Some Internet Buzzwords of 2022
The chosen laborers
Derived from the Chinese term da gong ren which means “laborers” or “working people”, “the chosen laborers” refer to those who stay healthy during the pandemic, allowing them to go to work every day.
Begone
In a viral video, a woman in a parking argument was caught on camera, stomping (跺) her feet, waving her arms and repeatedly telling the other person to “begone”. The odd repetition of the Chinese term tui reminded many people of a traditional ceremony to ward off evil spirits, and the woman’s words quickly became an incantation (咒语) to protect users from bad luck or misfortune.
I have nothing to say
Literally meaning “thank you so much”, the term is now ironically used by Chinese social media users to express “being speechless”. They originally created “栓Q” to joke about the English accent of Liu Tao, a farmer who claims to be a self-taught English enthusiast on Douyin. Liu has accumulated over 2.6 million followers by sharing videos about his hometown in Guilin, in Chinese and English.
Online mouth double
Many netizens find it hard to express themselves clearly. So when they find someone who has spoken out on an issue they care about in a more persuasive way online—such as on a talk show, in a media interview, or in an online comment—they call them their hu lian wang zui ti, or “online mouth double”, as a way to express agreement and appreciation.
Cyber pickle
Just like Zha cai, or pickled vegetables, a side dish on Chinese dinner tables, cyber pickle is the perfect televised comfort food to accompany any meal. Ranging from scene plays like Friends to various short videos, cyber pickle is the embodiment (体现，化身) of empty calories.
21．What can the Chinese term tui make people think of?
A．An old ceremony to prevent evil spirits.
B．A way to escape from severe epidemic.
C．A condition to keep healthy during the pandemic.
D．A religious ceremony that can prevent people from bad luck.
22．Nowadays, the term “I have nothing to say” is designed to ______.
A．express thanks B．embody empty calories
C．convey “being speechless” D．joke about the English accent of Liu Tao
23．Which of the following can best describe that the views on ChatGPT posted on the Internet by Smith are well received?
A．The chosen laborers B．Online mouth double
C．I have nothing to say D．Cyber pickle

The South African town Hamburg is situated by one of the most beautiful estuaries (河口) in the Eastern Cape. It’s known for its rich Xhosa culture. It is also home to a group of women who have produced a series of extraordinary artworks that have been exhibited around the world.
Keiskamma Art Project was created to teach local women embroidery (刺绣) skills to help them at a tough time economically and socially, but unexpectedly it has grown into something much bigger. Having been shown at international art galleries, many of their tapestries (挂毯) are now being displayed under one roof for the first time, at an exhibition in Johannesburg.
Their story began in 2000, when Dr. Carol Hofmeyr moved from Johannesburg to Hamburg. She found that the town was struggling with high unemployment and that local women were desperate to find ways to feed their families. Having studied embroidery herself, she hoped that passing on that knowledge to local women would help empower them.
From humble beginnings, more and more women heard about the project through word of mouth. Now, over 150 women are part of the project. Selling their works provides a source of income, but the project has also created a support system for the women.
Initially, the women started out simply creating cushions (坐垫) and small handbags to sell to tourists. Eventually, they started receiving tasks for larger pieces. They were given panels about a meter in size to work on at home. By joining the completed panels together, they created the first of their large works and one of their most celebrated, “The Keiskamma Tapestry”, which tells the history of the Xhosa people who were subjugated (征服) through colonization and the Xhosa British Frontier Wars from 1776 to 1876.
Another celebrated piece is “The Keiskamma Altarpiece”, which was produced by 130 women. The four-meter-high, four-meter-wide piece reveals the struggles that elderly Xhosa women endured when the youth in their community were hit by HIV two decades ago, and they stepped in to care for children.
Recent artworks engage with contemporary issues. “COVID Resilience Tapestry” deals with the pandemic; “A New Earth and Our Sacred Ocean” is a call for environmental consciousness.
24．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To inform readers of the situation. B．To bring in the topic of the text.
C．To introduce an ancient culture. D．To promote the local artworks.
25．What is beyond people’s expectation for Keiskamma Art Project?
A．It helps a lot of women. B．It gains international fame.
C．It helps develop local economy. D．It sponsors an exhibition in Johannesburg.
26．Which of the following can best describe the process of making “The Keiskamma Tapestry”?
A．Historical. B．Game-changing. C．Cooperative. D．Time-consuming.
27．What do we know about “The Keiskamma Altarpiece”?
A．It shows the Xhosa people’s sufferings. B．It reflects on some contemporary issues.
C．It covers some pandemic-related content. D．It aims to arouse the environmental awareness.

Photosynthesis (光合作用) is a unique skill of green plants—they turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and food via sunlight. A group of Chinese scientists, however, have “copied” the process on animals.
To understand the new breakthrough, it is important to know how photosynthesis works. Plants take in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose (葡萄糖). The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air and stores energy within the glucose molecules.
In the study, the researchers from Zhejiang University developed an independent and controllable photosynthetic system, according to the study published in Nature in early December, 2022. They separated thylakoids (内囊体), a part of the cell where light reactions take place in plants, from young spinach (菠菜) leaves. The scientists then wrapped the thylakoids with the cover of animal cells, which made the implanted thylakoids more acceptable to foreign bodies. The mice used in the study were suffering from arthritis (骨关节炎), meaning cells in their cartilage (软骨) had degenerated and could not be repaired by themselves. With the thylakoids implanted into the mice and exposed to light, the mice recovered. Their metabolism (新陈代谢) returned to normal. In arthritis, patients usually have energy loss since fewer energy-carrying molecules are generated. The implant, however, can correct the imbalance by storing more energy via photosynthesis. The researchers also claimed that their tests would have medical usage. It can be used as part of the solution for degenerative diseases because the natural photosynthesis system may repair cells. It may also delay the aging process in cells.
The study showed “an exciting achievement that opens up possibilities of metabolism engineering,” commented one of the paper’s reviewers Francisco Cejudo, from the University of Seville in Spain, reported Xinhua.
28．What does the study focus on?
A．Whether photosynthesis works on animals.
B．How photosynthesis prevents degenerative diseases.
C．Why degenerative diseases are harmful.
D．What the scientists have done for the metabolism engineering.
29．What does the underlined word “degenerated” probably mean?
A．Engaged. B．Infected. C．Worsened. D．Reproduced.
30．What can we learn from the text?
A．The study has greatly facilitated metabolism engineering.
B．Energy loss partially accounts for degenerative diseases.
C．The tests succeed in undergoing clinical trials.
D．The implant can generate more energy.
31．What does the paper reviewer think of the tests?
A．They are inefficient. B．They are demanding.
C．They are unfounded. D．They are promising.

There’s no single known cause for autism (自闭症), but researchers now point the finger at higher lithium (锂) levels in drinking water. Their new study found that pregnant women in Denmark whose household tap water had higher levels of lithium were more likely to have kids with autism, compared to pregnant women living in areas where tap water had lower levels of this element.
“Maternal prenatal (妊娠期) exposure to lithium from naturally occurring drinking water sources in Denmark was associated with an increased autism spectrum disorder risk in the offspring,” said study author Dr. Beate Ritz, a professor of neurology. “This suggests a potential fetal neurotoxicity (神经毒性) of lithium exposure from drinking water that needs to be further investigated.”
For this latest study, researchers analyzed lithium levels from about half of the country’s water supply. When the investigators compared children with autism to those without this developmental disorder, they found that when lithium levels increased, so did the risk of autism.
Kids born to moms who lived in areas with the highest lithium levels in the water were 46% more likely to be diagnosed with autism than those born in areas with the lowest amount of lithium in drinking water, the study showed. Lithium levels increased the risk for all types of autism in this study.
Lithium leaches into drinking water from soil and rocks, but these levels could rise in the future from waste in lithium batteries. While more research is needed to confirm this association, Ritz suggested using filtered water and testing it for lithium levels while pregnant. Bottled water isn’t necessarily the answer. “A lot of bottled water is not tested either,” she said. “Some bottled water is just filled up from regular drinking water sources.”
Dr. Max Wiznitzer, director of the Rainbow Autism Center, urged caution before jumping to conclusions, though. “It’s an interesting association, but causation is definitely not proven,” Wiznitzer told CNN. “We have to see if there’s a workable and biologically plausible (似乎合理的) mechanism by which a small amount of lithium in the water supply can somehow do this, yet pharmacologic (药理学) dosing of lithium in women with bipolar disorder has not been reported to be causing increased risk of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder).”
32．What might cause women in Denmark to have kids with autism?
A．Lower levels of lithium in tap water. B．Higher lithium levels in drinking water.
C．Maternal prenatal exposure to neurotoxicity. D．Naturally occurring drinking water sources.
33．What can we infer from Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 5?
A．The risk of autism declined with lithium levels increasing.
B．Lithium in drinking water mainly came from lithium batteries.
C．Kids were 46% more likely to be diagnosed with autism than moms.
D．Bottled water could not be always safely used for its lack of filtering and testing.
34．What is Max Wiznitzer’s attitude towards the findings?
A．Favourable. B．Shocked. C．Cautious. D．Indifferent.
35．Which can be the best title for the text?
A．Lithium in Water Supply Linked to Uptick in Autism Risk
B．Lithium in Drinking Water Did Harm to Mental Health
C．Lithium in Drinking Water Decreased the Risk of ASD
D．Lithium in Water Supply Linked to the Chance of Pregnancy

A Sailor’s Christmas Gift
Last year at Christmas time my wife, three boys and I were in France on our way from Paris to Nice. For five miserable days everything had gone wrong. Our hotels were tourist traps; our rented car broke down; we were all restless and annoyed in the crowded car. On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dark and dirty hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas spirit in our hearts. It was raining and cold when we went out to eat.
We found a drab (饭馆) little shoddily decorated for the holidays. It smelled oily. Only five tables in the restaurant were occupied. There were two families and an American sailor, by himself. In the corner, a piano player listlessly played Christmas music. I was too stubborn and too tired and miserable to leave. I looked around and noticed that the other customers were eating in stony silence. The only person who seemed happy was the American sailor. While eating he was writing a letter, and a half-smile lighted his face. My wife ordered our meal in French. The waiter brought us the wrong thing, and I scolded my wife for being stupid. She began to cry. The boys defended her, and I felt even worse. All of us here were overwhelmed by an unpleasant blast of cold air.
Through the front door came an old French flower woman, who wore a shabby dripping overcoat and moved along slowly. “Flowers, monsieur? Only one franc.” No one bought any. Wearily she sat down at a table between the sailor and us. To the waiter she said, “A bowl of soup. I haven’t sold a flower all afternoon.” To the piano player she said hoarsely, “Can you imagine, Joseph, soup on Christmas Eve?” He pointed to his empty tip plate. The young sailor finished his meal and got up to leave.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He walked over to the flower woman’s table, picking out two flowers.

My wife waved her flower in time with the music.

Then on Tuesday we organize a cycle trip, which will give you all the fun of biking without the effort. We will take you and your bike up to the top of Mount Lama, and leave you to bike back to the camp. On Wednesday you’ll be taken to a factory where jewelry is made. If you want, you can buy some of the souvenirs but that’s entirely up to you. The trip starts after lunch, and you’ll return by 6 p.m. On Thursday we can offer trips to the observatory for those who are interested in astronomy. And you’ll be shown the huge telescopes and an expert will explain how they work.
21．A 22．C 23．B

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了2022年的网络流行语。
21．细节理解题。根据Begone部分的“The odd repetition of the Chinese term tui reminded many people of a traditional ceremony to ward off evil spirits, and the woman’s words quickly became an incantation (咒语) to protect users from bad luck or misfortune.(中文“退”这个词的奇怪重复让很多人想起了一种传统的辟邪仪式，这名女子的话很快就成为了一种咒语，可以保护使用者免受厄运或不幸。)”可知，中文“退”这个词会让人想到一个古老的仪式，以防止邪恶的灵魂。故选A。
22．细节理解题。根据I have nothing to say部分的“Literally meaning “thank you so much”, the term is now ironically used by Chinese social media users to express “being speechless”.(这个词的字面意思是“非常感谢”，现在被中国社交媒体用户讽刺地用来表示“无语”。)”可知，“I have nothing to say”这个词的目的是传达“无语”，故选C。
23．推理判断题。根据Online mouth double部分的“So when they find someone who has spoken out on an issue they care about in a more persuasive way online—such as on a talk show, in a media interview, or in an online comment—they call them their hu lian wang zui ti, or “online mouth double”, as a way to express agreement and appreciation.(因此，当他们发现有人在网上以一种更有说服力的方式就他们关心的问题发表意见时，比如在脱口秀、媒体采访或网上评论中，他们就称他们为“网络口舌达人”，作为表达赞同和感激的一种方式。)”可知，最好地描述史密斯在互联网上发表的关于ChatGPT的观点受到欢迎的是Online mouth double，故选B。
24．B 25．B 26．C 27．A

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲南非Hamburg小镇因科萨文化而闻名，当地的女士们通过制作一些工艺品度过生活难关。

67．One possible version:
He walked over to the flower woman’s table, picking out two flowers. Pressing one of the small flowers flat, he put it into the letter he had written, then handed the woman a 20-franc note. She said, “I’ll get some change from the waiter.” “No.” said the sailor, “This is my Christmas present to you.” Straightening up, he came to our table, holding the other flower in front of him, and gave my wife the flower, wishing us a Merry Christmas. The piano player began to beat the keys with magic hands, nodding his head in rhythm.
My wife waved her flower in time with the music. The tears had left her eyes and the corners of her mouth turned up in laughter. All the people in the restaurant jumped on their chairs and began singing. The waiter embraced the flower woman. People crowded in from the street until many customers were standing. The miserable evening in a shoddy restaurant ended up being the very best Christmas Eve we had ever experienced just because of a young sailor who had Christmas spirit in his soul. He gave us Christmas.
