Our editors and explorers pick some most exciting destinations for the year ahead. Grab your bags and go! Mostar, Bosnia Partially destroyed during the Bosnian War (1992-1995) , history-rich Mostar still bears scars of the past. Wander around and you'll pass newly renovated apartments next to buildings riddled with bullet holes. Local and intemational artists regularly decorate the abandoned structures with colorful murals. Mostar's most tangible image of peace is the 16th-century Stari Most, rebuilt in 2004. It connects the city's predominantly Christian Croat west side with the mainly Muslim Bosniak east. Tohoku, Japan Less than three hours by train from Tokyo, home of the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, Tohoku features pristine forests, gorges and crater lakes, thousand-year-old temples and shrines, and venerable local festivals— yet less than 2 percent of international travelers come here. For skiers, Tohoku regularly records some of the planet's heaviest snowfalls, and resorts such as Appi Kogen are exhilaratingly uncrowded. National Blue Trail, Hungary Hungary is a dream hiking destination thanks to the country's National Blue Trail. It's part of the nearly 6, 500-mile European long-distance walking route E4, which begins in Spain and ends in Cyprus. So, while you could use the Blue Trail as a launchpad for an epic, cross-Europe trek, Hungary's historic route is best experienced as a singular destination. Zakouma National Park, Chad Home to a rapidly growing African elephant population— some 559 in 2019 and a thousand expected by 2024-Zakouma National Park is an under-the-radar African safari destination. The park's location, in southeastern Chad, one of the world's least visited countries, makes Zakouma a best-kept secret— one worth sharing to help ensure its continued success. 21. Which destination fits you best if you are fond of hiking? A. Mostar. B. National Blue Trail. C. Tohoku. D. Zakouma National Park. 22. What do Tohoku and Zakouma National Park have in common? A. They are both far from the city's capital. B. They are very famous for local festivals. C. They are less popular and attract fewer tourists. D. They are the best choices for sports enthusiasts. 23. In which section of a newspaper can the text be found? A. Environment. B. Travel. C. Culture. D. Business. BFrench writer Annie Eraux won the 2022 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6. She is the first French female to win the prize. In the words of the Nobel Committee, Emaux was given the award "for the courage and amazing insight"of her writing. Having spent over five decades as a writer, the 82-year-old winner has published more than 20 books to her name, including Cleaned Out (1974) , Shame (1997) and A Girl's Story (2016) . Rather than consider herself a writer of fiction, Eraux has used the term “an ethnologist (民族学家)of herself” to describe herself. Born in 1940 in a rural village in Normandy, France, Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment as her parents ran a combined grocery store and cafe. She worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. Her upbringing features heavily in her novels, as well as her experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood. For example, the book Shame explores the theme of childhood trauma (创伤) while A Girl's Story follows a young woman's coming of age in the 1950s. Though the matters Ernaux describes in her books are serious and even sometimes heavy, they are always written in a plain language. Emaux described her style as “flat writing” through which she aims to tell her stones objectivelv. “Unshaped by florid (过多修饰的) description or overwhelming emotions, noted Fox News.”“She writes about things that no one else writes about, for instance her jealousy, her experiencesas an abandoned lover and so forth. I mean, really hard experiences,” Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said after the award announcement in Stockholm. He added, “She gives words for these experiences that are very simple and striking. They are short books, but they are really moving.”24. What can we learn about Annie Ernaux from the text? A. She is a full-time writer all her life. B. She is the first French person to win the Nobel Prize. C. The Nobel Committee described her as “an ethnologist of herself”. D. She was awarded for the bravery and observations shown in her writing. 25. Where did Emaux get inspiration for her works? A. Her students'lives. B. Her personal experiences. C. The history of her hometown. D. The stories of guests in her cafe. 26. Which of the following best describes Emaux's writing style? A. Plain and relaxing. B. Descriptive and serious. C. Emotional and touching. D. Objective and easy to understand. 27. Why is Annie Ernaux different from other writers according to Anders Olsson? A. She suffered a lot of hardships. B. Her works are short and moving. C. Her works are about unexplored subjects. D. She shares painful feelings through her writing. CA new study released in the joumal Plant and Cell Physiology suggests that ethanol (乙醇) — or alcohol-can help plants survive in times of drought, even for as long as two weeks without water. To come up with their finding, the researchers grew wheat and rice plants, regularly watering them, and then added ethanol to the soil in one group of plants over three days. They then kept both groups deprived of (中断) water for two weeks and found that drunk plants grew better than untreated ones. Around 75% of the drunk wheat and rice plants survived after rewatering, while less than 5% of the untreated plants did. The study also looked at how ethanol protected a plant. Using arabidopsis, a small plant commonly used in experiments, the researchers discovered that when ethanol-treated specimens (样品) were deprived of water, tiny openings on the leaves' surface closed up to preserve water and heat. The team studied arabidopsis' gene expression and found that the ethanol-treated plants started behaving if they were experiencing drought, even before they were actually deprived of water. This gene expression gave the plants an advantage in preparing for a drought. The researchers said, “The finding is not just useful for the world's gardens, but also for farms growing vital crops like rice and wheat. Drought-resistant crops could help achieve sustainable food security, which is an issue affecting many parts of the world right now.” They added that ethanol was a useful and simple way to increase food production all over the world in times of drought. “The application of ethanol to plants would be a potent agricultural method to enhance drought resistance in different plants,” said Motoaki Seki, the study's lead author. But, he wamed that the ethanol needed to be used reasonably as higher concentration of ethanol prevented plants growing. Seki added, “We will soon begin testing ethanol on plants in real fields.”28. What did the researchers find in their study? A. Plants produce ethanol in times of drought. B. Drunk plants could live longer without water. C. There is no need to water house plants every day. D. It requires more water to grow wheat in the field. 29. Why do the researchers do the study? A. To cut the cost of food production. B. To bring about the change of diet. C. To generate increases in food price. D. To help maintain global food security30. What does the underlined word “potent” in the last paragraph mean? A. Effective. B. Basic. C. Fictional. D. Necessary. 31. What does Seki want to stress about ethanol in the text? A. It would fit all kinds of plants. B. It has been applied to real fields. C. It should be used in proper amount. D. It enables wheat plants to grow fast. DAs students return to school this fall, many of them— perhaps especially those from historically disadvantaged student groups will be starting the academic year with achievement levels lower than where they were at the beginning of summer break. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as summer learning loss. We review what is known about summer loss and offer suggestions for schools looking to solve the problem. The recent studies on summer loss have been rather comprehensive. One study found that students, on average, lost between 25-30 percent of their school-year learning over the summer; additionally, black and Latino students tended to gain less over the school year and lose more over the summer compared to white students. However, an analysis of the national study found little evidence of overall loss over the summers after grades K and 1, and the summer loss gaps widened in some subjects and grades but not others. Von Hippel and Hamrock re-analyzed two earlier data sets and concluded that gaps “do not necessarily. . . grow fastest over the summer”. Thus, it seems summer loss occurs, though not universally across geography, grade level or subject. Schools want to address the issue of summer learning loss not only because it may widen achievement gaps, but also because it “wastes” so much of the knowledge students have gained during the school year. Summer loss also undoubtedly increases the amount of time teachers have to spend “re-teaching” last year's content. Traditionally, educators and policy makers have relied on conventional summer school programs to solve summer learning loss. Not surprisingly, research suggests that programs are more effective when students attend consistently and spend more time on task academically. Regardless of the design, these policies should offer engaging options for students over the summer so that summer learning programs do not feel like punishment for students who would rather be enjoying summer vacation. Doing so would set more students up for success as the school year gets underway. 32. What's the author's aim by writing Paragraph 1? A. To raise a question. B. To make a comparison. C. To analyze the figures. D. To illustrate an example. 33. According to the studies, what can we know about summer learning loss? A. Immigrant students experienced the most summer loss. B. White students did not lose learning over the summer. C. Summer learning loss after grades K and 1 was alarming. D. Summer learning loss seemed to vary in grades and subjects. 34. Why do schools want to solve the problem according to the fourth paragraph? A. It may narrow achievement gaps. B. It may cause repetitive work for teachers. C. It may stop students gaining more knowledge. D. It may increase teachers' new teaching content. 35. What does the author think of summer school programs? A. The conventional programs are ineffective. B. Students should do all academic tasks. C. More choices should be provided for students. D. The programs are punishment for many student. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Feeling upset is a normal part of life. Something stressful may occur everywhere, and make you angry or anxious. 36 However, we can decide how we behave and react to the troubles we face. Here are some useful ways to keep our cool when we feel frustrated. Remove yourself from the situation. Conflicts with others can be difficult to deal with. 37 It is OK to say, “'m going to take a break” and go for a walk or find a quiet place to sit and cool off. The goal is to give yourself some space to calm down and consider what to do next. 38 When we're upset, our nervous system will speed up our heart rate and muscles tense. It prepares the body as if to meet an attack. You can soften such physical reaction by using practical techniques. If possible, find a safe place, sit comfortably and focus on your breath, breathing deeply and evenly. Mindful breathing helps us calm our feelings. Lift your mood with laughter. Laughter relieves the tension we feel when depressed. We can think of a joke or watch a video that always makes us roar with laughter. Afterwards, you may be able to lift the fog of frustration. Make sure what you use is not mean-spirited, though. 39 Change your language. Once things appear disappointing, many of us might punish ourselves with unkind words. In fact, it doesn't have to be this way. 40 For example, instead of saying “I always mess things up”, we could say, “I made a mistake, but I'll do it better next time.”A. Do breathing exercises to relax. B. Keep yourself away from the noise. C. We can't control what is happening around us. D. We should turn negative thoughts into positive statements. E. Sometimes we need to leave from the unpleasant condition. F. This kind of humor can actually make us feel more down. G. Thus, we can be physically and mentally entertained from that. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。At age eleven, I was in middle school. But before Christmas every chance I got, when I was 41 , I checked each present under the tree quietly. I read every tag and 42 every package, telling which present went to which person without even looking at the tags. It had been a (n) 43 year for my family. When my mom looked at the simple presents, she sighed and warned us, “There won't be as much for Christmas this year.

Getting presents was the whole 45 !On that Christmas morning, we 46 waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly.

Though it's simple, to me it was so much more. Being a little girl, I was amazed. In my world, where receiving 52 giving, my mom's act of selflessness was incomprehensible. Tears filled my eyes and I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to 53 her Christmas. I have always remembered that Christmas full of deep 54 . It had such an impact on me. As an adult, I can now 55 my mom's actions-finding an even greater joy in her Christmas, because giving truly is better than receiving. My mom's simple act meant the world to me. 41.

It is known by different names and has different styles in 56 (vary) places. There are two main types of Yangge: “Gaoqiao Yangge (stilt yangge)”, 57 is performed on stilts (高跷) , while “Ground Yangge”, performed 58 stilts. Yangge has a long history. It was recorded as “Cuntianle” in the Southern Song Dynasty. Today, Yangge is mainly performed by Yangge troupes, each 59 (contain) dozens or even over 100 members, in the form of group dances, duo dances or trio dances, etc. And if they 60 (require) because of the roles, performers may dance with the 61 (assist) of instruments like gongs, drums and suona, holding handkerchiefs, umbrellas, bars, drums or copper cash whips. Yangge in different places differs in terms of its steps, movements and styles. No matter mighty or gentle, 62 styles or movements are all fantastic and entertaining. As one of 63 (popular) folk dances in North China, Yangge is either practiced as part of a performance or individually and is highly popular among the people. Today, as the cultural environment 64 (change) with the rapid development of the rural economy, few folk artists who can master the traditional techniques and authentic styles of Yangge exist. Therefore, conservation and inheritance efforts are 65 (extreme) needed for Yangge. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节 应用文写作（满分15分）假如你是李华，你的朋友Sam很喜欢短视频，发邮件向你询问如何制作一个好的短视频。就此请你给他回一封电子邮件，主要内容如下：1. 你的看法2. 提出建议；3. 表达期望。注意：1. 词数80左右，邮件的开头和结尾已给出；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。Dear Sam, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yours, Li Hua第二节 读后续写（满分25分）阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的故事。At 63, Jerry Valencia was determined to get his college degree— and his master's degree, too. The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I'd say that he had about 40 years on his classmates in my undergraduate communications class at California State University, Los Angeles. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his modest humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students' views, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile— and he left with one, too. Valencia always said that these students gave him the confidence and joy that he didn't need to feel bad about his age. One day, I found Valencia sitting on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money from construction jobs he used to take to pay for his tuition. But he said he would still come to campus to attend events, see his friends and take the final exams. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in my communications class. “Sure,” I said. Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, front and center, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles-a 63-year-old junior with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in my class. For an assignment on changing neighborhoods, Valencia wrote about a favorite local chain restaurant that was “unceremoniously (随便地) closed”. He called it as a theft of childhood. “It is almost as if someone has stolen that childhood and replaced it with a slippery hill where everything they cherish will slide away,” he wrote. A lot of Valencia's classmates apparently knew he couldn't pay that semester's tuition. However, he was still making his efforts to do the homework well. 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。In my eyes, Valencia is an old man with strong will. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
