“Palace, Mountain, Moon?” has been selected by NASA as the Astronomical Picture of the Day for December
25, 2023.
The photo was taken by Valerio, a young photographer of Turin, Italy. It was shot on the evening of December
15, 2023. While he knew about NASA`s competition, he hadn`t considered participating until receiving much
encouragement from his social media followers. Soon after, he received the message, “Your image has been chosen as
the astronomical photo of the day.” It was incredible!
In a photo like this, nothing is left to luck. The concept came to him back in 2017. Walking on the hills north of
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Turin, he found several spots perfect for including both the Basilica of Superga Palace and Mountain Monviso. After
numerous visits over several months, he identified four spots where Superga and Monviso line up just right.
After exactly finding these locations, he experimented with shooting them at different times. “I knew I needed
something special to perfect the photo. The Sun was a no-go, so I turned to the Moon. Its various phases（位相）and
positions reach an azimuth angle（方位角）of 230 degrees,” Valerio said. With this in mind, he researched
the Moon`s phases, marked potential dates on the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join
the queue.
It was very successful, especially because the Moon was in a waning phase. This meant that in the photo, not
only was its crescent（新月）lit up, but so was the left part, its shadowed side. That part is lit by reflected
light, also known as Da Vinci`s glow, named after him because he was the one who theorized about why the Moon`s
shadowed side is brightened. During the early days of the waning Moon phases, the shadowed part is visible because
the Sun`s light reflects off the Earth and hits the Moon`s shadowed side, giving it a greyish, silvery color. This
allowed the light to outline Monviso on the left as well.
24. Why did Valerio send the photo to NASA?
A. He developed an interest in astronomical advances.
B. He expected to encourage followers on social media.
C. He received broad support from enthusiastic fans.
D. He got a message of invitation from NASA.
25. In Valerio`s photo, the three objects ______.
A. shine light on each other B. stand in a straight line
C. fit each other in size D. vary from usual in color
26. What did Valerio do to prepare for the perfect photo?
A. Studying how the Moon phase changes.
B. Pay numerous visits to the spots for good luck
C. Analyzing when to adjust the camera angle.
D. Measuring the height of the observation point.
27. What was lit up by the Da Vinci`s glow?
A. The outline of the crescent. B. The outline of Superga.
C. The dark side of the Moon. D. The shadowed side of the Earth.
C
Geologists have long been fascinated by a missing piece of Earth`s history—a lost continent called Argoland.
Around 155 million years ago, the 5,000-kilometer continent broke off from Western Australia and began drifting
（漂移）, leaving behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain. But where did
Argoland actually go?
The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward and ended up Southeast Asia. But
surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands, only small continental fragments（碎片）
surrounded by ancient oceanic basins. Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that
Argoland hadn`t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to
学科网（北京）股份有限公司the east of Indonesia.
Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into
many smaller fragments that were dispersed, which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent`s
geological features. However, with advanced technology and the discovery, scientists can now piece them together.
Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity. It could help
explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals,
birds, and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how
clearly it separates the island`s wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals（胎盘哺乳动物）like
apes and elephants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find animals typically
associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away
from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different
nations.
The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation. As the world continues to
evolve, this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the breakability of life on this planet, and a reminder of the
importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in.
28. What do we know about Argoland?
A. It split into two pieces many years ago.
B. It broke away from the African continent.
C. It sank to the bottom of the Argo Abyssal Plain.
D. It exists as fragments under the eastern islands of Indonesia.
29. What does the underlined word “dispersed” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Crashed. B. Distributed. C. Connected. D. Distinguished.
30. Why does the author mention the “Wallace line” in paragraph 4?
A. To explain an unsolved mystery for scientist.
B. To stress the significance of tracing Argoland.
C. To prove the biodiversity of Southeast Asian islands.
D. To introduce the evolutionary process of Australian species.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Discovery of a Lost Continent B. The Mysterious Disappearance of Argoland
C. The Theory of Fragments Drifting D. The Breakability of Life on the Earth
D
When we encounter a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. However, considerable
evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence.
To unlock the great potential in teams, we`d better shift to a process called “brainwriting”. You start by asking
group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you collect them and share them
among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which
do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. By developing and
assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding（详述）on them, the team can surface and
学科网（北京）股份有限公司advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise.
An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. Given
the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn`t hold brainstorming sessions. Rather, they established a global
brainwriting system to generate individual ideas. A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone. This
specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners, making it possible to save
them.
Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method
works. They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, it`s too
easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting process ensures that all
ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn`t to be the smartest person in
the room. It`s to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn`t end there. Individuals produce a greater
volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas
than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and
bring out the best ideas.
32. What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming?
A. It highlights independent work. B. It encourages group cooperation.
C. It prioritizes quality over quantity. D. It prefers writing to oral exchanges.
33. Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3?
A. To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting.
B. To praise a young man with brainwriting technique.
C. To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting.
D. To explain the role of brainwriting in communication.
34. How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4?
A. By blocking the loudest voices. B. By allowing equal involvement.
C. By improving individual wisdom. D. By generating more creative ideas.
35. Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A. Individual writing. B. Group sharing.
C. Personal evaluation. D. Joint discussion.

Accents in English
Accents（口音）are fascinating and usually come with kinds of information. 36 . So many people,
especially actors, are interested in learning accents.
Thanks to the development of technology, various handy accesses are available for people to share and
pick up accents. English actor and accent coach Sarah Valentine is an expert in teaching the tones which can change
the English language. 3 7 .
Valentine has been working in TV since the 1990s. She appears to have found success coaching other actors to
学科网（北京）股份有限公司speak in a variety of dialects. 3 8 However, TikTok is a medium to educate the masses. Valentine`s TikTok takes
simple phrases, such as “I`m hungry” or “the milk smells funny”. Valentine then repeats these simple words in
accents including German, Dutch, and New York. She also highlights the rich variety of dialects within the UK,
including Yorkshire, Scouse, Cockney, Geordie, Welsh, and Northern Irish.
“ 3 9 ,” James Lantolf, a professor at Penn State, said. “Isolated（偏僻的）areas, such as New
Orleans, develop different dialects. Since there is no contact between regions, entire words and languages can grow
and develop independently. Social status and education also affect the language of an individual person.” It is thought
that accents have psycho-social purposes, allowing individuals to identify oneself and others as part of a group.
Everyone has an accent. A dialect coach like Valentine can help one learn to speak differently, for an acting job
or for fun. 40 . Learning a second language as an adult is difficult; for much the same reason, it`s challenging to
change your accent. With that in mind, watching Valentine change accents at the drop of a hat is all the more
impressive.
A. One`s birthplace can affect his accent
B. In fact, all accents are worthy of pride
C. However, not all accents are worth learning
D. Much work with actors is done in one-on-one coaching
E. They can signal one`s living places, education and personality
F. On TikTok, she gives examples of simple phrases repeated in over 20 accents
G. A region`s location has a direct influence on the development of a local language

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。
When I was seven years old, my family moved from Mexico to America. In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who
loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play with my friends. However, when I arrived
in America, I found it hard to fit in, and I became quieter.
We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables—my responsibility. While I took pride
in watching them grow, there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella`s,
with its delicate tulips（郁金香）. Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me, we barely knew
each other.
It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends.
The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon. The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind, and thick grey
clouds filled the sky. Gradually, the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel
（漏斗）. My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Terrified, I sat close
to my mom, knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief
学科网（北京）股份有限公司that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged.
As I stepped outside, I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood. Across
the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing（压坏）Luella`s garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried
over to check on it. Fortunately, her family seemed to be away at the time, and no one was injured. However, her
once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris（碎片）spread everywhere.
I could only imagine how heartbroken they must feel seeing this.
Then my mom`s usual words rang in my ear, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and my
family started to think about how we could help.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

My Favorite Athlete
There are quite a few outstanding athletes in the world, among whom Quan Hongchan is my favorite.
Born in 2007, Quan Hongchan began to practice diving at the age of 7. With the aim of helping pay her mother`s
medical expenses with prize money, she practised tirelessly. Young as she is, she has achieved incredible
achievements and won many precious medals. At the Tokyo Olympic Games, she won the gold medal in the women`s
10-meter platform diving and gained another two in Paris four years later, becoming a national idol.
It is her love for her mother, her persistence and her frankness that touch me most. I sincerely wish her all the
best.
续写范文:
Just at that moment, Luella`s family returned in their car. Empathy surged within me as I saw the shock and
disbelief on their faces. I couldn`t help but approach Luella, tightly holding her hands and saying, “I`m so sorry for
your loss, but thankfully you`re all right.” She weakly nodded at me, still appearing puzzled by the disastrous sight.
My family volunteered to help them clean up the mess, cutting down the branches and removing the fallen trees from
the yard. To lift Luella`s spirits and bring her comfort, I tried my best to cheer her up while tidying the garden with
her, during which my own joyful personality seemed to revive a bit.
Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella`s sorrow for her lost garden. My heart went out
to her, knowing how much she had cherished those tulips that she had devoted so much energy to. Yet now, they were
all gone. Determined to restore the beauty that once thrived, I suggested that we rebuild the garden. Luella agreed
delightedly. With each bulb carefully planted and watered, the new tulip seedlings once again filled the garden, which
symbolized the sprouting of a new friendship between us, as well as the turning that I finally got embraced by this
new environment. My mom was right: it`s more blessed to give than to receive because when you give. You may
receive something unexpected in return.

M: When will you have enough to do that?
W: If I keep saving the same amount each month, I will meet my target in five years.
M: Don't be boring. You should buy a nice car and enjoy the good life. Live for today, not
W: I'm afraid that sounds a bit silly to me. I will stick to my plan.
10-12 【原文】 M: Could you help me, please?
W: Yes, what do you want?
M: Could I borrow your computer for a couple of days?
W: What's wrong with yours? Has somebody stolen it?
M: No, it's been running really slow the last few days. Last night the screen just went black and I
couldn't get it to work again.
W: What are you going to do?
M: I'll take it to the repair shop tomorrow and get it fixed. The problem is that I'm in the middle
of doing a science project, which I need to finish today.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司W: OK, but I'm watching a video on my computer now. It's homework from my teacher. I can
bring it over to you around noon.
M: OK, that will be great. Thank you so much.
W: I'm glad to help. That's what friends are for.
13-16 【原文】 W: Have you noticed that people keep visiting the house next door?
M: The empty one, you mean?
W: Yes, today is the third time this week that I have seen people there. They were there for ages.
M: It's been empty for a long time, hasn't it? It must be in a very poor state.
W: It is. I wouldn't be surprised if the floor is broken.
M: Maybe the people you've seen have come to fix it.
W: They probably come to buy it. I heard people talking about it in the local shop the other day.
M: Oh, really? What were they saying?
W: They were saying some people from London had looked at the house and they were thinking of turning
it into a hotel.
M: How would you feel about having a hotel next door to you?
W: I can't imagine what it would be to have strangers coming and going every day. I mean, we don't know
them. We're not sure if they're good people or bad people.
M: Your worry makes sense
W: So I suppose I'd prefer to have an empty house next door to me.

Now we'll finish our news report with a happy story of a family that got together after 10 years apart. The
missing family member is a cat. Colin and Echo have lived in a house boat for 14 years. Two years after they got
the boat, they took in three black and white cats that they named after characters from the Harry Potter
series—Harry, Ron and Hermione. The cats often jumped off the boat and always returned, but one day, Harry
never came back. The couple searched around and put up posters to ask for information, but the cat had just
disappeared. The couple missed him, but they still had two other cats to care for. So imagine their surprise when they
got a call last week. It said that the cat had been found. It turns out that Harry had been living on a farm for the last
10 years. A visitor found Harry there and sent him to an animal shelter. Luckily, the shelter worker found Harry still
had the stored data of the owner with him. Harry has now returned home and lives with his brother and sister.
