第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40分）
第一节（共 15 小题；每小题2 分，满分 30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
This is the time when we start thinking of travel plans for the coming holiday. Will we go back
to our old favorites? Try somewhere new? The following list will give you fresh ideas of where to
stay.
Matca, Transylvania (Romania)
Matca, which means “queen bee” in Romanian, is a nickname for the hotel. Transylvania’s rural
landscapes have long been a favorite of those in the know — the UK’s royal family has a house two
hours north — and hilltop Matca renews its 16 rooms with the spirit of Romanian traditions, from
hand carved beds to traditional carpets over the floorboard. Expected to be open in March.
Maria, Helsinki (Finland)
The Maria has been the first choice for Helsinki travelers since it met the public last month, with
its “spa suites” plus private saunas（桑拿）or steam rooms. The hotel sits across four protected
buildings dating back to 1885, and as such the look is modern classic, with plenty of copper and iron
gray and big windows to let as much of that light as possible into the supersized rooms.

Casa Lucia, Buenos Aires (Argentina)
Though Argentina looks set to be entering a period of financial uncertainty in 2024, this new
Buenos Aires hotel is looking for new ideas by turning to the city’s golden age a century ago. Featuring
“royal suites” and opening soon in April in the Edificio Mihanovich, a skyscraper in the Retiro district,
the Casa Lucia is an upgraded version of the former Sofitel.
The Leinster, Dublin (Ireland)
For all too long, there’s only been room for one famous hotel on Dublin’s Merrion Square. The
Leinster is about to change that. Opening next month, it’s bringing an almost Kit Kemp style of
boutique chic（精品时尚）to the historic square, with lively patterned headboards brightening the
modern rooms. The other hotel on the square — The Merrion — had better look to its laurels.
21. Which hotel is already receiving guests?
A. Matca. B. Maria. C. Casa Lucia. D. The Leinster.
22. What do Matca and Casa Lucia have in common?
A. They face financial uncertainties. B. They draw inspiration from the past.
C. They are famous among royal families. D. They are single buildings in rural areas.
23. What does the underlined phrase “look to its laurels” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Stay calm and optimistic. B. Stick to the original look.
C. Try not to lose its advantage. D. Look up to the newcomer.
B
It’s said that you can tell a lot about a person by looking at what’s on their bookshelves. What do
my bookshelves say about me? Well, I’d always thought of myself as a cultured person, but my
bookshelves told a rather different story.
So, in October 2011, I registered my blog, ayearofreadingtheworld.com, and posted a short appeal
online. I explained how narrow my reading had been and asked anyone who cared to suggest what I
read from other parts of the planet. I had no idea whether anyone would be interested, but within a few
hours, people started to get in touch.
Books came from surprising sources. My Panamanian read, for example, came through a
conversation I had with the Panama Canal on Twitter, which advised I try the work of the Panamanian
author Juan David Morgan. I found Morgan’s website and sent him a message, asking if any of his
Spanish-language novels had been translated into English. And he said nothing had been published,
but he did have an unpublished translation of his novel “The Golden Horse”, and he emailed it to me.
Morgan was by no means the only wordsmith to share his work with me in this way. From
Sweden to Palau, writers and translators sent me self-published books and unpublished manuscripts
（手稿）of books that hadn’t been picked up by Anglophone publishers or that were no longer
available, giving me privileged glimpses（初步的感受）of some remarkable imaginary worlds.
The books I read that year have opened my eyes to many things. That can be an uncomfortable
experience, particularly when I’m reading a book from a culture that may have quite different values
to my own. But it can also be really enlightening. Wrestling with unfamiliar ideas can help clarify my
own thinking and show up blind spots in the way I might have been looking at the world.
When I looked back at much of the English-language literature I’d grown up with, I began to see
how narrow a lot of it was, compared to the richness that the world has to offer. Little by little, that
long list of countries that I’d started the year with changed from a rather dry, academic register of
place names into living, breathing entities.
24. Why did the author create the blog “A Year of Reading the World”?
A. To learn from others’ bookshelves. B. To broaden her cultural horizons.
第 3页 / 共8页 命题人/审题人：涂鸣、刘艳、彭德河、易力敏、王建英
C. To get recommendations from readers. D. To find out the literary works she lacked.
25. What did the author think of the responses from writers and translators?
A. They presented a challenge to the author.
B. They blocked the author’s reading journey.
C. They offered unique access to literary worlds.
D. They inspired confidence in the author’s project.
26. How does reading diverse cultural books benefit the author?
A. Provide her with unfamiliar topics.
B. Make her absorbed in other cultures.
C. Show fields she needs to learn more about.
D. Reveal areas she lacks insight in her worldview.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Exploring the Global Literary Landscape B. The Challenge of Reading the World
C. Uncovering Stories from Every Country D. The Impact of Culture on the Worldview
C
We all have people who don’t like us and don’t give us the time of day. Many of them have
shown superiority or talked down to us, have criticized us, or have hurt us in a deep way. Why, then,
are they the first people we want to tell when we accomplish something big? Or when something good
happens in our lives? “A-ha!” we think, “See? I am valuable and worthy. You were wrong about me.
Look at me now.”
It all gets back to our wiring（脑回路）. Our brain prioritizes survival first and everything else
second. It creates an inner stream of survival-based thoughts from “Am I good / smart / pretty enough?”
to “I really need a snack,” using an automatic thought network called the default（默认）mode
network (DMN). The DMN scans the environment for potential threats and focuses on data that
suggests we are unsafe. The people who love and support us give us positive feedback. Those
comments don’t capture the DMN’s interest. The person who criticizes us? Now he or she has the
DMN’s attention. The one who totally rejects us? Let’s get the popcorn.
Think about how polite we are to people we don’t like. We are so used to performing social graces
that we often dismiss positive feedback coming back to us as courtesy（礼貌）, not truth. Negative
feedback, on the other hand, can feel like we’re finally hearing what people think. We tend to grasp
onto it as some higher truth about who we are and what we should be doing differently when, in reality,
it probably has nothing to do with us.
People who criticize or blame others often have an overactive DMN that tells them they are doing
everything wrong. When they criticize us, they are revealing the negative thoughts and beliefs that
consume their own minds. Their DMNs are convinced that they are unsafe in this world, and they are
going to spread that unhappiness to anyone and everyone around them.
So it’s time to kick the annoying people off the soapboxes in our mind. We have nothing to prove
to them. And it’s time to embrace positive feedback from the ones we love, and who love us. They’re
not being polite; they’re being honest. Give our DMN a reality check on how great we actually are.
28. What really causes us to share accomplishments with critics first?
A. The urge to fight back. B. The desire to prove our worth.
C. The need to regain confidence. D. The DMN activated by criticism.
29. What does the author mean by “Let’s get the popcorn.” in Paragraph 2?
A. We feel offended and lose interest.
B. We turn our attention to other things.
第 4页 / 共8页 命题人/审题人：涂鸣、刘艳、彭德河、易力敏、王建英
C. We need a snack to comfort ourselves.
D. We expect something dramatic to happen.
30. What does the article suggest about negative and positive feedback?
A. Negative feedback is attention-grabbing and honest.
B. Negative feedback actually reflects our lack of security.
C. Positive feedback is less readily accepted by the brain.
D. Positive feedback is less genuine and easily overlooked.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Embracing positive feedback. B. Understanding DMN’s secret.
C. The impact of negative feedback. D. The importance of self-confidence.
D
Meet Retro, a cloned rhesus monkey born on July 16, 2020. He is now more than 3 years old and
is “doing well and growing strong,” according to Falong Lu, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of
Sciences, who published a study in the journal Nature Communications that describes how Retro came
to be.
Retro is only the second species of primate（灵长类动物）that scientists have been able to
clone successfully. The same team of researchers announced in 2018 that they had made two cloned
cynomolgus monkeys, which are still alive today. “We have achieved the first live and healthy cloned
rhesus monkey, which is a big step forward, although the efficiency is very low compared to fertilized
embryos（受精胚胎）,” said Lu. “Currently, we haven’t had the second live birth yet.”
The first animal to be cloned — Dolly the sheep — was created in 1996 using a technique called
SCNT, where scientists essentially reconstruct an unfertilized egg by joining a somatic cell nucleus
（体细胞核）with an egg in which the nucleus has been removed. The Chinese team improved the
technique further to clone the rhesus monkey.
During hundreds of failed cloning attempts, they realized that, in the early cloned embryos, the
outer part did not develop properly. To address this problem, they performed a process called inner
cell mass transplantation, which involved putting cloned inner cells into a non-cloned embryo, and
that allowed the clone to develop normally. “We think that there might be additional… abnormalities
to be fixed. Strategies to further enhance the success rate of SCNT in primates remains … our main
focus in the future,” Lu said.
The researchers said that being able to successfully clone monkeys might help accelerate
biomedical research given that there are limitations on what scientists can learn from lab mice.
Research on nonhuman primates, which are closer to humans, has been crucial for lifesaving medical
advances, including the creation of medicines against Covid-19, according to a report by National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine.
32. What can be learned about Retro?
A. It is the second live cloned rhesus monkey.
B. It represents a major scientific breakthrough.
C. It is a cloned monkey from a fertilized embryo.
D. It has outlived the cloned cynomolgus monkeys.
33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The purpose. B. The process. C. The difficulty. D. The method.
34. How did scientists address the problem from failed attempts?
A. Give the clone space to grow. B. Fix additional abnormalities.
C. Change a non-cloned embryo. D. Help inner cells develop properly.

35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To present the recent progress in cloning.
B. To reveal challenges in cloning monkeys.
C. To call for research on nonhuman primates.
D. To stress the importance of medical advances.

Tips to help you overcome people-pleasing
Considering other people’s feelings and treating them with kindness is something we strive to
do.
36 When this happens, people-pleasing has crossed the line from kind and generous to self-
abandonment — not being the authentic self because we’re afraid others will disapprove, criticize, or
reject us. Here are tips for you to overcome such behaviors.
37
Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury. It’s not something you do if you have time or if you deserve
it. Taking care of your emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical needs keeps you healthy. Without it,
you’ll get sick, stressed, and irritable. Try putting self-care activities (exercise, socializing, hobbies,
etc.) on your calendar to ensure that self-care is a priority.
Not everyone’s opinion matters.
One big mistake people-pleasers make is acting as if everyone’s opinion matters equally. You
don’t differentiate whose opinion matters more. Generally, the closer the relationship, the more you’ll
value their opinion and want to please them. Thus, it’s natural to want to do things to make your loved
ones happy. 38
Healthy conflict can improve relationships.
Most people worry that painful conflicts will destroy relationships. 39 But it’s not helpful
or possible. When you avoid conflict, you suppress your feelings and needs. And this causes you to
disconnect from yourself and from others. But healthy conflict is the one in which both parties can
respectfully express themselves. 40 This is quite different from the unhealthy conflicts.
A. Be aware of your inner needs.
B. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish.
C. This indicates that we’re People-Pleasers.
D. It’s understandable and common to want to avoid them.
E. But sacrificing our wellbeing to make others happy is not.
F. However, you don’t need to please acquaintances in the same way.
G. It results in greater understanding and ultimately strengthens the relationship.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning. I’m Li Hua, chairman of the Students’ Union. It is my great honor to deliver a
speech today on this momentous occasion of our coming-of-age ceremony.
The coming-of-age ceremony holds great significance as it marks our transition from
adolescence to adulthood. It is the beginning of a new chapter that symbolizes our readiness to take
on greater responsibilities and face the challenges that come with maturity. This ceremony serves
as a reminder of the values and virtues we should uphold as we step into the next phase of our lives.
As we embark on this new journey, I hope that we will continue to demonstrate resilience,
compassion, and integrity. I am confident that with the knowledge and wisdom we have gained, we
will rise to the challenges that lie ahead and emerge as responsible, empathetic, and successful
individuals.
Thank you for your listening!
