Each time Chinese New Year is approaching, preparations are underway around the world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to celebrate Chinese New Year.
London
Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed firework that knows how to welcome the new year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics (杂技), martial arts (武术), dances and operas nearby.
San Francisco
San Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the USA．The city was the main entry point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between Grant Avenue and Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.
Bangkok
With an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty food, clothes and toys. Sunday Market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.
Port Louis
Founded in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich cultural diversity. Built in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the dragon dances on the Rue Royale where Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional dragon dances through the streets.
Melbourne
The Chinatown in Melbourne, Australia was formed with the Victorian “gold rush” in the mid-19th century. According to Reuters, Melbourne Chinatown is not only the oldest Chinatown in Australia, but also the longest in all cities in the Western world. Many architectural relics of that time are still preserved, making this street a corridor of traditional Chinese architecture.
41．Which of the following has the longest history?
A．London’s Chinatown. B．San Francisco’s Chinatown.
C．Port Louis’s Chinatown. D．Bangkok’s Chinatown.

Have you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience the farm life? If not, Dr. Cindy Ayers Elliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms.
The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple. When Ayers Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation, she didn’t have to look any further than her state’s alarming health statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. “The problem was already identified,” explains Ayers Elliott. “Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn’t do research to see that. And many of the state’s greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet.”
These days, Foot Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh , naturally grown food. “Speaking of the key to my success, the co-op(合作商店) model works because we share the work and rewards,” notes Ayers Elliott. “A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team. To earn the money for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours a week on the farm, and by the end of the summer they produced 1,000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights, T-shirts, sweatsuits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts.”
“It’s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I’m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that — to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities,” Ayers Elliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism area, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home.
45．What made Ayers Elliott set up Foot Print Farms?
A．The problems faced by local farmers. B．Her further research into heart disease.
C．The failure of her career after graduation. D．The health state of people in her hometown.
46．Why does the author take the football team as an example?
A．To advocate the concept of independence. B．To stress the importance of teamwork.
C．To support the idea of the co-op model. D．To explore the key to success.
47．What is Ayers Elliot’s attitude towards the future of Foot Print Farms?
A．Optimistic. B．Skeptical. C．Cautious. D．Ambiguous.
48．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Naturally grown food benefits people’s health.
B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.
C．Ayers Elliott encourages people to keep a healthy diet.
D．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.
When you’re on a fishing boat, you may see flocks of birds following your tracks, hoping to catch a snack. Now scientists say they can use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats.
Here’s how it worked: Researchers attached data recorders to the backs of 169 albatrosses (信天翁) in the Southern and Indian oceans. The devices weighed only an ounce and a half, but they included a GPS and were able to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals coming from boats. That information was then transmitted by satellite, so the researchers could track the locations of the birds — and thus the radar-emitting boats — in real time.
The scientists then cross-checked the data against the known locations of boats, gathered from a system that boats use to declare themselves, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And differences appeared frequently.
More than a third of the times the birds’ recorders detected radar signals, and therefore a boat, no such boat appeared in the official log — meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their Automatic Identification Systems — something the researchers say probably happens in illegal fishing operations.
The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitoring tool, as long as illegal fishing operations don’t target the birds. Fortunately, such a task would be difficult.
“Around fishing boats, you can get hundreds of birds at any one time that are all flying around. So it’s not really possible to target a specific bird. And the birds with recorders on are not marked in any way. So it’s difficult for fishermen to pick out a specific bird,” said study author Samantha Patrick, a marine biologist at the University of Liverpool.
Patrick’s bigger concern is that albatrosses are often trapped by fishing lines. And though regulations have been established to prevent that happening, illegal boats don’t necessarily obey.
49．What behavior of albatrosses can be used to track illegal fishing boats?
A．Seeking snacks on a boat. B．Following a boat to catch food.
C．Monitoring the locations of the boats. D．Keeping an eye open for illegal activities.
50．What’s the purpose of data recorders attached to the backs of albatrosses?
A．To carry a GPS. B．To record the birds’ behavior.
C．To detect radar signals from boats. D．To help satellite transmit information.
51．Why did the fishing boats turn off their Automatic Identification Systems?
A．They needn’t declare themselves.
B．They were probably fishing illegally.
C．They didn’t want to send radar signals.
D．They wanted to avoid being followed by albatrosses.
52．What is the best title for the text?
A．Birds — Humans’ Friends
B．Data Recorders — A Helper to Albatrosses
C．AIS — A System to Locate Illegal Fishing Boats
D．Albatrosses — A Tool to Monitor Illegal Fishing Boats
African countries have retrieved some historic relics(遗物), which reflects the important development of human society, from European countries. Recently, Germany signed a deal for the return of hundreds of valuable artworks from the Kingdom of Dahomey in the 19th century, in what is today Benin.
But many artifacts(手工艺品) are still unluckily missing and some are on their way back. One is an eight-legged seat from the old kingdom in Uganda. The important artifact now sits at a museum thousands of kilometers away in Britain. The wooden seat is housed at the University of Oxford. It is one of at least 279 relics there taken from the Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom.
Apollo John Rwamparo is a leader of Uganda. He really values the country’s cultural relics. He requested the British to return the artifacts. Ugandan leaders are preparing to meet with the University of Cambridge in Britain about the return of such historical artifacts. The school has an unknown number of artifacts from Africa. Through many efforts,an artifact was returned to its home.
The British Museum holds a large collection of artifacts from Africa. Rose Mwanja said she had been trying hard on it and believed it could have some good effects. She is a director of Uganda’s museums. She added she could start with those that are more willing to cooperate.
Many of the artifacts from Africa cannot even be found. That led to an organization started by late Congolese art collector Sindika Dokolo. The organization offers to buy African art from collections in foreign countries, By 2020, when Dokolo died, his group had successfully recovered 15 items. However, for African governments, the recovery of artifacts remains a struggle and will take much time.
53．What does the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Thrown. B．Taken back. C．Given up. D．Organised.
54．Where is the artifact of the eight-legged seat at present?
A．In Benin. B．In Uganda. C．In Britain. D．In Germany.
55．What is Ugandan leaders’ attitude to their country’s cultural relics?
A．Curious. B．Confused. C．Uncaring. D．Concerned.
56．Which word best describes the recovery of artifacts?
A．Frightening. B．Doubtful. C．Effortless. D．Challenging.
六、阅读表达
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
The population of monarchs passing the winter in Mexico appears to have fallen. Now, the good news for Illinois’ state insects: The Field Museum in Chicago is trying to figure out what makes a successful monarch garden in the city, and it’s proper to start preparing for this summer.
The Field Museum project involves citizens reporting on spaces that researchers can’t walk into every day, like backyards. Participants sent in weekly reports, including the makeup of their garden, and development of eggs and caterpillars. The more successful gardens had more milkweed(乳汁草)and blooming plants，multiple milkweed species， and tended to be larger plots. But Klinger, an expert at the Field Museum,said one participant with a single plant watched eggs transform all the way to chrysalises(蛹). So，she said，“You just need one plant.”
In 2020,during the second season of the study, the number of caterpillars dropped even though the number of participants in the study more than doubled.
Chicago saw a hot, dry summer——its warmest on record, and Klinger said that may have affected the health of the milkweed plants. The reports out of Mexico noted this season’s eastern population drop followed an increase in forest loss, which was 4 times what it was a year ago, primarily from illegal tree cutting, as well as trees hit by wind and drought. But they also said spring and summer weather conditions were tough for milkweed blossoms and egg development in the southern US, which is largely responsible for limiting reproduction.
“But now is the optimum time to start planning to plant some milkweed. The best thing to do is what you can do. One milkweed plant in a pot on your balcony(阳台)is doing something，” Klinger said.
57．What’s the intention of the Field Museum project?
________________
58．What’s the main idea of paragraph 2?
________________
59．Why was there an increase in the forest loss?
________________
60．What is the author’s attitude towards the Field Museum project?

21．develop 22．activity 23．enough 24．store 25．family
【原文】Good morning, everyone. Today I’m going to give some advice on improving memory. First, give the brain a workout. As physical workouts can increase our muscle strength, mental workouts can increase our memory by challenging ourselves to develop new brain pathways. For example, learning a new language, solving higher-level math problems, and writing essays can serve as mental workouts. Second, do physical exercise. Physical exercise can increase blood circulation throughout our body, which sends more oxygen to our brain. Therefore, it reduces the risk of memory loss and increases the brain activity. The third tip is to get enough sleep. Sleep plays an important role in memory. While the amount of required sleep time might vary, most adults should get 7-9 hours of sleep a night to store memories in the brain. Finally, make time for family and friends. Healthy relationships are necessary to improve our memory, which helps reduce the factors that can lead to memory loss, such as stress and depression. Our memory is closely linked to both our physical and mental health, and the best way to improve our memory is to have a healthy daily routine. Thank you.

When Ayers-Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation, she didn’t have to look any further than her state’s alarming health statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease.(建造脚印农场的最初概念很简单。Ayers-Elliott毕业后回到家乡，她只需要看看该州令人担忧的健康数据，就能找到使命。无论她走到哪里，都有关于高血压、糖尿病、肥胖症和心脏病的报道)”以及“Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn’t take research to see that. And many of the state’s greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet.(太多密西西比人严重不健康，这一点无需研究就能发现。而该州许多最大的健康挑战可能直接来自不良的饮食习惯)”可知，让Ayers-Elliott成立了足印农场的原因是她家乡人们的健康状况。故选D。
46．推理判断题。根据第三段中““When speaking of the key to my success, the co-op model works because we share the work and rewards,” notes Ayers-Elliott. A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team.( Ayers-Elliott指出：“在谈到我成功的关键时，合作模式之所以奏效，是因为我们可以分享工作和回报。”温菲尔德高中足球队就是一个很好的例子)”可推知，作者举足球队为例是为了支持合作模式的想法。故选C。
47．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““It’s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I’m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that―to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities,” Ayers-Elliott remarks.(Ayers-Elliott说：“这是一个在其他地方很容易学习的模式，我期待看到我们目前的一些合作伙伴也这样做，把他们在这里学到的东西应用到其他社区。”)”可推知，Ayers-Elliott对足迹农场未来持乐观态度。故选A。

Now scientists say they can use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats. (当你在渔船上时，你可能会看到成群的鸟跟着你的足迹，希望吃到零食。现在科学家们表示，他们可以利用这些鸟的行为来追踪非法渔船)”可知，科学家们可以利用信天翁喜欢追船寻食的习性来跟踪非法捕鱼的轮船。故选B项。
50．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The devices weighed only an ounce and a half, but they included a GPS and were able to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals coming from boats. (这些设备只有1.5盎司重，但配有GPS，能够探测到渔船及其发出的雷达信号强度)”可知，绑在信天翁背上的数据记录仪的目的是用来探测船上的雷达信号及其强度的。故选C项。
51．推理判断题。根据第四段中“—meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their Automatic Identification Systems—something the researchers say probably happens in illegal fishing operations. (这意味着这些船可能关闭了自动识别系统，研究人员说这些船可能在进行非法捕鱼作业)”可知，渔船关闭自动识别系统（AIS），是因为他们可能想进行非法捕鱼。故选B项。
52．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Now scientists say they can use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats. (现在科学家说他们能利用这些鸟类行为来追踪非法渔船)”和倒数第三段中“The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitoring tool—as long as illegal fishing operations don’t target the birds. (这项研究表明，鸟类可以成为有效的船只监测工具，只要非法捕鱼者不要盯上这些鸟)”以及全文的描述，可知，文章主要讲述了研究人员可以利用信天翁喜欢追船寻食的习性来跟踪非法捕鱼的轮船，从而减少非法捕鱼情况的发生。因此本文的最佳标题选项D“信天翁——监视非法渔船的工具”符合题意。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了非洲国家从欧洲国家取回了一些反映人类社会重要发展的历史文物。最近，德国签署了一项协议，要求归还19世纪在今天的贝宁境内的达荷美王国(Kingdom of Dahomey)的数百件珍贵艺术品。但不幸的是，许多文物仍然下落不明，有些正在返回的路上。对于非洲各国政府来说，文物的恢复仍然是一场斗争，需要很长时间。
53．词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Recently, Germany signed a deal for the return of hundreds of valuable artworks from the Kingdom of Dahomey in the 19th century, in what is today Benin.”（最近，德国签署了一项协议，要求归还19世纪在今天的贝宁境内的达荷美王国(Kingdom of Dahomey)的数百件珍贵艺术品。）可知，提到归还珍贵艺术品，故可猜测，划线单词retrieved为“取回”的意思，结合选项B项Taken back.“收回，取回”意思一致。故选B项。
54．细节理解题。根据第二段中“One is an eight-legged seat from the old kingdom in Uganda. The important artifact now sits at a museum thousands of kilometers away in Britain.”（其中一个是来自乌干达古老王国的八腿座椅。这件重要的文物现在存放在数千公里外的英国博物馆里。）可知，八腿座椅的艺术品现在在英国。故选C项。
55．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Apollo John Rwamparo is a leader of Uganda. He really values the country’s cultural relics. He requested the British to return the artifacts. Ugandan leaders are preparing to meet with the University of Cambridge in Britain about the return of such historical artifacts.”（Apollo John Rwamparo是乌干达的一位领导人。他非常重视国家的文物。他要求英国归还这些文物。乌干达领导人正准备与英国剑桥大学会面，讨论归还这些历史文物的问题。）可推知，乌干达领导人对本国文物的态度是关心的。故选D项。
56．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, for African governments, the recovery of artifacts remains a struggle and will take much time.”（然而，对于非洲各国政府来说，文物的恢复仍然是一场斗争，需要很长时间。）可推知，文物的回收是具有挑战性的。故选D项。

58．考查主旨大意。根据第二段中的“The Field Museum project involves citizens reporting on spaces that researchers can’t walk into every day,like backyards. Participants sent in weekly reports,including the makeup of their garden,and development of eggs and caterpillars.(菲尔德博物馆项目涉及公民报告研究人员无法每天走进的空间，如后院。参与者每周发送报告，包括花园的组成，以及卵和毛毛虫的发育。)”可知，菲尔德博物馆项目参与者要报告自己的发现，由此可知，该段的主题是介绍菲尔德博物馆的项目。故答案是An introduction to the Field Museum project.。
59．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“The reports out of Mexico noted this season’s eastern population drop followed an increase in forest loss,which was 4 times what it was a year ago, primarily from illegal tree cutting,as well as trees hit by wind and drought.(墨西哥的报告指出，本季东部人口下降之前，森林损失增加，是一年前的4倍，主要是由于非法砍伐树木以及受风和干旱袭击的树木。)”可知，森林减少的量是一年前的4倍，基本上源于非法砍伐，以及自然灾害造成的森林数量减少。故答案是Because of the illegal tree cutting as well as trees hit by wind and drought.。
60．考查推理判断。根据首段中的“Now, the good news for Illinois’ state insects: The Field Museum in Chicago is trying to figure out what makes a successful monarch garden in the city,and it’s proper to start preparing for this summer.(现在，伊利诺伊州昆虫的好消息是：芝加哥的菲尔德博物馆正试图弄清楚是什么造就了这座城市成功的帝王花园，现在开始为今年夏天做准备是合适的。)”可知，作者在讲述这一研究时，用到了good news，由此可以推断，作者认为菲尔德博物馆项目是积极乐观的。故答案是Positive / Approving / Optimistic.。

Each time Chinese New Year is approaching, preparations are underway around the world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to celebrate Chinese New Year.
London
Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed firework that knows how to welcome the new year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics (杂技), martial arts (武术), dances and operas nearby.
San Francisco
San Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the USA．The city was the main entry point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between Grant Avenue and Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.
Bangkok
With an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty food, clothes and toys. Sunday Market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.
Port Louis
Founded in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich cultural diversity. Built in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the dragon dances on the Rue Royale where Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional dragon dances through the streets.
Melbourne
The Chinatown in Melbourne, Australia was formed with the Victorian “gold rush” in the mid-19th century. According to Reuters, Melbourne Chinatown is not only the oldest Chinatown in Australia, but also the longest in all cities in the Western world. Many architectural relics of that time are still preserved, making this street a corridor of traditional Chinese architecture.

Have you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience the farm life? If not, Dr. Cindy Ayers Elliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms.
The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple. When Ayers Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation, she didn’t have to look any further than her state’s alarming health statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. “The problem was already identified,” explains Ayers Elliott. “Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn’t do research to see that. And many of the state’s greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet.”
These days, Foot Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh , naturally grown food. “Speaking of the key to my success, the co-op(合作商店) model works because we share the work and rewards,” notes Ayers Elliott. “A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team. To earn the money for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours a week on the farm, and by the end of the summer they produced 1,000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights, T-shirts, sweatsuits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts.”
“It’s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I’m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that — to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities,” Ayers Elliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism area, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home.
45．What made Ayers Elliott set up Foot Print Farms?
A．The problems faced by local farmers. B．Her further research into heart disease.
C．The failure of her career after graduation. D．The health state of people in her hometown.
46．Why does the author take the football team as an example?
A．To advocate the concept of independence. B．To stress the importance of teamwork.
C．To support the idea of the co-op model. D．To explore the key to success.
47．What is Ayers Elliot’s attitude towards the future of Foot Print Farms?
A．Optimistic. B．Skeptical. C．Cautious. D．Ambiguous.
48．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Naturally grown food benefits people’s health.
B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.
C．Ayers Elliott encourages people to keep a healthy diet.
D．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.
When you’re on a fishing boat, you may see flocks of birds following your tracks, hoping to catch a snack. Now scientists say they can use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats.
Here’s how it worked: Researchers attached data recorders to the backs of 169 albatrosses (信天翁) in the Southern and Indian oceans. The devices weighed only an ounce and a half, but they included a GPS and were able to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals coming from boats. That information was then transmitted by satellite, so the researchers could track the locations of the birds — and thus the radar-emitting boats — in real time.
The scientists then cross-checked the data against the known locations of boats, gathered from a system that boats use to declare themselves, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And differences appeared frequently.
More than a third of the times the birds’ recorders detected radar signals, and therefore a boat, no such boat appeared in the official log — meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their Automatic Identification Systems — something the researchers say probably happens in illegal fishing operations.
The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitoring tool, as long as illegal fishing operations don’t target the birds. Fortunately, such a task would be difficult.
“Around fishing boats, you can get hundreds of birds at any one time that are all flying around. So it’s not really possible to target a specific bird. And the birds with recorders on are not marked in any way. So it’s difficult for fishermen to pick out a specific bird,” said study author Samantha Patrick, a marine biologist at the University of Liverpool.
Patrick’s bigger concern is that albatrosses are often trapped by fishing lines. And though regulations have been established to prevent that happening, illegal boats don’t necessarily obey.
49．What behavior of albatrosses can be used to track illegal fishing boats?
A．Seeking snacks on a boat. B．Following a boat to catch food.
C．Monitoring the locations of the boats. D．Keeping an eye open for illegal activities.
50．What’s the purpose of data recorders attached to the backs of albatrosses?
A．To carry a GPS. B．To record the birds’ behavior.
C．To detect radar signals from boats. D．To help satellite transmit information.
51．Why did the fishing boats turn off their Automatic Identification Systems?
A．They needn’t declare themselves.
B．They were probably fishing illegally.

African countries have retrieved some historic relics(遗物), which reflects the important development of human society, from European countries. Recently, Germany signed a deal for the return of hundreds of valuable artworks from the Kingdom of Dahomey in the 19th century, in what is today Benin.
But many artifacts(手工艺品) are still unluckily missing and some are on their way back. One is an eight-legged seat from the old kingdom in Uganda. The important artifact now sits at a museum thousands of kilometers away in Britain. The wooden seat is housed at the University of Oxford. It is one of at least 279 relics there taken from the Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom.
Apollo John Rwamparo is a leader of Uganda. He really values the country’s cultural relics. He requested the British to return the artifacts. Ugandan leaders are preparing to meet with the University of Cambridge in Britain about the return of such historical artifacts. The school has an unknown number of artifacts from Africa. Through many efforts,an artifact was returned to its home.
The British Museum holds a large collection of artifacts from Africa. Rose Mwanja said she had been trying hard on it and believed it could have some good effects. She is a director of Uganda’s museums. She added she could start with those that are more willing to cooperate.
Many of the artifacts from Africa cannot even be found. That led to an organization started by late Congolese art collector Sindika Dokolo. The organization offers to buy African art from collections in foreign countries, By 2020, when Dokolo died, his group had successfully recovered 15 items. However, for African governments, the recovery of artifacts remains a struggle and will take much time.
53．What does the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Thrown. B．Taken back. C．Given up. D．Organised.
54．Where is the artifact of the eight-legged seat at present?
A．In Benin. B．In Uganda. C．In Britain. D．In Germany.
55．What is Ugandan leaders’ attitude to their country’s cultural relics?
A．Curious. B．Confused. C．Uncaring. D．Concerned.
56．Which word best describes the recovery of artifacts?
A．Frightening. B．Doubtful. C．Effortless. D．Challenging.
六、阅读表达
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
The population of monarchs passing the winter in Mexico appears to have fallen. Now, the good news for Illinois’ state insects: The Field Museum in Chicago is trying to figure out what makes a successful monarch garden in the city, and it’s proper to start preparing for this summer.
The Field Museum project involves citizens reporting on spaces that researchers can’t walk into every day, like backyards. Participants sent in weekly reports, including the makeup of their garden, and development of eggs and caterpillars. The more successful gardens had more milkweed(乳汁草)and blooming plants，multiple milkweed species， and tended to be larger plots. But Klinger, an expert at the Field Museum,said one participant with a single plant watched eggs transform all the way to chrysalises(蛹). So，she said，“You just need one plant.”
In 2020,during the second season of the study, the number of caterpillars dropped even though the number of participants in the study more than doubled.
Chicago saw a hot, dry summer——its warmest on record, and Klinger said that may have affected the health of the milkweed plants. The reports out of Mexico noted this season’s eastern population drop followed an increase in forest loss, which was 4 times what it was a year ago, primarily from illegal tree cutting, as well as trees hit by wind and drought. But they also said spring and summer weather conditions were tough for milkweed blossoms and egg development in the southern US, which is largely responsible for limiting reproduction.
“But now is the optimum time to start planning to plant some milkweed. The best thing to do is what you can do. One milkweed plant in a pot on your balcony(阳台)is doing something，” Klinger said.
57．What’s the intention of the Field Museum project?
________________
58．What’s the main idea of paragraph 2?
________________
59．Why was there an increase in the forest loss?
________________
60．What is the author’s attitude towards the Field Museum project?

21．develop 22．activity 23．enough 24．store 25．family
【原文】Good morning, everyone. Today I’m going to give some advice on improving memory. First, give the brain a workout. As physical workouts can increase our muscle strength, mental workouts can increase our memory by challenging ourselves to develop new brain pathways. For example, learning a new language, solving higher-level math problems, and writing essays can serve as mental workouts. Second, do physical exercise. Physical exercise can increase blood circulation throughout our body, which sends more oxygen to our brain. Therefore, it reduces the risk of memory loss and increases the brain activity. The third tip is to get enough sleep. Sleep plays an important role in memory. While the amount of required sleep time might vary, most adults should get 7-9 hours of sleep a night to store memories in the brain. Finally, make time for family and friends. Healthy relationships are necessary to improve our memory, which helps reduce the factors that can lead to memory loss, such as stress and depression. Our memory is closely linked to both our physical and mental health, and the best way to improve our memory is to have a healthy daily routine. Thank you.

59．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“The reports out of Mexico noted this season’s eastern population drop followed an increase in forest loss,which was 4 times what it was a year ago, primarily from illegal tree cutting,as well as trees hit by wind and drought.(墨西哥的报告指出，本季东部人口下降之前，森林损失增加，是一年前的4倍，主要是由于非法砍伐树木以及受风和干旱袭击的树木。)”可知，森林减少的量是一年前的4倍，基本上源于非法砍伐，以及自然灾害造成的森林数量减少。故答案是Because of the illegal tree cutting as well as trees hit by wind and drought.。
60．考查推理判断。根据首段中的“Now, the good news for Illinois’ state insects: The Field Museum in Chicago is trying to figure out what makes a successful monarch garden in the city,and it’s proper to start preparing for this summer.(现在，伊利诺伊州昆虫的好消息是：芝加哥的菲尔德博物馆正试图弄清楚是什么造就了这座城市成功的帝王花园，现在开始为今年夏天做准备是合适的。)”可知，作者在讲述这一研究时，用到了good news，由此可以推断，作者认为菲尔德博物馆项目是积极乐观的。故答案是Positive / Approving / Optimistic.。
