Beijing has four distinct seasons. Spring is time for the capital city to dress in blossoms. It might be common to enjoy the fragrance of flowers elsewhere, but in Beijing, they can be appreciated alongside the ancient buildings nestled among them. Here is a quick guide of the best routed of themed spring tours for visitors.
Yulan magnolias
Its flowering phase is very short, as if showing a never-say-die courage and pride. Many love the plant for the flowers that blossom before leafing. The best time to see it is usually from the last week of March to mid-April,
Yulan magnolias usually appear first along Chang' an Avenue, and locals consider it a sign of the real approaching of spring. The blossoms look best on the western side of the avenue. Visitors should also look out for the spread of purple magnolias in the north western corner of the street, near the National Center for the Performing Arts.
The Summer Palace has a long history of planting Yulan magnolias. Every time they blossom, the Longevity Hall is filled with fragrance.
Winter jasmine
These golden-yellow flowers can be widely seen in Beijing in March. Their beauty is amplified by the red walls and green titles of historical buildings.
At the northern gate of Beihai Park, winter jasmine provided a picturesque scene against the back drop of water, hills and pedestrian activity and has been a lasting favorite of photographers. The blossoms are brought out by the nearby lake stones of various shapes and sizes.
In Zhongshan park, winter jasmine breathes life into the solemn(庄严的) atmosphere of the royal sits, where sacrificial ceremonies were once held during the Ming and ding dynasties.
21.Where can visitors appreciate Yulan magnolias the earliest
A. In Beihai Park. B. In Zhongshan Park.
C. On Chang' an avenue. D. In National Center.
22. Why is winter jasmine particularly beautiful in Beijing
A. Because of its fragrance. B. Its flowering phase is comparatively long.
C. It has been a lasting favorite of photographers.
D. Red walls and green titles of ancient buildings alongside add to its beauty.
23. What's the purpose of writing this passage
A. To attract more visitors.

I woke to the sound of birds outside my window and lay in bed, going over the busy day ahead of me. Finally, I got up and attempted to switch on the light — nothing happened. I checked my phone. No Wi-Fi, no data. With our unstable cell service, there was no way of knowing if we had received alerts for a power failure. I grabbed a sweater, went downstairs, found a flashlight and a match to light the gas stove, and then boiled water to brew coffee. Outside the window, the falling snow obscured (遮蔽) the sunrise. Deep piles of snow covered the road.
My work meetings and deadlines, my sons’ classes and tests, my husband’s plans — everything would have to wait. Why does this happen today of all days “ I asked. Thankfully, the wood stove was still going strong. I took a deep breath. I supposed we had everything we needed.
The house was quiet as I sipped my coffee and cuddled (搂抱) our dog. One by one, my husband and sons came downstairs and complained about the turn the day had taken.
I opened the curtains to let light in. We gathered around the table and had cereal. After breakfast, my husband played a game of solitaire. Then my sons joined him in building a house of cards that reached three levels until our cat jumped up to investigate and knocked it down. We played a round of Scrabble and had my favorite snow day lunch: grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Then we took a long walk in the woods behind our house, walking along the stream. We spotted deer tracks and played in the snow that was coming down in big fluffy flakes. When we returned, all the clocks in the house were blinking. I started to make dinner, happy to have things back to normal — even better than normal.
It was a day that began without electricity, cut off from the rest of the world, and ended with hot chocolate and power restored. We were recharged by the unexpected gift of a day together.
24. What did the author find when she woke up
A. Heavy snow trapped the family in the house. B. The electricity supply had been cut off.
C. It was still early for breakfast. D. Her phone wouldn’t be turned on.
25. What was the direct impact of the power cut on the author’s family
A. Their arrangements were upset.
B. They had to serve themselves with simple meals.
C. The family encountered a shortage of supplies.
D. Everyone was angry about this unexpected event.
26. Why did the author describe their family activities on that day
A. To pave the way for her insight. B. To present the daily life of the family.
C. To show the close family relationship. D. To create a lighthearted atmosphere.
27. What did that day mean to the author
A. It was a temporary disaster. B. It was a day full of exciting adventures.
C. It was a lovely day of family togetherness. D. It was a rare moment of leisure and freedom.
C
For centuries, fishers in Narrangansett have fished in the waters of the northwestern Atlantic for herrings (鲱鱼). But as climate change warms the world’s seas, the herrings are disappearing at the southern end of their range and turning up more often at its northern edges. A study shows that concentrations of marine (海洋的) species populations have been shifting away from the equator (赤道) and toward the poles during the course of the past century. These movements could wreak havoc on food webs and endanger the livelihoods (生计) of fishers.
The tropical (热带的) water at the equator is well-known for having the richest diversity of marine life on Earth. The number of marine species naturally decreases gradually as you head towards the poles. Ecologists have assumed this global pattern has remained stable over recent centuries until now. Our recent study found the ocean around the equator has already become too hot for many species to survive, and that global warming is responsible. And as species flee to cooler water towards the poles, it’s likely to have deep impacts on marine ecosystems.
Losing species in tropical ecosystems means ecological adaptation to environmental changes is reduced, potentially damage ecosystem persistence. In subtropical ecosystems, species richness is increasing. This means there’ll be species invaders, and new competitive relationships. This could result in ecosystem collapse in which species go extinct and ecosystem services (such as food supplies) are permanently changed.
One way is to reduce our emissions aggressively. Other opportunities could also help safeguard biodiversity and hopefully minimize the worst impacts of it shifting away from the equator. Designing climate-smart reserves could further protect biodiversity from future changes. For example, reserves for marine life could be placed where the climate will be stable over the foreseeable future. We should take action without delay.
28. What does the underlined phrase “wreak havoc on” probably mean in Paragraph 1
A. Clarify B. Classify. C. Destroy. D. Purify.
29. What can be learnt from the second paragraph
A. Some species move to water in lower temperature.
B. More marine species exist at the poles than the equator.
C. The subtropical water has the most diverse marine species.
D. The global pattern of the ecosystem remains unchanged now.
30. What is the main idea of the third paragraph
A. The increase of species in subtropical ecosystem.
B. The decline of ecological changes in the ocean.
C. The temporary changes in ecosystem services.
D. The effects of species’ immigration on marine ecosystem.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article
A. To inform readers of the reduction of marine species.
B. To appeal to readers to protect marine biodiversity.
C. To predict the future of the marine ecosystem.
D. To explain the reasons for global warming.
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) might be able to spot the next virus to jump from animals to humans, Scottish researchers report.
Identifying diseases before they become a threat to humans is challenging, because only a few of the nearly 2 million animal viruses can infect humans. By developing machine learning models, researchers can analyze genetic patterns of viruses that might infect people. “Our findings show that the zoonotic (动物传染人的) potential of viruses can be inferred to a surprisingly large extent from their genome sequence (基因组序列).” the researchers at the University of Glasgow reported. “By highlighting viruses with the greatest potential to become zoonotic, genome-based ranking allows further ecological and virological characterization to be targeted more effectively.”
The researchers said the models are only a first step in identifying animal viruses with the potential to infect humans, however. Viruses flagged by the models will need laboratory test confirmation before researchers pursue funding for further study. Although these models may predict if viruses might infect humans, that’s only one part of the broader risk. Zoonotic risk is also influenced by how destructive a virus is in humans, as well as its ability to transmit between people, and ecological conditions at the time of human exposure.
The findings were published online in the journal PLoS Biology. Co-author Simon Babayan said these findings add important information to that collected from genetic sequencing of viruses using AI techniques. “The more viruses are characterized, the more effective our machine learning models will become at identifying the rare viruses that ought to be closely monitored and prioritized for vaccine development.” Babayan added.
32. What is the significance of genome-based ranking
A. To identify viruses which have threatened humans.
B. To discover human viruses that can infect animals.
C. To highlight viruses with the slightest chances to become zoonotic.
D. To target ecological and virological characterization more effectively.
33. What can be inferred from the third paragraph
A. The fund for further study has been put in place.
B. There is still a long way to go for AI models to function ideally.
C. Viruses flagged by the models have been confirmed by researchers.
D. Viruses’ transmission ability is the most influential factor for zoonotic risk.
34. What is Simon Bybayan’s attitude towards the findings
A. Positive. B. Ambiguous. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
35. What is the best title for this text
A. AI Models Spot Various Viruses in Nature.
B. AI Models Monitor Vaccine Development.
C. AI Models Predict Potential Zoonotic Viruses.
D. AI Models Cure Potential Zoonotic Diseases.

Kindness of Strangers
We rely on a community where helping others is highly appreciated. When we need help, it creates a web that ties us together.
Once upon a time, I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready when my fourteen-year-old daughter, Cassandra, called me from her room. “Mom, can you help me get downstairs ” She had lung disease and depended on oxygen twenty-four hours a day, so it was impossible for her to move up and down the stairs without help. I turned down the stove and ran upstairs to her room. Cassandra let out a sigh and closed her eyes. “Mom, I wish it wasn’t so hard for me to climb the stairs.”
“I know, honey. We’ll try to solve the problem.”
My daughter’s words reminded me of an incident. A month earlier, a company introduced an electric stairlift (座椅电梯) to us. My daughter could use this stairlift to go up and down stairs by herself without anyone helping her. Hearing the perfect product, our whole family was very excited and looking forward to it. The stairlift sounded wonderful because it would greatly improve my daughter’s life. Unluckily, we couldn’t afford it although John, my husband, even took two jobs to support the family.
To meet Cassandra’s wish, I got round to ask the charity organization in our community for help once again. They had lent us a wheelchair before we bought one. Maybe they could help with a stairlift, too. I held my breath while the phone rang. “Do you have a stairlift I could borrow ” I asked them hopefully. However, they hadn’t, but they promised to call us right away if they got one.
注意：1.续写词数150左右;

Hanging up the phone, I told this to my family anxiously.

My Weekend
This weekend witnessed our active participation in the community service.
As scheduled, we gathered at the school gate at 8 a.m. on Sunday morning and then marched to the Hongxing Community, where we were to pick up litter. Upon arrival, we were divided into small groups and each was responsible for a separate area. Wearing all necessary items, including protective gloves and masks, we began to collect the litter visible. Although hot and tired, seeing the neighbourhood neat and clean, we were more than delighted.
The activity was greatly praised by the community and we also learnt how to sort out different types of waste. It was a rewarding day.

Hanging up the phone, I told this to my family anxiously. Hearing what I said, my daughter could not hide her upset. And then she let out a sigh deeply and squeezed a smile. Looking at my daughter, I patted her head and said, ”Things are going to be fine, honey. The community will help us find a stairlift. All we can do is wait. If they don’t find one, we’ll work hard and save up to buy you one. Hearing this my daughter’s eyes filled with hope again, and said gently “Thank you, Mom.”
One early morning, we heard someone knocking at the door. I opened the door and found a couple of community staff standing there, wearing a smile on their face. We greeted each other and the community workers said they had found a stairlift, which was donated by the previous company. Tears glistening in my eyes, I was so grateful to those who gave us a hand when we were in trouble. My daughter was overflowing with happiness after hearing this. At the moment, we realized it’s kindness that makes the world go on, particularly from strangers.

M: What's the problem, Amanda
W: When I finished speaking to Lucy this morning, she said, "See you later." Now I've realized I don't know when and where I'm supposed to meet her, and I don't have her number to ask her.
M: Ah, well, you don't need to worry about that. That was just her friendly way of saying goodbye to you. It's like when British people say, "Are you all right " It's just a greeting. They don't think anything is wrong with you and you don't need to tell them how you are.

M: Oh, that is annoying. How much will it cost to repair
W: The repairman said it would be between $500 and $600. Don't you think that seems a little high

M: I am. And I'm happy to say it's working!
W: Oh, really
M: Yes, I've lost six pounds since I started at the beginning of the year. I weighed 180 pounds when I started in January.
W: That's amazing, and in only four months! Have you been exercising too
M: Yes. I used to take the bus to work, and now I ride a bike instead.
W: Maybe I should try to learn from you!
M: You don't need to lose any weight!
W: I may be slim, but I eat too much junk food. And I drive everywhere, even when it would be easy to walk.

Good afternoon, every one. I’m David Clinton. Thanks for joining us. Present today's edition of Pursuit of Happiness is Jennifer Putnum, a social psychologist from the Harvard University. Professor Putnum focuses on the relationship between pain, happiness and morality. Recently, she released a book on the role of pain in promoting pleasure. The title of the book isThe Other Side of Happiness. In this book, she points that as we seek to flee away from pain or sorrow, we're weakening ourselves and may lose our ability to deal with pain in the future. Painful experiences are actually essential for our development and how we face the unavoidable challenges ahead, and they play a vital role in helping us develop our ability to feel truly happy. Now, let's warmly welcome Professor Putmum to talk about the ideas in the book.

Looking at my daughter, I patted her head and said, ”Things are going to be fine, honey. The community will help us find a stairlift. All we can do is wait. If they don’t find one, we’ll work hard and save up to buy you one. Hearing this my daughter’s eyes filled with hope again, and said gently “Thank you, Mom.”

One early morning, we heard someone knocking at the door. I opened the door and found a couple of community staff standing there, wearing a smile on their face. We greeted each other and the community workers said they had found a stairlift, which was donated by the previous company. Tears glistening in my eyes, I was so grateful to those who gave us a hand when we were in trouble. My daughter was overflowing with happiness after hearing this. At the moment, we realized it’s kindness that makes the world go on, particularly from strangers.
