China is a land of many wonders, ancient and modern, natural and man-made. This hugely popular tour is a
comprehensive journey through China’s most iconic sights from the grand Great Wall to the mighty Yangtze River.
Starting in the busy capital, Beijing, explore the magnificent Forbidden City and harmonious Temple of Heaven,
before a trip to the Great Wall. And then you’ll discover the ancient city walls of Xi’an and come face to face with the
life-sized Terracotta Warriors which have been bathed in mystery since their discovery in the 1970s.
Next up is a four-night cruise（航游）on the Yangtze River, stopping at many highlights along the way. Witness
the world’s largest hydro-electric dam, the Three Gorges, and sail peacefully along the Shennong Stream soaking（沉

No trip to China is complete without seeing their most adorable residents: the giant pandas. Visit Chongqing’s
Panda House for a closer look at these playful bears before boarding a high-speed train to the amazing city of Guilin,
one of China’s most picturesque regions.
The trip ends among the towering skyscrapers of Shanghai, a city where the old and new sit harmoniously side
by side. See the city’s contrasting skyline with an evening cruise along the Huangpu River, find peace at the beautiful

A man rides at full speed on a single-wheeled bike, leaning back on a seat fixed above a recycled tyre as he
performs wheelies（杂技）. This machine is just one of many crazy inventions from Make It Extreme, a You Tube
channel run by Michael Mavros and George Shiailis, two best friends who use old materials to create unique and
innovative mechanical projects.
The partners of this DIY design make the inventions to promote the joys of mechanical engineering and inspire
creativity in others.
On Make It Extreme, they transform everyday objects and vehicles into extreme versions of themselves, pushing
creative boundaries in the process. They build and design their projects, film and edit the entire process, then finally
showcase the results.
“By passionately crafting furniture, engines, tools, toys and vehicles while using our imagination, we try to offer
innovative solutions to various mechanical challenges,” explains Mavros, “We’ve shared this passion since our early
years, and now, through our channel, we share it with millions of other people in an easily understandable way.”
For its 100th video, Make It Extreme introduced the Monotrack bike, constructed entirely from recycled and old
materials. They utilised a 100cc two-stroke engine from an old scooter（摩托车）, cutting the sidewalls of a used car
tyre and fitting it around a recycled motor. The bike reflects their commitment to sustainability and creativity, purely
for the joy and curiosity it brings.
“The idea for the Monotrack bike came from an old wartime photo where we saw a similar vehicle,” says
Mavros, “Our creations are often inspired by things we’ve encountered before. For example, the Monowheel, where a
person sits inside a huge wheel, was inspired by similar vehicles from decades ago, and our tank chair stemmed from
the idea of creating an accessible adventure vehicle for people with limited mobility.”
Make It Extreme now has almost two million subscribers who are eager to tune in every month to see the
partners’ latest invention. And Mavros promises that 2024 will see them create their most daring project yet.
4. Why do Mavros and Shiailis run Make It Extreme?
A. To make profits. B. To earn popularity.
C. To develop hobby. D. To awaken innovation.

A. Why the old things were used. B. Where the Monowheel was found.
C. What their inspirations originated from. D. How the Monotrack bike was invented.
7. What can we learn from Mavros and Shiailis in the text?
A. Nothing is impossible. B. Hard work will pay off.
C. Success needs perseverance. D. Many hands make light work.

The apparent complexities of the TikTok algorithm（算法）may actually be as simple as a bag of chips. In a
video with more than 700,000 views, creator Celeste Aria laid out her “Dorito theory”, which she uses to explain the
addictive nature of endlessly-scrolling social media feeds.
Everyone has a topic they just can’t stop thinking about, and Aria’s Roman Empire is Doritos. In her popular
video, she expresses that TikTok scrolling is so addictive because it is never fully satisfying. Like a Dorito, a scrolling
session on the For You Page is most stimulating during the first few bites. The end of the chip or video brings a desire
to start consuming another one, thus returning to that first-bite feeling.
Essentially, the Dorito theory suggests that activities like eating Doritos, which provide a quick burst of pleasure
but lack lasting satisfaction, can be highly addictive. Aria compared it to consuming foods that offer deeper
satisfaction, like a heart y steak, where the feeling of fullness and contentment lasts longer.
The theory can apply to a lot of different experiences, but it’s particularly well-suite d as a metaphor for the
dopamine（多巴胺）boosts that occur while scrolling through social media feeds. Dr. Jamie Sorenson, a board-
certified psychiatrist, said that the Dorito theory is consistent with existing ideas regarding addiction. “The more
immediate the reward is, the more likely we are to repeat that behavior, whether it’s eating Doritos or scrolling on
social media.”
Aria may not be a licensed medical professional, but she treats junk food the way any nutritionist would. “I’d
recommend just trying to remove anything that you think falls into the Dorito category,” she says in her video.
The Dorito theory trend has led to reflections on the nature of addiction and the pursuit of instant satisfaction in
today’s society, resonating（共鸣）with many TikTok users who recognize similar patterns in their own lives. So, it
feels like it’s only a matter of time before Doritos responds to Aria’s theory.
8. What do the underlined words “Roman Empire” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. A video. B. A subject. C. A country. D. A snack.
9. What makes Aria addicted to chips according to the text?
A. Social media. B. Different flavors. C. Lasting satisfaction. D. First-bite feeling.
10. How does Aria explain the Dorito theory?
A. By introducing a concept. B. By conducting an experiment.
C. By making a comparison. D. By quoting an expert’s words.
11. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. TikTok: an appealing platform
B. Celeste Aria: an insightful discoverer
C. Chips or steaks: a challenging choice
D. The Dorito theory: an ongoing hit online
D
As people hold different views on almost anything, we live in a judgmental world where people are quick to
point out the faults and imperfections of others, yet seem unaware of their own. Some misguided souls believe they
have a duty to help you to be a better person by telling you what a failure you really are first and then offering
suggestions as to how you can improve.
So what is the possible solution to criticism?
If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision rather than
focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes. You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions
from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When
someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a natural response is to defend
and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply
with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or
feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.
It is important to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying, to listen without feeling, to be
an objective observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I
make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve
myself? As for chronic（习惯性的）criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself
from their presence when necessary.
In any case, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or
relationship with the other party.
12. What may the author think of people who prefer to judge others?
A. Warm-hearted. B. Self-centered. C. Talkative. D. Responsible.
13. What does a person probably convey by saying “OK” according to paragraph 3?
A. He thinks the suggestions are helpful.
B. He defenses himself with the response.
C. He agrees with the comments completely.
D. He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments.
14. What is the key to making an objective observer according to paragraph 4?
A. Having debates. B. Accepting criticism.
C. Keeping calm. D. Avoiding criticizers.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To make a judgment on others. B. To explain some social behavior.
C. To call for action against attack. D. To give advice on facing criticism.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Build Resilience
Resilience（适应力）is a crucial skill that can help us face the unpredictability of life and thrive in the face of
adversity. 16 Whether it’s learning how to be resilient at work or how to be resilient to stress, use these
strategies as a starting point for your resilience-building journey.
Nurture strong relationships
17 Having caring, supportive people around you acts as a protective factor during times of crisis. While
simply talking about a situation with a friend or loved one won’t make your troubles go away, it allows you to share
your feelings, get support, receive positive feedback, and come up with possible solutions to your problems.
18
Your physical well-being significantly impacts your resilience. A health y body can cope better with stress and
recover faster from illness or tiredness. Start to improve your health by integrating a simple exercise routine into your
daily schedule, like a 30-minute stroll or a short yoga session. By taking care of yourself, you can boost your overall
health and resilience and be fully ready to face life’s challenges.
Discover your purpose
A sense of purpose can give you direction and motivation, especially during tough times. Consider what goals
you have, whether little or large. These goals give a sense of purpose to your life and keep you focused. Write down a
list of things you want to accomplish in life. 19

serious challenge emerges.

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。
Chip was not willing to go to school. The only hour of his day that was bearable was science class. He used to
think of science as a bunch of boring words in a textbook, but Mr. O’Dell had changed all that.
It started when Mr. O’Dell announced how students could get a good grade in his class—not by memorizing a lot
of facts but by thinking. The students stared at him, either wondering what he was talking about or else marveling
（惊叹）at the reddish brown hair surrounding his shiny bald head...
Mr. O’Dell asked another question, “What common substance can take the form of a liquid, a solid, or a gas?”
Nobody answered. The class just sat there, waiting for Mr. O’Dell to explain what that had to do with anything.
Then Chip got it. The first liquid he thought of was water, and then ice. Ice is a solid. And when water gets superhot,
it turns to steam. He wasn’t sure if steam was a gas or not, but when nobody else spoke, Chip blurted out, “Water?”
After that Chip could tell that Mr. O’Dell liked him. Chip liked him too—at least most of the time.
The best part about science class was the field trips. Once when a student pointed out an ant hill, Mr. O’Dell put
his nose down so close to watch that Chip expected an ant to climb right onto it and march up through the freckles
（雀斑）to stare back at him through his gold-rimmed glasses. Another time, Mr. O’Dell had the whole class sit
cross-legged in a circle to watch a chameleon（变色龙）change from brown to bright green. Anyone who wasn’t
paying close attention missed the important moment when it shot its long tongue and brought a fly back into its
mouth.
Mr. O’Dell had the students take detailed notes on each animal or insect they were observing. He added that the
creatures ought to be right where they were, doing whatever they were doing.
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:
The minute the lesson turned to science, Chip exploded with energy and enthusiasm.
