Every day, little Laika searched for food and shelter through the streets and markets. One day, a man was approaching her and held out some food in one hand. Laika sniffed (闻) and slowly crept (爬) towards the treat. Whoosh! Laika was caught in the dogcatcher's net. She struggled to get free but it was no use. The scientists needed homeless dogs for some tests.
Life in the laboratory was difficult. Machine after machine, the scientists tested how Laika would handle the situation. The scientists liked Laika as she always stayed calm and did whatever they asked her to. Soon, Laika became one of the three dogs considered for a special mission in space. A rocket would be launched in less than a month and there would be a dog on board. No person or animal had been to outer space. Vets and scientists were unsure if it was safe. Dr. Vladimir Yazdovsky recalled that before heading to the launch pad, he took the dog home to play with his children. “I wanted to do something nice for her. I was afraid she had little time left to live.”
In October 1957, the rocket was ready. A special space suit was made just for Laika. The scientists said a teary goodbye and wished Laika good luck. Then, they put her in a tiny cabin in the rocket that was specially set up for her. Soon the engines roared to life. The noise was deafening and Laika's heart pounded. However, there was no turning back.
A small crowd watched as the gleaming rocket sped up through the sky and out of sight. People across the country cheered for the world's first true astronaut who carried on such a difficult and dangerous job. This tiny hero paved the way for many human astronauts to come. After a few other flights with dogs, the Soviet Union put the world's first human—Yuri Gagarin—into space on April 12, 1961.
24. What can be inferred about Laika?
A. She wasn't ready to go with the dogcatcher.
B. She wasn't used to the life in the laboratory.
C. She had been taken good care of by its owner.
D. She didn't get along well with the scientists.
25. Why did the man catch Laika?
A. He wanted to give her some food. B. She was needed to play with children.
C. He wanted to keep her as a pet. D. She was needed for scientific tests.
26. Why did the scientists say a teary goodbye to Laika?
A. They felt sorry for their strict training. B. The loud noise would make her deaf.
C. She probably wouldn't come back alive. D. She would suffer heat problems in the rocket.
27. In what way was Laika's role in space tasks important?
A. She was small enough for the space task. B. She could get used to noisy environment.
C. She helped to make human space tasks possible. D. She was able to continue living in the space task.
C
Exams cause a lot of worry: the silence of the hall; the ticking of the clock; the confident expression of the student who has finished 15 minutes early. It therefore seems hardly surprising that those who worry about taking tests do systematically worse than those who do not. What is, perhaps, unexpected, according to research published by Maria Theobald, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall which causes the problem. It is the pressure of revision.
Dr. Theobald theorised if anxiety was truly intervening (干预) a student's ability to transfer known information from brain to paper, then those with high levels of it would perform worse in a real exam than in a mock (模拟) or during online practice sessions.
She therefore invited 309 German medical students to participate in a test which consisted of 230 questions. During the 100 days before the actual papers, volunteers used a digital-learning platform which presented them with old exam questions and recorded their performance. They also sat a mock examination, clearly presented to them as such, 40 days before the real exam. To assess their levels of anxiety, they were asked, every day for 40 days in the run-up to the real exam and also on the test day, to respond on a five-point scale to statements like, “I feel tense and nervous.”
Dr. Theobald found that anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What it did predict was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the digital-learning activities. What actually hampered students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. The greater a student's anxiety in the days before the exam, the lower his or her knowledge-gain was during that period, leaving that student with less material to recall during the exam itself.
28. What does Paragraph 2 talk about?
A. The testing assumption. B. The experimental result.
C. The theoretic basis. D. The research method.
29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. What Dr. Theobald found was not what she expected.
B. Students with test-anxiety perform worse in real exams.
C. Students should have mock exams before the final exam.
D. A moderate level of stress brings better exam performance.
30. What does the underlined word “hampered” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Motivated. B. Confused. C. Restricted. D. Encouraged.
31. What is one of the findings of Dr. Theobald's research?
A. The exam is the source of students' anxiety.
B. Anxiety during exams does not cause bad results.
C. Those who worry about exams do worse than those who don't.
D. A change of approach to revision might help improve the results.
D
Technology has been around for a long time, and we've used it as a tool to communicate more rapidly and effectively. But in the past few years, technology has almost takes the place of conversation. People send messages back and forth, not realizing that they never have live contact with the other person. “That's OK, right?” one might ask. “We're still communicating. The relationship looks a little different, but we're still connecting back and forth.” One study showed that only 7 percent of communication is the words we use. Thirty-eight percent is our tone of voice, and 55 percent is body language. In face-to-face conversation, we're using all three. On the phone, we've lost the body language—so we're down to two. When our communication is completely through email, texting or social media, we're down to one.
Some people assume that technology is the enemy because it's robbing people of their conversational skills. Indeed, sharing words in print is a form of communication, but it doesn't convey the emotion that comes through tone of voice, facial expression, and body language. Written words can't hold or hug. Written words can't listen or make eye contact. When I wrote You Can't Text a Tough Conversation, I interviewed a lot of people. Most of them loved their technology. But most of them also felt like it had got out of control, and it was messing up their relationships in some way.
Technology isn't the enemy; it's just a tool. It's like a small sharp knife used by a doctor for doing an operation. In the hands of a skilled surgeon, it's good. In the hands of a crazed criminal, it's bad. Technology isn't going anywhere either. The key is figuring out how to get them to work together. It's like two porcupines(豪猪) that fall in love. They need each other, but have to learn how to keep from sticking each other and causing pain.
32. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Technology— the enemy or the tool?
B. Technology— the past or the future?
C. Technology— the traditional or the fashionable?
D. Technology—the modern or the ancient?
33. What will happen if our communication is completely through texting?
A. We'll lose 55 percent of the tools that help us connect.
B. We'll lose 45 percent of the tools that help us connect.
C. We'll lose 62 percent of the tools that help us connect.
D. We'll lose 93 percent of the tools that help us connect.
34. What does the author tend to agree about sharing words in print?
A. It becomes popular.
B. It lacks human touch.
C. It destroys many relationships.
D. It makes life much easier.
35. What can be inferred about technology from the last paragraph?
A. It can not go too far in relationships between people.
B. It can not take the place of traditional conversation.
C. Whether it's positive or negative depends on how we use it.
D. It should be used more smartly in the fields of medical care.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The QR-code menu—which you access by scanning a black-and-white square with your smartphone—has taken off. 36 But I hope not, because I hate those digital menus.
For restaurants, QR-code menus offer potential benefits beyond putting germ-averse(厌恶细菌的)customers at greater ease. In the near future, restaurants might use dynamic menus. 37 Besides, the prices of some dishes could also rise or fall to better match supply with demand.
38 QR-code menus will force a distraction during the dining. You may just be checking to see what you want your next drink to be. However, from there it's easy to start checking texts and emails.
Research conducted before the pandemic suggests that, even if everyone resists the temptation to check an incoming text message, merely having a phone out on the table makes a meal less fun for all involved. 39 The social-psychology researcher Ryan Dwyer and his colleagues randomly assigned some people to keep their phone out when dining with friends and others to put it away. “We found that groups assigned to use their phones enjoyed the experience less than groups that did not use their phones,” Dwyer said, “primarily due to the fact that participants with phones were more distracted.”
QR-code menus reduce privacy, too. 40 Many of the codes are actually generated by a different company that collects, uses, and then often shares your personal information. In fact, companies that provide QR codes to restaurants like to talk about all the personal information you are sharing along with that food order: your location, your gender, your age group, and other information about you and your period.
A. QR codes have been around for a while.
B. I came across a study published in 2021.
C. QR-code menus are not really an advance.
D. Dishes disappear from them when kitchen runs out.
E. It seems that they are likely to replace restaurant menus.
F. Diners who use them aren't just communicating with the restaurant.
G. QR codes also present a great data collection opportunity for restaurants.

W: We could start in Asia. We could go to China and help there for a while.
M: OK, let’s make that our first stop. Why don’t we spend the first month there?
W: Great. How about the next?
M: Well, you know I’ve always wanted to go to Africa. There are parts of Africa where people have almost no food and very little water. I feel it’s important that we do something to help there.
W: OK. We could probably spend two months in Africa before we go to America.
M: Yes. I’m looking forward to going to America too. W: We’re going there to help in the towns affected by the hurricanes and floods, right?
M: Yes. We need to help the people rebuild their homes and help the children that lost their families.
W: We can also try to do something in the areas affected by the forest fires, maybe help with the replanting or something.
M: Definitely! You know, I am so excited about this trip. We will help so many people and spend some important time together.
W: I’m really looking forward to sharing this experience with you too. Pity Mother
can’t go with us. She enjoys doing whatever she can to help others.

So, welcome to English Studies International. My name is Anna and I’m the Director of Studies.
All right, so the first thing, from 9 a.m. until 10:30, you’ll do some tests. You’ll have a written test that tests your grammar and your vocabulary, OK? We will also have a self-assessment for you. It doesn’t matter in what order you do the written test and the self-assessment. Then you will have an interview. That’s actually a speaking assessment. These three tests help us decide your level. At about half past ten, you can have a break.
After the break at about 10:45, Rebecca will be waiting for you in reception to give you your books. At eleven o’clock, please come back here to the Learning Centre, and Stewart, the manager, will give you an introduction to the Learning Centre at half past eleven. Then at midday, I will come back. You will meet me again and I’ll give you your timetables — your personal timetables that will tell you your class, your teacher and the rooms.
