They have prana life force, so you have to pay full attention to them, rather than 34 your own ideas of beauty on them. So I began to ask the flowers how they wanted to be 35 and what positioning would make:them:36 most beautiful. I waited and listened.Even after the flowers had been 37 in the vase, I would discover sometimes that in the morning they had rearranged themselves during the night. Even if they were secured in the 38，they always seemed to be silently straining（尽力）to find their 39 place．At the same time, they were not 40 independent; they needed loving care. They were dependent on me, or whomever their 41wasfor the day, to water them. Watching other people spraying water on the arrangements sometimes, I would feel so 42 by the scene. Small drops of water on the flowers touched the source of life and nourished the heart of beauty.This experience made me feel how 43 i could be, if our minds are set in the right way to water not only plants, but 44,to treat all frying creatures in a way that 45 them their right to be beautiful, in their own 46 and time.What we came to notice was that flowers could also 47 Our teacher urged us to always 48 the flowers when we passed how beautiful they were and to thank them for sharing that 49 with us.When we made our arrangements with this kind of 50,we found that the flowers remained beautiful and fresh for many more days than expected.31.A.difference32.A.actually33.A.ways34.A.pouring35.A.covered36.A.prove37.A.put38.A.garden39.A.first40.A.fully41.A.performer42.A.amazed43.A.simple44.A.flowers45.A.allows46.A.direction47.A.shake48.A.prove49.A.beauty50.A.talentB.conflictB.hardlyB.goalsB.focusingB.arrangedB.growB.cutB.vaseB.rightB.apparentlyB.babysitterB.movedB.funnyB.animalsB.conveysB.spaceB.listenB.selectB.secretB.poticyC.barrierC.brieflyC,levelsC.relyingC.deliveredC.feelC.broughtCacaveC.formerC.mentallyC.neighborC.anxious.C.complexC.grassesC.promtisesC.energyC.breatheC.imagineC.messageC.devotionD.connectionD.mildlyD.measuresD.forcingD.wrappedD.smellD.handedD,wallD.equalD.firmlyD.caretakerD.curiousD.foolishD.humansD.passesD.shapeD.informD.rmindD.treasureD.technique第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）ACambridge Open Days-July and September 2023Join us on Sept 15,2023 for our next undergraduate Open Day.Cambridge Open Days are aimed at potential applicants from Year 12 and 13 and mature applicants (aged 21 or over), together with their parents or supporters, to help them learn more about the University.The Open Day in September will be a smaller in-person Open Day, focused on the Colleges with many Colleges open for activities such as tours, talks and drop-in sessions.

On September 20thBIt probably was not easy to translate the tough talks at the high-level meeting between the U.S. and China in Anchorage. Chinese female translator Zhang Jing became an online hit in China for remaining unflustered（从容不迫的），graceful，and accurate.One video of the first session of the diplomatic talks shows how Yang Jiechi starts his response to the American side at 8.30 minutes, going on until the 24.36-minute mark. Next to him, interpreter Zhang Jing is fiercely taking notes. When Yang finishes speaking, he glances to foreign minister Wang Yi on his right to let him speak, after which Zhang says, “Shall I first translate?” While the U.S. side was awaiting the translation, Yang then says: “Ok, you translate,” adding in English: “It's a test for the interpreter,” after which the American side says “We're gonna give the translator a raise!” Zhang then goes ahead and calmly translates Yang's entire 15-minute speech.To give a speedy translation of such a lengthy off-the-record speech is seen as a sign of Zhang's utmost professionalism as an interpreter, which many on Weibo praise. “She's my idol,” multiple people write.On Sunday, the hashtag China-U.S. Talks Female Interpreter Zhang Jing” had reached 200 million views, but it is not the first time for Zhang, who was previously called “the most beautiful interpreter of the National Congress in 2013.Being an interpreter is generally regarded an exciting and attractive job by many netizens, as the career involves much traveling and international contacts. But the abilityto master another language than Chinese is also often admired.“Translators are usually the 'heroes behind the scenes’, “one commenter writes, pointing out how rare it is for an interpreter to hit the limelight（聚光灯）like this.“There are still people saying it's not important to learn English,” another Weibo user writes: But if that were true, how could we educate brilliant interpreters like her? How else could we quarrel with Americans at the conference table?!”Many who write about Zhang on Weibo say that she is an example or a role model to them: “I hope that my spoken English one day would be as excellent as hers. This motivates me to try even harder.”56.We can infer that during the first session of the talk,A.Zhang Jing seemed fierce because of Yang Jiechi's long talkB.Zhang Jing wrote down fierce words in response to the US sideC. it was beyond Zhang Jing's ability to follow Yang JiechiD. Zhang Jing concentrated on translating in an intense atmosphere.57.What does the underlined “it in the fourth paragraph refer to?A.Zhang Jing was called “the most beautiful interpreter”.B.Zhang Jing became an online hit several years ago.C.Zhang Jing interpreted for the China-U.S. diplomatic talk.D.Zhang Jing gave a speedy translation of a long speech.58.Why did the American side say “We're gonna give the translator a raise!A.Because the American side wanted to employ Zhang Jing due to her talent.B. Because the American side thought Zhang Jing got a low salary.C.Because the American side considered Zhang Jing's job quite tough.D.Because it was impossible for Zhang Jing to assume the task except by a pay rise.59. Zhang Jing is taken as a good example ofA.quarrelling with the American sidesB.enjoying an exciting and attractive jobC.showing the significance of learning English wellD.stressing the importance of educating brilliant interpreters60.Where does the passage least possibly taken from?A.Science report.C.Wechat official account.B.The Internet.D.Newspaper.CAs people are becoming more socially conscious about where their food comes from and how it impacts the planet, they are choosing animal-free plant-based options. Cow-freemeat has been around for quite some time and the popularity of brands like Beyond Meat and cultivated meat from Aleph Farms and others are soaring. While there are a large number of plant-based milk substitutes, none of them have the same taste of cow's milk. Now, an Israeli food-tech startup Remilk created real dairy products without harming a single cow or the planet.The company stresses that their product Remilk is not a milk substitute but rather is the real deal. Made from a special process called microbial fermentation（微生物发酵）， milk is manufactured in a lab instead of in a cow. And the end product is very healthy. “In a very simple way, we take the gene that encodes for the milk protein,” said Aviv Wolff, CEO of Remilk.The gene functions as an instruction book for the production of the protein it encodes. And so, we insert the gene into a microbe that we've developed and it instructs our microbe to produce the specific protein in a very efficient way.”The company says that the lab-produced milk tastes identical to the real thing and they hope to eventually replace cows by creating every dairy product sold. They expect to roll out plant-based cheese and yogurt in addition to milk. “Remilk was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce our food because, as dairy lovers, we realize that giving up on milk is not an option,” Wolff said. “But today's milk comes with an unreasonable price tag. The dairy industry is destructive to our planet, our health, and our animals, and is simply not sustainable anymore.”The environmental price tag of dairy farming is way too high. According to the World Wildlife Fund, dairy cows add a huge amount of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change as well as foul the air around them. Dairy operations consume large amounts of water and run-off of manure（粪肥）and fertilizers from these farms get into local waterways. The production of Remilk uses only 5 percent of the resources and produces only 1 percent of the waste of producing cow's milk according to the company. And they accomplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms.61.What distinguishes Remilk from other milk substitutes?A. It enjoys broad popularity.C. It comes in various flavours.B.It has the highest output.D.It tastes the same as cow's milk.62.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The production of Remilk.C.The role of gene in making protein.B.The nutritional value of Remilk.D.The process of microbial fermentation.63.What can we know from Wolff's words in paragraph 3?A.Remilk was set up for animal protection.B.Dairy industries should be shut down.C. Remilk aims to produce animal-free food.D.Prices of cow's milk are soaring these days.64.What does the underlined word “foul” probably mean in the last paragraph?A.Clean.B.Heat.C.Pollute.D.Consume.65.What can we infer from the passage?A.Drawing on gene technology, Remilk has developed a variety of dairy products.B.Conventional dairy industry is anything but eco-friendly.C.The new technology adopted by Remilk transforms the gene of cows.D.It'll be some time before the public get accustomed to the milk substitutes.DWhen plates are set on the table, phones, rather than forks, are at the ready. At this point in our social media entanglement（纠缠），the fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given. Sure, some chefs, including Michelin rated star chefs, express their displeasure at this, but efforts to make the table a screen-free domain have mostly fallen flat.New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced by the food photos that their friends post on social media. For example, for every serving of fruits and vegetables that a person thinks their friends are eating, they’ll eat one-fifth of a serving more. This number makes more sense within the context of the recommended “five a day”, meaning someone who's being influenced would make a point of eating six portions of fruits or vegetables. Similarly, for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends consuming on social media, they'll eat an extra one.The researchers have suggested that social media can be very beneficial when it comes to people's choices of food and their diets. Study supervisors Dr. Jason Thomas said, “The implication is that we can use social media as a tool to encourage each other's eating choice within friendship groups, and use this knowledge as a tool for public health interventions.”Actually, the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else posted on social media. People also desire to copy what they see but they need good social media literacy skills in order to grasp what's realistic and what's absurd. It is necessary to avoid the fake perfection of social media.It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day, week after week, so no wonder people want to take the path of least resistance and eat what their friends are eating. Unfortunately, most of what gets posted is the more time-consuming recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals. By all means， keep your antennae（触角）out for new ideas, but gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family.66.What phenomenon is talked about in Par.1?A. The influence of social media on people's diet.B. People's taking photos of food before eating.C.Chefs' efforts to make the table screen-free.D.The pursuit of dining in fancy restaurant.67.What's the consequence of people's seeing their friends’ online post?A.They'll copy what their friends do.B. They'il take junk food more seriously.C. They'll consume more than their friends.D. They'll care more about their friends’ eating habits.68.What's Dr. Jason Thomas's attitude towards social media?A.Positive.B.Doubtful.C.Concerned.D.Unclear.69.What might people referring to others' diets be advised to do?A. Form their own diet styles.B. Find the similarities among others' diets.C. Avoid aiming for perfection in daily meals.D. Enhance their critical thinking and skepticism.70.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A. Point out the unreality of social media.B.Call on people to enrich their knowledge in cooking.C.Introduce the general classification of food posted online.D. Encourage people to broaden their sources of food inspiration.第II卷 主观题（共35分）第四部分：写作（满分35分）第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness discloses the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don't get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me，horning（按喇叭）or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more hors!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way.But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don't pretend, we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.71.When will people feel happy as the author has discovered ? (No more than 7 words)72.Why does the author feel sad sometimes in Paragraph 2? (No more than 12 words)73.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights? (No more than 6 words)74.What does the underlined the sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?(No more than 5 words)75.What can we learn from the author's experience? (No more than 20 words)第二节：书面表达．（满分25分）76．假设你是晨光中学高三学生李津。你校篮球队应邀去英国一所中学参加中学生篮球友谊赛。请你给该校的联系人 Mr.Longman 写一封咨询邮件，要点如下：（1）接受邀请，表示感谢；关注天津考生下载更多资料；（2）询问情况（食宿、交通、场地等）；（3）提出需求（如赛前准备、医疗保障等）。注意：（1）词数不少于100；（2）可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；（3）开头和结尾已写好，不计入总词数。Dear Mr.Longman, Yours, Li Jin
