically solve the problem, Robin Stern, author of The Gaslight Effect, warns, because it's hard to get a gas lighter to 54______ his behavior pattern. If things don't improve, you may want to consider getting out of the gaslighting situation by looking for a new position. lt may be one of the best things you can do for your_55_well-being.

Section B(22分)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
What's wrong with being an amateur? While reading a recently published report saying “many people who attend plays are themselves involved in a form of amateur drama"，August Schulenburg of the Flux Theatre Ensemble questioned the divide between amateurs and professional artists.
One reason for the barrier, he suggests, is fear. “When professional arts organizations perceive their value under threat, they must draw rigid lines to protect it. Amateurs are pushed aside out of fear that they will somehow endanger the professional brands.”
But for Schulenburg，it's an outmoded attitude towards amateurs. “The professional artist must be among them and of them; the amateur must be an equal partner at the table.” It sounds a lot like he is advocating the kind of large-scale community work. If so, he might have a point.
The importance of forming a community rather than a passive audience is something Douglas MacLennan also picked up on recently over a blog. In a post headlined "Pay attention! If selling tickets is your business model，you've got a problem", he argues that theatres and other arts institutions will only survive if they “build community rather than audience". The idea is that you give the public reasons to engage with your company, you build loyalty so that their support is more than just a consumer transaction (交易). Abigail Katz, a regular theater-goer，wonders whether theatres offer good value for money. She has written recently in a post at the Playgoer blog that much of the theatre" doesn't do anything ... doesn't make me feel anything". Lynn Conner, one author of the report, also mentioned "I believe what today's potential arts audiences most want out of an arts event is the opportunity to co-author meaning. They don't want the arts; they want the experience. They want to gain the cultural rights by forming and exchanging opinions that are valued in the community."
56. What do the two underlined pronouns "they" respectively refer to?
A. rigid lines; professional brands
B. amateurs; professional arts organizations
C. professional brands; rigid lines
D. professional arts organizations; amateurs
57. Which of the following does August Schulenburg agree with?
A. Rigid lines must be drawn to protect professional arts.
B. It is unwise for theatres to overlook amateur audience.
C. Theatres must produce serious plays to attract the audience.
D. The artists should dine together with the amateurs at the table.
58. In paragraph 4, the words of Abigail Katz are cited ________.
A. to highlight the necessity of surveying customers' feelings
B. to emphasize the importance of advertising through blogs
C. to indicate the failure of theatres to engage the audience
D. to complain about the high price of the theatre plays
59. According to this passage, theatres should put ________ first.
A. the audience's sense of participation
B. the quality of professional plays
C. the actors' personal experiences
D. the control of cultural rights
(B)
The 2022 World Cup has come to an end. Let's review some facts about the hi-tech turf(草皮) that Qatar had spent much of its energy on.
Qatar, a desert nation, had three main challenges: water, air and light. It got almost every condition going against it. The water used to irrigate(灌溉) the grass is low quality, mainly treated seawater. Because of the desert sun, Qatar 's stadiums were built for maximum shade-great for preventing heatstroke, but less ideal for photosynthesis(光合作用). Inside the nearly-closed stadiums, there's very little air movement.
Qatar identified pitch(球场) quality as a particular issue and set up the Aspire Sport Turf Research and Development Centre to find the best types of grass for use in the harsh climate，testing 24 different varieties. Eventually, Atlas Turf's grass was chosen as much for its appearance as its tolerance for the tough conditions Qatar faces.
The following pictures show some tech facts about the turf，which ensures a consistent and durable surface for the players in all weather conditions.

60. What information can we learn from the passage?
①the conditions against grass growing in Qatar
②the material the stadiums were built with
③the supplier of the turf grass
④the efforts Qatar made to select the most suitable grass
⑤the technology involved in making the turf
⑥the tough challenges facing the football players
A.①③④⑤
B.①③⑤⑥
C.②③④⑤
D.②④⑤⑥
61. Atlas Turf's grass is chosen probably because ______.
A. it has very little air movement
B. it becomes rough in windy weather
C. it is shade-tolerant
D. it appears to have a golden color
62. Which of the following is TRUE about the turf?
A. 24 types of grass have been planted on the turf.
B. Damage to the turf can be recovered quickly.
C. Artificial grass covers 70 percent of the turf.
D. Water can be saved at the bottom of the turf.
(C)
Peter and Minke van Wingerden have created something wild: a herd of cows floating on the sea. The Dutch husband-and-wife team's experiment on sustainable agriculture, called Floating Farm, can be found in the port of Rotterdam. The modernist structure houses 40 cows, who collectively produce some 200 gallons of milk a day. In addition to helping nourish(滋养) the local community, the waterborne farm is playing a part in the global conversation about how the climate crisis is pushing farmers to reconsider how——and where—they produce food.
Floods, extreme heating, droughts and even rising night temperatures have sent the food system off balance. The race to outsmart the constant attack of extreme weather has made the world of farming unrecognizable from what it was only decades ago. A team of scientists in Mexico is developing wheat types that can adapt themselves to different climates, while Jack's Solar Garden in Longmont, Colorado, is a testbed for the emerging method of solar farming.
Rotterdam has already established itself as one of the most climate-adaptive places in the world. Everything from office buildings to entire neighborhoods are built on water in the city, which is 90% below sea level. The Wingerdens' Floating Farm was anew but necessary attempt. Should a weather crisis arise, a waterborne farm isn't necessarily stuck in place. A former property developer with a background in engineering, Peter found his inspiration for the Floating Farm in a climate disaster in New York City, where Hurricane Sandy prevented the delivery of fresh food to millions. The Wingerdens’ model is ripe for reproduction—which is exactly what the Floating Farm's team of 14 are working on now. Plans are under way for a floating vegetable farm to move into the space next to the current Floating Farm. Permit applications are also out for similar structures in Dubai, Singapore and the Dutch cities of Haarlem and Arnhem.
The new projects will apply lessons learned from Floating Farm. "You need to build a house in order to know how to build a house,” Peter says. The biggest obstacle she sees ahead，however，are not financial or physical，but rather political and administrative." One of the biggest challenges we come across worldwide is regulations. Cities need to have disruptive thinking, cities need to have disruptive departments, and cities need to have areas where you can say: OK, this is the experimental zone.” Because what Peter and his team are pulling off is of a different order than the typical sustainability measures. "We are not innovative," he says. "We are disruptive."
63. Which of the following is TRUE about the Floating Farm?
A. It is the first modern farming attempt to fight climate change.
B. It is a model of new agriculture in the age of climate crisis.
C. lt has outsmarted other forms of farming like solar farming.
D. It copies a similar structure in Dubai ready for reproduction.
64. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. 90% of the population in Rotterdam live below the sea level
B. The New York City is working hard to fight climate change
C. The local community will not be fed without new farming
D. Waterborne facilities are necessary to the future of Rotterdam
65. The phrase “disruptive thinking” in the last paragraph means “thinking _______”.
A. in a daring and unusual way
B. in a focused and logical way
C. in a careful and detailed way
D. in a rude and unpleasant way
66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Is Rotterdam Built on Water?
B. Can Floating Farming Survive?
C. Are Cows at Sea the Future of Farming?
D. Is Extreme Weather Affecting Agriculture?

A. Bedtime rituals can also help you reduce anxiety.
B. For adults, bedtime rituals typically last 30 minutes to an hour.
C. But engaging in some bedtime activities could actually help you sleep better.
D. Then when the time comes to fall asleep, you'll be ready.
E. There's no fixed format for the perfect bedtime ritual.
F. Evidence indicates that people who read a book in bed have better sleep quality.
Bedtime Rituals
At the end of a long day, you might want to collapse in front of the TV and watch an episode of your favorite show. 67_________ Settling down with a cup of lemon tea or reading a book can tell your body it's time to sleep. If you turn these activities into a ritual—that is, if you do them every night around the same time-you will be all the more likely to get the rest you need.
A bedtime ritual is important not only because it prepares you for sleep but also because it helps establish healthy sleep habits. If your current habits don't support good sleep, a bedtime ritual can help you make necessary changes. 68_________ Worry can make it hard to fall asleep at night, but for some people, anxiety at bedtime is common. Rituals can provide comfort by offering predictability and structure. Some rituals, such as journaling, might also relieve anxiety by giving the writer a fresh perspective or sense of meaning.
69_________ Consider trying several bedtime rituals before settling on a consistent routine. What's important is figuring out what works for you. Start out with two or three activities according to your needs and preferences. If you enjoy exercise and movement, try yoga or gentle stretching. If you find comfort in order, create a to-do list for the next day. If classical music calms you, turn on some Bach or Mozart enjoying a bath.
Whether your bedtime ritual takes place in bed or somewhere else, make you’re your environment is relaxing. Wear comfortable clothes or pajamas, curl up(蜷曲) under a cozy blanket, and keep the lights low. 70_________

71. Museum Craze Involves More Teenagers
More museums are here waiting for you! China's capital, Beijing, is going to open another batch (一批) of museums this year. The building of a new branch of the Palace Museum, one of the world's most visited tourist attractions, kicked off as well.
As the museum craze has grown stronger in the past few years, teenagers in China have become more involved in exploring museums，where they can immerse (沉浸) themselves in modern technology as well as culture from the past. According to Educator magazine，visits by teenagers to museums each year increased from 220million to 290 million in the past 5 years. Among the increasing numbers of museum visitors，many of them were teenagers accompanied by their families，reported Guangming Daily earlier this month.
To draw younger visitors, many museums are creating more offline activities for the purpose of spreading Chinese culture. They include artifact making, night visits, secret adventures，treasure evaluation，and some interesting courses. At the China Hangzhou Arts & Crafts Museum, for example, teenagers gathered around to make paper umbrellas during the Spring Festival holiday. With white gloves on and little spades in their hands, visitors in Henan province got to experience the daily work of archaeologists(考古学家). Apart from the activities，some museums even open branches especially designed for teenagers. A hall called Popular Agricultural Science for Young Visitors is a special branch launched by China Agricultural Museum. It is an exhibition hall that combines both visual and audio technology to involve teenagers in agriculture. Besides these offline approaches, a number of museums have also created official websites for teenagers, the Palace Museum in particular. Online visitors may go on an exciting adventure on the website in the style of a comic book.
