The Dream of Life by Philip Walker tells the unique and magical story of a girl and her mother living in a small room with no windows. The space between the walls of the room was actually all the girl knew because she had been born there. It’ll shock you, grieve you, and finally make you happy when you finish it. Attracted from the start, all kinds of readers don’t want to put it down. ◆Published in October 2022 ◆Publisher: University College of London PressThe Dream of the Celt by Mario Vargas Llosa is the first novel that will take readers through the major events of the 20th century through three families. Much of its action is centered on World War II. Although it’s more than 700 pages long and has many characters, the stories are very closely connected. ◆Published in August 2022◆Publisher: Imperial College London PressThe fiction master Tony Morrison returns with The Homecoming, a novel about a world-famous scientist. It is an interesting story, totally out of the ordinary, as good as anything a writer has ever written. Newly married people can learn much from the book. ◆Published in April 2022◆Publisher: Oxford University PressKelteas Imley’s new work, The Invisible Fate, was an international best seller before its UK release in July. While it’s well written and sometimes funny, don’t be fooled-it’s not a feel-good romantic comedy. If you decide to read it, be prepared for some heavy moments. ◆Published in July 2022 ◆Publisher: Cambridge University Press21. What can be learnt about The Dream of Life? A. It’s a collection of several stories.  B. It has an unattractive beginning. C. It’s suitable for children only.  D. It has a happy ending. 22. Which book is helpful for young couples? A.

The trees could save Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, sitting on the Arabian Sea, from climate disaster. He comes to Bundal Island several times a week to document the illegal cutting of mangrove trees. Very often, “you can’t hear a single bird because the chain saws are so loud. The trees are cut down illegally for firewood,” he says, shaking his head. Besides, developers clear the mangroves to make room for new buildings. Karachi has a hot climate, and its concrete buildings and paved roads make it even hotter. Offshore, there are islands where mangroves grow. They could be the key to slowing climate change. Mangrove forests pull carbon dioxide out of the air, holding four times as much of the planet-warming gas as other forests can. They support diverse ecosystems. As sea levels rise with global warming, the trees could play a big role in protecting coastal cities like Karachi from flooding. Karachi’s mangroves are disappearing. But its numbers are rising in other parts of Pakistan. With replanting efforts, the country has tripled (三倍于) its mangrove coverage over the past 30 years. Qaiser’s work may have worked. Recently, a court in Karachi declared Bundal Island’s mangroves to be protected forests. But unforested parts of the island remain unprotected, and developers want to build there. City officials say this could provide much-needed housing and bring in billions of dollars. They claim that some of that money could be used to plant mangroves in other parts of Pakistan. Ecologist Rafiul Haq appreciates Qaiser’s “extraordinary work” educating the public about mangroves. But he wishes Qaiser would look at the bigger picture. Only 7% of Pakistan’s mangroves are in Karachi, Haq says. He thinks it’s wrong “to focus on the losses in 7% of the country while ignoring the success in 93%” of it. But Qaiser believes it’s important to protect every bit. 24. What can we say about Karachi’s mangroves? A. They’re eating into the building land.  B. They’re suffering serious illegal-cutting. C. They’re mainly being used as firewood.  D. They’re attracting different kinds of birds. 25. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning mangrove trees? A. Their different birthplaces.  B. Their huge diversity. C. Their bonds with nature.  D. Their rapid growth. 26. What do the Karachi officials want to do? A. Grow mangroves somewhere else.  B. Build fences to protect mangroves. C. Circle more mangrove reserves.  D. Use mangroves to make more money. 27. What does Haq think of Qaiser’s work on Karachi’s mangroves? A. Fruitful.  B. Cost-effective.  C. Inconsistent.  D. One-sided. CRecently, there have been huge advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs that create art. Dall-E 2, a tool from OpenAI, uses AI to create excellent paintings, photos, and other artworks in many different styles based on simple descriptions. Since then, OpenAI has changed its rules to allow people to sign up and use the tool, but it’s still putting strong controls on the art that can be created. However, now there’re several other AI tools that work in similar ways. They are free or cheap, and don’t have some of Dall-E 2’s limits. Midjourney is a website that allows users to create images (图像) from short descriptions. Stable Diffusion is similar, but users can also run the program on their own computers. The new tools are puissant, allowing people to quickly see almost any idea they can imagine, even if they aren’t artists. For some creative workers, like those at companies that create ads or images, the tools allow them to quickly explore new ideas. These AI programs can make strange mistakes. But with the right description, they’re able to create images of just about anything in just about any style. Artists say that they’re now competing against computers for attention, prizes and jobs. It’s hard for a single artist to compete against all the art and photography that have ever appeared on the Internet. In August, 2022, an artwork created with Midjourney won first prize at the Colorado State Fair, which upset many people. The images and the descriptions used to train these AI programs are taken from the Internet. Their creators haven’t given permission for their images to be used. But their skills and talents are a huge part of what makes the new tools so successful. This has raised questions about whether what these tools are doing is fair or legal. This is an area where the law isn’t clear. Some artists’ groups say artists should get to decide if their works can be used by these tools. 28. What do we know about OpenAI? A. It’s created several AI art tools.  B. It’s earned much money for itself. C. It’s made Dall-E 2 access limited.  D. It’s possessed many works of art. 29. What does the underlined word “puissant” mean in paragraph 3? A. Expensive.  B. Powerful.  C. Time-consuming.  D. Risk-taking. 30. Which word best describes the artists facing the AI art tools? A. Stressful.  B. Doubtful.  C. Cheerful.  D. Grateful. 31. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph? A. Technology advances faster than lawmaking.  B. The training images will be open to the public. C. AI tools will be banned because of copyright.  D. Artists lack the skills to create modern works. DAnts have the ability to smell out cancer cells in humans, a new study has discovered, suggesting they could be used for cancer diagnosis (诊断) in future. Researchers discovered that ant species called Formica fusca has a well developed sense of smell. It was able to distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells in humans, thanks to their sense of smell, limited trials showed. But more clinical tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said. They suggest that in future, ants could turn out to be better at dogs when it comes to locating cancer cells in humans. To conduct their research, the scientists performed tests with 36 ants smelling cells under a lab setting. First, the specialists exposed the ants to the smell of a sample of human cancer cells. This smell was then associated with a reward of sugar solution. In a second step, the researchers exposed the ants to two different smells. One was a new smell and the second was the smell of the cancer cells. Once this test was successful, the scientists exposed the ants to different cancer cells. As such, the scientists found that “ants can distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells and different cancer cells.” After training, Formica fusca ant can recognize the VOC sent out by cancer cells. This isn’t the first time that scientists have used the animal sense of smell to locate cancer cells. “Dogs noses are well suited for medical diagnosis and used for the recognition of cancer,” the researchers explained. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year. “Therefore, ants, as a tool for identifying cancer cells, are fast, efficient, cheap and have strong discrimination,” the team explained. “Our approach can also be used in a range of other complex smell identification tasks in the future, including identifying drugs, explosives, spoiled foods or diseases such as malaria.” 32. Why do scientists choose ants Formica fusca to experiment? A. They behave much better than dogs.  B. They are easy to be found in nature. C. They are more efficient and cheaper.  D. They have a perfect sense of smell. 33. Which aspect of the study is paragraph 3 about? A. Its purpose.  B. Its procedure.  C. Its background.  D. Its significance. 34. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To explain an unusual cure for cancer.  B. To report the process of training ants. C. To introduce a new way to identify cancer.  D. To predict a medical study’s breakthrough. 35. What’s the best title of the text? A. Ants operate on cancer patients.  B. Ants can stop humans getting cancer. C. Scientists find ants are cancer-free.  D. Ants can smell cancer effectively. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据对话内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。Email is a way of sending messages and data to other people by means of computers connected together in a network, which plays a very important role in our daily life. It is something that most of us use almost every day.   36  First of all, someone sends you a joke and doesn’t give you license to send it to your whole address book.   37   The same is true for emails that say “send this on” or that promise you rewards for it. Even if it is amusing or really interesting, stop and consider if it is appropriate to send it to others. If you have work addresses for your contacts, do not send it to anyone’s place of employment if there is any inappropriateness.   38   Therefore, don’t get them in trouble by sending something that is not appropriate.   39   Don’t worry. Please put the contacts in the BCC line, which means “blind carbon copy”. This way, all of your contacts are protected. When receiving an email, if it is a personal note, the polite thing to do is to acknowledge it, even if it is just a quick return email to say “thanks!”   40  Use a subject line that clearly lets the receiver know what the email is regarding, which helps the receiver to decide whether there is need for him/her to read the email attentively or not. A. Never show your name in your emails. B. If it’s not absolutely amusing, don’t send it. C. How about sending your emails to all your friends? D. Many people have strict rules about what they can send and receive. E. It’s rude to receive a friendly email from a friend or co-worker and just ignore it. F. What if you ignore the above advice and send out emails to your whole address book? G. But there are some tips for good manners when it comes to sending or receiving emails. 第三部分  语言知识运用 (共两节，满分45分) 第一节 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。98-year-old Mae Amburgey survived the historic 2022 Kentucky floods after her granddaughter shared an alarming photo.
