Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent picture in a book about the primeval forest. It was a picture of
a boa constrictor（蟒蛇）in the act of swallowing an animal whole. without chewing it. After that. it was not able to
move, and it slept through the six months for digestion
I pondered deeply over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded
in making my first drawing—My Drawing Number One. I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked
them whether the drawing frightened them.
But they answered: "Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?" NO!!! It was a picture of a boa
constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it. I made Drawing Number
Two-1 drew the inside of the boa constrictor. They always need to have things explained.
The grown-ups' response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors. whether from
the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history and grammar. That is why. at the age of six.
I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. So then 1 chose to accept the fact and learn pilot
airplanes and it is true that geography has been very useful to me—at a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona.
In the course of this life. I have had many great encounters with a great many people who have been
concerned with matters of consequence. Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted. I tried
the
experiment of showing him my Drawing Number One. which I have always kept. I wondered if this was a person
of true understanding. But, whoever it was, he or she would always say. "That is a bat."
Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors, or primeval forests, or stars. I would bring myself
down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased
to have met such a sensible man.

CClimate breakdown is always changing the taste and quality of beer, scientists have warned. The quantity and
quality of hops（啤酒花）. a key ingredient in most beers. is being affected by global heating, according to a study. As
a result. beer may become more expensive and manufacturers will have to adapt their brewing（酿造）methods.
Researchers forecast that hop yields in European growing regions will fall by 4—18% by 2050 if farmers do not
adapt to hotter and drier weather. while the content of alpha acids in the hops, which gives beers their distinctive
taste and smell, will fall by 20—31%.
"Beer drinkers will definitely see the climate change, either in the price tag or the quality," said Miroslav Trnka, a
scientist at the Global Change Research Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences and co-author of the study.
published in the journal Nature Communications. "That seems to be inevitable from our data."
Beer, the third-most popular drink in the world after water and tea, is usually flavoured with aromatic（芳香的）
hops grown mostly in the middle latitudes that are sensitive to changes in light, heat and water. In recent years,
demand for high-quality hops has been pushed up by a boom in craft beers with stronger flavors. But emissions of
planet-heating gases are putting the plant at risk, the study found.
In Germany, the second-biggest hop producer in the world, average hop yields have fallen, the study found.
Beer-brewing in central Europe dates back to thousands of years and is a cornerstone of the culture. The study
found the alpha acid content of hops, which give beer its distinct aroma, had fallen in all regions.
Andreas Auernhammer, a hop farmer in Spalt in southern Germany. said the total rainfall in his fields had
changed little but that now "the rain does not come at the right time".
28. Which one is NOT an influential factor affecting the flavor and price of beer?
A. Climate shifts and greenhouse gases emissions.
B. Adaptation to new planting methods among farmers.
C. Geographical location and sensitivity of hops.
D. The decline in hop yields.
29. What does the underlined word "inevitable" mean in Paragraph 3?
A. incapable. B. affordable. C. unavoidable. D. valuable
30. Which statement is FALSE?
A. Hops are vitally necessary ingredient in most beers.
B. It tends to rain less in European hops growing regions.
C. Beer producing has a long history in Germany.
D. Alpha acid content of hops had greatly decreased in the world.
31. The purpose of the passage is .
A. to emphasize the environmental influence on hops
B. to raise people's awareness of environmental protection
C. to help hop farmers make more profits
D. to save hop production from global warming
D
A March 2023 report from Goldman Sachs estimated that AI capable of content generation could do a quarter
of all the work currently done by humans. Across the European Union and US. the report further notes. 300 million
jobscould be lost to automation. And that could be awful. says Martin Ford. author of Rule of the Robots: Hot
Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything.
"It's not just that this would happen to individuals. but it could be pretty systemic." he says. "It could happen to
a lot of people. potentially quite suddenly. potentially all at the same time. And that has implications not just for
those individuals. but for the whole economy."
Thankfully. it's not all bad news. The experts issue their warnings with a caveat（限制性条款）: there are still
things Al isn't capable of—tasks that involve distinctly human qualities. like emotional intelligence and
outside-the-box thinking. And moving into roles that centre those skills could help lessen the chances of
being replaced.
"I think there are generally three categories that are going to be relatively insulated（隔离）in the foreseeable
future." says Ford. "The first would be jobs that are genuinely creative: you're not doing formulaic work or just
rearranging things. but you're genuinely coming up with new ideas and building something new."
"The second insulated category. he continues, is jobs that require sophisticated（老练的）interpersonal
relationships. He points to nurses, secretarial clerks and investigative journalists. These are jobs. he says. "where
you need a very deep understanding of people."
The third safe zone, says Ford. "are jobs that really require lots of mobility and dexterity（灵巧）and
problem-solving ability in unpredictable environments". Many trade jobs—think electricians. plumbers, welders
and the like—fall under this umbrella. he adds. "They are probably the hardest of anything to automate."
In short. seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is good way to stave off
job loss to AI. At least, for a while.
32. According to Martin Ford what's his attitude towards AI?
A. Favorable. B. Pessimistic. C. Neutral. D. Dismissive.
33. Why did the writer mention the caveat in Paragraph 3?
A. To introduce the main topic. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To present a fact. D. To make a comparison.
34. According to the passage. in the future which job is more likely to be replaced by Al?
A. A business consultant. B. A craftsman. C. A typist. D. A tourist guide.
35. What's the best title for the text?
A. The robots really are coming for some jobs. B. The jobs AI won't take yet.
C. AI will transform working mode. D. The jobs people can do in the future.

Brushing your teeth effectively lowers your chances of getting a host of chronic diseases, as well as keeping
your teeth and gums（牙龈）healthy. 36 So what exactly are most of us getting wrong, and how can we
change our routine to make sure we brush our teeth effectively? Here's how to properly brush your teeth. according
to experts.
37 That is only partially true. It's much more important to remove bacteria from the teeth. These bacteria
and other microorganisms grow inside everyone's mouth. and form a sticky biofilm（菌膜）commonly known as dental
plaque. They are living in the sticky film stuck to the teeth and also to the soft tissues, which can't be easily washedoff—it really needs to be manually cleaned
The most important place to remove it from is not the teeth, but the gum-line. This is where germs are best able
to sink in the gum tissue and cause inflammation（炎症）. In fact, think of brushing your gum-line. rather than the
teeth themselves. 38
Brushing too hard. especially with a firmer-bristled（硬毛）brush. can cause pains and tears to the gums. 39
And rubbing the brush's bristles over the enamel（牙釉质）can cause tiny scratches in the tooth. which add up to
significant erosion over time.
40 It depends on what you've had to eat. Acidic food and drink—such as citrus fruit. fruit juice and
coffee—would be a reason to brush before rather than after breakfast. More important than the breakfast question is
the evening brush. which also has a simpler answer: it should always happen last thing before bed.
A. But the majority of us are doing it wrong.
B. Then, the teeth will be brushed automatically.
C. The first step is to brush teeth regularly with patience.
D. Is it better to brush your teeth before or after breakfast?
E. The eroded gums will become very sensitive to just being brushed off.
F. These small tears give opportunity for bacteria to enter the bloodstream.
G. Lots of patients understand that what they need to do is remove food leftover.

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. All claimed that they were the best, the
most important, the favorite.
Green said. "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of 41 and of hope. I was chosen for grass,
trees and leaves. Without me. all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the 42
."
"You only think about the earth". Blue 43 suddenly. "but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is
the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace. without which, you
would all be 44 ."
Red could stand it no longer and he shouted out. "I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood—life's blood! I am
the color of danger and 45 . I am willing to fight for a cause bravely. Without me, the earth would be as empty
as the moon. "
Finally Indigo（青色）uttered. much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination. "Think
of me. I am the color of 46 hardly noticed. but without me you all become shallow. I represent thought and
47 ."
And so the colors went on 48 louder and more proudly. each convinced of his or her own 49 .
Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening and thunder rolling and 50 . Rain started to pour down
mercilessly. The colors crouched down in fear, 51 close to one another for comfort.
Rain began to state. "You 52 colors. fighting among yourselves. each trying to 53 the rest. Don't you
know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique an d different?""From now on", The rain continued, "when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of
color as a（an） 54 that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow." And so,
whenever a good rain washes the world, and a Rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to 55 one another.

阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Many of us might not give a second thought to dropping a small piece of litter. After all, if it is so small, it
cannot possibly be that 56 （harm）, can it? Nowadays, the answer is certainly "Yes, it can!" With the growing
use of plastic bags and the 57 （rise）number of smokers, there is more litter being produced now than ever
before.
Although cigarette butts are small, they are bad for the environment. These find their way into the water supply
58 they affect water quality and endanger plants and animals. Cigarette butts can take up to 25 years to break down,
and the toxic chemicals add up to a large amount with so many cigarette butts 59 （litter）. So, if people want to
smoke they should dispose 60 the butts properly in a rubbish bin.
Plastic bags are another common form of litter that is dangerous to the environment. They are easily blown by
wind and float in water, so they can travel long 61 （distance）. We should not let plastic bags become litter. We
should use fewer plastic bags, and reuse and recycle 62 （many）that we have already used.
One way to reduce the use of plastic bags is to charge for them. Shops used to give plastic bags for free. But
in some countries. including China, customers 63 （charge）for each bag. Some shops also have 64
"bag-for-life" scheme. They sell stronger bags that can be reused, and they replace them for free if the bags ever break.
Waste is a big problem for the environment-so we need to do something. Not littering at all or cleaning up "small
waste" 65 （save）money spent on throwing litter properly. However, it would be better not to smoke or use
plastic bags at all.

For the past ten years, my dad and I have attended the same school—he was an administrator and I was a student.
Our relationship, in and out of school. has been totally unpredictable.
When I was younger. naturally. I did anything as my dad said. We had fun playing games together, and stayed up
late reading bedtime stories. I counted on my dad taking me to school. I ran into him regularly during the day and rode
home with him every afternoon, singing together happily all the way home.
As I grew older, we were not as close as we used to be. He wasn't cool any more. He wore his socks too high,
listened to horrible country music and laughed too loudly in front of my friends. I often blushed. However, the
disasters that occurred in school were even worse. The worst one happened in seventh grade. My dad came to our
New Year party. dressed up as Donald Duck. guitar in hand, singing silly songs joyfully. Just kill me! My classmates
burst out laughing. I tried to laugh with them. but my face burned with embarrassment. I wanted to spring to my feet
and run away.
This struggle continued into high school. but we somehow began to find a balance. Things started to change
around the time of my 10th-grade physics project. The task was to build a wood bridge with the best
strength-to-weight ratio（强度重量比）. All the students and physics teachers participated with great interest.
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。
So did my dad, the only administrator!
We'd won, and I gradually learned to appreciate something in my dad.
