What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating about what to give my father.My dad is a hard person to buy something for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone.The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming and underneath a poem by William Blake.The flower, which was a lone dandelion(蒲公英)standing against the bright blue sky,inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I was ready to create my gift.1 sent the photo of the cream colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details, another poem came to mind.The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other.I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it.The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching,I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood,i felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.

Independent living at home is the ideal for every aging person.But a fall or other health threatening incidents can change everything rapidly.
The wearable“panic buttons" introduced in the late 1980s were a great advance.But they only work if people actually wear them and can reach the button in an emergency.Today there are passive wearables that automatically detect falls, and camera-based systems to monitor elder safety.
Coming from a 40-year career in the semiconductor and wireless communication field Rafi Zack decided to find a better alternative.“People aren’t devoted to wearing small devices and camera-based systems are an invasion(侵犯)of privacy,”he points out. “The most challenging aspect is a fall. How fast we can detect a fall matters because the medical situation worsens quickly. Sometimes people stay on the floor for a long time. We have to find out how to solve that problem.
Zack is a co-founder,CEO and vice president of R&Dat EchoCare Technologies which has developed ECHO (Elderly Care Home Observer),a cloud-connected monitor based on radar technology and machine learning.
Because radar sees through walls. one ECHO unit fixed on the ceiling or wall can monitor one person (or two persons. in a future version) in a standard sized apartment in a senior living facility. The device detects falls, breathing difficulties, drowning in a bathtub and other dangerous events. It gives out warnings to potential health worsening conditions by continuously monitoring and analyzing the person's location，posture(姿势)，motion and breath. EchoCare tested the device in the United States,Japan, Australia and Israel.ECHO was certified(认证)in 2019 in Japan with the most aging population in the world.
“Bathrooms were the main testing area where about 17.000 deadly accidents happen annually," said SMK Director and Executive Vice President Tetsuo Hara.“Bathroom makers. home security service providers and nursing homes are highly interested in EchoCares solution.”Zack noted,“As more and more elder people live alone as a result of social distancing, there is an increasing need to monitor them without the burden of wearables or privacy-invading cameras."
28. What can we learn about passive wearables?
A. People must touch a button to inform an emergency.
B.They have to be fixed in a small apartment.
C.They can discover that someone has fallen.
D. People invented them in the late 1980s.
29.What does the new device watch out for?
①What the person has for a meal.
②The exact place where the person is.
③When the person goes to sleep or gets up.
④The position in which the person stands or sits.
⑤How the person takes into air and sends it out.
A.②③⑤ B. ①②④ C.②④⑤ D.③④⑤
30.Why is there an increasing number of people living by themselves?
A.Due to digital technology.
B. On account of social distancing.
C.Owing to their psychological problems.
D.Because of the changing sense of values.
31. In which column of a website might you find the text?
A. Politics. B. Tourism. C.Culture. D. Innovation.
D
On the night of November 25,the treasurer,Jim Chalmers,delivered Labor's first budget since its election win earlier in 2022, and it painted a depressing picture of what the future holds for many Australians, Chalmers said Australia is facing the prospect of a third global downturn in a decade and a half. “This time not a financial crisis or a pandemic, but a war driving high prices and higher interest rates here and around the world, and the risk of another global recession(衰退),” he said.
For the average Australian, the budget signaled higher living costs-with inflation continuing to rise to 7.75 percent by December, according to Chalmers back in July, unemployment expected to rise despite thousands of job vacancies around the country,and energy costs expected to rise 56 percent by the end of 2023
The big announcement from the treasurer was that the government,along with the states and territories, plans to build a million homes starting from 2024.No details were released. That is a noble ambition, but Australia is hard pressed to find the tradespeople(商人)to finish the homes that are being built today,not to mention skyrocketing increases in the cost of materials.
Labor's first budget under the leadership of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese did not include any short-term plans to bring down rental prices or to provide relief for tenants struggling with the cost of living.
Matt Grudnoff, a senior economist and director of the Australia Institute's economics program, said,“How is it that in Australia, one of the richest countries in the world, we have a housing crisis where hundreds of thousands of renters can't afford a roof over thei head? To figure out why rents are rising quickly, we need to look at the broader political problem: we have spent about two decades trying to promote the housing market crazily and we have, unfortunately, succeeded. ”
Australian Council of Social Service CEO Cassandra Goldie said,“We remain deeply concerned for people who have the least and are in chronic financial distress(窘迫)-people who are unemployed, single parents, people with disabilities, students and people on temporary visas."There is not enough in this budget to help them right now, she reveale.
32.How is the third global downturn in a decade and a half special according to Chalmers
A. It is owing to high prices
B. It is due to the pandemic.
C. It is because of an economic crisis.
D.It is on account of lower interest rates.
33. What does the underlined word“tenant”in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Someone whose job involves skilled practical work.
B. Someone who pays money for the place they live in.
C. A poor person of low social status who works on the land.
D. A person who moves from one place to another to find work.
34.Why did Matt Grudnoff say those words in paragraph 5?
A.Mainly to express the success of former Australia's housing policies.
B. Mainly to give advice on current Australia's housing policies.
C.Mainly to appreciate current Australia's housing policies
D.Mainly to blame former Australia's housing policies.
35.What can be the best title for the news report?
A.Labor's election win in Australia earlier in 2022
B. Australians face higher costs as millions need housing
C. In Australia energy costs expected to rise 56 percent by the end of 2023
D. Unemployment supposed to rise despite thousands of job vacancies around Australia

第一节
One possible version: Dear Bruce,
How are you going recently? Thanks for your e mail last time. I am always fond of American culture. Recently,I am focusing my attention on American festivals.
When it comes to American festivals, what attracts me most is Halloween. Since I have never spent the festival in America in person,I know little about it.I would appreciate it greatly if you can tell me something about it. My questions are as follows:How did it come into being? How and when do poople celebrate it? What's its significance?
I hope you can give me assistance with these problems and thank you in advance. Best wishes!
Yours,
第二节 Li Hua
One possible version:
“How did you change yourselfand manage to go to college?”Allen asked.Then.Mr.Black began to tell Allen his story.“At that time,Iusually skipped classes and every teacher was seemly used to that except Mr. Howard.He tried to find me and took me to school again and again, so finally I followed his instruction, trying not to meet his disappointed eyes,And he noticed my change and talked with me about future patiently. It was the first time that I had heard somebody who advised me to further my education and I began to study hard to be admitted to a college with the help of the scholarships. And finally,I made it."
Allen thought he could also succeed ifhe put his heart into his studies,So he began to listen to the teachers carefully in class and finish his homework by himsell.Fortunately,Mr.Black was willing to help him make up for what he had missed before, and other teachers were all glad to see his change and helped him with his lessons with patience. Eventually, with Allen's effort and his teachers’support,he was accepted into a famous college and became a doctor.
