It was initially a radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4. It is extremely funny and inventive, and has a very British sense of humor, whose true meanings foreign readers can hardly make out though it has been translated into French and Italian and so on. But when I read it I feel a strong connection to my home. It was published in paperback by Pan Books, after BBC Publishing had turned down the offer of publishing a novelization, an action they later regretted.The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson BurnettHave you ever read a description of a landscape or countryside that made you feel like you were actually there? For me, this book does exactly that. It is about a young girl who is taken to live in a big house in my hometown and discovers a secret garden.Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean WebsterThis book takes the form of a series of letters, and follows the story of a young orphan(孤儿), Judy, as she goes to university and discovers a whole world of new experiences. This book always reminds me of my family, especially my mother, because she used to read it to me when I was ill in bed.The Railway Children by E. NesbitThis was one of my favorite books when I was younger, and for this reason it still strongly reminds me of England and my childhood. It is also set in Yorkshire where I was born and spent my childhood, and follows three children living next to a railway and their adventures. 21. What do we know about HG2G?A. It was based on true adventures.B. Its language is abstract and inventive.C. Its humor is hard for foreigners to understand. D. It was adapted for radio after being published.22. Which books are set in the same place?A. Daddy-Long-Legs & HG2G. B. The Secret Garden & The Railway Children.C. The Secret Garden & HG2G. D. Daddy Long Legs & The Railway Children.23. What do all the books have in common?A. They follow children’s adventures.B. They are British countryside series.C. They refer to the author’s childhood.D. They bring memories of home to the author.BZondo, a lawyer and human rights activist, was accompanied by her family as she discussed the process behind writing her memoir—Dearest MaRiky: A Mother’s Journey through Grief, Trauma and Healing. In her book, Zondo tells her story, the tragedy of losing her son, musician and rapper Rikhado “Riky Rick” Makhado.Speaking on the experience of launching her book, Zondo said she has found the process energising and fulfilling. “ I found myself energised by sitting like this, feeling a sense of community with people, sharing openly with people and feeling that I’m not alone in a warm way. Of course, there are times when I get home and I just curl up, but overall I’ve been energised,” Zondo said.Parts of Zondo’s memoir are formatted as letters to Riky Rick and according to her, the writing process has been a healing process and closure following the death of her son. Zondo said the letters in the memoir came from the fact that she had promised her son that she was going to write some letters to him and tell him about some parts of her life. According to the self-reflective mother, the details on life were matters Riky Rick was asking about in times that he was feeling troubled. He felt confused by the experience of having a mother who came home and then went straight to her room and locked it. “He felt that he was not wanted.” Zondo said. Zondo said the feedback she has received on the letters is that the writing has been a much needed thing. “ I got a lot of feedback from people who said thank you so much for writing …It made me feel like I could help somebody who is in a similar situation of being engulfed by deep sadness and grief and loss and pain and all of that,” Zondo said.The book is available at most bookshops around the country for R240.24.What is the original purpose for Zondo to write her book?A. to keep her word to her sonB. to help her communityC. to share her story with peopleD. to give her energy and courage 25.What can we infer from paragragh3?A. Zondo wrote the letters to Riky Rick before he died.B. Zondo explained in the letters why Ricy Rick died .C. Zondo felt guilty because she ignored Ricy Rick’s feelings.D. Zondo locked herself in the room after Ricy Rick’s death.26.What does the underlined word engulfed in paragragh2 from the bottom mean?moved B. overcomeC. confusedD. attracted27.What is the purpose of this passage?A.to introduce a celebrityB. to discuss a problemC.to educate the publicD.to promote a bookCYou’ve just finished a cup of coffee at your favorite cafe. Now you're facing a trash bin, a recycling bin and a compost bin. What's the most planet-friendly thing to do with your cup?Many of us would choose the recycling bin—but that's often the wrong choice. In order to hold liquids, most paper coffee cups are made with a thin plastic lining, which makes separating these materials and recycling them difficult. In fact, the most sustainable option isn't available at the trash bin. It happens earlier, before you're handed a disposable (一次性的) cup in the first place.In two nationwide surveys in the U.S. that we conducted in October 2019 and March 2022, we found that people ignore waste reduction and reuse in favor of recycling. We call this tendency recycling preference and reduction ignoring. Our results show that a decades-long effort to educate the U.S. public about recycling has succeeded in some ways but failed in others. These efforts have made recycling an option that consumers see as important—but to the detriment(损害) of more sustainable options. Producing and disposing (处理) of goods is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and a public health threat, especially for communities that receive large quantities of waste. New research suggests that even when plastic does get recycled, it produces enormous amounts of microplastic pollution.Experts and advocates widely agree that humans are generating waste worldwide at levels that are unmanageable and unsustainable. They have long recommended tackling the waste problem by prioritizing source reduction strategies that prevent the creation of waste in the first place, rather than seeking to manage and decrease its impact later. Creating items that can be recycled is better from a sustainability angle than burning them in an incinerator or burying them in a landfill, but it still consumes energy and resources. In contrast, reducing waste generation conserves natural resources and avoids other negative environmental impacts throughout a product’s life.28.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. The paper coffee cup should be reused.B. The recycling bin doesn't live up to its name.C. The paper coffee cup can't be recycled.D. The recycling bin should be improved.29.Why do people prefer recycling when tackling waste?A. They have no other choice about waste disposal.B. It is the most environmentally friendly way.C. The previous education misled them to.D. It is the easiest and most sustainable option.30.Why is a recyclable product not the best choice?A. It will end up in a landfill.B. It will give off greenhouse gas. C. Energy and resources are needed to produce it.D. It produces a large amount of microplastic pollution.31.What is the best strategy to deal with your waste?A. reduceB. reuseC. recycleD. reproduceDGlobal education company, Cengage, has launched a subscription service that will give students access to thousands of digital products, including eTextbooks, online learning platforms and study tools covering over 600 courses.Vice President and General Manager of International Higher Education at Cengage, Andrew Robinson, said that Cengage Unlimited is designed to address one of the major challenges facing higher education and one worsened by the crisis over the last two years, namely fair and equal access to learning materials. “Affordable and accessible course materials can make the difference between a student dropping out or completing their degree. Robinson said.He explained that Cengage Unlimited for Institutions is not just another online learning offering - it is the only comprehensive service that includes access to everything a student needs to learn - eTextbooks, learning platforms, study tools, online homework and skill-building resources to develop employability skills. Subjects covered include accounting, science, maths, psychology and engineering, among many others.The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at University of Cape Town is using Cengage’s WebAssign, one of the platforms included in Cengage Unlimited for Institutions, to provide content, online study functionality, and efficient homework assigning and grading to a large Calculus course of 800 students. The platform is specifically designed for STEM subjects and provides course content, homework, tests and practice problems with instant assessment and has been shown to improve student grades.The Psychology Department at North-West University (NWU) used another of Cengage’s platforms, MindTap—also included in Cengage Unlimited, for their Introductory Psychology module to help a large group of students with their self-study and comprehension of key introductory concepts. MindTap is a fully customisable online teaching and assessment tool that includes videos, test banks, interactive study tools and access to eTextbooks.The economic crisis over the last two years had major impacts for students and institutions alike. During this time, Cengage worked closely with its customers to support the transition to remote learning. Throughout the process, Cengage developed a deeper insight into the ways e-Learning can be supported, Robinson said. 32. What is Cengage Unlimited aimed at?A. Helping the poor students complete the university education.B. Providing students with the same chance to get learning materials.C. Aiding the students dropping out to complete their degree.D.

They always played together and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school，they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Paragraph 1 Robert was fast sinking.

I’m writing to invite you to write an article for our column. The “English World” column, aimed to expose students to the English world and provide some English-learnig strategies, is very popular with us students. Nowadays many students have difficulty with English writing, who often find it challenging to express their thoughts clearly. In response to their puzzles, would you please write something about how to improve writing abilities? As an expert in English language, your expertise and guidance would be invaluable to all of us. By the way, could we have your article before June 6? Thank you for you time and consideration. Looking forward to your early reply.YoursLi Hua第二节(满分25分)One possible version:Robert was fast sinking. It appeared increasingly likely that Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the desperate screams, he realized there must be someone in need of help. So Henry promptly charged toward the riverbank, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without a moment’s hesitation. He arrived at Robert’s side precisely as he was making his final descent. With tremendous effort and at considerable personal risk,Henry managed to drag Robert to the safety of the shore. Worn out, Henry breathed a sigh of relief and a sense of achievement overwhelmed him. Thus, Robert’s life was saved. The instant he opened his eye after the narrow escape, he realized that it was Henry who came to his rescue even at risk of his own life. How ashamed he was at having called Henry a coward. In fact, Henry was the one who had true courage. He made an apology to Henry for their disrespectful conduct and asked for his forgiveness. Unexpectedly, Henry forgave him happily. The spark of friendship was rekindled, and everything went back to the normal track. To Robert, not only did he harvest a friend, but also learnt the true essence of courage :never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.(Text 1)M:It’s blowing hard. I wish it were a hot day.W:I think differently. It has cooled off. I can’t stand baking in the sun all day.(Text 2)M:So what do you advise?W:You should give up ice cream, and use this mouthwash regularly. Come and see me after three weeks if you’re still having toothaches.(Text 3)W:I’ve got visitors to come on Saturday and I’d like to have everything finished before then. Could you come to do up my house on Wednesday?M:I might not have the materials by then. What about the next day, Thursday?W:OK.(Text 4)W:Hey, what’s on your mind?M:The final exam. I’m not well prepared yet.W:You still have a week.M:Yeah, but seven days will fly past soon.(Text 5)W:What can I do for you, sir?M:I rent a house yesterday. Can you find someone to help me around?W:Our employees offer different assistance; what service do you want?M:I want to have the kitchen and bathroom cleaned.(Text 6)W:Did you hear that story about the sheep?M:No, I don’t think so. What was it about?W:They think sheep is related to global warming. You see, they reflect the sun back into the atmosphere because they’re so white.M:Oh yeah?W:And then the heat from the sun gets trapped, so it makes everything hotter.M:Come off it!W:Well, that’s what it says in the paper today.M:Hmm, I don’t believe even a word!(Text 7)W:Robert, how’s the special order of cakes for the Greenville Cafe coming along?M:I’m a little behind. When I turned on the mixing machine this morning, there was a strange noise. I needed to figure out what it was before going any further.W:Oh, I see. Do you think we’ll need to call someone to come and have a look at it?M:No, I took care of the problem. I just needed to replace a small part. And our driver can still bring these cakes to them on time. Everything will be ready at noon.(Text 8)W:So what did you do after graduation?M:Well, I traveled for one year, mostly in Europe and a little in South America.W:What did you do when you came back from your travels?M:Well, I worked in a small food company just outside the town.W:It says here you worked in their sales department. How long did you do that?M:I was there for three years and I worked in the sales department for two of those three years.W:Did you enjoy the work?M:Well, it was fun at the beginning and the pay wasn’t low, but it’s not a very large company and they only have a few customers in the area, so there was no space for promotion in the long run. That’s why working for an international company like yours would really interest me.W:OK, let’s go and get a cup of coffee and we can continue this conversation afterwards.(Text 9)W:You were born in the Canary Island, weren’t you? Do you go back there very often?M:Yeah, at least a few months every year. I have few friends there, but my mother still lives in the same house where I lived when I was a child.W:Can you tell me something about what it was like to grow up on the small island?M:It is a small and quiet island. At that time we had no TV but I loved the cinema, so I would go as often as possible. My sister Evangelina and I had lots of toys and we had great fun together.W:But your parents didn’t want you to be a shoe designer, did they?M:No, they had other ideas. They sent me to University of London to learn law. I dropped out and went to live in Paris and then New York. I wanted to be a designer, you see ...W:But when did your shoes come in?M:When I showed some of my designs to Diana Vreeland, the editor of the magazine Vogue, she told me that I shouldn’t waste my natural talent in the field of designing shoes. I was deeply inspired and began to make shoes. About one year later, I opened my first shop.(Text 10)W:Attention please! Now I will give you a brief introduction to the Winter Festival. It is a free event for all people to enjoy, and is organized by a team of volunteers. The first Winter Festival was introduced the year before last. Sadly due to a lack of funds no festival was held last year. This year the government may provide $15,000 to the festival. They also persuaded the businessmen around the town to offer the rest $5,000.There will be a free art exhibition on Friday 18th, Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th December in the Center Park of the town. The opening hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and there is an opening night only on Friday, from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Different from other exhibitions, this art exhibition is really a unique one because the public will have the chance to watch the paintings which are from the town’s school. And all the paintings are created by the students.It is great that the Festival is going to present a wonderful sound of music in the Main Exhibition Hall this year. This program aims to show some of the musical geniuses that we have in town. Everyone watching the performance had better not wear formal clothes, but fancy dress. And in the program, you will hear classical music, pop music, rock music and operas.
