Two Georgian twins, separated at birth when they were sold to different adoptive families, have been reunited
and have TikTok to thank for bringing them back together.
The astonishing story began 10 years ago when one of the twins, Amy Khvitia, sat watching Georgia’s Got
Talent in her godmother’s house near the Black Sea. A young girl, who looked exactly like her, climbed up on stage
and began to dance in front of the reality show’s judges. Another seven years went by when Ano Sartania, the young
girl that had danced on television, was sent a TikTok video of a young woman with blue hair getting her eyebrow
pierced. Determined, Ano took to a WhatsApp university group with her plea. asking for help finding the woman with
the blue hair. Against all odds, someone in the group knew Amy and the pair was connected through Facebook. Amy
and Ano agreed to meet in-person at a local train station.
“It was awkward, it was awesome, it was everything,” Ano told The Sun of that first meeting, adding, “It was
weird for me like I was looking in a mirror.”As they grew to know each other more, the two women began to list the
similarities they shared and admit to being a bit unsettled by it all. Both were born in the same hospital, but their birth
certificates said they were born a couple of weeks apart. Wanting answers, they turned to their families to ask some
hard questions and soon had an explanation — both families admitted to adopting the girls as newborns.
It turns out both of their mothers had been unable to have children and were told they could pay to adopt
unwanted babies at the hospital. DNA tests ‘eventually confirmed that that Amy and Ano were twins. However, they
wanted to know why their biological parents have given them up and if they had been sold for profit. The twins have
since been reunited with their birth mother, Aza, who claimed she fell into a coma after delivering her identical
daughters and when she woke up hospital staff told her that her babies were dead.
“While Ano and Amy’s story contains a lot of coincidence on their path to reunion, their adoption circumstances
aren’t that unique in Georgia—as many as 100,000 Georgian babies have been put up for illegal adoption since the
1950s on the black baby market,” says Georgian journalist Tamuna Museridze, who has been working to reunite
families.
24．Which of the following properly describes the twins?
A．Their foster parents paid to adopt them legally.
B．Their first in-person meeting was full of mixed feelings.
C．It took them a smooth decade to get connected with each other.
D．Their biological parents sold them at birth for profit through hospital staff.
25．What does the underlined word “unsettled” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Changed B．Shaped C．Upset D．Unsolved
26．What is Tamuna Museridze’s attitude to baby adoption?
A．Tolerant. B．Supportive. C．Unclear. D．Disapproving.
27．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Black baby market gains popularity in Georgia
B．Twin sisters, abandoned by birth mother, reunited
C．Twin sisters, sold illegally at birth, reunited thanks to TikTok
D．Lots of coincidence brought adopted twin sisters a family reunion

Bullet comments—comments which fly across the screen on certain video platforms—represent a modern
approach to communication that young people use in cyberspace to express their ideas, emotions and feelings. When
looking back, however, they are a good reminder of what was hot or trending in the past year.
On Dec 15,2023, Bilibili, a Chinese video-sharing platform, picked “Ah?” as the Bullet Comment of the Year. In
2023, “Ah?” appeared more than 13.2 million times on Bilibili as a bullet comment, according to Dazhong Daily.
Today, young people in China use “Ah?” to express their surprise and amazement. User Mo Xin filmed himself
writing down the ancient Chinese text Hard Is the Road to Shu（《蜀道难》）in one stroke（一笔）and subsequently
uploaded the video to Bilibili. This feat（壮举）resulted in the video winning the most “Ah?”bullet comments on the
platform.
China’s huge technological advancements have also generated “Ah?” comments from Bilibili users. In August,
China made a breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion（可控核聚变）technology. Its new-generation “artificial
sun” Huanliu-3 looks to open new doors in the world of nuclear fusion. Videos announcing this news were inundated
（淹没）in “Ah?” comments.
Though simple and easily understandable, “Ah?” provides insights into young people’s interests. Their focus
extends beyond mere entertainment, however. They also, use “Ah?” to engage with. commentaries, and scientific
discoveries, indicating a deeper, more serious layer of interest. These “Ah?” comments reveal that young people are
attentive to the world around them. “Ah?” has become their unique way of responding to contemporary events, using
it as a tool to document today’s history.
Every year brings a new bullet comment of the year, but what never changes is how young people want their
voices to be heard. Do you still remember which video got you to send an “Ah?” in 2023?
28．What do we know about “Bullet comments” according to the text?
A．They will remind others of your opinions.
B．They are an easy way to interact with others.
C．They enable us to think about the popular events.
D．They are used in young people’s daily communication.
29．Why is Hard Is the Road to Shu mentioned in paragraph 3?
A．To prove the function of “Ah?”. B．To argue for the benefit of “Ah?”.
C．To explain the popularity of “Ah?”. D．To clarify the development of “Ah?”.
30．What are the features of “Ah?”?
A．Concrete and modern. B．Easy and accessible.
C．Abstract but popular. D．Unique but meaningless.
31．Which of the following is likely to get most “Ah?” on Bilibili according to the text?
A．Huawei made a breakthrough in 5G.
B．Southern little potatoes poured in Harbin.
C．The Moutai-flavoured coffee came into the market.
D．China, Singapore mutual visa-free policies will boost tourism.

Humans have sailed the oceans’ surfaces for millennia（千年）, but their depths remain effectively uncharted.
Only about a quarter of the seafloor has been mapped at high resolution. Maps of most regions display only
approximate depths and often miss entire underwater mountains or canyons（峡谷）.
So a group of researchers has recruited some deep-diving experts: Elephant Seals and Weddell Seals. Scientists
have been placing trackers on these blubbery marine mammals around Antarctica for years, gathering data on ocean
temperature and salinity. For a new study, the researchers compared these dives’ location and depth data with some of
the less detailed seafloor maps. They spotted places where the seals dove deeper than should have been possible
according to the maps--meaning the existing depth estimates were inaccurate.
In eastern Antarctica’s Vincennes Bay, the diving seals helped the scientists find a large, hidden underwater
canyon. An Australian research ship called the RSV Nuyina later measured the canyon’s exact depth using sonar, and
the researchers have proposed naming their find the Mirounga-Nuyina Canyon—honoring both the ship and the
involved Elephant Seals, genus（动植物的属）Mirounga.
But seals can’t map the entire ocean floor. The trackers used in the study could pinpoint a seal’s geographical
location only within about 1.5miles. Plus, because the seals don’t always dive to the bottom of the ocean, they can
reveal only where the bottom is deeper than in existing maps—not shallower. McMahon notes that scientists could
improve on these data by using more precise GPS trackers and analyzing the seals’ diving patterns to determine
whether they have reached the seafloor or simply stopped descending.
The current seal-dive data can still be valuable for an important task, says Anna Whlin, an oceanographer. The
deep ocean around Antarctica is warmer than the frigid waters at the surface, and seafloor canyons can allow that
warmer water to flow to the ice along the continent’s coast, Whlin explains. To predict how Antarctica’s ice will
melt, scientists will need to know where those canyons are and how deep they go.
32．What problem is mentioned at the beginning of the text?
A．Lack of the map. B．Not enough tools.
C．Ineffective charts. D．Inaccurate measurement.
33．How did the researchers conduct the study?
A．By observing the seals. B．By. comparing different data.
C．By using advanced equipment. D．By analyzing the existing maps.
34．What does the underlined words “their find” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The canyon. B．The ship. C．The seals. D．The genus.
35．What can be inferred from the text?
A．The present data is of little use.
B．Seal’s swimming pattern influences the data.
C．The ocean’s surface around Antarctica is warmer.
D．The seal can’t reach deep ocean because of temperature.

Historically, only local governments worried about a widespread food crisis, but today, the rapidly rising food
prices and the resulting food crisis can quickly be a worldwide phenomenon. Over the next 20 years, the fight to feed
the world will be a huge challenge facing the global economy. 36 ?
The first solution lies in the combined effect of money and time. 37 . More than ever, we need the transfer
of time and money away from the army and toward creating an international plan to deal with hunger.
38 . It helps coordinate（使协调）public policies, individual actions, farmer practices and consumer
behavior towards common goals. As a result, it is crucial to work on such a strategy.
Another way to solve the crisis is to double food production in developing countries. 39 Governmental
agencies, non-profit organizations, agricultural scientists, private investors and charitable donors, all must partner
together to enhance the capacity of the developing world to meet the great need for food.
While we may not be seeing all the symptoms of food shortage, we must be clear-eyed in our current support of
food production. It is obvious that we will face a severe problem, but the problem is solvable. 40 , we must do
it carefully and consistently.
A．Since you think it beneficial to the whole world
B．What about developing economy to solve the crisis
C．If we are to reach our goal and prevent a global food crisis
D．How can we relieve the current crisis and avoid future risks
E．The goal needs an enormous investment in agriculture from various sources
F．Developing a national strategy to reduce food loss and waste is also useful to handle the crisis

My name is Fauna, but Mom and Dad sometimes call me Magpie, since I talk a lot. They call me “animal
magnet,” too; because animals like me. I don’t mind at all because I like them, too. In fact, what I really, really want is
a pet of my own. My dad has a pet fish, and I like it a lot---but I would still like a pet that’s all mine.
“Please? I asked my parents.“Pretty please, with cherries and chocolate and whipped cream on top?”
“We’ll see!”
“I’ll walk it and feed it and brush it.... well, unless it has scales or something. Then I’ll polish them real nice.”
“We’ll see.”
Finally, though, “we’ll see” was upgraded to “soon.”
Let’s do some research,” said Dad, “and see what kind of pet is best for you.”
“And keep your eyes peeled,” said Mom.“You never know when an opportunity will come along.”
One did come along.
I was on my way home from school when I saw a unicorn（独角兽）standing in back of Baker Trembly’s shop.
He was nibbling stale biscuits out of the trash can. I thought he might be a wild unicorn come into town, but he trotted
（小跑）right up to me when I held out the apple I had in my backpack, left over from lunch.
“It followed me home!”I told my parents, after I managed to lead the unicorn to our front gate. “Can I keep it?”
“I hope you were careful,” said my dad with a frown.“Unicorns can be dangerous.”
“Not this one! He’s very sweet. And he’s just what I want!. I can keep him. in the garden.”
“He does look sweet,” said my mom. “Let’s check his tags（标牌）.”
Tags? I hadn’t even noticed his thin silver collar, I’d been so excited.

One possible version:
Dear fellow students,
Noticing a serious phenomenon that some high school seniors burdened with school work spare little time for
regular physical exercise, I’d like to appeal to you to take proper exercise.
Doing sports is of great significance, which enables us to keep in shape and get refreshed after a long time of
work. Therefore, I suggest we fit exercise into our busy schedule, making it part of our daily routine. Put down our
books to stretch our arms from time to time and do some jogging and jumping every day.
It is high time that we should arouse our awareness of proper exercise.

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
There was a little tag on it, with a phone number. “Do we have to call?” I said. “Can’t we pretend we didn’t see
the tag?” “Think how you would feel,” said Dad, “if it was your unicorn that was lost.” We called the number. Soon
after that a little girl about my age came to the house with her dad. The girl—Sari, her name was—almost cried, she
was so happy.
Paragraph 2:
“I’ve had him since he was little,” Sari said.“We’ve never been apart.” But this morning something scared him,
and he jumped over the fence. I guess he couldn’t find his way home. Thank you for finding him. I’m so happy!”Well,
I wasn’t happy, even though Sari said I could visit him anytime I wanted. The next day Dad took me to a pet shop and
we did buy a nice young unicorn.“That is for how honest you are and how much you like it.” said Dad.
