Christmas is a time for eating great food, giving and receiving presents, and most importantly spending time with your family watching some classic Christmas movies.
The Grinch (2000)
This is a Christmas must-watch and one of Jim Carrey’s best performances. It was also originally a nursery tale book written by Dr Seuss. It’s the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas but in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. I promise it’s a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.
Love Actually (2003)
While this is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has many featuring actors and actresses. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are complex plots, so I recommend watching a translated version. However, the heart-warming elements of the film make it worth watching.
Home Alone (1990)
This amusing masterwork is one of my favourite films of all time. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forgets to take him on vacation with them. While other family members are away, burglars try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch an 8-year-oldboy beat two grown men.
Miracle on 34th Street (1994)
You can’t have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this movie. It’s not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. It’s about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl. The storyline may seem a little childish but you can enjoy it at any age.
21 Which film is adapted from a fairy tale?
A. The Grinch. B. Home Alone. C. Love Actually. D. Miracle on 34th Street.
22. What is Home Alone mainly about?
A. An unsuccessful family vacation.
B. A boy protecting his home by himself.
C. A terrible suffering of a little boy.
D. An 8-year-oldboy’s practical jokes.
23. Why is Miracle on 34th Street so popular?

Food waste is a serious problem. In 2010, nearly 133 billion pounds worth of food was transported to U.S. landfills. Food waste is truly a waste to all of humanity. That’s because when you throw out a rotten apple or a moldy container of leftovers, you’re not just throwing away the food, but all the resources that went into producing it.
Water plays a major role in food production, and as a result, food waste translates to a large amount of water wastage. All foods have a water footprint, the direct and indirect water that goes into producing a certain food, although some footprints are larger than others. In general, meats tend to need the most water for production, primarily because of the amount of food the animal needs. Also, larger animals aren’t as efficient in terms of meat production as smaller animals like chickens or turkeys, and the bigger beasts therefore have a larger water footprint.
Food waste has environmental impacts, too. “If you put all the food waste into one country, it would be the world’s third largest greenhouse gas emitter,” says Brian Lipinski, an associate in the World Resource Institute’s Food Program. Decomposing (分解) food that makes its way into landfills releases methane (甲烷), which is significantly more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide.
All is not lost, however. There are many efforts underway to cut food loss at every level. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency recently called for a 50 percent reduction in food waste by 2030. Meanwhile, Portland launched a citywide composting (堆制肥料) program a few years ago. And at the retail (零售) level, the former president of Trader Joe’s recently opened a store near Boston that sells surplus food donated by grocery stores at low prices.
Still, waste can’t be avoided. There’s never going to be some ideal or perfect way to eliminate it all. Fortunately, change at any level, whether it’s as a supplier, retailer or consumer, will help ease the impact of food waste on natural resources.
24. Why is wasting food a waste of water resources?
A. Food waste contains a lot of water.
B. Food waste causes water pollution.
C. Food production needs plenty of water.
D. Dealing with food waste consumes much water.
25. How does food waste influence the environment?
A. It smells rather terrible.
B. It poisons the soil severely.
C. It carries a lot of bacteria.
D. It releases a greenhouse gas.
26. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Strategies for ensuring food safety.
B. Measures for reducing food waste.
C. Benefits of the composting program.
D. Causes of monitoring food production.
27. What does the author convey in the last paragraph?
A. Better late than never.
B. Content is better than riches.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. Make hay while the sun shines.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了食物浪费不仅浪费了生产过程中使用的资源，而且会对环境造成负面影响，现在各方正在采取措施减少食物浪费，以缓解食物浪费对自然资源的影响。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Water plays a major role in food production, and as a result, food waste translates to a large amount of water wastage.（水在食物生产中起着重要作用，因此，食物浪费转化为大量的水浪费。）”可知，浪费食物就是在浪费水是因为食物生产过程中需要大量的水。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Decomposing (分解) food that makes its way into landfills releases methane (甲烷), which is significantly more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide.（食物分解后进入垃圾填埋场会释放出甲烷，这比二氧化碳对环境的危害要大得多。）”可知，被浪费的食物会释放出温室气体，破坏环境。故选D项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“There are many efforts underway to cut food loss at every level. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency recently called for a 50 percent reduction in food waste by 2030. Meanwhile, Portland launched a citywide composting (堆制肥料) program a few years ago. And at the retail (零售) level, the former president of Trader Joe’s recently opened a store near Boston that sells surplus food donated by grocery stores at low prices.（在各个层面上都在努力减少食物损失。美国农业部和环境保护署最近呼吁到2030年将食物浪费减少50%。与此同时，波特兰在几年前启动了一项全市范围的堆肥计划。在零售层面，Trader Joe’s的前总裁最近在波士顿附近开了一家店，以低价出售杂货店捐赠的剩余食品。）”可知，本段介绍了各方为减少食物损失而采取的措施，既有宏观政策层面的，也有零售层面的。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, waste can’t be avoided. There’s never going to be some ideal or perfect way to eliminate it all. Fortunately, change at any level, whether it’s as a supplier, retailer or consumer, will help ease the impact of food waste on natural resources.（然而，浪费是无法避免的。永远不会有理想或完美的方法来消除它。幸运的是，任何层面的改变，无论是作为供应商、零售商还是消费者，都将有助于缓解食物浪费对自然资源的影响。）”可知，虽然食物浪费无法完美地解决，但是任何一方的努力都可以缓解它对自然资源造成的影响。由此推知，作者想表达在采取行动减少食物浪费的问题上，迟做总比不做好。故选A项。
C
The African penguin is expected to go extinct in the wild in just over a decade, given its current population decline. The main reason is a lack of food caused by disturbance to ocean conditions from global heating and competition from the commercial fishing industry. According to a study, scientists have identified a possible additional cause, one that is an entirely new threat and that further prevents the penguins from finding food: noise pollution from marine (海洋的) ships in a bay.
Since 2016, a new shipping practice has started at Algoa Bay. The bay offers ship-to-ship refueling (加油) for ships anchored onshore. Since the start of this practice, marine traffic in the bay has doubled. The number of bulk carriers (散装货船) pulling into the bay has increased tenfold. Thus, the noise levels in the area had doubled and the population of penguins has dropped sharply. High noise levels affect the ability of marine animals to find food, communicate or navigate properly.
Researchers used data from ship identification tools to estimate underwater noise from passing ships. They also attached underwater microphones and accelerometers (加速计) to some of the penguins. Recording the noise will tell researchers what the penguins are hearing, if they’re talking while hunting, if they’re changing their movements in response to noise, and if the noise is drowning out their hunting conversations. This will allow researchers to determine whether the sound disturbance is a direct cause of the penguins’ ongoing difficulties in finding sufficient food.
The study is the first to explore the effects of ocean traffic noise pollution on seabirds and the consequences of offshore shipping activities on underwater noise levels. Experts are considering proposing various global best-practice approaches to reduce some of the impacts of noise pollution, such as policies that limit the number and size of ships allowed into a bay of this kind. “We also need more scientific monitoring of noise, before these measures are put in place and afterward, so that we have a proper understanding of what works,” a researcher said.
28. What is the cause of the high-level noise at Algoa Bay?
A. The busy ship-to-ship refueling activities.
B. The frequent large-scale fishing practices.
C. The increasing number of offshore power plants.
D. The construction of natural reserves for marine animals.
29. Why did scientists record the noise?
A. To study the way of relieving marine traffic pressure.
B. To determine and analyze the source of ocean noise pollution.
C. To calculate underwater noise levels caused by different ships.
D. To explore the impact of ocean noise on penguins’ hunting behavior.
30. What could be a solution to noise pollution according to experts?
A. Collecting a transport taxon passing ships.
B. Banning unapproved offshore shipping activities.
C. Restricting the number and size of ships in the bay.
D. Establishing a long-term monitoring system for underwater noise.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Global warming makes it harder for animals to find food.
B. High-level noise poses a threat to both humans and animals.
C. Noise from marine ships causes African penguins to go extinct.
D. Shipping activities reduce the species of sea animals in Algoa Bay.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，海湾中船只的噪音污染进一步阻碍了企鹅寻找食物，导致企鹅数量急剧减少。高噪音水平会影响海洋动物正确觅食、交流或导航的能力，导致海洋动物数量减少。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Since 2016, a new shipping practice has started at Algoa Bay. The bay offers ship-to-ship refueling (加油) for ships anchored onshore. Since the start of this practice, marine traffic in the bay has doubled. The number of bulk carriers (散装货船) pulling into the bay has increased tenfold. Thus, the noise levels in the area had doubled and the population of penguins has dropped sharply. (自2016年以来，Algoa湾开始了一项新的航运业务。该海湾为停泊在岸上的船只提供船对船加油服务。自从这种做法开始以来，海湾的海上交通量翻了一番。驶入海湾的散货船数量增加了十倍。因此，该地区的噪音水平翻了一番，企鹅数量急剧下降。)”可知，Algoa湾为停泊在岸上的船只提供船对船加油服务使此海湾的交通量和散货船数量增加，导致该地区的噪音水平翻了一番，由此可知，繁忙的船对船加油活动是Algoa湾高噪音的原因。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers used data from ship identification tools to estimate underwater noise from passing ships. They also attached underwater microphones and accelerometers (加速计) to some of the penguins. Recording the noise will tell researchers what the penguins are hearing, if they’re talking while hunting, if they’re changing their movements in response to noise, and if the noise is drowning out their hunting conversations. This will allow researchers to determine whether the sound disturbance is a direct cause of the penguins’ ongoing difficulties in finding sufficient food.(研究人员使用船只识别工具的数据来估计过往船只的水下噪音。他们还在一些企鹅身上安装了水下麦克风和加速度计。记录噪音可以告诉研究人员企鹅听到了什么，它们在捕猎时是否在说话，它们是否在改变动作以应对噪音，以及噪音是否淹没了它们的捕猎对话。这将使研究人员能够确定声音干扰是否是企鹅持续难以找到足够食物的直接原因。)”可知，科学家们记录下这些噪音，是为了探索海洋噪音对企鹅捕食行为的影响。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Experts are considering proposing various global best-practice approaches to reduce some of the impacts of noise pollution, such as policies that limit the number and size of ships allowed into a bay of this kind.(专家们正在考虑提出各种全球最佳实践方法，以减少噪音污染的一些影响，例如限制进入这类海湾的船只数量和大小的政策。)”可知，可以通过限制船只进入海湾减少噪音污染。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The African penguin is expected to go extinct in the wild in just over a decade, given its current population decline. The main reason is a lack of food caused by disturbance to ocean conditions from global heating and competition from the commercial fishing industry. According to a study, scientists have identified a possible additional cause, one that is an entirely new threat and that further prevents the penguins from finding food: noise pollution from marine (海洋的) ships in a bay.(考虑到目前非洲企鹅数量的下降，预计在十多年后野生非洲企鹅将灭绝。主要原因是全球变暖对海洋环境的干扰和商业捕鱼业的竞争造成了食物短缺。根据一项研究，科学家们已经确定了一个可能的额外原因，这是一个全新的威胁，进一步阻止企鹅寻找食物：海湾中船舶的噪音污染。)”以及第二段中“Since 2016, a new shipping practice has started at Algoa Bay. The bay offers ship-to-ship refueling (加油) for ships anchored onshore. Since the start of this practice, marine traffic in the bay has doubled. The number of bulk carriers (散装货船) pulling into the bay has increased tenfold. Thus, the noise levels in the area had doubled and the population of penguins has dropped sharply.

There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming (编程) help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server (服务器), it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb.1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20 / month.’
However, ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.

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。
We know that choosing a college major can be very hard. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here's what you need to know about college majors before you commit.
What is a major?
___36___Beyond general college requirements， you'll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry， Literature， or Political Science.
How important is my major?
The major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college， you will probably need certain courses. ___37___
When do I declare a major?
This varies widely across schools and programs.____38____Others require that you declare upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.
___39___
Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However， keep this in mind. Every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game， it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.
What are minors and double majors?
If one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite， consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration.___40___A double major provides you with an understanding of two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.
A. Can I change my mind?
B. Is my major time-consuming?
C. It's your specialized area of study in college.
D. Most students find one major is more than enough.
E. Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.
F. But many future doctors major in non-science related fields.
G. The only difference is that it doesn’t require as many classes.
【答案】36. C 37. F 38. E 39. A 40. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，介绍了关于大学所选专业的一些信息。
【36题详解】
本段小标题为“什么是专业？”，根据下文Beyond general college requirements， you'll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry， Literature， or Political Science.可知，除了通用的大学要求，你还将学习一门你选择的课程，如化学，文学或政治科学。符合本段主题，承接下文，C项（这是你在大学学习的专业领域。）切题。故选C项。
【37题详解】
根据上文If you intend to earn a professional degree after college， you will probably need certain courses.可知，如果你打算在大学毕业后获得专业学位，您可能需要某些特定的课程。F项（但许多未来的医生主修非科学相关领域。）与之形成对比，阐释了“The major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future.（你的专业选择既不会预测也不会保证你的未来）”这一句话，故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据上文This varies widely across schools and programs可知，关于什么时候选专业，不同学校和项目的差异很大。根据下文Others require that you declare upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.可知，其他学校则要求你在上第一节课时就申请专业。承上启下，E项（有些学校可能会给你一天或以上的时间去决定）切题，故选E项。
【39题详解】
根据这一段中If you change your major late in the game可知，这一段与换专业有关，故选A项（我可以改变主意吗？）
【40题详解】
根据上文If one field of study doesn' t satisfy your intellectual appetite， consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration.可知，如果一个研究领域不能满足您的智力需求，考虑辅修。辅修专业与主专业相似的地方是它们都是学术集中的领域。承接上文，G项（唯一的区别是它不需要上那么多课。）切题，故选G项。

Jose was a devoted teacher for a local high school in California. Unfortunately, with the money he earned, he couldn’t support his family and extended family in Mexico and rent an apartment in California at the same time. Therefore, having failed to afford the rental of even a shoebox apartment, he had no choice but to live in his old car occasionally to make ends meet until he could find another place to live.
To make matters worse, he found himself living this unfortunate lifestyle after Covid-19 swept the world when California schools closed their doors following the outbreak. This left Jose with little means for making money. So at age 77, Jose ended up living inside of his car. For about two years he was homeless. Home was his car, and his car sat in a grocery store parking lot. During daytime he drove to different locations, looking for job opportunities while he spent most of his nights at the same parking lot, which gave him a sense of belonging.
At day time, he would lean his seat all the way back, so no one would see him because he knew he wasn’t supposed to be there and worried the manager of the grocery store would drive him away. He was a man of self-respect and didn’t want to turn to charity.
When Maggie, the manager of the grocery store did see Jose, she felt he looked familiar because she used to be in his class many years ago. She could still remember how Jose encouraged her to finish her education when she was struggling with her learning. She noticed Jose spent a considerable amount of time in his car, she suspected her teacher had fallen on hard times. She became determined to help her former teacher in his time of need. So, the former student decided to repay the favor and help her homeless teacher.
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。
One morning, Maggie knocked at the window of the car.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing Jose refused the money, Maggie wanted to help him without hurting his feeling.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One morning, Maggie knocked at the window of the car. Jose wound down the window and apologized to the lady standing by his car. He said he would drive away soon to make room for other customers. Tears in eyes, Maggie asked him whether he still remembered her. Jose was puzzled at first but soon recognized her. Embarrassed, he told Maggie about his situation. Maggie took out an envelope and handed it to Jose. To his surprise, there were $2000 in it. However, the teacher didn’t accept it.
Seeing Jose refused the money, Maggie wanted to help him without hurting his feeling. She decided to offer him a job in her store, saying that all he needed to do was to check the temperature of customers at the gate of the parking lot. Jose agreed and worked really hard. With his salary, not only could he afford his food but he also managed to rent a little flat. It was small, but he was no longer homeless. Kindness and dedication will pay off one day.
【解析】
【分析】本文是以人物为线索展开，讲述Jose是一名教师，家里的经济情况很不好，他无法负担起租一个公寓，所以只能睡到车里。由于新冠疫情的影响，他失业了，使他拮据的生活更是雪上加霜。他的车一直停在一个杂货店旁边的停车场上，这个杂货店的经理玛吉是Jose的学生，她看到她曾经的老师遇到困难，决定帮帮他。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“一天早上，玛吉敲了敲车窗。”可知，第一段要写玛吉如何让Jose认出她而且直接给了老师钱，想要帮助他。
②由第二段首句内容“看到Jose拒绝了这笔钱，玛吉想在不伤害他的感情的情况下帮助他。”可知，在老师没有接受钱的情况下，玛吉想了其它的不伤害老师自尊心的办法来帮助老师。
2.续写线索：老师认出她——给老师钱——老师拒绝——给老师提供工作——经济情况得到改善——感悟。
3.词汇激活

①向某人道歉：apologize to sb. /give sb. an apology
②递给某人某物：hand sth. to sb./pass sth. to sb.
