Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people
who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her
family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.
One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She
bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by
mistake. "After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favorite color-and put it in the
front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk, " she says.
That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They
played games, did crafts and ate snacks. "We got intentional about where we spent our
time, " Kristin says. "We became 'front yard people'.”
Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin
invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin
if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. "It
was a simple way to slow down and connect with others, " she says: The-turquoise table
was inviting and had a shared feel.
People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too
messy, it's not big enough or they don't have enough time. "Our perfectionism can cause
us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others, " Kristin says. Her picnic table takes
away the excuses—and the pressure.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and build-
ing relationships in her community. "People's greatest need is to know that they are loved
and that they belong, " she says.

states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. "No
matter what color it is, it's a friendship table, " Kristin says.

If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to
pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans
pour onto our planet's surface? The second question is easier to answer: a lot.
Salt doesn't directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it
makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the
case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule
（ 分 子 ） splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its
Page 6 of 14
学科网（北京）股份有限公司molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however,
and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur.
But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when tempera-
tures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice? That's
where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction
allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze.
Beyond rock salt's ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions
（氯离子） can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities
in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drink-
ing water.
Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as
magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they're
perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions,
including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach re-
lies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experi-
mentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition-a Herculean task
when winter brings its worst.
28. What's the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To give some evidence.
C. To define the phenomenon D. To reveal the misconception.
29. How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing?
A. By lowering the temperature. B. By melting and splitting itself.
C. By lining up to form a solid structure. D. By stopping the formation of the
structure.
30. What does the underlined word "densities" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Concentrations. B. Weights. C. Qualities. D. Salts.
31. What's the last paragraph mainly talking about?
A. Other salts won't disturb local ecology.
B. Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels.
C. Many alternatives are available to solve the problem.

About ten years ago, logging into Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram would mostly show
posts from friends and family in the order they were posted. Today, these platforms present
a mix of content, tailored by algorithms （算法） to match users' interests, whether it's
plants, sports, cats, or politics.
Kyle Chayka, a writer for The New Yorker, discusses this topic in his book, Filter-
world. He explains that algorithms analyze user data to predict and influence what they will
likely engage with. This means that instead of a simple, chronological feed, users encounter a
dynamic stream, constantly adapting to their preferences. Chayka examines how these algo-
rithmic recommendations control what we consume, from music and movies to food and
travel destinations. He argues that this machine-driven selection process has turned us into
passive consumers, making our preferences and tastes more similar.
Chayka points out that algorithms make us passive by always showing us content that
we're unlikely to click away from but won't find too unexpected or challenging. This con-
stant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content,
subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors.
Moreover, Chayka points out that algorithms also pressure content creators, like musi-
cians and artists, to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms. For instance, musicians on
Spotify or TikTok might focus on creating catchy hooks at the beginning of their songs to
grab the listener's attention.
Despite the strong presence of these algorithms, Chayka believes that regulation could
reduce their influence. He suggests that if Meta, the parent company of Facebook, were
required to separate its various services, like Instagram or WhatsApp, and make them com-
pete with each other, it could give users more control and choice over their digital con-
sumption.
In summary, the change from simple, time-ordered social. media posts to algorithm-
driven content has a big impact on both the viewers and the creators, influencing what we
see, hear, and even think. Chayka's insights highlight the need for greater awareness and
potentially more regulation in our increasingly digital world.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司32. According. to the text, how have social media platforms changed in the past ten
years?
A. They show posts in a time-based order.
B. They prioritize posts from friends and family.
C. They make adjustments to satisfy users' needs.
D. They provide more content to meet different needs.
33. What does Kyle Chayka think of algorithmic recommendations?
A. They make users more active consumers.
B. They shape users' preferences and behaviors.
C. They reduce the influence of content creators.
D. They expose users to diverse and challenging content.
34. How do algorithms influence musicians' work on digital platforms?
A. By encouraging musicians to create longer songs.
B. By discouraging musicians from using catchy hooks.
C. By giving musicians more control and choice over their music.
D. By requiring musicians to create their work to fit the platforms.
35. What can be concluded from the text?
A. Tech companies should have more departments.
B. Social media algorithms give content creators less opportunities.
C. Social media algorithms flatten our culture by making decisions for us.
D. Network platforms have increased the common recommendations for 10 years.

The Chinese zodiac, also known as Sheng Xiao or Shu Xiang, is a 56 （re-
peat）circle of 12 years. Each year 57 （represent）by an animal. Chinese New
Year 2024 is a year of the Loong.
Chinese Zodiac Loong is the 58 （five） of the 12 zodiac animals, following
the Rat, Ox, Tiger and Rabbit. People born in the year of the Loong-an animal no one
knows if it existed in real world-are enveloped in mystery, and very charming.
Back in the pre-Qin period over 2, 200 years ago, there was already the Chinese zo-
diac signs theory. So it is 59 （reason） that Chinese Zodiac years are in agree-
ment with the beginning of Chinese Lunar New Year. If you have an idea of Lunar Calen-
dar, you will know 6 0 Chinese zodiac year often starts from late January and ends in
middle February of the next year.
Therefore, to see what your Chinese zodiac animal is, 61 to confirm whether
you are a Loong, you need to change your Gregorian calendar birthday to Lunar Calendar
of the year you were born. For example, if you were born 62 February 16, 1988
（a year of the Loong）, the Lunar New Year's Eve, which was very close to Loong year,
but you are a Rabbit.
63 is also worth mentioning is that if two people were born in the different
Loong years, they may have very different 64 （personality）, and horoscope, due
to the Five Elements, which are Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Each element 65
（come） in a 60-year cycle.

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。
When we were finally dismissed from the last class of the day, the students streamed
out of the classrooms. It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I
sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a
turn for the worse.
The lift lobby（电梯间） of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted
white, had been dirtied over many years. I reached my flat's lobby, and pressed the lift
button and went in. Just then, Mrs Lim, my elderly neighbour, hobbled （蹒跚） in. She
looked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a faded old-fashioned dress. I held the
lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her how she felt
that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, then we were silent
for the rest of the ride.
The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking sounds here and there
while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned
cold and wet with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the fifth floor. I
pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons
had gone out. It soon dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my
spine. Mrs Lim was hysterical （歇斯底里）.
"We will never get out!" she cried with her face pale. It had become a colourless
mask. I had no time to lose. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was
surely deafening, but what other choice did I have? Mrs Lim burst into tears. I tried my
very best to comfort her, telling her that everything would be all right and that we needed
Page 13 of 14
学科网（北京）股份有限公司to find out how to get out safely. Mrs Lim began having trouble breathing, and I immedi-
ately helped her sit down and loosened her collar.
Paragraph 1: Several minutes passed, but no help came.
Paragraph2: Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other
side of the lift door.
