阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Every day people joined archaeologists and artists in finding some of the year s most dramatic
discoveries.Below are some examples of 2023.
“Naughty pupils”-ancienf punishment method resurfaces
Archaeologists discovered 18,000 ink-carved pieces of pottery-known
as“ostraca”—at the site of Athribis early this year,and among them were
hundreds of fragments(碎片)with a single symbol repeated front and back.
Those scribbles(潦草的文字)are evidence of'naughty pupilsbeing made to
write lines,according to researchers a Germany's University of Tuebingen.
The fragments also included receipts,school texts,trade information and lists
of names.
Van Gogh peers out in hidden portrait
There is one more known van Gogh's self-portrait in the world,and it was hidden behind a
painting of a peasant woman,People made the discovery when they took an X-ray of one of his
2
portraits from 1885 and discovered the artist's own image behind layers of cardboard and glue.
While X-rays often reveal how artists-changed their compositions,the full self-portrait of van
Gogh came as a huge surprise,who was known to reuse canvase(画布)to save money.
Another treasure collection from Sanxingdui
The Sanxingdui archaeological site has produced thousands of relics.The lates discovery,
reported by Chinese state media in June includes 3,155 objects,a turtle shell-shaped box and a
sacrificial altar among them,A team has been digging six places of the site,turning up more than
13,000 objects so far.Last year,the relics they uncovered included a golden mask,ivory
artifacts(手工艺品)and a jade knife.The Sanxingdui culture still remains mysterious,as it left
behind no written records or human remains,though many believe it to be part of the ancient
kingdom of Shu,which ruled along the upper stream of the Yangtze River until it was conquered
in 316 BC.
21.What led to the researchers'conclusion about the fragments?
A.The repeated symbol.B.Trade information.
C.Lists of pupils'names.D.The mark of ink.
22.Why did van Gogh hide his self-portrait in a painting?
A.To keep away from X-rays.
B.To save money.
C.To make his works more mysterious.
D.To help people find his composition.
23.Which is the newly-unearthed relic of 2023 in Sanxingdui site?
A.A jade knife. B.A golden mask.
C.A written record. D A turtle shell-shaped box.
B
Like so many other ABCs(American-born Chinese)and younger first and second-generation
Chinese immigrants(移民),sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung reached a point in their adult lives
when they started to long for the Chinese food they'd grown up on,but found it really difficult to
learn how to prepare it.There was such arepresentation gap,as Sarah puts it,in terms of what
kinds of cuisines were noticeably featured in those early days of TV celebrity chefs and the
emerging food blogosphere(博客圈).
As it turns out,though,the Leungs were uniquely positioned to do something about it.Bill,
the father,had spent years cooking beef at his family's Chinese American takeout restaurant.Judy,
the mom,was born and raised in Shanghai and had deep knowledge about traditional
Shanghainese cooking.Meanwhile,the two sisters had grown up in the New Jersey suburbs,
eating their parents'food,but also growing in America's own food-obsessed culture.
So,in 2013,the Leungs started The Woks of Life.What distinguished their blog from others
was that the intergenerational heritage(传承)of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was
baked right into the concept—The four family members took turns posting recipes,each sharing
their own favorites,tapping into their own areas of expert knowledge.
Kaitlin is proud that The Woks of Life follows along line of pioneers-folks like Joyce
Chen,Martin Yan and Ming Tsai,who first started to bring Chinese home cooking into the
mainstream in the US.“we feel proud that we have made a meaningful mark over the past decade,
casting light that there's a huge demand for these recipes,she says.It's about representation,
yes,but there's also a huge demand.Asian Americans look to reconnect with the food of their
3
heritage.”
Five years ago,you wouldn't have been able to find a ton of Chinese recipes in the New York
Times food section,Kaitlin notes.Now you can
24.What do the underlined words“representation gap”in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.The shortage of Chinese chefs.
B.The lack of Chinese food recipes.
C.The gap between young and old ABCs.
D.The difference between chefs and bloggers.
25.What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A.To prove how unique the Leung sisters are.
B.To show why the Leung sisters prefer Chinese food.
C.To point out the Leungs'advantage to start a food blog.
D.To stress the Leung sisters'love for home cooking food.
26.What makes The woks of Life special?
A.The concept of baking food.
B.The large number of followers.
C.The bloggers,way of posting recipes.
D.The intergenerational heritage of knowledge.
27.What is the significance of The woks of Life?
A.It strengthens bonds between individuals.
B.It marks the popularity of Chinese cuisine.

D.It links Asian Americans with their food tradition.

Every order of takeout comes with aside of single-use plastics and each plastic fork,knife,spoon
and straw—whether or not you wanted it or used it—ends up in the trash.
New research found that 139 million metric tons of single-use plastic waste was generated in
2021—six million metric tons more single-use plastics compared to2019.A hunger for takeout
meals during the pandemic contributed to the surge.
An estimated 60%of Americans order takeout or delivery at least once a week and online ordering
is growing 300%faster than in-house dining;that means millions of single-use plastic utensils(餐
具)are going out with every order.
New laws aim to address the problem.Some of the recent bills are thanks to The National Reuse
Network,part of the environmental nonprofit Upstream,which launched a national Skip the Stuff
campaign to work out policies that require restaurants to include single-use plastic utensils,
straws,and napkins only when customers request them.
The bills also require meal delivery and online apps like Uber Eats,GrubHub and Door Dash
to add single-use extras to their menus;customers can choose the items and quantities to have them
included in the order.Customers that don't order the single-use plastics won't receive them.
The goal of the bills is to reduce the 40 billion plastic utensils sent to the landfill(填埋场)
every year.
“Most of the time,people are taking food home or to their offices where there are reusable utensils
so these utensils wind up in a drawer or get thrown out,says Goldsmith.“Some people
do need utensils,but for the most part,they're not needed.
4
To date,Skip the Stuff bills have been passed in several cities,including
Denver,Washington,D.C.and Chicago.California and Washington state passed statewide bills that
make single-use plastic“accessories”available with takeout orders only upon request.
Organizations like upstream,Beyond plastics and NRDC have created toolkits to help
additional communities launch their own Skip the Stuff campaigns.
28.What does the underlined wordsurgein paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Strong panic B.Good solution.
C.Sharp increase.D.Great pressure
29.What can be done according to Skip the Stuff?
A.Selecting green products.
B.Providing utensils only on request.
C.Recycling and reusing some utensils.
D.Using identical products nationwide.
30.What is the aim of the newly passed bills?
A.To better serve customers.B.To reduce plastic waste.
C.To correct bad eating habits.D.To prevent illegal activities.
31.What is Goldsmith's attitude towards the Skip the Stuff campaign?
A.Concemed.B.Doubtful.C.Favorable.D.Unclear.
D
Crows(乌鸦)are undeniably intelligent.From making tools to holding hatred,crows have
been surprising the scientific community with their skillset.In fact,a study once published in the
journal Current Biology foundthe crow brain is the same relative size as the chimpanzee(大猩猩)
brain”
Now,a study published in Science Advances finds crows understand what is known as
recursion(递归).Prior to this study,recursion was believed to be unique to humans.
“We were interested in the ability to represent recursive structures—defined here as having
elements be put within other similar elements,Diana Liao said,who is the study's first author.
Liao says it was surprising to discover crows“were able to know the underlying recursive
structure of the ordersupon first exposure.This makes the birds similar to humans,who are able
to extract patterns with little experience.Recursion is thought to be a key feature of human
symbolic systems such as language or mathematics—and since these are thought to be unique to
humans—there's been interest in whether non-human animals can grasp and generate recursive
structures,”says Liao.
What exactly is recursion?Liao explains:“A classic example sentence is'the mouse the cat
caught ran'where the clause the cat caught'is within the clause'the mouse[who]ran'.These
complex structures are found in human languages but not in animal communication systems which
suggest that recursion might be what separates them.”
The findings of this study are significant since they show recursive ability in animals that are
not closely related to chimpanzees.“This suggests that this ability is either very evolutionarily(进
化)ancient or that is a product of convergent evolution,says Liao.“Also,it would propose that
certain brain structures are not necessary to support this ability since birds have a dramatically
different neural architecture.”
Liao says scientists know crows are smart but the extent of their intelligence is really
unexpected.“Everyone has the impression that crows are super smart but I simply didn't know
5
just how intelligent they are.”
32.What is the finding of the new study?
A.Crows can make tools.
B.Crows understand recursion.
C.Crows can create special patterns.
D.Crows and chimpanzees are of a brain size.
33.Which structure can show Crows'special ability?
A.I bought a book B.My book was missing.
C.The book I bought was missing.D.My book was missing and I bought one.
34.What impressed Diana Liao?
A.Crows'intelligence level.B.Crows'body structure.
C.The reason for Crows'smartness.D.people's impression of crows.
35.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Crows Are Humans'close Relatives
B.Crows Are Found the cleverest Bird
C.Crows Have the Ability to Learn to speak
D.Crows Have a Human-like Grammar skill

place or in the same rigid mindset!

Is Reading a Book Better than Listening to It?
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。
As I was leaving my fitness class one evening,my instructor called across the parking lot to
me.“Hey!Jane!It looks like your muffler(消音器)under your truck is hanging kind of low!”
Honestly speaking,I didn't like my instructor.The black birthmark on his face made him a little
ugly.I just nodded,waved and climbed into my truck.Yeah,whatever,I figured.You're the
instructor.Worry about keeping my weight low,not about my muffler being low.
Then I was driving home,singing along with the radio when suddenly I
heard:CLUNK!THUD!SCRAPE-RATTLE-RATTLE!At first,I thought it was part of the song,but
then I realized it was a sound I had never heard in this song.
I looked in my door mirror and saw sparks(火花)dancing along the road behind my truck.I pulled
off to the side of the road to have a look.
The muffler was fine as far as I could tell.However,the metal bracket(托架)that apparently held
the muffler up under the truck had broken loose,and the muffler was resting on the pavement.I
wasn't sure what had caused this to happen.
I decided the best idea was to pick up the muffler and hoped that,somehow,it would stick back on
8
the underside of my truck.Let me tell you,it's surprising how hot a muffler can get in just
a short drive.
Still blowing on my painful fingertips,I called my father and told him what was happening to
his truck.“Whatever you do,don't touch the muffler,he told me.“It will be very hot.”
“If you can wait,I will call the garage to repair but you have to wait for half an hour.But you can
also manage it by yourself,he said.
“I can have a try.I don't want to wait,”I said.
“Then you can find some ropes,and then climb under the truck to temporarily reattach the
muffler.”
I searched the truck but the only thing I found was a spare tire and a pair of shoes.注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:You can take down the loose bracket and place it under the muffler,said my father.
Paragraph 2:The sudden voice frightened me and the bracket fell into two parts.
