What is China? China is very diverse. It not only has skyscrapers in Beijing， Shanghai， Guangzhou and
Shenzhen， but also has vast rural fields and the rural society. In September 2017， we started a social
enterprise， Beyond the City， which connects urban and rural areas： hoping to help urban children expand
their rural horizons and help rural children learn more about career possibilities.
We created the Rural Filed Study Project and brought 1000 children from more than 30 cities to the Tibetan
area of Ganzi plateau, the terraces of the Red River in Yunnan, as well as the ancient hunting tribe of Aoluguya.
Instead of traveling of teaching as volunteers, we lived in the locals’ homes and took courses in social research,
opera performances, architectural design, etc.
Also, we initiated the City Career Planning Project and brought more than 100 rural children from deep within
the mountains of Liangshan to Shanghai to study courses about career planning and development. so as to help
them to understand all walks of life and get to know a real city life. We try our best to help them avoid the fate of
dropping out when they still have the chance to choose.
Additionally, we established the Career Connection Workshop, attempting to bring quality education and
career courses in first-tier cities to children in towns and small cities, connecting textbook knowledge with future
careers and offline classes with online resources. Evolving from this platform, we are now embarking on the path to
launch the Digital Skills Exchange Workshops within the next two years.
Beyond the City is committed to build mutual trust and connection between urban and rural areas, addressing
inequalities and laying the foundations for a more equal world.
21． What did the city children do in the Rural Filed Study Project?
A． They learned hunting. B． They travelled in Yunnan.
C． They volunteered to teach. D． They took various courses.
22． Which of the following helps a rural child explore a real urban life?
A． The Rural Filed Study Project. B． The City Career Planning Project.
C． The Career Connection Workshop. D． The Digital Skills Exchange Workshops.
23． What is the primary goal of Beyond the City?
A． To observe inequalities in education. B． To offer children more job opportunities.
C． To expose children to their local cultures. D． To bridge the gap between cities and villages.

What’s the truth of joy? I was obsessed with this question when I was young. However，ever since I started
my own family, this quest has been buried under my workloads and daily chores.
In 2008, Memorial Day weekend promised to deliver beautiful weather—not always the case at that time of
year, so I decided to spend that Saturday shopping and do one big cleaning, starting with the garage. Our two-car
garage, as always, was full of stuff. Boxes piled one on top of another, bikes crossed together. A garden hose（软
水管）sat in a corner. We had to turn sideways when getting in and out. I planned to pull everything out on the
driveway, hose down the entire garage, and after it was dry, put everything back more organized.
With the morning moving along, the possibility to finish the cleaning within the day began to look less and
less likely. I recalled how I had been feeling discontented lately while taking care of our stuff. Here was yet another
time！Then my neighbor June, who was working in her yard, heard my sigh and said jokingly, “The joy of home
ownership, huh?That’s why my daughter keeps telling me I don’t need to own all this stuff. ”
I don’t need to own all this stuff.
As I turned to look at the fruits of my morning labor, I began to recognize the source of my feelings for the
first time. It was piled up in my driveway. As I surveyed the pile I made, the answer to the obsolete（被遗忘的）
question came to light：There is more joy to be found in possessing less than we can ever find possessing more.
I ran inside the house and found my wife upstairs cleaning the bathtub. Still trying to catch my breath, tI said,
“Kim, you’ll never guess what just happened. June said we don’t need to own all this stuff！”
And in that moment, a minimalist family was born.
24． Which of the following best describes the to-be-cleaned garage?
A． Spacious and well-lit. B． Neatly labeled and sorted.
C． Disordered and jam-packed. D． Narrow and weather-beaten.
25． What can we infer about the author’s recent experience with stuff cleaning?
A． He went through unaccountable frustration.
B． He figured out his disinterest in cleaning.
C． He initiated it and enjoyed the process.
D． He lost patience and rushed to the end.
26． What did June imply by saying “The joy of home ownership, huh”?
A． The pleasure of possessing a home. B． The significance of owning a family.
C． The convenience of having a garage. D． The demands of maintaining a house.
27． Why did the author start a minimalist family?
A． He favored living with a handful of people.
B． He wanted to quit being a slave of stuff.
C． He considered cleaning a waste of time.
D． He figured out the joy of ownership.

In 1835, William Talbot finally succeeded in producing a photograph of his country house. He declared that
his was the first house ever known to have drawn its own picture. The drawing was formed“by the action of light
upon sensitive paper. ” Photography offered nature a “pencil” to paint herself through optical （光学的） and
chemical means alone.
By the mid-nineteenth century, people no longer needed to hire a draftsman to draw detailed images because
the process could be completed instantly with a camera. Advocates for the technology stated that not only was it
more precise than the human hand-it was faster and cheaper.
The removal of human fallibility in the creating process was one of photography’s biggest selling points, but
this also started debates about the new medium’s implications for visual culture. Could images made largely by a
machine be considered art? If so，where did human creativity fit in this process?
As the twenty-first century becomes increasingly automated（自动化的），more and more people attempt to
identify where human agency exists in the technologically driven world. Images generated with artificial
intelligence by companies like OpenAI are stimulating questions like those that emerged with the coming of the
photograph. By typing a sentence, users can generate “new” images composed from images collected across the
internet. The result has been a flood of AI-generated images in places that are previously unique to human authors.
Painting competitions, commercial graphic design and the fashion of portraiture（肖像）have all since collided
with the technology in troubling ways.
The fine arts were thought to be a final hold-out of human creativity, but the surprisingly high quality of AI-
generated images is producing deeper questions about the nature of originality. If the history of photography tells us
anything, it’s that the debate won’t be settled quickly, straightforwardly or by the institutions we typically associate
with cultural gatekeeping.
28． Why did Talbot declare that his house had drawn its own picture?
A． To downplay human factors in the creation.
B． To investigate a supernatural phenomenon.
C． To show his advanced knowledge in science.
D． To demonstrate the beauty of his country house.
29． What does the word “it”underlined in paragraph 2 refer to?
A． The photo of Talbot’s house. B． The image by a draftsman.
C． The technology of a camera. D． The paper sensitive to light.
30． What do OpenAI and cameras have in common?
A． They improve the taste of beauty. B． They advocate fashion designs.
C． They challenge human agency. D． They produce original images.
31． What did the author indicate by referring to the history of photography?
A． Cultural gatekeepers will solve the issue as they did.
B． AI-generated images will go through a similar debate.
C． The nature of originality will be held in human hands.
D． The fine arts will include photography and AI images.
D
In order to meet growing food production and energy needs in low-and middle-income countries, solar-
powered groundwater irrigation（灌溉）is rapidly gaining ground. More than 500，000 solar pumps（泵）have
been set up in south Asia over the last few years and a major expansion is planned across sub-Saharan Africa.
Dustin Garrick, professor in the School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability, along with an
international team, examined the trend toward solar pumps as a clear opportunity for boosting agricultural yields
and reducing poverty, but the opportunity comes with risks.
While replacing electric or gas pumps with solar-powered irrigation holds the promise of reducing carbon
emissions（排放）, it is not guaranteed. Farmers who have access to these pumps may expand production of crops
or diversify into other activities, which are not emissions neutral. Solar pumps will increase groundwater pumping
efficiency, which may be desirable in regions that support such increases, but this could worsen groundwater
lessening in regions that are already stressed. The cheap clean energy of solar pumps may lead to increased
groundwater development, without necessarily decreasing overall emissions.
Despite these challenges, the clean-energy boost can serve as a stimulus for positive change in water and
energy management but will require enhanced regulation and planning in both low-and high-income settings.
Garrick and his team advocate for improved data collection initiatives, with a shift from separated to integrated
approaches. They suggest using technology to measure water pumping and collecting remotely sensed data to
monitor land use changes. As well，regulatory improvements are crucial, with mounting limits for carbon
emissions and groundwater lessening established at various levels.
With groundwater management already a difficult challenge, we must act fast to understand the implications
of the clean energy boost and poverty reduction acts to avoid these gains being won away by wells running dry.
The rapid adoption of solar irrigation intensifies the urgency, demanding adaptation from governments and
institutions to sail through these complexities.
32． According to paragraph 3, there is a conflict between ______
A． poor farmers and solar-powered irrigation
B． human consumption and clean energy limits
C． crop diversity and crop production expansion
D． pumping efficiency and groundwater exhaustion
33． What did Garrick and his team suggest for a positive change?
A． Integrating data collection and regulation. B． Improving carbon emission monitoring.
C． Separating data for land use changes．D． Establishing groundwater levels．
34． What does the author propose the readers do?
A． Perform as the authorities suggest. B． Act based on further understanding.
C． Quicken the adoption of solar irrigation. D． Challenge the groundwater management.
35． Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A． The Complexities of Adopting Solar Pumps
B． Solar-Powered Irrigation：Farmers’New Future
C． The Promise and Risks of Solar-Powered Irrigation
D． Balancing Clean Energy Boost and Poverty Reduction

We’ve all heard the advice to“get out of your comfort zone”by taking on a new challenge. A recent study goes
a step further：Make discomfort a direct goal. That’s more likely to motivate you than if you focus on 56
you hope to learn.
In the first of five experiments, the researchers assigned several hundred students training at Second City
Chicago 57 （participate）in a small-group improvisation（即兴）exercise, and then instructed half of
the group that their goal during the session was“to feel awkward and 58 （comfortable）. ” The rest，
those in the control group, 59 （tell）to “feel yourself developing new skills. ” Members of the first group
kept at the exercise longer than the others did and took 60 （great）risks. Experiments involving other
dimensions of personal 61 （grow）-engaging in expressive writing, learning about gun violence, and
hearing about opposing political beliefs- 62 （produce）similar results.
Reframing anxiety as excitement has been proven a way to improve singing in front of strangers, and 63
（think）of stress as a means to boost achievement a demonstrated stress-management technique.
“When people reinterpret negative experiences as functional, they are more willing to engage 64 tasks
that call forth those experiences, ” the researchers explain. “Instead of seeing discomfort as unrelated to the goal
65 a signal to stop, they will start perceiving it as a sign of progress toward their goal. ”

An egg sandwich in hand, I quickly grabbed my bag and climbed into the honking car. I took out my physics
notes and started skimming through them once more.
Today was a very important exam-of physics． For me, it is a really hard subject and I had worked really
tough and intended to do my best in it.
I entered the queue outside the assigned classroom where the invigilator（监考老师）was checking our
pencil cases. All the seniors and juniors were mixed and we were sitting in an English letter order. Upon looking at
my name, I was surprised to see someone else sitting on my seat. She was a senior.
“Um．．． excuse me, I think you got the wrong seat．．．, ” my squeaky（细的）voice faltered（支吾）.
She stared in front in a bored way. I had the feeling she was deliberately ignoring me. I had enough trouble
socializing with people, so I decided to leave the matter to the invigilator. The invigilator came soon enough.
“Katie, dear, you need to move one seat back for Aliya here, ” the invigilator explained.
The girl, Katie, shifted and I settled down. The girl in front of me turned around and rolled her eyes at me.
Now, I was puzzled. What was wrong? I had annoyed two people at the same time?
These thoughts drifted away as I started focusing on the paper. Minutes passed when out of the blue，there
was a tap on my shoulder.
The girl behind me, Katie, whispered, “Quick！Change places with me. ”
I froze. It took me a moment to process her words. Without even waiting for a response, she grabbed my arms,
pulled me up and made me sit on her seat, exchanging our papers too. Then she and the girl in front of her started to
exchange some notes. I didn’t know what to do. I fought hard to collect enough courage and raised my hand, but
the invigilator was busy with another candidate.
