performances in Houston and Los Angeles. As a well-received classic in its homeland, Tea-
house is a must-see for everyone interested in contemporary Chinese literature, and anyone
interested in catching a glimpse of the remarkable changes in modern China within two hours
and thirty minutes.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司I was sitting in between my parents on a 15-hour flight from Toronto to Seoul, where
I was going to negotiate a book project. My Airbnb had enough room for us all. So when
my parents brought it up as a half-joke that they would come, too, I didn't think it was
unreasonable.
I was merely 8 when we embarked on our immigration journey. Korea was their coun-
try. They wouldn't need me there as they did in Canada. But the first week proved to be
rough. We were upside down with the time change. My father announced that the first thing
they wanted to do was visit my grandma's grave（坟墓）. We had discussed visiting a few
relatives, but going to grandma's grave had never come up. It was starting: family obliga-
tions seized my work time. "You guys go, I said. While my father showered, my mother
took me aside. "Your dad has always been counting the days for the moment when he can
show her how well you grew up. "I laughed but I was deeply moved. So I decided to ac-
company them.
As we approached the graveyard, I gathered some colored wildflowers from the park-
ing lot and tied them with a long piece of grass. My parents got busy weeding around the
headstone. "Your name is on the back, my father said. "See here?" I looked, and there was
my Korean name carved beside those of my siblings and cousins. It felt odd to see our
names on the headstone all of us, the living and dead, connected. I saw a link in a chain
that stretches generations back.
I didn't know how to tell them that the trip was amazing. I realized how I was inter-
twined with them, and they were interwoven into me. We don't belong to languages or
countries. My grandma died only four months before we moved to Canada, when she was
too frail（虚弱的） to make the trip. I hope she knows that we did take her, and that maybe
all we have is each other.
24. What was the main reason for the author's trip to Seoul?
A. To visit grandma's graveyard. B. To have a family reunion.
C. To work on a project. D. To accompany his parents.
25. Why did the author initially decline to visit his grandma's grave?
A. He was exhausted from the flight. B. He had work commitments.
C. He liked visiting other relatives better. D. He preferred exploring alone.
5 / 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司26. Why did the author's father want to take him to grandma's grave?
A. To introduce the author to relatives. B. To fulfil a long-awaited wish.
C. To observe a family ceremony. D. To help with weeding.
27. What did the author realize during the trip?
A. Never forget our home country. B. Family is a bridge to our future.
C. The world is one big family. D. Home is the bond with people.

Humans eat an astonishing amount of meat every year-some 800 billion pounds of it,
enough flesh to fill roughly 28 million dump trucks. Our desire for meat, particularly in
industrialized countries like the United States, is one reason why the planet is warming as
fast as it is. Raising animals consumes a lot of land that could otherwise soak up carbon.
Cows. sheep, and goats give out heat-trapping methane （甲烷）. And to grow the corn,
soy, and other plants that those animals eat, farmers spray fertilizer that emits nitrous oxide
（一氧化二氮）， another planet-warming gas.
Cutting out meat sounds like an effective approach. But what would happen if every-
one actually stopped eating meat tomorrow? Such a quick shift probably wouldn't cause the
sort of turmoil that would come if the planet immediately abandoned fossil fuels. But still,
the consequence could be quite chaotic, causing different problems.
Researchers say the economic damage caused by the sudden disappearance of meat
would fall disproportionately on low-income countries with farming economies, like Niger
or Kenya, where farming and raising livestock are critical sources of income. Getting rid of
livestock overnight would not only deprive many people of essential nutrients, but also
threaten food security, especially in regions like South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Be-
sides, there's the issue of cultural damage. Taking away meat, according to Wilson Warren, a
history professor at Western Michigan University, would do more than just deprive Ameri-
cans of hot dogs and hamburgers and Italians of salami.
6 / 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Rejecting meat entirely, let alone immediately, isn't an ideal solution to the climate cri-
sis. Dutkiewicz, a political economist at the Pratt Institute, suggested using guidelines estab-
lished by the EAT-Lancet Commission, an international group of scientists who have de-
signed a diet intended to give people the nutrients they need without destroying the planet.
28. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A. Feeding animals costs more than growing plants.
B. The USA consumes the most meat annually.
C. Meat consumption may increase global warming.
D. Fertilizer should be banned around the world.
29. What does the underlined word "turmoil" mean in paragraph 2?
A. Prediction. B. Disorder. C. Pollution. D. Shortage.
30. Abandoning meat immediately might lead to ______.
A. the global crisis B. improved well-being
C. cultural diversity D. food safety issues
31. What might the author continue talking about?
A. The declining meat industry. B. Specific diet suggestions.
C. Global climate crisis. D. Farmers' protest.

One of the world's greenest office buildings will formally open its doors this week. It's
a project of the environmentally progressive Bullitt Foundation. Its ambition is bold: to
showcase an entirely self-sustaining office building hoping that others will create similar
projects.
The first thing that strikes you about the new Bullitt Center is an emphasis on walk-
ing. "In a building this size, any place else in Seattle it would have two elevators. Here, the
stairway is obvious and attractive,"says Denis Hayes, CEO of the foundation. He explains
there is an elevator, but it's well-hidden. The staircase encourages exercise and the concept
helps cut down on energy use.
This is one of dozens of visionary decisions that went into this building. "It has eyes,
ears, a nervous system and a brain and it responds to its environment in a way that seeks
7 / 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司to optimize （优化） things," he says. He points across the street to a mini weather sta-
tion. It sends data to the building so it can decide what it should do to conserve energy.
"I think it's fair to say we were all a bit skeptical in the beginning, "says Chris
Rogers, the founder of a firm in cooperation with the foundation. Rogers and the others set
out to meet the ambitious goals of the Living Building Challenge, a green building stan-
dard set by local architects.
Clearly this building is not for everyone. If you think of it as simply an office build-
ing, it was relatively pricey to design and build. But if you view it as a laboratory, an ed-
ucational center and a bold effort to change how things are built, the calculation changes.
Still, one could wonder, is it possible to build more with similar self-sustaining fea-
tures at a reasonable cost? "If this building isn't reproducible, then this experiment will
have failed, says Rogers. But if it is successful, he's optimistic others will follow the foun-
dation's lead. Rogers points out that over the past couple of decades, many builders have
been integrating green elements into their buildings.
32. What motivates the designers to highlight the stairway?
A. To beautify the building. B. To offer convenience.
C. To hide the elevator. D. To conserve energy.
33. Which description best summarizes the Bullitt Center according to paragraph 3?
A. A living organism. B. A first responder.
C. A brain system. D. A data base.
34. Which argument does Chris Rogers hold probably?
A. It is reasonable to hold doubt in the building's future.
B. The building has been inspired by previous efforts.
C. The reproduction of the building is crucial.
D. The building stands for a progressive force.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Look Inside The World's Greenest Building
B. The Outlook For Green Buildings Is Promising
C. How Can We Build More Green Buildings?
D. Will This Super Green Building Be Copied?

余选项。
Those who consciously focus on each inhalation （吸气） and exhalation （呼气）
could gain some impressive health benefits, especially for those that struggle with medita-
tion （冥想）.
A new controlled study among 108 participants （divided into two groups: breathing
and meditation）found that over the course of a month, five minutes of daily breath tech-
niques provided similar benefits to mood and anxiety as five minutes of meditation. 36
The study suggests breathing exercises may be a more "effective and powerful" mental
health tool than meditation in the treatment of anxiety.
37 Those who spent five minutes working on their breath each day showed the
most stress relief at the end of the month, with day-on-day improvements in their mental
and physiological health.
What's more, the study tested three different breathing techniques. 38 Partici-
pants who were asked to practice cyclic sighing-when exhalations are pronounced and pro-
longed-showed greater improvements than those who were asked to practice box breathing-
when inhalation, a pause, and exhalation all match in duration—or cyclic hyperventilation （强
力呼吸）-when inhalations are longer and exhalations are shorter.
Previous studies have shown that inhalations increase heart rate while exhalations de-
crease it. Perhaps that's why cyclic sighing is so effective in relaxing the body and mind.
Box breathing, on the other hand, is often used by military personnel to remain calm. 3 9
As humans, we never fully have control over our bodies. 4 0 Practicing a moment of
control, even simply to sigh, could be just what the doctor ordered.
A. One of them seemed to perform the best.
B. That is a reality which shouldn't go unnoticed.
C. Each of the techniques showed the same benefit.
D. Cyclic hyperventilation, on occasion, is used to relieve panic.
E. In fact. participants from the breathing group were even better off.
F. During the study, participants reported on their mood and vital signs.
9 / 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司G. There's something about controlled breathing that seems to set it apart.

Chinese ancient civilisation has continued all the way through into modern times, de-
spite the many ups and downs in 56 （it） history. There are many reasons why
this has been possible. but one of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system.
At the 57 （begin）, written Chinese was a picture-based language. It dates
back several thousand years to the use of longgu animal bones and shells on which sym-
bols 5 8 （carve）by ancient Chinese people.
By the Shang Dynasty, these symbols 59 （become）a well-developed writing
system. Over the years. the system developed into different forms, as it was a time when
people were divided 60 （geographical）, leading to many varieties of dialects and
characters. This, however, changed under Emperor Qinshihuang of 6 1 Qin Dynasty.
Emperor Qinshihuang unified the seven major states into one 6 2 （unite）country
where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. Today, no matter
where Chinese people live or 63 dialect they speak, they can all still communicate
in writing.
Written Chinese has also become an important means 64 which China's present
is connected with its past. The high regard for the Chinese writing system can be seen as
an art form. 65 （know） as Chinese calligraphy, which has become an important
part of Chinese culture.

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。
The school I went to had a tradition carried out every year during the eighth-grade
graduation: a beautiful gold and green jacket （the school colors）was awarded to the stu-
dent who had maintained the highest grades for eight years.
I was fourteen and in the eighth grade. I had been a straight-A student since the first
grade and this last year had looked forward very much to owning that jacket. My family
was so poor that, when I was six, I was given to my grandparents to raise. I couldn't par-
ticipate in sports at school because we couldn't afford the fees; even though I was quite
athletic, there would never be a school sports jacket for me. So, this one, the scholarship
jacket, was my only chance.
One day in May, close to graduation, outside the history teacher's classroom, I heard a
fierce argument between the principal and my history teacher, Mr. Frank, about giving the
scholarship jacket to Joann, whose father is on the Board and owns the only store in town.
Frank angrily claimed that he would never lie or falsify（伪造） records.
The principal approached me tentatively: "Martha, there's been a change in policy this
year. The Board has decided to charge fifteen dollars for the scholarship jacket this year.
So if you are unable to pay the fifteen dollars for the jacket it will be given to the next
one in line. Staring at him in shock, I didn't need to ask who that was.

cried on the walk home from the bus stop. I wanted that jacket so much. It represented
