Born on January 15,1622,Molière-real name Jean-Baptiste Poquelin-remains as central to French culture as Shakespeare to the English-speaking world.

Molière was born into a prosperous household. After studying civil law at the University of Orléans,despite his father's attempts to take on the royal appointment of his father,it was to acting that the young Jean-Baptiste was irresistibly drawn. Acting was considered a disgraceful pursuit at the time,and the young actor lost his father's affection entirely when he founded a theater called L'Illustre Théâtre in 1643.Shortly thereafter, Jean-Baptiste adopted the pen name, Molière.

L'Illustre Theâtre survived for over two years, eventually overcome by debt, and Molière ended up completing a 24-hour period in prison. After his imprisonment, the French playwright fled Paris at 23 years old and joined a troupe（剧团） of actors． The young actor spent 12 years traveling the country with his theater troupe, performing in small towns and beginning his own work as a writer.

In 1658,Molière returned to Paris and performed for King Louis XIV,who enjoyed his work immensely.The king awarded him an annual pension, and became a frequent defender of the writer＇s work despite political hatred from influential courtiers（侍臣）.Molière wrote his first great comedy after settling back in Paris. Affected Young Ladies(1659)mocks the pretensions of upper-class Parisian women.The play angered several important people, a pattern that would be repeated over the next 14 years, as Molière's life acquired a long list of enemies both political and artistic. Over the next 15 years, he wrote over 30 plays, acting in many of them, while in the meantime managing his own theater company. On February 17, 1673,Molière died of tuberculosis（肺结核）contracted years earlier after a performance.

24. What did Molière's father want him to do?

A.Be an actor.

C.Runa theater company.

B.Adopt a new name.

D.Follow in his father's footsteps.

25. What most probably made Molière leave Paris?

A.His financial problem.

B.Tiredness of acting.

C.His failure as an actor.

D.Terible  relationship with his colleagues.

26.What features most of Molière's plays?

A.Social harmony.

B.Artistic skills.

C.The fancy court life.

D.The ugliness of the upper-class.

27. Which of the following best describes Moliere?

Regenerative tourism is concept that is gaining attraction in the travel industry. It is different from sustainable tourism in that it goes beyond just minimizing the negative impact of tourism. It is a philosophy that aims to not only minimize the negative impact of tourism but also to actively contribute to the regeneration of local ecosystems, economies, and cultures.

The concept of regenerative tourism is not new. Native communities around the world have been practicing regenerative tourism for centuries. However, it has gained renewed interest in recent years due to the growing awareness of the impact of tourism on the environment and the need for sustainable travel practices, particularly post-pandemic-indeed it could even be argued that, as the global tourism industry and those who depend on it start to recover, tourism in itself is a regenerative act.

One example of regenerative tourism is ecotourism. Ecotourism involves traveling to natural areas with the aim of learning about and conserving the environment. It involves activities such as hiking, bird watching, and wildlife viewing. Another example of regenerative tourism is community-based tourism. Community-based tourism involves staying with local communities and participating in their cultural activities, such as our Buffalo Curd Experience in Sri Lanka, or our Rice Wine Trek in Laos. Regenerative tourism can also involve the use of sustainable and regenerative practices in the tourism industry itself. For example, hotels can use renewable energy sources, reduce their water consumption, and use sustainable materials in their construction.

The benefits of regenerative tourism are many. However, carrying out regenerative tourism practices requires a shift in mindset and a commitment to sustainability. It requires tourism businesses to not only minimize their negative impact but to actively contribute to the regeneration of the environment and communities. It requires tourists to be conscious of their impact and to choose travel options in line with their values.

In conclusion, regenerative tourism is a promising concept that has the potential to transform the travel industry. By actively contributing to the regeneration of local ecosystems, economies, and cultures, regenerative tourism can create a better future for both people and the planet.

28.What is the aim of the regenerative tourism?

A.To attract more investments.

B. To highlight the advantages of tourism.

C.To protect conventional economy and culture.

D. To promote a renewable and sustainable tourism.

29.Why has the regenerative tourism regained public interest recently?

A.Tourism industry has globally boomed.

B.People have suffered from the pandemic.

C.People show more concern about environment.

D. Regenerative tourism has been practised for long.

30.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A.The definition of ecotourism.

B. The illustration of regenerative tourism.

C. Environmental conservation practices.

D.Reasonable doubts about regenerative tourism.

31.What might the writer agree with according to the last two paragraphs?

A.Regenerative tourism has a bright future.

B. Tourists can choose whatever travel they like.

C.Travel industry is able to transform regenerative tourism.

D.Regenerative tourism can be practiced in traditional ways.

People may wonder after using up Earth entirely, where are we going?

The most common target is our neighbour Mars. It is about half the size of Earth. From an astronomer's perspective, Mars is Earth's identical twin. And Mars has been in the news a lot lately, promoted as a possible homeland for humanity in the near future. While human-led missions to Mars seem likely in the coming decades, what are our prospects of long-term habitation on Mars? Present-day Mars is a cold, dry world with a very thin atmosphere. Its average surface pressure is less than 1 per cent of Earth's. Surviving without a pressure suit in such an environment is impossible. The surface temperature ranges from 30°C in the summer, down to-140°C in the winter; these extreme temperature changes are due to the thin atmosphere on Mars.

Despite these clear challenges, proposals for changing Mars into a world suitable for long-term human habitation abound（大量出现）.Mars is further from the Sun than Earth，so it would require significantly more greenhouse gases to achieve a temperature similar to Earth's. Thickening the atmosphere by releasing CO2 in the Martian surface is the most popular “solution” to the thin atmosphere on Mars. However, every suggested method of releasing the carbon stored in Mars requires technology and resources far beyond what we are currently capable of. What's more, a recent NASA study determined that there isn't even enough CO2 on Mars to warm it sufficiently.

Even if we could find enough CO2, we would still be left with an atmosphere we couldn't breathe. Earth's atmosphere contains only 0.04 per cent CO2, and we cannot tolerate an atmosphere high in CO2. For an atmosphere with Earth's atmospheric pressure, CO2 levels as high as 1 per cent can cause sleepiness in humans, and once we reach levels of 10 per cent CO2, we will suffocate even if there is abundant oxygen. The proposed absolute best-case scenario （设 想）for changing Mars leaves us with an atmosphere we are incapable of breathing.

Living on a warming Earth presents many challenges. Scientists study Mars and other planets to better understand ourselves. In searching the universe, we are not looking for an escape to our problems: Earth is our unique and only home in the universe. There is no planet B.

32. What contributes to the extreme temperature changes on Mars?

A.Its small size.

B.Its thin atmosphere.

C.Its low surface pressure.

D. Its significant seasonal changes.

33.What might be suggested for changing Mars into a habitable planet?

A.Reducing CO2 stored on Mars.

B. Increasing emissions of CO2 on Mars.

C.Building more greenhouses to keep warm.

D. Shortening the distance between Mars and the Sun.

34. What does the underlined word “suffocate" mean in Paragraph4?

A.Choke.

B.Faint.

C.Hurt.

D.Explode..

35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A.Is there planet B?

B.How to survive on Mars?

C.What life will be like on Mars?

D.Mars or Earth-must we choose?

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。

Scientists and researchers have long sought to understand why people cry when experiencing joy or happiness. 36 Over the decades, scientists and researchers have thought up theories to explain why happy crying occurs.

37 An early theory suggested that happy crying happened because people bottled up their feelings. This meant that people who cried when experiencing something joyous had feelings of sadness they hadn't addressed. Many researchers have contradicted the theory over the years, but it appears to be one of the earliest attempts to understand why we cry when we are happy.

Crying may regulate your body. Tears contain enzymes, lipids and metabolites. But emotional tears might also include other proteins and hormones. It is hypothesized that release of stress hormones may help control the body＇s physical and emotional homeostasis（动态平衡）．38

It fosters vulnerability and social connection. Crying in any situation could also be our way of showing vulnerability as human beings.              39              This happens when we cry because of a happy or sad event. Scientists believe that crying is a way of establishing a social connection with other people.

You feel powerless over your emotions. Yet other scientists suggest that all types of crying are results of perceived feelings of frustration, helplessness, and surrender. Crying almost feels unavoidable when people experience a strong emotion, whether it's joy, frustration, or anger.

Though you might not always allow your tears free fall, you often feel them coming on. Some research suggests that this is because crying can help you manage strong emotions.              40

Therefore, while you might be experiencing a happy or joyous occasion, you might find the emotion overwhelming. Crying helps you release some of this emotion.

A.You have bottled-up feelings.

B.You lose control of your emotions.

C.When we cry, we signal to others to empathize with us.

D. Stress hormones may help calm you and regulate your mood.

E.When you cry, it feels like you are ridding some of these emotions.

F.Crying can be confusing to witness on a joyous occasion, but it happens often.

G.Crying for whatever reason has benefits for both your mental and physical well-being.

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。

Standing at the Police Outpost Lake's edge, I was fishing with lsaiah, my cousin, our fishing tackle box nearby on the shore. Actually, I'd learned  to fish from my dad. He’d taught more  to fish alone, in silence, lost in              my own thoughts. Like meditation. He'd taught me everything I knew about fishing. Then, he passed away.

“Jacob, where should I stand?" asked Isaiah.

“Be quiet or else we won't catch any fish,” I whispered.

Isaiah frowned，pouting（撅嘴），but it was＂message received.”

"Why do I have to be so quiet? "asked quietly Isaiah. “All those birds are making way more noise than I ever could!”

I ignored him. Pulling back on my rod, squinting into the glare of the sun. Out of the corner of my eye，I caught a glimpse of a few great northern loons（潜鸟） gathering together not far from the shoreline. My mind traveled back to the past. My dad had been a fish and wildlife officer. He loved his job, especially the part where he protected nature from humans. When he returned, we sat on the couch together, and he amused me with stories of life on the road. He once mentioned the loon could  easily stab（刺） people to death with its beak！

Suddenly, Isaiah's voice brought me back, “Look, something was coming.” Following the direction, he was pointing, I saw a loon, wailing and making sounds, swam away from the group, toward us.

Walking into the water, getting closer to the loon, we both saw thin wire wrapped around its neck and blood spots by its wing. Fishing line maybe？ Was it the hook（钩）on the line that made it bleed? Was the loon asking us for help?

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1: Reaching down, I touched its head, my heart racing.

Paragraph 2: Afraid, I held it out at arm's length, and Isaiah cut away the fishing line using the scissors.
