一、阅读理解
Wanted: “Golden taste buds” and a very sweet tooth
What if you've got to eat candy all day for your job?
There is a job that can include these duties, which is called being a “taste tester”. The Candy Funhouse is a candy company in Canada. Right now, it is hiring a taste tester. The job's name is “chief candy officer”.
Candy Funhouse put up an ad for the job. The ad says the chief candy officer will be in charge of “all things fun”, so it's special. The person who gets this job will have to like eating candy. Do you know how much? More than 100 pieces a day on average!
Even Kids Can Apply
Many people think this job sounds pretty fun. The job is even open to kids! Are you 5 or older? Then you can apply!
Do you want this job? If you say yes, you need “golden taste buds(味蕾)” and “an obvious sweet tooth”, the ad says. You cannot be allergic to anything. You also need ideas about how to sell more candy, or how to make the candy better.
The company wants someone with a great sense of taste, though it will also provide some training.
This is because taste testers need to know a lot about food for their job.
Taste Testing Isn't Just Eating Candy
As a taste tester for a candy company, you have to know how to talk about taste. You also have to understand different textures(口味). A texture is the way something feels when you eat it. For example, the texture of toast is sharp, firm and fresh. The texture of yoghurt is smooth. All in all, taste testers do more than eat candy. They should be aware of how to make sure their company has high-quality products.
1、What makes the job special?
A. Needing a lot of tests. B. Being full of fun.
C. Suiting children under 5. D. Focusing on sweet food.
2、Who is most likely to be employed?
A. An entertainer. B. A salesman. C. A sweet lover. D. A career cook.
3、What's the major duty of the taste tester?
A. Telling taste apart. B. Selling products.
C. Making things fun. D. Offering training.
Franco Bergamino is like a surprise “hidden recipe” among young people in southwest China's
Chongqing Municipality, where the 62-year-old Italian chef runs a dessert house called Mimosa.
The dessert house serves wine jelly with green pepper cheese, jasmine mousse and peach-Oolong cake—fusion(融合) desserts that combine Italian specialties with local Chinese ingredients(原料).
Bergamino used to run two dessert houses in his hometown of Turin, both having a history of 90 years. In 2016, he settled in Chongqing and set up a dessert workshop.
“I especially like Chongqing, where the food and culture are completely different from my hometown. Life here is like ‘the other side of the coin’,” he said.
With the help of his local English-speaking friends, he overcame the language barrier and even learned some Chongqing dialects(方言). More importantly, he has got used to the Chinese table culture of “sharing food together”.
Bergamino said, back in Turin, frequent customers to his shop would buy the same desserts and they would be disappointed if they were sold out. The situation in Chongqing, however, is very different. Customers expect different desserts each month, and they would be disappointed if the dessert menu stayed the same, he said.
From 2016 to 2022, Bergamino felt a huge change in the taste of Chinese customers. “In the past, Chinese guests always said that my desserts were too sweet. Now more and more people have accepted the authentic Italian tastes. Mimosa's consumers are mainly between 25 and 35 a group that is more willing to try overseas tastes partly due to China's continued opening to the outside world,” he said.
“I hope I can live to 95 and still work,” he said, so that he can, besides bringing authentic Italian desserts to more customers having a sweet tooth, let more people feel the fusion of Chinese and Italian cultures in his desserts.
4、How does Bergamino like his life in Chongqing?
A. It's aimless. B. It's hard to adapt to.
C. It's stressful. D. It's completely new.
5、What do we know about Mimosa?
A. It has a secret recipe. B. It has a history of 90 years.
C. It's more popular with young people. D. It's a window of western table culture.
6、Which of the following best describes Bergamino's business?
A. Challenging but promising. B. Booming but uncreative.
C. More and more profitable. D. More and more controversial.
7、What's Bergamino's expectation in his future dessert career?
A. To add more Italian elements. B. To promote cultural combination.
C. To set up more dessert houses. D. To expand the age group of consumers.
Your cat is probably keeping track of where you are, even if your feline(猫科的) friend isn't in the same room with you and can't see you.
Scientists recently learned that house cats create “mental maps” that tell them where nearby humans are located, based on where sounds are coming from. The researchers tested cats by playing recordings of human voices calling the cats’ names; they then played those recordings again, only this time through a speaker in a different place, so that the same sounds came from farther away. The cats acted surprised when the familiar voice came from a location that they didn't expect, based on what they had already heard. This suggests that cats spatially(空间上) locate their unseen human companions using audio cues—a cognitive(认知) ability that was previously unknown in felines.
Knowing that something continues to exist even if it's out of sight is called object permanence, and it's a test that researchers use to measure animal intelligence. Human babies typically begin to develop object permanence when they're around 8 months old, and this ability becomes more advanced when babies reach 10 to 12 months old; at that stage, babies can find hidden objects, and they begin to realize that their parents and caregivers don't disappear just because they can't be seen, according to the Mayo Clinic.
In other studies, cats have also shown that they can distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar human voices and that they can orientate hidden objects. So “it seems reasonable that cats should be able to mentally map others' locations based on sounds,” the scientists said in the study.
Being able to form a mental picture of the outside world “is an important feature in complex thinking,” and these findings put the study in a new light, which could inform future studies of feline cognition, the study authors concluded.
8、How do house cats locate their human companions?
A. By tracking voices. B. By searching maps.
C. By observing behavior. D. By identifying recordings.
9、Why does the writer mention human babies?
A. To better clarify cats' cognitive ability.
B. To indicate the mental level of children.
C. To tell how to test cats' cognitive ability.
D. To show how to develop babies' intelligence.
10、What does “orientate” underlined in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Choose. B. Record. C. Recognize. D. Position.
11、What do the study authors think of their findings?
A. Useful for pet animal training. B. Helpful for further studies on cats.
C. Necessary for raising cats as pets. D. Important for mental research on cats.
In 1909, Forster published a science fiction short story. The Machine Stops, in which a future civilization falls apart because its technology—much of which sounds a lot like the internet—collapses(崩溃). Last Friday, after Storm Eunice caused the biggest national power cut on record to more than 55,000 homes across southern and eastern England and South Wales, people begin to think Forster's imagined machine was really stopping.
It's not unreasonable to think that Forster's machine is seizing up when your gas heating doesn't work because the pump is electric, when you have to go for a drive to charge the mobile phone, when everything in the freezer is going off, when you can't get on the internet because the WiFi needs mains power, and much of your home technology —from smart doorbells to smart speakers—doesn't work because, even if it has battery back-up, it still needs Wi-Fi. Millions of landlines(座机) will stop working by 2025 because they will use the internet, requiring a broadband connection.
The death of the landline will spell the moment when we are finally full hostages(人质) to the electricity supply. As hundreds of thousands of households across northern England lost power because of Storm Arwen last December, people in remote areas without mobile reception were left unable to call for help, as their landlines were phased out in favour of broadband-enabled phones reliant on electricity.
What are we to do to keep our homes working when electricity can no longer be relied on? People have taken to firing up wood burners to keep warm. Those with oil-fired kitchen ranges for cooking, heating and hot water, have been feeling particularly grateful for that reliable appliance.
“A more radical solution is house batteries. However, for society as a whole, it is less likely to be put into action because home batteries are not a neat and wonderfully clean solution”, says Dr Constable, “Lithium-ion batteries are dangerous. They cause fires. That’s why airlines are cautious about them and why you can't take those little electric scooters on the London.”
12、Why did people begin to believe Forster's imagination?
A. A smart home was not reliable at all.
B. They saw the biggest national disaster.
C. Forster gave a solution to their trouble.
D. What Forster described became a reality.
13、How does the author support his opinion?
A. By analysing the troubles. B. By listing a lot of facts.
C. By sharing an expert's idea. D. By recommending a fiction.
14、What can be inferred from the text?
A. Substitutes ought to be prepared before they are needed.
B. The smarter technology is, the less we need to worry about.
C. The more technology we rely on, the more powerless we may be.
D. Home batteries are a wonderful choice when there is no electricity.
15、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Being Left Hostages to Electricity B. Time to Look for New Energy
C. Days at Home without Electricity D. Collapsing of Future Civilization
二、七选五
16、What Would It Feel Like to Touch a Cloud?
When characters fly or fall through the sky, they often do all sorts of crazy things to touch clouds as if the sky were made of cotton balls. ①_____ But we probably didn't realize it at the time. “Technically, clouds are really tiny, little droplets(滴) of water that happens to be floating in the air,” said Pistone, a research scientist working at NASA to study clouds.
②_____ Let's take examples. Have you ever walked outside on a really foggy day? The type of day that you can't see very far. Fog is the exact same thing as a cloud. ③_____ If you don't remember ever walking through fog, or perhaps live in a dry area where fog is not common, Pistone said it feels like walking through a very light fine rain. But not quite, because the cloud droplets are a lot smaller than the rain droplets.
Clouds do more than make rain and snow. ④_____ Black or dark clouds usually mean a storm is coming because they're packed so full of water that light can't pass through them. On the other hand, many clouds appear bright white because when light from the sun tries to shine through, it gets bounced around by the many suspended(悬着的) water droplets. All of this is important for scientists to study because a lot of big, white clouds help reflect heat back into space. ⑤_____
So the next time you see a sky full of pillow-white clouds, think about all the ways those tiny water droplets might be affecting the world around us.
A. Their color is also interesting.
B. That's why we can see bright white clouds.
C. Why do many people like walking through fog?
D. But what would it feel like to touch a cloud in real life?
E. This means clouds on Earth play a role in climate change.
F. Believe it or not, many of us have already touched a cloud.
G. That's because fog is just a type of cloud that forms on the ground.

Even before setting off, the trip was 10 by issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic which forced the challenge to be 11 by a year. Once the challenge was 12 , high winds made rowing and sleeping extremely difficult, causing Evans to float off 13 at times.
At one point she was even 14 outside of her cabin(舱) after a wave locked the 15 from the inside. It took her three hours to open the 16 . There were the unavoidable occasional sunburn, but Evans managed to 17 in extreme conditions.
“It's a very unique sport 18 you can't get off when you're there and you have to 19 it. So it was so, so intense,” said Evans, who was 20 to cross the Atlantic after climbing Mont Blanc in 2017.

16、答案：FDGAE
解析：①细节理解题。根据前文When characters fly or fall through the sky, they often do all sorts of crazy things to touch clouds as if the sky were made of cotton balls.(当人物角色在天空中飞翔或者坠落时,他们经常做各种疯狂的事情去触摸云彩,就好像天空是由棉花球组成的一样。)讲述了人物角色在天空中飞翔或者坠落时触摸云彩的事情。下文But we probably didn't realize it at the time.(但我们当时可能没有意识到。)可知,我们没有意识到我们摸到了云彩。可推知,空处的内容起承上启下的作用,讲述我们已经摸到了云彩。F选项(信不信由你,我们中的许多人已经触摸到了一朵云。)符合语境,故选F。
②段落主题题。下文Let's take examples. Have you ever walked outside on a really foggy day? The type of day that you can't see very far. Fog is the exact same thing as a cloud.(让我们举个例子。你有没有在大雾天出去散过步?那种你看不远的日子。雾和云是一回事。)和If you don't remember ever walking through fog, or perhaps live in a dry area where fog is not common, Pistone said it feels like walking through a very light fine rain.(皮斯托内说,如果你不记得曾经穿过雾,或者可能住在雾不常见的干燥地区,那感觉就像是在一场很小的小雨中行走。)通过问题形式举例讲述生活中人们步行在雾中的经历和感受,就犹如在云中一样。所以空处应该提出问题,步行在云雾中的感觉是什么。D选项(但在现实生活中,触摸一朵云是什么感觉呢?)符合语境,故选D。
③联系上文题。根据前文Fog is the exact same thing as a cloud.(雾和云是一回事。)空处应该承接前文,讲述具体的原因。G选项(那是因为雾只是在地面上形成的一种云。)解释雾和云是同一物的原因,符合语境,故选G。
④联系上文题。根据前文Clouds do more than make rain and snow.(云不仅仅会下雨和下雪。)讲述云的作用。下文Black or dark clouds usually mean a storm is coming because they're packed so full of water that light can't pass through them. On the other hand, many clouds appear bright white because when light from the sun tries to shine through, it gets bounced around by the many suspended(悬着的)water droplets.(乌云或黑云通常意味着暴风雨即将来临,因为它们充满了水、光线无法穿过它们。另一方面,许多云层呈现明亮的白色,因为当太阳光试图照射进来时,它会被许多悬浮的水滴反射回来。)提到了不同颜色的云蕴含着不同的含义,因而空处承接前文,讲述云的颜色。A选项(它们的颜色也很有趣。)符合语境,故选A。
⑤归纳总结题。根据前文Black or dark clouds usually mean a storm is coming because they're packed so full of water that light can't pass through them. On the other hand, many clouds appear bright white because when light from the sun tries to shine through, it gets bounced around by the many suspended(悬着的) water droplets.

37、答案：①that②appealing③made④as⑤became⑥centuries⑦a⑧fully⑨offers⑩to share
解析：①考查同位语从句。句意:从中国文化中脱颖而出的一个特殊之处是他们的艺术形式,以及他们最古老的传统能够延续至今的事实。分析可知,空处及之后的内容为解释名词fact,空后句子"even their oldest traditions live on to date",结构完整,成分齐全,因此用从属连词that连接,故填that。
②考查形容词。句意:中国皮影戏就是这样一种非常吸引人的文化元素。皮影戏是一种戏剧形式,由皮革或纸张制成的五颜六色的剪影人物,伴随着音乐和歌唱。分析句子可知,此处考查形容词作宾补,make+宾语+补语,China指物,所以补语用现在分词appealing,充当形容词,指"吸引人的",故填appealing。
③考查非谓语。句意:中国皮影戏就是这样一种非常吸引人的文化元素。皮影戏是一种戏剧形式,由皮革或纸张制成的五颜六色的剪影人物,伴随着音乐和歌唱。分析句子可知,"(make) from leather or paper"在句中为后置定语,修饰名词figures,名词figures与动词make为动宾关系,所以此处用过去分词made,故填made。
④考查介词。句意:皮影戏起源于西汉时期(公元前202年--公元8年),是贵族的休闲。结合句意可知,这里指皮影戏被作为贵族的一种休闲活动,所以空处用介词as"作为",故填as。
⑤考查时态。句意:在元代(1271-1368),它通过商业活动传播到中亚,并最终在普通百姓中流行起来。结合空前and可知,空处在句中为谓语,和动词spread并列,所以时态用一般过去时,故填became。
⑥考查名词复数。句意:在接下来的几个世纪里,皮影戏传到了欧洲。few修饰可数名词复数,所以空处用复数名词centuries,故填centuries。
⑦考查冠词,句意:皮影戏作为一种比电影早2000年形成的讲故事的艺术,已经拥抱了新的元素。art"艺术"为可数名词,此处表示泛指概念,所以用不定冠词。storytelling的首个音素为辅音,所以此处用a,故填a。
⑧考查副词。句意:北京冬奥会充分体现了这一传统艺术,在现代世界中获得了新的生命力。副词修饰动词,空后expressed为动词,所以此处用副词fully,故填fully。
⑨考查时态。句意:除此之外,中国皮影戏为中国人民提供了一个难以置信的方式来分享古老的故事,传递有关中国古代文化历史的信息,以及传统、社会信仰和地方风俗,使中国人民丰富多彩。空处在句中为谓语,表示客观事实,所以时态用一般现在时,主语Chinese Shadow Play为单数,所以此处用单三形式。故填offers。
⑩考查不定式。句意:除此之外,中国皮影戏为中国人民提供了一个难以置信的方式来分享古老的故事,传递有关中国古代文化历史的信息,以及传统、社会信仰和地方风俗,使中国人民丰富多彩。the way to do sth."做某事的方式",因此此处填to share,故填to share。
