Dear Sophie,
I’m more than glad to hear that you have successfully made it to the final round of the Chinese Poetry Recitation Contest. I’m writing to convey my sincere congratulations.
When it comes to recitation techniques, you’re supposed to pay attention to using proper pronunciation, stress, intonation and speed. In addition, the more times you practice in advance, the better, because practice makes perfect. Last but not least, make sure you have a thorough understanding of the poem, since only in this way can you appreciate its beauty.
I hope that my advice can be of some help to you and wish you good luck.
读后续写
I was completely knocked out by the news. Without Emma’s voice to guide me, I would definitely mess up and this was not how everything was supposed to go! As I stood there, feeling at a loss, a gentle touch on my shoulder brought me back to reality. It was my mom, wearing a comforting smile. After having a brief idea of my story, she said in a firm tone,"You’ve worked so hard. You can make it on your own."Memories of countless rehearsal came flooding back, drowning my fears and losses. Swinging into action, I adjusted my performance to a solo, practicing in no time.
Finally came the big moment. Taking a deep breath, I stepped onto the stage, enveloped in the glow of the lights. At first, my voice trembled with nervousness, but as the song progressed, my confidence soared. I poured my emotions into the performance, letting my voice carry my feelings into the air. The crowd watched in awe, their applause and cheers echoing in the hall. Facing the overwhelming response, I knew that I had conquered my fears. Yes, the unexpected discouragement can be a blessing in disguise if we have a belief in ourselves and never give up our dreams.

（Text 4）
M: You can have my seat. I’m getting off at the next stop.
W: That's nice of you. There are never enough seats here.

W: I suppose. I usually drive, but I had car trouble today.
（Text 5）
W: I’m wondering if we can save money on our electricity bills.
M: Has it gone up
W: Yes, it has. I think we can save electricity in a few different ways. I found this helpful guide online. We can have a try.
（Text 6）
W: I reserved a room for three nights, but it turns out I’m going to have to stay four.
M: That shouldn’t be a problem. Here’s your key - Room 107. Do you have any luggage

W: You’ve been creating beautiful artwork, and Sarah’s looking for something creative to do. She’s stressed and needs something to help her relax.
M: Oh. I could recommend once-a-week beginners’ class to develop her skills. The instructor, Ms. Thompson, is really patient and understanding. Her sister-in-law, Ms. Johnson, teaches sculpture in the same building. Their classes are very sociable.
W: That sounds perfect.
（Text 9）
W: OK, so our topic for the presentation is bees. How many main points do we have
M: Three.
W: There’s a lot of information, but we only have eight minutes.
M: I think we can organize the whole presentation around our three main points.
W: Should we start by showing that bees are an important natural resource They help plants reproduce. Without bees, a lot of crops would be more expensive to grow.
M: Let's make that clear so people understand why we all need bees.
W: Now, I found a report that says a lot of bees are dying right now. The report has a lot of statistics about population numbers. Should we use that
M: Well, I’m worried those statistics might be confusing. Mr. Lee said we have to show that we’ve done some research, and that’s important for our grades.
W: OK. Maybe we could just put some of the statistics in a diagram.
M: Let's do that. And we could show some photos of bees.
W: Good idea.
M: So for the last part, I made a list of what people can do to help bees.

I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda(日程), and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct（不同的） from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my academic fields for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries, as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.
24. What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety
A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He conducted an experiment.
C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He escaped into a fantasy world.
25. What does the author mean by the underlined part in paragraph 2
A. Reading novels was a waste of time. B. Reading a good book was time well spent.
C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
26. How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author
A. More sympathy went out to him. B. His moral values were strengthened.
C. He learned much about religious diversity.
D. He gained new insight into his academic fields.
27. What’s the best title of the text
A. Reading: A Lifelong Hobby B. The Power of Research Papers
C. Novels: Love at Second Sight D. The Benefits of History Reading
C
Young children are significantly more likely than adults to have their opinions influenced by robots, according to a new research. The study, conducted at the University of Plymouth, compared how adults and children respond to an identical task when in the presence of both their peers and robots.
It showed that while adults regularly have their opinions influenced by peers, something also demonstrated in previous studies, they are largely able to resist being persuaded by robots. However, children aged between seven and nine were more likely to give the same responses as the robots, even if they were obviously incorrect.
The study asks people to look at a screen showing four lines and say which two match in length. When alone, people almost never make a mistake but when doing the experiment with others, they tend to follow what others are saying.
When children were alone in the room in this research, they scored 87% on the test, but when the robots join in their score drops to 75%. And of the wrong answers, 74% matched those of the robot.
Professor Belpaeme said, “People often follow the opinions of others and we’ve known for a long time that it is hard to resist taking over views and opinions of people around us. But as robots will soon be found in the home and the workplace, we were wondering if people would follow robots.”
“What our results show is that adults do not follow what the robots are saying. But when we did the experiment with children, they did. It shows children can perhaps have more of an affinity (亲和力) with robots than adults, which does pose the question: What if robots were to suggest, for example, what products to buy or what to think ”
28. What did the adults do when staying with robots
A. They totally accepted the robots’ suggestions.
B. They tried to persuade robots to resist them.
C. They generally refused the robots’ effects.
D. They usually compared robots with their children.
29．Why did some children make more mistakes in the experiment
A. Because robots in the presence made mistakes.
B. Because children were not as clever as the adults.
C. Because robots reflected better than human beings.
D. Because children wanted to affect the robots on purpose.
30. What is Professor Belpaeme’s attitude towards the result of the experiment
A. He is optimistic about the result. B. He doubts the result of the research.
C. He doesn’t care about the result. D. He is worried about the future.
31. What should be followed after the last paragraph
A. What is the meaning of the research B. What will be done to solve the problem
C. What should adults do to avoid the problem
D. Why are children more likely to be influenced
D
Worth nearly $1trillion, Facebook is the world’s sixth-most-valuable company. Its revenues (收入) have grown by 56% in the past year, and its share price by more than a quarter. Nearly 3billion people use its products every month. Why did such a successful company change its name as Meta
The likely official reason for the rebranding is that the firm has outgrown the social network that Mark Zuckerberg started 17 years ago in a Harvard dorm. Today it includes other social apps (Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger) and video hardware (Oculus, Portal). It has launched a digital wallet (Novi) and may yet offer a currency (Diem). Mr Zuckerberg expects people eventually to associate his firm more with the “metaverse”(元宇宙), a virtual space for work, play and more, than with social media.
Facebook wouldn’t be the first tech giant to do so. In 2015 Google set up Alphabet, a holding company for the search engine and its many side projects. Under this model, Facebook would become just another app within a wider family, though by far it has been the biggest earner.
There is another possible motive for a makeover. For all its financial success, the Facebook brand has become tarnished. The social network is blamed for fueling everything from teenage anorexia(厌食症) to uprising at the US Capitol. Public trust in it is lower than in most tech giants, and falling. Although two years ago the firm started branding its apps as being “from Facebook”, its new smart glasses, which can record video and take phone calls, feature only the logo of its partner, Ray-Ban. A former employee revealed that Facebook was trying to cover up a drop in young American users.
Mr Zuckerberg himself has been a reason for much of the criticism of Facebook, and of bossy tech firms more generally. As the all-powerful founder, he has a higher profile than his opposite numbers at TikTok, YouTube and other social networks. Normally, a brand facing a reputational crisis might dump its unpopular CEO. But Mr Zuckerberg’s position is immovable, which may explain why he would want to dump the brand instead.
32. Facebook changed its name because________.
A. it wanted people to associate its name with universe
B. it was trying to follow the fashion led by Google
C. it expected to expand its business to a wider range
D. its former name has brought bad reputation to the company
33．What can we know about Facebook
A. It was founded by Zuckerberg in Harvard’s dormitory.
B. It has a positive influence on teenagers’ mind and actions.
C. It is as popular among young people in the US as it was.
D. It produced smart glasses with two companies’ logos on it.
34. What does the underlined word “tarnished” mean in the passage
A. distinguished B. abandoned C. globalized D. spoiled
35．This passage probably appears in________.
A. a science review B. a business magazine
C. a technical report D. the website of Facebook

My grandparents were always busy with food. My grandmother could pull out the feathers of a chicken in less than half an hour. They picked vegetables from their garden. Animal fat was saved. 36 Nearly a decade after my grandmother died, I found myself in a kitchen, pulling out the feathers of a chicken.
It took hours and made my fingers hurt. After an adult life spent buying rather than growing food, as a so-called new farmer, I finally began to understand my grandparents. 37
My grandparents’ generation spent a third of their income on food. 38 Food is no longer seen as public goods, but as public given resources. The ecological cost of this progress is now clear. The health costs are starting to be noticed.
But until I began talking to the farmers around me, I had not understood the human costs faced by those asked to produce milk sold for less than bottled water. 39 Called “ regenerative farming”, it was being driven by a new generation of farmers trying to find a new kind of power in the face of loss of climate change and rising fuel and transport costs.
40 Those plants and animals worked together to help the soil become rich again. They kept living roots in the ground all year round, building up the soil’s biology and taking in carbon.
Research has found that regenerative farming not only benefits the land, but profits can be 78% higher than conventional farms.
A．We spend less than a tenth.
B．And any leftover meat was cut up for pies.
C．Regenerative farming is welcomed by thousands of farmers now.
D．I began to understand the work that we took for granted.
E．I realized that keeping a big family was really a big burden for them.
F．New technology helped these farmers raise a diversity of crops and farm animals.
G．Then I came across a farming reform that sought to change this traditional system.

When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business-a small grocery store downstairs my house. As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don't have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn't shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show ” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can't help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn't believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world's prettiest voice, I felt like being favored by fortune.
“You two The talent show for the food bank ” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up.“ A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practice right now upstairs I bet you'll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.
