Amazing Train Journeys
The Beijing to Lhasa Express, China
Departs daily; Distance—2,330 miles; Duration—40 hours
Linking the royal wonders of Beijing with the dreamlike palaces of Lhasa, the Z21 train travels from the modernity of urban China to a once-remote land. Running westward, the train climbs nearly 16,400 ft (5,000 m) on its journey to the roof of the world: the Tibetan Plateau.
London to Fort William on the Caledonian Sleeper, UK
Departs daily; Distance—509 miles; Duration—13 hours 30 minutes
This overnight train journey is filled with the romance of rail travel. It’s just a pity that the whole experience—from dining-car chatting and light beer, to being carried into a la-la land by the rhythm of the rails and waking to bedside views of towering peaks—feels like it’s over in a flash. Though it may be short, the Caledonian is surely Britain’s best train ride.
Tazara Railway, Tanzania and Zambia
Departs twice a week; Distance—1,160 miles; Duration—46 hours
Few trains offer the chance of spotting big game from your seat, but the Tazara Railway does exactly that. For many, the highlight is neither the scenery nor the wildlife, though; it’s the chance to spend two days watching everyday life out of the window, and enjoying the crowds and chaos when the train pulls to a stop.
Perurail’s Lake Titicaca Railway, Peru
Departs twice a week; Distance—241 miles; Duration—10 hours
Traveling across the Altiplano, from the shores of Lake Titicaca to the beating heart of the Inca capital, the railway from Puno to Cuzco cuts a picturesque path through the snow-dusted peaks and fantastic valleys of the Andes. Passengers can enjoy the landscape from an open-air observatory car, as they travel through remote towns and villages.
21．What do the first two train journeys have in common?
A．They make weekly departure. B．They are over a thousand miles.
C．They travel to highlands. D．They are the longest train rides nationwide.
22．On which journey can passengers watch people’s daily life outside the train?
A．Tazara Railway. B．The Beijing to Lhasa Express.
C．Perurail’s Lake Titicaca Railway. D．London to Fort William on the Caledonian Sleeper.
23．What can passengers do on Perurail’s Lake Titicaca Railway?
A．Travel around Lake Titicaca. B．Admire the view in the open air.
C．Go through two countries on a journey. D．Have a deep understanding of towns and villages.

My beautiful new watch had run eighteen months without losing or gaining. But at last, one night, I forgot to wind it up and it stopped running. The next day I stepped into the jeweler’s to set it by the exact time, and the head of the shop started to set it for me. Then he said, “She is four minutes slow — regulator wants pushing up.” I tried to stop him — tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time. But no; he calmly and cruelly did the shameful deed.
My watch began to gain. It gained faster and faster day by day. Finally, I took it to the watchmaker to be regulated. He forced the watch open, and then said it wanted cleaning and oiling, besides regulating. After this, my watch slowed down to an unbearable degree. I began to miss trains and my dinner.
At last, I took this instrument to another watchmaker. He said the kingbolt was broken. To tell the truth, I had no conception what the kingbolt was. He repaired it, but what the watch gained in one way it lost in another. It would run awhile and then stop awhile, and so on.
So, I went with a heavy heart to one more watchmaker. While I waited and looked around, I presently recognized in this watchmaker an old acquaintance — a steamboat engineer of older days, and not a good engineer, either.
“She makes too much steam and…” he said.
I gave him a heavy blow on the head and ran away.
My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance to look at it. And he used to wonder what became of all the unsuccessful repairmen, and shoemakers, and engineers, and blacksmiths, and governors, and school-principals; but nobody could ever tell him.
24．What did the author say about the jeweler?
A．He was a quiet repairman. B．He had a hearing problem.
C．He had a quick mind. D．He made a mistake.
25．After being cleaned, oiled and regulated, how was the author’s watch?
A．It was unbelievably slow. B．It ran awhile and stopped awhile.
C．It kept perfect time. D．It gained faster and faster.
26．Why did the author hit the watchmaker on the head?
A．He was an old enemy of the author. B．He treated the watch cruelly.
C．He was talking nonsense. D．He was a liar.
27．What did the author learn from his experience?
A．Repair work was a complicated job.
B．Never get a watch repaired.
C．Successful people exist in all walks of life.
D．He should listen to his uncle.

As AI art generators(生成器)take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.
Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone’s prompt to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.
AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why? Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be?
AI art involves a program mimicking(模仿)the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue for copyright(版权)violation? Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.
Once we’ve answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize?
28．What does the underlined word“flaws”in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Benefits. B．Advances. C．Weaknesses. D．Standards.
29．How is AI art different from human art?
A．It is the product of experience. B．It costs less money to produce.
C．It combines different styles of work. D．It is not a mirror of humans’ emotions.
30．Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in the third paragraph?
A．To prove the popularity of classic artworks.
B．To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.
C．To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.
D．To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces.
31．What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A．AI art promotes the sale of artistic products.
B．AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.
C．Artists can create more works with the help of AI.
D．There will be fierce competition in the art industry.

There is nothing like a coast redwood. It is the planet’s tallest tree, up to heights of more than 320 feet into the sky. With trunks(树干)that grow to more than 27 feet wide, they can live for over 2,000 years. Some of them living today were alive during the time of the Roman Empire.
Coast redwoods have survived through thousands of years of natural floods, droughts, tsunamis and fires. They can thrive and recover from damage as long as they can count on rainwater and coastal fog banks that roll in every morning. And it is those critical water sources that are disappearing as temperatures continue to rise. The damp conditions the trees like are rarer than they used to be. Coast redwoods now occupy less than 10 percent of their original range.
Their loss will have some consequences, particularly in the vast amount of carbon they store. Redwoods can store 2,600 metric tons of carbon per hectare, more than double the absorption rate of the Pacific Northwest’s conifer trees(针叶树), according to a new research published in Forest Ecology and Management.
David Milarch, an arborist from Michigan, says he feels sorrowful about the disappearing redwoods. He spends his days tracking down the healthiest coast redwood specimens(样本)he can find, cloning them in his own lab, and then planting them in carefully chosen places where they can thrive. Milarch’s goal is both to strengthen the coast redwood gene pool with clones of the strongest individuals, and to store loads of carbon. It’s a complicated mission with a simple philosophy: save the big trees, and they’ll save us.
Milarch explains that we need a practical and measurable solution to fighting against climate change. He believes the redwoods are the answer. However, scientist Mark Maslin cautions against viewing tree planting as a magic bullet, since even fast-growing trees take a long time to grow and be mature enough to reach their maximum carbon-trapping time which climate change cannot afford. As a global society, the most important thing we should do now is to reduce our overall carbon emissions if we want to have any impact on the planet’s climate crisis.
32．What causes the decrease of coast redwoods?
A．Forest fires. B．Soil pollution.
C．Climate warming. D．Human overcutting.
33．Why does the author mention the research in paragraph 3?
A．To show the importance of redwoods to the environment.
B．To introduce the approach to reducing carbon pollutants.
C．To state the role of the Pacific Northwest’s conifer trees.
D．To explain the difficulty of protecting coast redwoods.
34．How does Milarch save the redwoods?
A．By seeking ideal specimens to clone.
B．By exploring ways to raise their adaptability.
C．By improving water sources in coastal places.
D．By creating a wet growing environment for them.
35．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Harvesting genes from various redwoods.
B．Planting more redwoods.
C．The extinction of the coast redwoods.
D．Saving the coast redwoods.


五、七选五
For many freshmen, this will really be their first time handling money on their own. They will have difficulty handling budgets. 36
Keep track of personal finances.
College is the age for one to start being smart with their money and know how to properly invest, save up, and pay off their debts. 37 This is how you become truly independent. Actually, in this case, there are now a lot of convenient APPs on your smartphones that can give you a real time image of your money and spending.
Credit is important, so use it responsibly.
Building credit is important, and so is opening your first credit card. During your first few weeks on campus, you will likely be bombed with credit card booths and salespeople. 38 Then look for a card with no annual fee, good rewards, and of course — a reasonable interest rate.
39
The easiest way to start is to save all your coins and changes every week into a savings account with no ATM card. This seemingly insignificant amount adds up over time and starts the habit of saving.
Get a job, but a flexible one.
Getting a job in college is practical, because you can earn “spending money” and even save some to pay for books and supplies, and even pay off student loans. 40 Some of them have limited interactions or responsibilities. These types of work allow you to make money and finish your schooling.
Network for your future cause.
No money item could be more important than your network, because the quickest way to secure a job is all about who you know, and not totally dependent on your GPA．This could bring more benefits than opening up a credit card.
A．Learn to start saving a little each month.
B．There are many on-campus jobs out there.
C．But your job can have an impact on your study.
D．Open an account without delay when recommended.
E．Ask the salespeople to explain detailed points to you.
F．The first step is to start keeping accounts for yourself.
G．Here are some useful tips for them.


六、完形填空
When I was little, I’d play chess with my grandfather, and he’d smoke his cigar while telling me stories about growing up, pursuing dreams, and travelling around the world. Yet it was only after he passed away that I 41 how fast his stories had faded away.
Therefore, I understood the importance of 42 memories, which ultimately changed my 43 outlook on remembering our loved ones and the stories we share. All too often, we take for granted the 44 that our family histories and personal experiences have had in our lives. They help to 45 who we are, providing markers of our growth. Naturally, I believe we are all 46 about our ancestor, but 47 we can be easily stuck on knowing what questions to ask.
Full of regrets but armed with a new found 48 , I thought about solutions to help other people record the precious 49 for those they love—before it’s too late. As freelancer (自由职业者) platforms became mainstream, I discovered many highly qualified writers were 50 around the world, so I began matching ghostwriters (代笔者) with clients to help them write a book. 51 , Story Tree, a memoir-writing service, was 52 .
Since then, we have explored the power of stories and their ability to connect us with our past and 53 the present. It has been documented that learning more about one’s family history has been linked to 54 emotional health, and providing a deeper sense of cultures and traditions.
Of all the heritage stories at Story Tree, family is a dominant theme. Other common themes are love, enterprising spirit, overcoming difficulty, and settling in new surroundings. However, 55 is a thread that always ties these together.
41．A．doubted B．realized C．imagined D．counted
42．A．preserving B．forgetting C．rescuing D．observing
43．A．final B．casual C．formal D．previous
44．A．intention B．honor C．value D．progress
45．A．shape B．confirm C．present D．perfect
46．A．certain B．curious C．cautious D．confused
47．A．in contrast B．in fact C．in detail D．in common
48．A．business B．relief C．purpose D．talent
49．A．hobbies B．relationships C．evidences D．memories
50．A．available B．accessible C．admirable D．acceptable
51．A．Frequently B．Certainly C．Eventually D．Luckily
52．A．approved B．found C．updated D．born
53．A．catch up with B．put up with C．make sense of D．get rid of
54．A．risking B．boosting C．assessing D．monitoring
55．A．family B．community C．culture D．history


七、用单词的适当形式完成短文
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, Zhang Zhifeng, a practitioner of chabaixi, displayed a special Chinese tea trick in a recent TV drama, 56 (arouse)great interest among ordinary people due to its apparent 57 (similar) with modern latte art (咖啡拉花艺术).
Chabaixi, with 58 name Shuidanqing, can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even calligraphy. It is different from making latte because people use clear water as the object 59 (put) into the cup instead of milk. But when the water 60 (touch) the surface of whipped (搅打起泡沫的) tea, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique, diancha, 61 quality is crucial to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.
Chabaixi 62 (list) as part of China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017, after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifeng, who started researching the origins of chabaixi in 63 1980s and brought the technique back in 2009 after decades of trials and practice.
“Chabaixi, as one of the 64 (vary) forms of tea-making techniques in China, gives us a window into people’s lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when leisure activities in some ways resemble 65 we have now. It would be a shame to let it fade. This technique must be passed on to the next generations so they can understand its history,” Zhang said.

九、读后续写
67．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。续写的词数应为150左右。
I peered over my grandma’s shoulder as she sewed pieces of cloth together. The two pieces became one faster than I’d imagined. The colors, however, looked ugly when put together and none of the patterns matched. All the patches (补丁) on this blanket seemed to disagree.
“Grandma， that’s the ugliest quilt (棉被) I’ve ever seen.”
“Oh, sweetie, it’s warm and beautiful,” said Grandma, pointing to a pile of crazy patterned shirts and suits. “I can take these old clothes that Grandpa and I will never wear again and turn them into something useful and good. It’s not the quilts appearance but the love that sews it together that makes it beautiful. This quilt will keep you warm on a cold night like tonight. And I know that for a fact.” Grandma put her hand on my shoulder, “Not everyone is as lucky as we are. Here, put on your coat. We’ll get a second opinion about how ugly my quilts are.”
Grandma folded a finished quilt and tucked it into a shopping bag. Afterwards, we got in the car and drove downtown. The white snow turned grayer as we got to the city. Eventually, Grandma pulled up at a dark alley (胡同) and we got out of the car. The terrible smell of rotting garbage made me feel sick and pinch my nose shut. Grandma took my hand and led me to the street lamp. I could see the snow shimmering (发出微光) in the light.
Grandma paused. “There’s usually somebody down this alley. It’s quiet and out of the wind--a good place to stay on cold nights. A nice warm quilt might make it even better.”
The dark engulfed (吞没) Grandma and I as we stepped deep into the alley. The pavement was cracked and missing in spots. Chicken bones and stained boxes littered their way. And Grandma’s shoes made a loud sound with each step. Feeling frightened, I squeezed Grandma’s hand. Grandma squeezed my hand back. “Its OK.” she smiled.
“Who’s there?” shouted a voice out of the darkness.
Paragraph 1:
“I have a nice warm quilt, if you want it,” said Grandma.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Back home, I found a worn-out quilt by accident in a cupboard.

29．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.(不同之处在于，AI是由命令驱动的，而不是由表达自己的情感欲望驱动的。)”可知，人类艺术是表达自己的情感欲望，而AI是则是靠程序驱动，由此可知，AI艺术不是人类情感的反应。故选D项。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every ta p of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting.(人工智能画家只要按下键盘上的输入键，就能创作出1000多幅原创艺术作品。但是，一幅批量生产的《蒙娜丽莎》版画的价值还不如列奥纳多·达·芬奇的真迹。)”可知，AI画家可以大规模生产原创作品，但是其创作的画作要低于达芬奇的真迹，结合下文中的问题“Why? Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be?(为什么？稀缺性——只有一件原件。有人应该为这些东西买单吗？如果一名艺术家将人工智能杰作挂牌出售，价格应该是多少？)”可知，AI艺术创作引发很多问题，由此可以推断，作者提到《蒙娜丽莎》的目的是为了呈现AI艺术价值的潜在问题。故选B项。
31．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue for copyright(版权)violation?

67．Para 1: “I have a nice warm quilt, if you want it,” said Grandma. After a while, a beam of light appeared and a lady walked out of the darkness. Grandma opened the shopping bag and pulled out the multicolored quilt. “That’s pretty and it looks warm,” the lady exclaimed and took the quilt, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude. As we walked back down the alley, I looked over my shoulder and saw the lady holding the quilt tightly to her face. “You’re right, Grandma. That is a beautiful quilt.” On our ride back home, the lady’s grateful words were still ringing in my ears.
Para 2: Back home, I found a worn-out quilt by accident in a cupboard. I asked Grandma curiously, Grandma, why is there a quilt here? After a moment of silence, Grandma began to share her own story. On a freezing night decades ago, as a poor young woman sleeping in the same alley, Grandma was offered a quilt, which warmed her up. She was determined to pass the love forward. That’s why Grandma sewed the old clothes together and made quilts for those in need. After hearing the story, I gave Grandma the biggest hug ever. I thought of all the clothes I didn’t want to wear anymore and knew what Grandma and I would do the next morning.
