A
Don’t miss out-save￡100 pp
We don’t think an excuse is required, but here is one of many great reasons why you should book your next ski holiday now-our saver week discount is coming to an end! All of our holidays are discounted by￡100 per person every week in January and mid-March.
Why do we recommend January skiing?
Undoubtedly your primary concern when choosing a ski holiday is the snow. With temperatures at their coldest and slopes (斜坡) at their quietest, it’s safe to say good snow conditions are almost guaranteed.
New year, new gear! For those of you renting equipment and/or clothing, you can be sure to find some brand new hire ready to carve through that fresh January powder.
If you’re looking to avoid the busy school holidays, you’ve hit a jackpot. The slopes are empty and you don’t have to wait long!
If you’re unsure about January, mid-March skiing could be for you.
March has an excellent track record for snowfall and you’re guaranteed to spend most lunch times bathing in the sun! March can offer the best of both worlds with fresh snow and blue bird days.
Similarly to January holidays, March is often far quieter than December and February periods. Remember, the sooner you can get up those lifts, the sooner you can slide down the freshly cleaned pistes (滑雪道).
We’re confident we have a ski holiday perfect for you. Don’t wait though, book before the end of the month to save ￡100 pp. Call us now at 0208 875 1957!
1. What is the major concern of people who want to take a ski holiday?
A. Price range. B. Snow conditions.
C. Temperature changes. D. Equipment rental.
2. Why is mid-March a special time for skiing?
A. It is far quieter than January.
B. It can help avoid busy school holidays.
C. It has a record for the lowest temperature.
D. It guarantees both fresh snow and sunny days.
3. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To spread knowledge about skiing.
B. To encourage more people to ski.
C. To offer skiers some suggestions.
D. To advertise a ski holiday discount.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. D

Jo Land was surprised when she realized how much her youngest son’s school uniform cost. “A jumper was￡25. A polo shirt was￡15,” she says. “If it was this expensive for us, how on earth must families with three or four children manage?”
In December 2021, Land put a box outside her house, with a sign reading, “School uniform drop-off”. She set up a Facebook group and asked people to drop good-quality used uniforms into the box. The operation started to grow almost immediately. “Some weeks I give out up to 48 uniforms,“ she says. People drive up and drop the clothing: she sorts through it, keeps it in her “stock room” and posts details about donations on the Facebook group. The first parent to message her gets the items for nothing. Land puts the items in a named bag and then returns it to the box. Recipients (接受者) can come and collect at their leisure.
“Being able to access good-quality preloved school uniforms has been a lifeline,“ says Kristina, a mother of two. ”It’s just amazing.“
“Every child going to school deserves to feel smart and proud,” Land says. “We don’t want children to go to school feeling negative, because that affects their learning. Land has noticed that people rarely take without also giving. Sometimes people leave flowers on the box, or they drop off some outgrown clothes too.
Right now, Land is thinking about all the people in her community who will struggle this winter and she gets so many messages from people who are absolutely desperate, because they cannot afford uniforms for their children. Her determination to ensure children can access the uniforms they deserve grows ever stronger.
4. What inspired Land to set up the free uniform exchange?
A. Her personal experience.
B. The appeals on Facebook.
C. Poor families’ complaints.
D. Her youngest son’s request.
5. What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. How the school uniforms are selected.
B. The importance of the Facebook group.
C. The popularity of the exchange project.
D. How the school uniform exchange works.
6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. School learning is associated with fashion.
B. Recipients are required to give by the project.
C. Many people in Land’s community need uniforms.
D. Land is motivated to design new uniforms for children.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Land?
A. Brave and grateful.
B. Honest and energetic.
C. Kind-hearted and creative.
D. Ambitious and humorous.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C

Nowadays, the term “quiet quitting” has taken over the Internet, meaning lying flat, or taking a break from the overwork. It appears to have originated from a TikTok video posted by Brian Creely. Creely showed an Insider article written by senior reporter Aki Ito. The headline read, “Fed up with long hours, many employees have quietly decided to take it easy at work rather than quit their jobs.” Creely said, “More people are quiet quitting instead of leaving.” The video has received nearly 100,000 likes and more than 4,000 comments, the vast majority describing the benefits of doing the bare minimum.
Despite a number of news outlets reporting that quiet quitting is a trend that is being encouraged, Insider found many users on the app were actually warning people against doing so.
Ashley Herd, a former employment lawyer, posted two videos about quiet quitting. In her videos, she argued that while limiting work to what is specified in the job description is fine, doing so quietly can be detrimental. “If someone is stressed out, they should feel able to have that conversation with their manager,” she said.
A TikToker and consultant Mary posted a video titled “Minorities should be careful quiet quitting”. In the video she said, “Unfortunately in America minorities are held to a different standard. We are looked at differently. So we have to go above and beyond to be successful. We can’t risk being regarded as not performing.”
In recent weeks, TikTokers have been warning workers that quiet quitting could lead to “quiet firing”, labeled as a new workplace trend. The phrase describes the longstanding practice of constructive dismissal—creating an environment that leads a worker to quit their job in order to avoid having to fire them. Creators are receiving hundreds of thousands of views that post about quiet firing and call out managers who employ the practice.
8. What aspect of quiet quitting is introduced in paragraph 1?
A. Its origin. B. Its innovation. C. Its value. D. Its standard.
9. What does the underlined word “detrimental” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Strange. B. Harmful. C. Vital. D. Effective.
10. What is Mary’s opinion on minorities at work?
A. They needn’t perform well.
B. They should make greater efforts.
C. They have better chances of success.
D. They are treated as equally as others.
11. Which of the following can be a sign of quiet firing in the workplace?
A. The boss asks a worker to leave the job.
B. The boss allows a worker flexible working hours.
C. The boss puts off a worker’s promotion on purpose.
D. The boss provides a worker with a new environment.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了国外的职场中出现的“安静退出”现象及人们对这种现象的看法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“It appears to have originated from a TikTok video posted by Brian Creely.”（它似乎起源于布莱恩·克莱利发布的TikTok视频。）和“Fed up with long hours, many employees have quietly decided to take it easy at work rather than quit their jobs.”（受够了长时间的工作，许多员工已经悄悄决定在工作中要放松，而不是辞职。）可知，第一段主要介绍了“安静退出”这一说法的起源，它似乎起源于布莱恩·克莱利发布的TikTok视频，指许多员工受够了长时间的工作，悄悄决定在工作中要放松，而不是辞职，由此可知，第一段主要介绍了“安静退出”这一说法的起源。故选A项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线单词下文““If someone is stressed out, they should feel able to have that conversation with their manager,” she said.”（她说：“如果有人感到压力过大，他们应该能够与经理进行对话。”）可知，Ashley Herd认为如果你在工作中感觉压力过大，应该与经理谈谈，而不是“安静退出”，由此可知，她认为“安静退出”的行为是有害的，是不可取的，“Harmful”意为“有害的”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“In the video, she said, “Unfortunately in America minorities are held to a different standard. We are looked at differently. So we have to go above and beyond to be successful. We can’t risk being regarded as not performing.””（在视频中，她说，“不幸的是，在美国，少数族裔被视为不同的标准。我们受到不同的看待。因此，我们必须超越极限才能获得成功。我们不能冒险被视为没有表现。”）可知，玛丽认为少数族裔受到不同的看待，他们必须付出更多努力才能获得成功，由此可知，玛丽认为工作中的少数族裔应该做出更大的努力。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“The phrase describes the longstanding practice of constructive dismissal—creating an environment that leads a worker to quit their job in order to avoid having to fire them.”（这个短语描述了推定解雇的长期做法——创造了一种环境，导致工人辞职，以避免解雇他们。）可知，“安静解雇”指创造了一种环境，导致工人辞职，以避免解雇他们，浏览选项，“The boss puts off a worker’s promotion on purpose.”意为“老板故意推迟工人的晋升。”这种做法会导致工人主动辞职，不用老板解雇他们，由此可知，“The boss puts off a worker’s promotion on purpose.”是工作场所“安静解雇”的预兆。故选C项。
D
Trick or treat! With Halloween around the corner, kids are about to collect bags full of candy, including chocolate. Meanwhile, a group of researchers in the Netherlands has been experimenting with a method to make chocolate more of a “treat” than ever.
While chocolate is delicious for many reasons, this study focused on how it cracks when it is bitten. Corentin Coulais, the researcher teaching physics at the University of Amsterdam says, “To better how it feels in the mouth, we gave ‘geometry (几何学)’ to chocolate, which would then change the way it breaks.”
Giving it “geometry” involved using a 3D printer to produce dark chocolate in various ways. Rather than creating a flat, solid piece, the machine printed it into a simple S-shape, or zigzagged super-thin layers back-and-forth several times, or into increasingly complicated spirals (螺旋形). The resulting pieces were fed to 10 eager volunteers. It turned out that the crunchiest (最松脆的)—while remaining easy to bite—was the chocolate shaped into fairly complicated spirals. It was also the top tasting experience.
The researchers also used a machine to crack the various shapes and see which was the crunchiest. Plus, they recorded the sounds of the cracking, because a pleasurable eating experience doesn’t only take place in the mouth, but can be affected by the noises in your head. The general winner remained that spiral.
“It’s too early to say whether chocolate will soon be made differently,” Coulais says.
He is working with a couple of organizations to see how it might be applied in materials other than chocolate—ones that might be used in vehicles, for example, to make them less dangerous when they crash.
Understanding cracking could make life safer—in cars or airplanes or wearing helmets. It could also make those Halloween treats even tastier.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By discussing a case.
B. By making a prediction.
C By presenting a scene.
D. By explaining a phenomenon.
13. What is the function of the 3D printer used in the experiment?
A. To explore the way chocolate breaks.
B. To create chocolate in various shapes.
C. To improve chocolate tasting experience.
D. To record the sounds of chocolate cracking.
14. What does Coulais most expect after the study?
A. The attraction of Halloween treats.
B. The change in chocolate production.
C. The growing awareness of driving safety.
D. The application of the findings in other fields.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Geometry makes a tastier chocolate
B. Complicated spirals are the champion
C. A knowledge of cracking matters a lot
D. The crunchiest chocolate is newly born
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
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。
Shoppers are being warned by consumer advocates of a new wave of “shrinkflation (缩水式通胀)”— where companies shrink the net weight of a prepackaged product while still charging the same price, or sometimes more. ___16___
The Queensland Consumers’ Association (QCA) has sounded the alarm on the issue, saying it’s already received reports of consumers getting less value for money at the checkout.
___17___ This practice has been a common issue in Australia too,with eagle-eyed members of CHOICE’s Community forum sharing examples of shrinkage since 2016, calling out everything from pet food to breakfast cereal(谷类食物) .
Pet food label Purina One said it had been forced to shrink the sizes of its products to keep them affordable for shoppers. ___18___ In fact, we’ve discovered several examples in the supermarket cereal shelf. One is Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut, which sold for $6 for 670g in 2019, but now sells for $9 for 640g in 2022.
The QCA says the easiest way to know if companies are sizing down your favourite products is to check the weight and quantity displayed on the packaging. ___19___ You can also check the unit price. The unit price breaks down the cost of a product into standard units of measurement, showing how much an item costs per 100g. If a product has undergone changes in both price and quantity, unit pricing will tell you whether you’re still getting the same value for money as before. ___20___
A. However, it’s not just pet products.
B. Once a product gets smaller, it often stays that way.
C. The issue has already been making headlines in the US.
D. But in some cases, companies’ profits are also increasing sharply.
E. By these numbers, you can quickly spot if your supermarket products shrink.
F. If you’re not, it can help you find a different pack size that is worth the money.
G. Companies have admitted reducing the size of their goods due to increasing costs.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了消费者权益保护组织警告消费者注意新一波的“缩水式通货膨胀”，即企业缩小预先包装产品的净重，但价格仍然相同，有时甚至更高。一些公司承认，由于成本增加，他们缩小了商品的尺寸。与此同时，文章也介绍了一些识别产品是否缩水的方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Shoppers are being warned by consumer advocates of a new wave of “shrinkflation”— where companies shrink the net weight of a prepackaged product while still charging the same price, or sometimes more.(消费者权益保护组织警告消费者注意新一波的“缩水式通货膨胀”，即企业缩小预先包装产品的净重，但价格仍然相同，有时甚至更高)”可知，此处讲的是企业缩小预先包装产品的净重，但价格仍然相同，有时甚至更高。由此可知，选项G项Companies have admitted reducing the size of their goods due to increasing costs.(一些公司承认，由于成本增加，他们缩小了商品的尺寸)和上文内容相关，为上文内容语意的递进。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据下文“This practice has been a common issue in Australia too, with eagle-eyed members of CHOICE’s Community forum sharing examples of shrinkage since 2016, calling out everything from pet food to breakfast cereal.(这种做法在澳大利亚也是一个普遍问题，自2016年以来，CHOICE社区论坛上眼尖的成员分享了缩水的例子，呼吁从宠物食品到早餐麦片的所有东西)”可知，提到这种做法在澳大利亚也是一个普遍问题。由此推知，空格处内容为这个问题在某些地方已经出现。由此可知，选项C项The issue has already been making headlines in the US.(这个问题已经成为美国的头条新闻)符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。
【18题详解】
上文“Pet food label Purina One said it had been forced to shrink the sizes of its products to keep them affordable for shoppers.(宠物食品品牌Purina One表示，他们被迫缩小了产品的尺寸，以保证消费者买得起)”提到宠物产品。下文“In fact, we’ve discovered several examples in the supermarket cereal shelf.(事实上，我们已经在超市的麦片货架上发现了几个例子)”可知，提到麦片食品。故可推断空格处内容为这个问题不仅仅是针对宠物产品。由此可知，选项A项However, it’s not just pet products.(然而，这不仅仅是宠物产品)符合此推断，上下文语意连贯，起到承上启下的作用。故选A项。
【19题详解】
上文“The QCA says the easiest way to know if companies are sizing down your favourite products is to check the weight and quantity displayed on the packaging.(QCA表示，要知道公司是否在缩小你最喜欢的产品的尺寸，最简单的方法就是检查包装上显示的重量和数量)”提到简单的方法就是检查包装上显示的重量和数量。由此可知，选项E项By these numbers, you can quickly spot if your supermarket products shrink.(通过这些数字，你可以很快发现你的超市产品是否缩水了)中的these numbers指的就是上文的包装上显示的重量和数量，上下文语意连贯，为上文内容的语意递进。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“If a product has undergone changes in both price and quantity, unit pricing will tell you whether you’re still getting the same value for money as before.(如果一件产品的价格和数量都发生了变化，单位定价会告诉你你是否仍然和以前一样物有所值)”可知，此处讲的是正向条件和结果。由此可知，选项F项If you’re not, it can help you find a different pack size that is worth the money.(如果你没有，它可以帮助你找到一个物有所值不同包装大小的产品)为反向条件和结果，和上文内容相呼应，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。

【36题详解】
考查从属连词。句意：自15世纪中国商人在印度尼西亚各地建立唐人街，开启华人在世界各地数百年的移民历程以来，身份认同一直是海外华人的一个重要话题。根据句意以及该句中的has been现在完成时可知，此处为从属连词since“自从”引导的时间状语从句。故填since。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：自15世纪中国商人在印度尼西亚各地建立唐人街，开启华人在世界各地数百年的移民历程以来，身份认同一直是海外华人的一个重要话题。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，因动词kick off和逻辑主语Chinese traders为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填kicking。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意：这些移民浪潮的后代塑造了他们每一个新家园，又被他们的新家园所塑造。由空后new homes为名词短语可知，此处为形容词性物主代词。故填their。

考查定语从句。句意：“粤菜特别看重新鲜的食材，所以我父母喜欢在太平洋西海岸寻找最好的食材，”华裔加拿大美食作家、中餐厅奖(Chinese Restaurant Awards)创始人(Lee F. Man)说。分析句子可知，该空引导限制性定语从句，先行词the best指物，关系词在从句中作主语成分，由于先行词the best为最高级形式，所以为关系代词只能为that。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：爸爸抓的鱼，妈妈采的白菜，还有当地养的鸡，都上了我们的餐桌。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰前面的名词cabbages，因cabbages和动词gather为被动关系，所以为过去分词形式。故填gathered。
【43题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：爸爸抓的鱼，妈妈采的白菜，还有当地养的鸡，都上了我们的餐桌。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语make one’s way to“前往，向……走去”，满足句意要求。故填to。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：许多受访者将厨房描述为了解真实自我的窗口。根据句意以及主语Many interviewees为复数名词可知，此处为名词self的复数形式selves“自我”和主语相呼应，满足句意要求。故填selves。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：加拿大华裔厨师 (Gabe Chan)在采访中说，“中餐在我们之前就存在了，在我们之后还会存在很长时间。根据句意以及空后Chinese-Canadian chef为单数名词可知，此处为泛指“一个加拿大华裔厨师”，为泛指概念，结合Chinese为首音节辅音单词，所以为不定冠词a的填入。故填a。

47. 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。
Nowadays, many people hurry to get from one place to another as efficiently as possible that those who enjoy shooting the breeze—chatting for fun—are often left without eager participants. But not everyone is going through life just looking ahead, and that’s a good thing.
Justen Crumpton from Hueytown, Alabama, is one of those people who enjoy talking to complete strangers. In her own words, “If you know me at all, you know, I love to involve myself in others’ conversations, even if they are complete strangers.” At times, that has annoyed her family, but in November it had a wholly unexpected effect.
On Nov. 7, the Alabama mother was shocked by the kindness of a stranger who treated her to an early Christmas gift after a chance encounter. As a mom with three girls and a new baby boy, she didn’t buy things for herself a lot. That day, Crumpton went with her mom and sister to try and finish up Christmas shopping, wearing her new born boy in a baby wrap.
As they were walking along after doing some shopping, Crumpton saw two men standing near a Von Maur UGGs display highlighting a particular pair of shoes that happened to be the ones she’d been eying for the last 5 years. Seeing her opportunity for a little pleasant casual talk, she paused and jokingly offered the men shopping advice, “If you are shopping for your girl, then get her these,” pointing to a certain pair. Then she told them she had been asking for them for the past five years. She laughed and started to walk away. While at that moment, one of the men said in surprise “FIVE YEARS!” She turned around and laughed some more, saying “yes!” and was joyfully ready to continue her way.
注意：

She felt moved walking away with the shoes.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “Oh, and you have a baby,” the man said. “Wait right there.” She was puzzled and didn’t know what the man was going to do. After a while, the man came back with a box in his hand. He handed the box to Crumpton and said “Merry Christmas!” She was surprised to open the box and found the shoes that she had been longing for. She refused to accept the gift. The man smiled and said, “You deserve the gift because of your kindness.”
She felt moved walking away with the shoes. After returning home, she told her three daughters about her experience. She smiled at her daughters and asked, “What can you learn from this experience?” The girls thought for a while and said seriously, “We should help strangers.” She smiled with relief. We shouldn’t go through life just looking ahead. We should learn to stop, pay attention to people and things around us, and help people in need, which will bring us unexpected surprises.
