Different from regular concerts, roadside concerts in Guiyang, capital city of southwest China’s Guizhou
Province, allow people to immerse themselves in music. Without tickets or fences, young people held hands together,
singing and dancing. Videos showing their relaxing and cheerful performances went viral after being posted on social
media.
From common people to stars, music brings people together. “Whether they are ordinary people or stars, when
stepping onto the small stage by the road, they can enjoy the joy of music together,” said Zhou Wenjia, deputy head of
the publicity department of Yunyan District.
Sun Guang, head of Nanming District’s cultural and tourism bureau in Guiyang, became a hit for the roadside
concert.
“I have a music dream,” said Sun, who once took part in national competitions and performed on stage in
Beijing. But for being busy with his work, he saw his guitar covered in dust. While seeing the flowing crowds, Sun
signed up in secret, put on his leather jacket and sunglasses, and stood on his beloved stage.
But perhaps because of his wonderful performance, some audience recognized him. When singing on the stage
for the third time, a short video showing his performance became a hit online and received nearly 1 million views,
which put him at a loss for a time.
Qingyun Market, one of the venues of roadside concerts, is a famous tourist attraction in Guiyang which sells
night snacks and local cultural and creative products. With the popularity of concerts, the market has become an
important engine to boost the city’s economy.
“Roadside concerts now have become an important economic booster, and I could be a promoter. This is a good
combination of my hobbies and duties,” said Sun.
As roadside concerts continue to gain steam, music has become a driving force for consumption. Guiyang has
made it clear that roadside concerts will continue to require zero tickets, zero business, and zero distance from the
people, with an aim to build a city with warmth and hospitality.
24．What does the underlined expression “went viral” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．caught a virus. B．became popular. C．piled up. D．got blocked.
25．What is the feature of the roadside concert?
A．People enjoy the music together for free by the road.
B．Many superstars and bands enjoy street performances.
C．Audience immerse themselves in music inside the fences.
D．Roadside concerts gain little support from the government.
26．Why did Sun Guang sign up in secret?
A．Because he is too busy with his work. B．Because he can’t stand public attention.
C．Because he wants to mask his real identity. D．Because he lacks confidence in his performance.
27．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Roadside concerts will attract sponsorship to earn profit.
B．Roadside concerts will charge the audience in the future.
C．Roadside concerts are aimed to improve the urban infrastructure.
D．Roadside concerts can boost the economic development in Guiyang.

Of all the creatures on the planet, the narwhal is one of the strangest looking. It’s a whale which has a large
protruding tusk coming out of its head; that’s how it got , its nickname, the unicorn of the sea. They live in the Arctic
Ocean off the coast of Canada, Russia and East Greenland. However, experts say some populations of narwhal could
be extinct by 2025, and it’s all because of noise pollution.
Narwhals rely on echolocation, which they use to find food and navigate their surroundings. The animal produces
a sound wave which bounces off an object. They pick this reflected sound up through their lower jaw, and information
on features like size and speed passes to their ears. However, increase in human marine activity, as well as climate
change, has resulted in the Arctic Ocean becoming noisier, which means it’s more difficult for narwhals to rely on
sound. Susanna Blackwell, who studies the effects of underwater noise on marine animals, told the BBC that there is
noisier activity in the Arctic Ocean than ever because, as sea ice melts, new navigation routes are opening. And while
icebergs breaking and creaking have been part of the ocean soundscape for hundreds of years, man-made noise is
much harder for animals to adapt to, particularly as these changes are so sudden.
Research published in Science Advances in 2023 recorded the reactions of narwhals to the simulated (模拟的)
noises of oil expeditions made by a patrol vessel (巡逻船). The scientists tagged and tracked the creatures and found
that, on hearing these sounds, they ended deepdives and stopped clicking, the echolocation signal they use for finding
food underwater. This is the same reaction narwhals have to orcas, who hunt them, meaning human-made noise could
trigger the creature’s “threat button”.
So, what can we do? Charlotte Findlay, a postdoctoral fellow at Aarhus University, says “noise is actually quite
easy to solve. We need to either turn it off or turn it down.”
28．What can we learn about the narwhal from the first paragraph?
A．It has a large tusk from its jaw. B．It currently faces the risk of dying out.
C．It lives in the southern hemispnere. D．It sounds different from other whales.
29．What does Susanna Blackwell’s study show?
A．Narwhals navigate their surroundings by echolocation.
B．Sea ice melting makes the ocean noisier than ever.
C．Man-made noise has a greater impact on marine animals.
D．Narwhals are not used to icebergs breaking and creaking.
30．What does the research mentioned in paragraph 3 imply?
A．A patrol vessel was applied in the research. B．Orcas are the natural enemy to narwhals.
C．Noises would change the echolocation signal. D．Scientists tagged narwhals under the water.
31．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Survival of Narwhal threatened by man-made noise.
B．Experts predicting the extinction of the narwhal.
C．New research set to solve underwater noise pollution.
D．Narwhal population affected by underwater noise pollution.

The sporty all-electric car from the Netherlands resembles a BMW car, but is unique: It captures more carbon
than it emits. “Our end goal is to create a more sustainable future,” said Jens Lahaije, finance manager for
TU/ecomotive, the Eindhoven University of Technology student team that created the car. Called ZEM, for zero
emission mobility, the two-seater houses a Cleantron lithium-ion battery (锂电池) pack, and most of its parts are 3D-
printed from recycled plastics, Lahaije said. The target is to minimize carbon dioxide emitted during the car’s full
lifespan, from manufacturing to recycling, he added.
Battery electric vehicles emit virtually no CO2 during operation compared with combustion-engine (燃烧式发动
机) vehicles, but battery cell production can create so much pollution that it can take EVs tens of thousands of miles to
achieve “carbon parity (相同)” with comparable fossil-fueled models.
“Direct air capture is a fairly new method of cleaning the air by capturing CO2 into a filter (过滤器). We have
made use of this innovative technology and implemented this in our car. The idea is very simple: while driving, air
will move through our self-designed filters and the CO2 will be captured and stored.” ZEM uses two filters that can
capture up to 2 kilograms (4.41 lb) of CO2 over 20,000 miles of driving, the Eindhoven team estimated. They imagine
a future when filters can be emptied at charging stations, based on the fact that there are a nationwide charging
infrastructure, which includes residential, commercial and public chargers across the country installed by the Energy
Department, automakers and private businesses.
The students are showing their vehicle on a US promotional tour to universities and companies from the East
Coast to Silicon Valley, hoping to attract more financial support.
It is hard to tell where the future will take the electric vehicles, but it is clear that they hold a lot of potential for
creating a more sustainable future. In the end, only time will tell what road electric vehicles will take in the future.
32．What advantage does the newly-designed car have?
A．It looks like a BMW car. B．It is a drive-less car.
C．It’s a carbon-eating electric vehicle. D．It purifies air automatically.
33．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The function of filters. B．The benefits of direct air capture.
C．The application prospect of the technology. D．The operating principle of the technology.
34．What problem do the student team face according to the passage?
A．Lack of research fund. B．Unpredictable application prospect.
C．No permission from the government. D．Strong objection from the car companies.
35．What is Jens Lahaije’s attitude toward the future of the sport y all-electric car?
A．Doubtful. B．Confident. C．Concerned. D．Pessimistic.

How to be more productive
Getting things done isn’t working all day at 100 miles an hour. 36 . And the following tips can definitely
help you.
37
Smaller tasks like answering emails are “shallow work”. Try to be more conscious of what your shallow tasks
are, and give yourself permission to block them out for a while so you can focus on the important tasks that require
“deep work”.
Call it a day
For good productivity, be strict about when your working day is over, and when you get to the end of your
planned work. session, ease yourself into a more relaxed state. Look through your unfinished work. 38 . Then
close that textbook or laptop and say something out loud like “Shutdown complete!” After that? Have some fun. Give
your mind the rest it’s earned.
Find your top level goal
39 . Find the big thing that we could call your life’s purpose, like inspiring others, or helping people in
society. Put that at the top. On the next level you’ll have mid-level goals like passing an exam. The goals below-it-
should all feed into your top-level. They’ll be smaller, more practical things—perhaps writing an email, or doing some
research. If they don’t help with achieving your top goal, then get rid of them!
Make your breaks smarter
Time-management master Francesco Cirillo says that for every 25 minutes of intense concentration, you should
take five off to do nothing at all, which gives the brain time to recover and keeps your productivity high. 40 .
Move around, stare out of a window.
A．Shut out the shallow
B．Make out the shallow
C．Find some pictures of kittens and puppies first
D．Organise your priorities by making a pyramid of goals

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。
The notice was posted next to the mailboxes in the apartment building I had just moved into. “A Mitzvah (善行)
for Mrs. Green,” it read, “Sign up to drive Mrs. Green in 3B home from her chemotherapy (化疗) treatments twice a
month.”
Since I wasn’t a driver, I couldn’t add my name, but the word “mitzvah” was always wandering in my thoughts
after I went upstairs. It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. But according to my grandma, it also had
another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she noticed that I thought it a shame to
let people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to
let another person do something for you.”
One evening, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when the time to leave for class
came. I labored to the bus stop, reaching it just as a bus went by. For an hour, I prayed desperately that a bus would
come. Then I gave up. The wind at my back pushed me towards home. Even if I wanted to ask someone for a good
deed, which I did not, there wasn’t a soul on the street.
But as I pushed the door of my apartment open, I found myself face to face with a woman at the mailbox with a
set of keys in her hand. Obviously she had a car and was going out. In that split second, desperation overcame my
pride and I blurted (脱口而出), “Could you possibly give me a lift?” An odd look crossed her face and she agreed
without hesitation.
On our way to my school, she spoke so warmly that I felt comfortable. “You remind me of my grandmother.” I
said. A slight smile crossed her lips. “Just call me Grandma Alice as my grandchildren do.” When she dropped me off,
I thanked her again and again.
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。
Back home I heard a neighbor saying “Good night, Mrs Green.” to Grandma Alice on the stairs.

Mrs. Green visited me later and said, “May I tell you something?”
