We live in a town, about half a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that
week and there were 1 warnings for some of the nearby areas, but not where I was.
As a precaution, I’d 2 sandbags outside my garden door and piled electronics and clothing on
tables and the couch just in case water managed to see p through.
As I fell asleep, I was 3 by the sound of rushing water. When I swung my legs off the bed, I
was 4 to feel cold water already up to my knees and rising fast. Shivering and in darkness, I grabbed
my phone and 5 its flashlight. Water was coming from the garden door, and chairs, bookshelves and
pieces of my drum set were floating all over my living room. The Ahr must have 6 burst its banks
and breached the sandbags. And now I had to get out — fast!
With the water now up to my waist, in bare feet I started to paddle to my only 7 : the door
leading to upstairs. Finally I made it to that door and tried to pull it open, but the water’s pressure was high. I
managed to make a 8 of about 30 centimeters with all my strength and effort, enough for me to
squeeze through. Rushing down outside, I 9 that if I had woken up just a few minutes later, I would

survived.”

In many cultures, it is considered unlucky to spill salt. Fortunately, many cultures also have a solution
to the problem, which usually involves throwing a pinch of salt over your shoulder. It may seem confusing
to modern humans, but knowing that salt was once incredibly valuable can change this perspective.
For thousands of years, salt was an extremely rare commodity. It was difficult to obtain so that the price
was very high. Many trading routes were set up to carry salt, people were paid in salt, and salt was
sometimes worth more than its weight in gold. Therefore, spilling salt was considered wasteful.
Because of its high value, salt was also associated with friendship and good fortune. Offerings of salt
were included in many religious ceremonies, and people might bring salt to a new home for good luck.
These associations would have suggested that it would be bad luck to spill salt, since it would seem to
violate salt’s fortunate properties.
Salt is also an excellent preservative. It prevents food from going bad. As such, it came to be linked
with health and longevity. In some cultures, spilling salt was thought to reduce one's well-being. In Britain,
for example, each spilled grain was said to represent a tear, while in Germany spilled salt awakened the
devil, bringing misfortune.
The fear of spilling salt was also adopted into the Christian faith. It is said that Judas spilled salt at the
Last Supper, and since he later turned out to be the betrayer of Christ, spilled salt is considered unlucky by
many Christians.
Should you be unfortunate enough to spill salt, you might throw a pinch over your left shoulder to blind
the Devil.
24．Spilling salt was probably thought to bring bad luck because ________.
A．it was a Christian faith B．salt was linked with misfortune
C．it would decrease one’s lifespan D．salt was always expensive than gold
25．What does the underlined word “preservative” probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Protector. B．Flavor. C．Medium. D．Solution.26．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A．To introduce the history of salt. B．To show ways to avoid misfortune.
C．To explain the beliefs about spilling salt.D．To entertain readers with some anecdotes.

Across the world, humans purchase around 1.3 billion single-use plastic water bottles a day. Because
only about 9% of plastic is recycled, the vast majority of those bottles wind up in landfills, the ocean, or
elsewhere in nature.
When beach-loving Madison noticed those plastic bottles during her family’s trips to California, the 12-
year-old “just felt like this needed to change,” she told Smithsonian Magazine.
So as she began thinking about what to do for her school science fair back in 2021, the idea of a project
centered on reducing plastic pollution quickly came to her mind: she would design an eatable water bottle
called the Eco-Hero.
“One of my biggest ambitions for my project was wanting to help the world,” the confident young
inventor said in a video on the website.
To bring her idea to life, Madison built upon the already established method by experimenting with
common food materials. She also took inspiration from previous versions of eatable water bottles, though
she focused on making hers bigger and more durable. She found that the combination of water, lemon juice,
natural gum, and Alginic acid (褐藻酸) resulted in a gel pouch that wouldn’t break, could hold up to 3/4 cup
of water, and would last in the fridge for three weeks.
Though she’d like to improve the Eco-Hero by making it able to hold more water, she believes her
current version would work well as a replacement for the paper cups used by runners in races. All one needs
to do is bite a hole in the water ball, drink the water, and then eat the pouch or throw it away to biodegrade.
Madison hopes the Eco-Hero inspires others to take better care of the planet. “It doesn’t necessarily
have to be in a big way,” she told Smithsonian. “People can still make a difference in the world, even if it’s
just in a small way.”
27．What inspired Madison’s design of an eatable water bottle?
A．Her school’s task. B．Her family’s urge.
C．Her love for nature. D．Her trips to the beach.
28．What can we know about the Eco-Hero?
A．It is a copy of the previous versions.
B．It is made from unbreakable materials.
C．It is an improvement in size and durability.D．It has a hole and should be disposed once used.
29．Which of the following words can best describe Madison?
A．Ambitious and creative. B．Talented and determined.
C．Courageous and confident. D．Cooperative and committed.
30．What can be the best title for the text?
A．A good beginning is half done. B．Small people make big moves.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way. D．God helps those who help themselves.

Nowadays, the world is slowly becoming a high-tech society and we are now surrounded by
technology. Facebook and Twitter are innovative tools; text messaging is still a somewhat existing
phenomenon and even e-mail is only a flashing spot on the screen when compared with our long history of
snail mail. Now we adopt these tools to the point of essentialness, and only rarely consider how we are more
fundamentally affected by them.
Social media, texting and e-mail all make it much easier to communicate, gather and pass information,
but they also present some dangers. By removing any real human engagement, they enable us to develop our
abnormal self-love without the risk of disapproval or criticism. To use a theatrical metaphor(隐喻), these
new forms of communication provide a stage on which we can each create our own characters, hidden
behind a fourth wall of tweets, status updates and texts. This unreal state of unconcern can become addictive
as we separate ourselves a safe distance from the cruelty of our fleshly lives, where we are imperfect,
powerless and insignificant. In essence, we have been provided not only the means to be more free, but also
to become new, to create and project a more perfect self to the world. As we become more reliant on these
tools, they become more a part of our daily routine, and so we become more restricted in this fantasy.
So it is that we live in a cold era, where names and faces represent two different levels of closeness,
where working relationships occur only through the magic of email and where love can start or end by text
message. An environment such as this reduces interpersonal relationships to mere digital exchanges.
Would a celebrity have been so daring to do something dishonorable if he had had to do it in person?
Doubtful. It seems he might have been lost in a fantasy world that ultimately convinced himself into
believing the digital self could obey different rules and regulations, as if he could continually push the limits
of what’s acceptable without facing the consequences of “real life.”
31．What can we know about new communication tools?
A．Destroying our life totally. B．Posing more dangers than good.
C．Helping us to hide our faults. D．Replacing traditional letters.32．What is the potential threat caused by the novel communication tools?
A．Sheltering us from virtual life. B．Removing face-to-face interaction.
C．Leading to false mental perception. D．Making us rely more on hi-tech media.
33．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A．Technologies have changed our relationships.
B．The digital world is a recipe for pushing limits.
C．Love can be better conveyed by text message.
D．The digital self need not take responsibility.
34．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Addiction to the Virtual World B．Cost of Falling into Digital Life
C．Interpersonal Skills on the Net D．The Future of Social Media

The Failed New Year’s Resolution: Three Tips to Get on Track
January is officially over, and many people are taking stock of their progress towards New Year’s
resolutions. The fact is that you probably haven’t kept up with them as much as you hoped. But that’s not
your fault. 35 . If you feel like you have already failed, here are three tips before you let go.
Practice self-compassion
Many people talk to themselves in harsh ways when struggling with new habits, believing self-criticism
will help them reach their goals. Research shows, however, that the opposite is true. Self-compassion is
more effective for personal improvement, especially when facing failure. 36 , try to be kind and
gentle with yourself, just as you would with a loved one.
37
Resolutions are often phrased as definitive goals. I will exercise daily. I will kick desserts. 38
. But setting all-or-nothing goals can lead to all-or-nothing decisions that one gives up when faced with
challenges. In contrast, intentions focus more on your values than specific actions. For example, the
resolution “I will exercise daily” may become an intention of “I want to move my body because it feels
good.” This approach allows for more flexibility when unexpected stress arises.
Solve problems by overcoming barriers
If you are struggling to maintain your desired habits, there are evidence-based techniques available to
help you. 39 . This involves identifying the specific barriers that lead to your quitting somethingthat you want to do. Perhaps you keep forgetting the new habit, or perhaps you don’t understand how to do
it. Whatever it is, identify the barrier and cope with it specifically.
A．Set all-or-nothing goals
B．Change your resolutions into intentions
C．One such skill is called missing links analysis
D．Setting specific behavioral goals can be effective
E．If you’re persuaded to give up on your resolutions
F．Old habits tend to die hard, and new habits tend to die easy
G．When you are upset about yourself for not keeping resolutions
第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Crowd control could soon become an important skill for climbers on Mount Everest, as important as
physical strength or watching the weather. In a single day last week, nearly 40 people reached the top of the
world — a record. Reports from base camp spoke of queues at dangerous ridges and crowds as people
passed each other in the final dash for the 8,848 meters top.
More traditional mountaineers have been concerned about the circus atmosphere surrounding Everest in
recent years, and there are warnings that the crowds are making the mountain more dangerous. In 1996, 14
died on the mountain when the members of several groups were trapped at high altitudes by sudden
snowstorms. Bad weather in early May led to this year’s jam on the summit ridge, but the loss, luckily, was
light. Just four climbers died, including a Nepali Sherpa who had made 11 previous successful climbing.
Traditionalists are also worried about the growing tendency of climbers to set records and achieve
“firsts”, rather than simply climb the mountain. This year’s crop of mountaineers included the oldest man,
64-year-old Sherman Bull from Connecticut, and the youngest, 16-year-old Temba Tsheri Sherpa of Nepal.
An American with only one arm was on the mountain this year; an Indian with no legs also tried but failed.
Erik Weihennieyer, an American, became the first blind person to reach the top of the world. His fellow
climbers stayed in front of him on the way up, describing the type of land and ringing bells.
Nepal views Mount Everest as something of a cash cow. The government charges journeys a minimum
of $70,000. That is probably why officials in Katmandu are ignoring concerns about overcrowding and
talking about even more climbers coming next year. But a celebration of the 48th anniversary of the first
conquest of Everest, by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, was cancelled after violent strikes.Tumultuous (动乱的) Nepali politics, it seems, could be just the crowd-control measure that Everest needs.
40．According to the author, what skills are important for climbers on Mount Everest?
41．What are traditional mountaineers worried about?
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
●The Nepal government cares little about the overcrowding problem because of its internal tumultuous
politics.
43．Do you think it is a good idea to limit the number of visitors to a tourist attraction? Why?
