Dear Marcus,
Hope this email finds you well. Confronted with the difficulties in reading English journals,
I’m writing for your generous assistance.
In a bid to enhance my English skills, I started reading English magazines this semester, but
numerous new expressions prevented me from reading fluently and acquiring complete
comprehension. To address the problem, I have experimented with several methods such as
referring to a dictionary or asking classmates for help, reading the same article multiple times.
However, I have yet to achieve the desired results. Thus, I wonder whether you, as a professional
English teacher, could provide me with some practical strategies.
I would be very indebted if you could reply with effective suggestions. Looking forward to
hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Suddenly, something went wrong: Cristian fell to the ground. His face was pale, his
body was limp, his eyes rolled back, and his breaths were frighteningly slow. Panic spread
through the room as we realized the severity of the situation. We gathered around him,
desperately trying to figure out what to do next. Quickly, someone called 911 and Cristian was
rushed into the hospital. Later I was told Cristian’s condition was serious, but fortunately he
didn’t suffer any permanent damage as a result of timely rescue. The whole night found me
tossing and turning, uneasy about the mess I had caused.
The next day, I was called to the program director’s office. I knew that there was no
point in denying the truth. So I admitted everything. Like a caught criminal, I was overcome

with guilt, drooping my head in shame. Then came the punishment that I lost the chance to join
in the program, which was less severe than what I’d expected. Back home, I realized that I
couldn’t continue down this path of seeking approval at any cost. It was time to prioritize my
values and I vowed not to let peer pressure cloud my judgment and lead me astray again.

to catch up on my other subjects’ work, though. I will be spending all night writing my
history paper tonight. (11)
W: You shouldn’t put so much pressure on yourself. I think that spreading out papers and
projects takes off the anxiety and pressure. That’s why the teachers give us this notice.
M: Like I said, I was just excited about my project. Biology is my favorite subject after all. But
you are right. I need to set up a calendar and assign myself a schedule to work on.

Although the average golfer is a bit older, I started playing the game when I was 12
years old. At that time, I was fortunate to have youth golf camps available at my school. A
group of friends and I practiced at these camps to be able to join our school team and play
against others. (17) Afterwards, I was invited to play in my first amateur tournament. Then, I
taught my dad how to play while we toured the world for amateur tournaments. We played at
famous golf courses like St. Andrew’s in Scotland, which is regarded as the place where the
game was invented. (18) Meanwhile, I played in tournaments like the junior British Open in
England. Still, I had no idea where my athletic career would take me. Upon returning to the US,
my dad became my manager and we invested all of our time into the sport. Then I worked my
way up to play in the most essential tournament in the world — the Master’s Tournament.
(19) And in the US Open tournament, I won a total prize amount of $15 million. I owe all my
successes to two things: my father’s constant effort and having a golf camp available to me
when I was a child. No matter what happens, I will support my father and will provide
groups of children with that same opportunity that benefited me so much. (20)

Some new museums are opening around the world. Here are four of them deserving to be
visited.
Maison Gainsbourg, Paris
The Parisian townhouse where the French singer Serge Gainsbourg lived has been closed
off to the public since his death in 1991. This spring, though, it’ll finally open as a museum
focusing on his life and work. The project has been led by his daughter—the actor and singer
Charlotte—and the main attraction will surely be Serge’s living area, with his piano, art deco bar
and a huge collection of sculptures.
National Museum of Norway, Oslo
This year, the National Museum of Norway will open on Oslo’s waterfront, becoming the
largest museum in the Nordic countries. The museum collection includes 100,000 objects, with
highlights including the Norwegian Baldishol tapestry(挂毯 ) and an array of Golden Age
Flemish landscapes.
Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney
The expansion of the Art Gallery of New South Wales has cost a cool $177 million. That’s a
lot of money. But it is properly amazing. Visitors enter via a vast glass facade(幕墙), which
hangs above a pair of oil tanks from the Second World War period. Torres Strait Islands’ artists’
artworks are given priority in the new gallery spaces.
Museum of Art & Photography, Bengaluru
Opening towards the end of the year, this brand-new gallery in southern India was founded
by businessman Abhishek Poddar. He’s known for his collection of art and photos and more than
18,000 of his own pieces will be on display here. Expect everything from sculptures to paintings.

Matt Stutzman, the American from Iowa, is a world champion archer who was born with no
arms. He is also someone who, since childhood, has been in determined pursuit of what he calls
a “Michael Jordan moment”, the point where one person not only changes their sport but the
perception of it.
Stutzman is known as the “Armless Archer”. When he first entered competition at the turn
of the 2010s, he was the first person to try shooting a bolt (弩箭) at a target without using fingers,
wrist or triceps(三头肌). His technique involves picking up an arrow and loading it with his toes,
using a release mechanism attached to his shoulder to connect his body to his bow, then leaning
back in his seat to re. It was with this technique that, in 2015, Stutzman hit a target from 310
yards, setting a world record for the longest accurate shot taken in archery, whether by someone
with a disability or not.
Stutzman says he learned about the sport watching TV one night and sprang into action
when he Googled “teach an armless man to shoot a bow” and came up with nothing. “I
remember going to an archery store and telling a guy I wanted to buy a bow,” Stutzman says
with a faint smile flashing across his face. “The guy said to me, ‘you need a crossbow, because a
crossbow is like a gun and easier.’ ”
Stutzman bought the bow anyway and was soon entering competitions alongside
non-disabled athletes using a technique he had created himself. Within a year of focusing on his
new passion, Stutzman was at the Paralympic Games in London winning silver in the men’s
individual event. He was the world’s top-ranked para archer for the next four years. After the
interruption of the pandemic, Stutzman won his first individual World Para Archery title in
February last year, scoring a perfect 30 in his final round.
This is Stutzman’s Jordan moment: he has made change happen. But an increase in armless
archers speaks not just to the 40-year-old’s power as a role model, but to the growth of para sport
more broadly. So when it comes to Paris next year, Stutzman is clear as to what he would like to
see happen. “Winning is OK,” he says, “but you know how good it would be to have one, two
and three all armless archers. We’re trying to grow the sport, trying to grow the Paralympics as a
whole.”
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The perception of the archery competition.
B. The accomplishments Stutzman has achieved.
第 4页共 10页
C. The unique method applied by Stutzman as an archer.
D. The interaction with Michael Jordan as a world champion.
25. How does Stutzman feel when he recalls his experience in an archery store
A. Bitter.
B. Amused.
C. Excited.
D. Embarrassed.
26. Which of the following statements may Stutzman agree with
A. He is overjoyed with his being a role model.
B. There is no more happier thing than winning a game.
C. It is the growth of para sport that makes him satisfied.
D. Michael Jordan has made change happen to para sport.
27. Which of the following best describe Stutzman as a world champion archer
A. Optimistic and cautious.
C. Committed and humorous.
B. Ambitious and creative.
D. Warm-hearted and conservative.
C
A form of gene therapy that is already being trialled in patients with Parkinson’s disease
might provide a treatment for severe alcohol addiction.
Alcohol misuse is the biggest risk factor for death, disability and ill health among people
aged 15 to 49 in the UK, responsible for 9,641 deaths during 2021. Like other addictive
substances, alcohol triggers the release of a feelgood chemical in the brain called dopamine.
However, long-term drinking decreases dopamine release, and people who are addicted to
alcohol don’t tend to feel pleasure in drinking it any more. “It seems that they’re drinking more
because they feel a need to maintain a drunk state,” said Prof Kathleen Grant at Oregon Health
and Science University.
The idea of the gene therapy was to try to reset this dopamine reward pathway by
enhancing the function of brain cells that synthesize dopamine. Like humans, some macaque
monkeys are more likely to drink heavily than others: if you begin to offer them the choice of
5% alcohol alongside their regular food and water, some monkeys will eventually almost always
choose the alcohol. Grant and her colleagues wondered whether resetting their dopamine reward
pathways might contain their desire to drink alcohol. To do this, they used a harmless virus to
deliver the gene for a protein called glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to an area of the
brain that is involved in addiction and reward. “We targeted the cell bodies that produce
dopamine with this gene to increase dopamine synthesis, thus supplementing or restoring what
long-term drinking has taken away,” Grant said.
The research, which was published in Nature Medicine, found that the macaques
permanently started overexpressing dopamine and decreased their alcohol consumption by up to
90%. “We are entering an era of gene therapy for neurological disorders and perhaps mental
disorders, and I think this study is very promising in that direction.” Grant said.
She added that animal studies are needed before the technique could be tested on humans.
Also, because the gene therapy procedure involves brain surgery, it would probably only ever be
used in the most severe cases of alcohol addiction.
28. Why do severe alcohol addicts drink more
A. Because they long for desired pleasure.
第 5页共 10页
B. Because they have a form of gene defect.
C. Because they want to escape from reality.
D. Because they suffer from deadly disability.
29. The underlined word “synthesize” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by ______.
A. Stimulate.
B. Produce.
C. Charge.
D. Delay.
30. What did Grant’s study focus on
A. The life habit of macaque monkeys.
B. The way to control alcohol addiction.
C. The working mechanism of dopamine.
D. The function of the protein called GDNF.
31. What did Grant suggest about the gene therapy
A. Employ it to treat severe alcohol addiction only.
B. Replace it with more efficient methods if necessary.
C. Confirm its effectiveness with more tests on humans.
D. Put it into widespread use on other common species.
D
California is speeding up the launch of its robotaxi. Cars without drivers are already
becoming a common sight on San Francisco’s winding and foggy streets with a lot of hills. But
they’ve been limited in their areas and time of operation, and in some cases have had human
safety monitors on board. Last week, California officials voted to remove most restrictions for
the two leading self-driving car companies, Waymo and Cruise, letting them charge for rides
anywhere in the city 24/7. It’s a critical moment for the industry, which has grown to more than
40 companies reaching millions of miles on public roads every year.
If this is the future, it’s still a tough nut in progress. One San Francisco driverless vehicle
rolled into an active fire scene and prevented firefighters from carrying out their work. Others
have stopped dead in the middle of traffic. There were 93 reported traffic incidents involving
robotaxis in March alone. California regulators shouldn’t be giving robotaxis a free pass.
Driverless cars could make a difference to the city streets the way gas-powered automobiles did
a century ago. The objection to driverless cars has been similar, too. In San Francisco, one
activist group has begun coning self-driving taxis—placing a simple orange cone(圆锥体) on the
metal cover of the engine, which seems to “paralyze” an autonomous vehicle.
“I wanted to love robotaxis,” said Elaine Moore in the Financial Times. “Eliminating
human error would undoubtedly make roads safer. But then came the time I hailed a Cruise car.
A few minutes into the journey, the car suddenly changed course, extending the estimated time
to arrival for no reason. Then the car just stopped. We tried to exit but the doors remained locked.
Although it was only for a few seconds, it still made me pause before I hopped in another
robotaxi anytime soon.”
“These horror stories remain the exception,” said Benjamin Schneider in the MIT
Technology Review. “Over the past few years, Cruise and Waymo have added up to over a
million driverless miles without accidents in major American cities.” At certain times in San
Francisco, he estimated that 1 in 10 cars on the road has no driver behind the wheel. He was
第 6页共 10页
amazed that so few people are aware of how quickly this industry is advancing, or have
considered the near-term labor and transportation impacts. Like it or not, robotaxis are here.
32. What does “this” refer to in the second paragraph
A. Restrictions will be cancelled for the self-driving cars.
B. Francisco’ streets will be upgraded by California regulators.
C. Robotaxis will be in full wings in California around the clock.
D. Millions of miles on public roads will be monitored every year.
33. Why has one activist group begun coning self-driving taxis
A. To fight against the San Francisco government.
B. To make the robotaxis unable to function properly.
C. To push for technological progress in driverless cars.
D. To imitate what gas-powered automobiles did a century ago.
34. What is Benjamin Schneider’s attitude towards robotaxis
A. Favorable.
B. Unclear.
C. Skeptical.
D. Opposed.
35. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Robotaxis: a perfect replacement of gas cars
B. Robotaxis: an immediate launch of driverless cars
C. Robotaxis: an advanced technology around the world
D. Robotaxis: a tough issue of transportation in America

第二节（满分 25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In high school, I was a straight-A student, a member of many school clubs, and a receiver of
many rewards. However, I had been subjected to peer pressure. Wanting to be “Cool”, I started
going to parties and drinking, drunk beyond recognition. My life took a turn for the worse.
However, the experience in one summer program taught me a lesson: never do something you
believe is wrong just to gain the approval of others.
In June, I worked part-time at a restaurant. The day before I left for the program, one
co-worker offered me his driver’s license, telling me to have fun in Quebec since we two almost
looked the same. I’d seen friends walk into liquor(酒) stores with fake licenses and come out
carrying a twelve-pack of beer, smiling proudly. So I took the license, but I promised myself that
I wouldn’t use it. However, I easily got carried away.
On the first night of the program, while walking around, my new friends and I came across
a liquor store. Kai asked if anyone had a fake license. After everyone shook his head, I cleared
my throat and declared, “I do.” With everyone’s admiration and Kai’s twenty dollars and
instruction, I boldly agreed to take on the task without thinking. I managed to buy a case of beer.
The boys cheered and gave me pats on the back. “You’re the man,” someone said to me. The
praise boosted my self-confidence.
The last night there was a party. A few of my friends insisted that we drink before the dance.
They asked me, the “ID man,” to buy alcohol. To earn their admiration, I took the cash and
bought what they wanted. Later that night, I was enjoying myself when Kai said nervously,
“Cristian isn’t okay.” Worried for my friend, I went to assess the situation. Clearly, Cristian was
overly drunk and almost unconscious.
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。
Paragraph 1: Suddenly, something went wrong: Cristian fell to the ground.
Paragraph 2: The next day, I was called to the program director’s office.
