The European Patent Office (EPO) on 4th July 2023 announced that Maasai inventor,
Richard Turere, won first place in the Young Inventor Prize at the European Inventor Award 2023.
Turere invented the Lion Lights system at age 11. As a young Maasai boy, Turere was
entrusted with the vital responsibility of protecting his family’s cattle from predators (捕食者). He
recognised the need for a solution to prevent lions and other predators from attacking livestock (牲
畜), which led him to develop the innovative light system that has since gained global recognition.
Lion population in Africa is estimated to have declined by 43% in the past 20 years. Many
lions are killed to stop them from eating precious livestock, significantly impacting the lion
population, the area’s biodiversity and tourism. Known as Lion Lights, Turere’s invention is based
on a simple concept: visually reproducing the human presence that keeps lions away. With
changing sequences (序列) of flashing lights which are fixed on fences, the lions cannot become
comfortable with the patterns and are discouraged from hunting livestock.
As word of Turere’s technology and its success spread, other community members began
requesting the system for their properties, and now over 2,000 homes in Kenya use Lion Lights.
The system typically runs on solar energy but can also be coupled with wind power when the
weather is cloudy or there is little sun.
3
{#{QQABKQQQggioABJAABhCAQk6CAIQkBACACoGxEAMMAAAwRFABAA=}#}
In 2013, Turere founded the Lion Lights organization, which now cooperates with more than
50 young people in his native village. Turere’s commitment and resourcefulness have attracted
international attention. His invention has been adopted in several other countries. “I want this
story to inspire the young kids so that they too can do something.
24. What motivates Turere to invent Lion Lights?
A．To win an award. B．To protect livestock.
C．To maintain lion population. D．To shoulder family responsibility.
25. How does the Lion Lights system work?
A．It controls electric fences to trap lions.
B．It operates on a single energy source.
C．It patterns the human existence using lights.
D．It uses strong flashing lights to scare lions away.
26. Which of the following best describes Turere?
A．Creative and devoted. B．Intelligent and modest.
C．Brave and disciplined. D．Ambitious and outgoing.
27. In which column can the text be found in a newspaper?
A．Profiles. B．Entertainment. C．Health. D．Adventure.

In the late 1990s, a scientist named Mark Blumberg stood in a lab at the University of Iowa
watching a few sleeping newlyborn rats. He found that the baby rats kept making small, sharp
movements in their sleep, and that their closed eyes moved from side to side in a phenomenon
known as rapid eye movement (REM). Blumberg knew that the rats were fine, because he knew
people do the same during REM sleep. And scientists have long had an explanation for the
twitches (抽动) and REM: They are dreaming about their waking life.
However, as he dug deeper, he wondered why adult rats spend only about two hours of each
night in REM sleep, while baby rats spend an unusual amount of time in REM, often sleeping for
sixteen hours a day and dreaming for eight.
“If dreams are hints of waking life, adult rats who have more experiences should spend more
time in REM sleep. Why do baby rats, whose eyes are still shut, spend so much time in REM sleep
when they have too little to dream about?” he wondered. “Why do their eyes, their legs, tails and
whiskers move hundreds of thousands of times during their sleep?”
In the end, Blumberg concluded that it might be the other way around — perhaps the
movements were sending signals to the brain to help it learn about the body.
“You wouldn’t think that the body is something a brain needs to learn,” he wrote in a paper.
“But we aren’t born with maps of our bodies. We can’t be, because our bodies change by the day.
But in waking life, we cannot move only a single muscle. Even the simplest act of swallowing (吞
咽) employs more than thirty pairs of nerves and muscles working together. Our small and sharp
movements in sleep, by contrast, are exact and precise: They involve muscles one at a time. In
other words, such movements allow the muscles and nerves to form one-to-one connections that
otherwise would be impossible. It’s a process that’s most important for the brain to learn about the
body as we grow, suffer injuries and learn new skills.
28. What was the previous explanation for REM?
A．It was just an outward sign of dreams.
B．It showed the difficulty in sleeping.
4
{#{QQABKQQQggioABJAABhCAQk6CAIQkBACACoGxEAMMAAAwRFABAA=}#}
C．It was an indicator of terrible dreams.
D．It only occurred to sleeping baby rats.
29. What can be learned from paragraph 2?
A．Baby rats have to spend all night in REM sleep.
B．REM sleep just accounts for part of the sleeping time.
C．It is unnecessary for baby rats to sleep 16 hours a day.
D．It is not enough for adults to have two hours of REM sleep.
30. What is a feature of the movements in REM sleep according to Mark Blumberg?
A．They teach the brain new skills and heal injuries.
B．Muscles have to work together to start the movements.
C．Each of them just involves a muscle and a nerve at a time.
D．They are less exact and precise than our daily movements.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A．The importance of REM sleep.
B．The latest discoveries about dreaming.
C．The relationship between dreams and waking life.
D．A different explanation for the twitches during sleep.

Joyce LeMay is an associate professor of business at Bethel University. She said that college
seniors are always amazed by how much work goes into finding a job. “Many college seniors have
great resumes (简历) from internships and other part- or full-time jobs. But they are surprised by
how long the interviewing process takes,” Many even become discouraged when they are rejected
for a role, too. However, there are a lot of ways to increase your chances of finding the perfect
role.
“Don’t just look for jobs online,” said LeMay. “Although it’s easy to find jobs on the internet,
over 85 percent of job seekers are also looking at the same jobs.” “Hundreds of people can apply
for each position and employers get inundated with responses,” she said. If you do find a job
online, LeMay recommends first looking within your own contacts. “It’s good to find out if you
have someone in your network that could help you get connected,” she said.
LeMay also advises writing a separate application for each role. “Your resume needs to stand
out from your competition and the best way to do that is to customize (定制) it to the specific job
you are applying for,” said LeMay. In the experience section, be sure to highlight
accomplishments that match the job description. This will show a future employer that you’re
qualified for the role.
A job search can take three to six months or longer, so don’t take rejection personally. You
will not get a job offer from every interview, but don’t let that affect your confidence. It’s
important to keep trying. “Many college graduates have their hopes set on one or two companies
and when the job doesn’t come through they are devastated (难以承受),” said LeMay. “Keep your
mind and your options open— there are many incredible career opportunities you haven’t heard of
yet.”
32. What does Joyce LeMay mainly talk about?
A．Job rejection is common and frustrating.
B．College seniors prepare their resumes well.
C．College seniors needn’t get frustrated in job rejection.
5
{#{QQABKQQQggioABJAABhCAQk6CAIQkBACACoGxEAMMAAAwRFABAA=}#}
D．Job interviews consume too much energy.
33. What does the underlined word “inundated” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．charged. B．flooded C．trapped D．equipped.
34. Why does LeMay encourage college graduates to keep trying?
A．The incredible jobs are always there.
B．Hunting a job helps improve abilities.
C．Each interview guarantees a job offer.
D．A positive mind ensures a good interview,
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．How can you avoid frustration in job hunt?
B．Why should you make resumes stand out?
C．Why should you keep your options open?
D．How can you find your perfect jobs?

选项。
Fragile. Oversensitive. Glued to their phones. 36 While there may be some truth to
these stereotypical (刻板印象的) features, there might be more to this generation of teens than
what is generally observed.
Never before have the lives of any generation of teens been as flooded with mobile
technology and social media as the teens of this generation. 37 This is in contrast to the
more village spirit or community-oriented attitude of their parents’and grandparents’days. We
have teens who may not know about who lives in the unit next to theirs, much less offer a friendly
nod or wave when they happen to cross paths with a neighbor.
38 The very connectedness that social media brings about has led to an opening of
minds and a flourishing (繁盛) of dialogue among people of diverse cultures and backgrounds.
Logging onto platforms where people of all walks of life meet means that one is exposed to those
people and their distinctive ways of life. In comparison, the parents or grandparents of this
generation of teens probably did not have the same opportunity to get to know people outside of
their social circles at their age, and are thus more likely to have fixed, stereotypical opinions of
people different from them. This generation of teens, on the other hand, has the chance to use this
technology to learn more about and attempt to understand the variety and diversity out there.
39
To conclude, the teens of this generation differ in many ways from their predecessors (前辈),
in some ways more positive than others. 40 Therefore, this generation of teens differs from
past generations, with the changes around them.
A. No wonder the self-confidence and mental health of teens have been damaged.
B. Yet, the effects of technology on this generation of teens are not all bad.
C. Is this what comes to mind when we think of the teens of this generation?
D. Their parents or grandparents were likely less connected and more isolated.
E. Moreover, in the older generations’mind, the teens today are more individualistic.
F. As a result, this might be why the teens today are more open-minded and progressive.
G. Every generation is a product of the cultural, political and economic events of their time.

For thousands of years, people have told fables (寓言) 56 (teach) a lesson or to pass on
wisdom. Fables were part of the oral tradition of many early cultures, and the well-known Aesop's
fables date to the 57 (six) century B. C. Yet, the form of the fable still has values
today, 58 Rachel Carson says in A Fable for Tomorrow.
Carson uses a simple, direct style common to fable. In fact, her style and tone (口吻) are
seemingly directed at children. There was once a town in the heart of America, 59 all life
seemed to enjoy peaceful existence with its surroundings, her fable begins, 60 (borrow) some
familiar words from many age-old fables. Behind the simple style, however, is a serious
message 61 (intend) for everyone.
62 (difference) from traditional fables, Carson's story ends with an accusation instead of a
moral. She warns of the environmental dangers facing society, and she teaches that people must
take responsibility 63 saving their environment.
The themes of traditional fables often deal with simple truths about everyday life. However,
Carson's theme is a more weighty 64 (warn) about environmental destruction. Carson proves
that a simple lyric form that has been passed down through the ages can still 65 (employ)
today to draw attention to important truths.

The handiwork( 手 工 ) class was over. Karl was delighted that he had created a satisfying
work. So he walked to the back of the classroom to put his work away carefully. There, lying on
the floor beside the classroom bookcase, was a golden ticket! Karl picked it up. His heart beat
faster when he saw that the name line was blank(空白的). He couldn't believe his luck!
The boys and girls in Karl's class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their study or by
being extra helpful or kind. Once a week their teacher drew the tickets out of a box on her desk
and let the winner choose a prize.
Today was the golden ticket drawing, and here was another ticket, just for him! Karl looked
around. No one else was near the ticket. All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and
talking with each other. Miss Evans was engaged in grading the papers collected earlier in the
morning.
Karl decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the box with the
8
{#{QQABKQQQggioABJAABhCAQk6CAIQkBACACoGxEAMMAAAwRFABAA=}#}
six tickets he'd already earned. With so many tickets, he would most probably be the winner! Then
he could choose the pink toy pig for his sister's birthday, just like he had been hoping.
He smiled and reached for the pencil. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange
feeling in his chest, and it wasn't his heartbeat. “Finders are keepers, right?” he wondered. He
looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. On the one hand, he did find the ticket, but he
hadn't earned it. Somebody must have lost it. But on the other hand, he did need this extra ticket
for his great plan!

Dear John,
How is it going with you? I'm happy to have received your email in which you showed
great concern about my study and my plan for the coming winter holiday. Now I'd like to share
them with you.
This term has witnessed great progress in my study. First of all, I have greatly improved my
English. Not only have I reviewed all the new words required in examinations but also I have a
better knowledge of English grammar. In addition, success in examinations
has made me more confident than before, which is more important than the results of
examinations.
As for my holiday plan, I will firstly celebrate the Spring Festival with my family and friends.
Besides, I will try my best to make full use of the valuable time. After all, it will be only five
months before I take gaokao, which is so important for my future that I must make every effort to
get ready for it.
Thank you very much for your concern. Best wishes!

Karl looked at the blan k name line for a moment. He knew his plan wouldn't be so great if he
won with a ticket that didn't belong to him. So he walked up to his teacher. “Miss Evans, I
happened to find this ticket on the floor near the bookcase. I think the one who lost it will look for
it. And these are mine,” he said, dropping his six tickets into the box. When he turned around to
leave, the teacher stopped him.
“Karl, I intend to give you another ticket!” Miss Evans said. Karl was amazed and wondered
why. Miss Evans smiled and signed to the class to quiet down, “Karl handed in the golden ticket
he had just found. I think he is honest and deserves another one!” The class burst into loud
applause. Karl happily went back to his seat, eagerly expecting the golden ticket drawing. He still
wanted his name to be picked, but he would feel OK even if it wasn't. After all, making the right
