For Lydia Koniordou, a famous Greek actress and former Greek minister of culture and sports, cultural preservation is essential to help people know who they are and learn what they should do in the future.

“The taller you want to grow, the deeper your roots must be. Our cultural past is our roots. If we don't have really strong roots and depth in our perception（认识） of our identity, we cannot grow. Without these roots, we will be torn out very easily with the currents,” she told the journalist in a recent interview, adding cultural heritage is in fact very much alive and relevant today.

Speaking of her teaching experience overseas, Koniordou said she was very much impressed by her Chinese students when she gave seminars on ancient Greek tragedy at the Shanghai Theatre Academy in 2014. When the students worked on Alcestis, an Athenian tragedy by ancient Greek playwright Euripides, they thoroughly researched the costumes they would wear, the set, and the lights, among others, she recalled. “I feel they evolved and were transformed by this experience as I was transformed. They did not just play a role, but created a whole world and that is why the production had so much interest also for the spectators, ”she said. Koniordou participated in the production of Euripides Electra together with Greek director Kostas Tsianos. “Tsianos did something very important for Greek culture. He connected folk forms of art, folk dances, songs and poetry with our classical past. We presented this performance in many places around the world, and the feeling that it stirred in the audience was quite similar, even though they didn't always understand the language,” she said.

The Chinese civilization is a huge tree with very deep roots, and Greece also has a rich ancient civilization, she said, adding she believes that the two countries could promote cooperation and exchanges in many fields, such as in preservation of antiques.

24. What can we learn from paragraph 2?

A. The importance of cultural preservation.

B. Cultural heritage is easily damaged.

C. The taller growth wants the deeper roots.

D. We are easily torn out with the currents.

25. What did Koniordou do in Shanghai?

A. She played a role and was loved by the spectators.

B. She researched the costumes, the set, and the lights.

C. She studied the art of Chinese performance as a student.

D. She promoted the students' understanding of Greek culture.

26. Why did Koniordou cooperate with Kostas Tsianos?

A. To indicate her friendship with Tsianos.

B. To acknowledge Tsianosin's contributions.

C. To popularize and promote traditional Greek culture.

D. To introduce the achievement of Tsianosin in presenting classics.

27. What will the text probably talk about in the following part?

A. Cultural preservation in China.

B. The way to preserve cultural heritage.

C. The introduction of other Greek art productions.

D. Cooperation between Chinese and Greek culture.

C

Do you ever feel guilty for relaxing,even after you've worked hard all day? Do you feel like you should be doing more despite working full hours and nearing burnout? You may be experiencing productivity dysmorphia（生产力畸形）. It is a way to describe the feeling of failing to recognize your accomplishments and wanting to continue doing more,even when you' re running on fumes.

Author Anna Codrea Rado who wrote an article about productivity dysmorphia claimed “it is the pursuit of productivity that drives us to do more while robbing us of the ability to enjoy any success we might encounter along the way”.

Highly competitive and job-led culture contribute to constantly pursuing productivity that eats away at other areas of life.In fact, you' re often praised for putting productivity above your well-being.Remember how schools rewarded perfect attendance? Similarly, companies prefer employees who get the maxi- mum work done while taking the fewest possible breaks. Rewards like these have strengthened that rest is bad and that being constantly at work is the right thing to do.

Plus,the problem isn't that the boss tells them to do it, but rather that they internalize the need to always be productive even when they' re going some-where to enjoy leisure time. Habits like these may be born out of the social pressure to find self-worth in work achievements.

Some writers have even begun describing rest as productive, as if people should stop relaxing if it doesn't improve performance in some way. Not only does this mindset make it difficult to view and celebrate your achievements, but it also pushes you to build your entire life around work. The only milestones that matter are achieving work goals. The worst part? There' s no sense of fulfillment when you reach these goals.

28. What do the underlined words “running on fumes” mean in Paragraph 1?

A. Tired.     B. Excited.    C. Satisfied.    D. Disappointed. 3

29. Which is the reason for constantly pursuing productivity?

A. Minor competitiveness.      B. Pressure from jobs.

C. Instructions from the boss.     D. Internalized needs.

30. Which may be an example of productivity dysmorphia?

A. A man completes work in working hours.

B. A man enjoys leisure time with his family.

C. A woman works everywhere at any time.

D. A woman stops for a relaxation regularly.

31. What is the author's attitude towards the description of some writers?

A. Favorable.    B. Negative.    C. Unconcerned.   D. Neutral.

D

A study from the University of Montreal and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, published in Frontiers in Medicine, found that regular virtual visits to museums could help seniors stay mentally active and come with a host of additional health benefits. That's because these digital connections can make retirees feel less lonely and isolated.

Social isolation has been associated with the risks for heart disease and the decline of recognition abilities in seniors and the pandemic increased the risks due to the need for seniors to stay home and isolate, according to a press release from the university.

The researchers investigated the potential benefits of weekly virtual visits for a three-month period. The participants were people aged 65 and older who lived in Montreal. Half of the participants took part in online visits and a discussion afterwards, while the control group did not participate in1 any cultural events at all. The group who participated in the virtual visits showed improvements in their quality of life, “Our study showed that art-based activities may be an effective intervention,” lead author Dr. Olivier Beauchet, a professor at the University of Montreal, said in the press release. “On a global scale, this participatory art-based activity could become a model that could be offered in museums and arts institutions worldwide to promote active and healthy aging. ”

The initiative reflects approaches recommended by the World Health Organization to manage certain diseases, according to Beauchet. For instance, the WHO launched the Aging and Health Program in 2015 that included using community-based organizations to promote culture as a key component of improving health. Traditionally, these sorts of preventive health activities have taken place in schools, community centers, and workplaces. “While these are suitable locations that reach a great number of people, there are additional organizations and sectors that could become partners in public health research and practice development,” Beauchet said. “Museums are among such potential partners. They are aware of the needs of their communities and are consequently expanding the types of activities they offer.”

32. How do seniors benefit from regular virtual visits to museums?

A. They get survival skills.      B. They raise interest in art.

C. They improve quality of life.     D. They connect more with family.

33. What can be inferred from Beauchet's words in Paragraph 3?

A. Participants come from the whole world.

B. The museum needs better cultural events.

C. Face-to-face discussion is a useful intervention.

D. Seniors should attend more art-based activities.

34. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A. To entertain.        B. To advocate.

C. To advertise.        D. To warn.

35. Which may be a suitable title for the text?

A. The Aged Form a Community to Reduce Loneliness

B. Online Museum Trips Improve Seniors' Wellbeing

C. Virtual Art-based Activities Bring People Together

D. Retired Individuals Pay More Visits to Museums

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Have you ever complained that there just aren't enough hours in a day? Do you usually find yourself falling short on time in completing assigned tasks?    36    No matter how hard I tried to be focused and productive, tasks just kept piling up towards the end every day. That didn't change until I discovered Time Blocking, since when my daily schedule has been transformed for the better. So what is it exactly?

It is a simple time management technique where you divided your day into time blocks that are dedicated to specific tasks or groups of tasks. It's a popular method to boost your productivity and allow you to focus on your tasks.    37    Imagine that a dozen or so tasks are due tomorrow. Like a majority of people, you open your to-do app of choice and neatly list down everything that you plan to do, and then plot some important meetings and reminders in your calendar app.    38    .

Once you start Time Blocking, you'll overcome this shortcoming.    39    The more specific you are about the task, the more focused you will be and thus, more productive. A properly organized time-blocked schedule is far more effective than any form of to-do list.

   40   _It not only makes your to-do list more manageable, but also it gives you more control over your day and increases your productivity. Each task or group of tasks in a day is a small-scale goal for you to achieve within that time-frame, so you are more determined to meet deadlines and reach your goals. It also improves your focus and helps get rid of procrastination（拖延症），as you are only working on one specific task at a time.

A. I used to be in the same boat.

B. I believe you have encountered questions like this

C. The benefits of Time Blocking are considerable.

D. You work your way down the priority list and everything goes as planned.

E. You can regard it as a combination of a To-do list and a Calendar schedule.

F. You'll need to be very specific about what you're planning to do in that time block.

G. While it sounds logical, it makes you jump between different kinds of tasks without focus.

Now he has a whole    52    ：He’ll shake hooves, come when called，walk on a leash（拴绳）and wave. Quincy can even “read” his tricks off cue cards, which always earns the most    53   .

It's hard to believe that the kid    54    wanted turned out to be one of the smartest and most good-natured animals I've ever had. He's by far the    55    of my bunch-just don't tell the dogs!

My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would complain that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew（肖禁）. He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.

“You don't trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe?

I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.

“Why won't she just stay in with us all the time?” Nathan, my youngest son asked.

I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.

“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go.

Meatball became a regular.

One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.

I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you're not happy, but it's for your own good. ”

“Mom's not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She's just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.

The next morning, I couldn't find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.

Dear Tom,

I am writing to invite you to join in an exciting hiking activity themed “Embrace Nature, Strengthen Body and Mind”, which I think will be a fantastic opportunity for you to experience the beauty of nature and bond with fellow students.

With the purpose of arousing the affection to nature and strengthen our body and mind, this sightseeing will start at 8:00 a. m. this Sunday from our school gate, where we will board a bus to the National Park. The hikers consist of almost all the school staff and students. As planned, we're to visit the National Park at ten o'clock and next, enjoy the beautiful scenery outdoors and admire the natural wonders throughout the Park. Furthermore, there will be some team-building activities as well. Besides, you'd better prepare yourself some snacks in case you are hungry. For your comfort and safety, please wear appropriate clothing and shoes specially designed for hiking. It is also essential to apply sunscreen, bring a water bottle and prepare some snacks to share during the picnic.

Looking forward to exploring nature with you this weekend! If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua

One Possible Version:

Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” My jaw dropped when I heard this. “Was she outside all night? She could be frozen to death!” I raised my voice, a surge of rage storming inside. “But ... ” Jordan bit back his words, stunned. I grabbed my coat and rushed outside, praying the cat had survived the night. Jordan followed with intense anxiety on his face. We looked into every hole and corner where Meatball possibly may go. Luckily, several minutes later, the poor thing was found shaking and curling into a tiny ball beneath a car. I picked her up immediately, unsure whether she was alive or dead. At the sight of this, Jordan was close to tears and murmured “Sorry!” all the time with guilt and regret gnawing his heart. “We need a vet, now!” I urged.

As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. “I shouldn't have let you out. I'm so sorry, buddy!” he apologized repeatedly in a soft voice. As we arrived at the animal hospital, I saw her eyes open a bit. “Thank goodness.” I thought to myself. Given careful examination and timely treatment, the little creature was finally rescued. At the sound of her familiar meow again, we breathed a sigh of relief. On our way home, Jordan held Meatball in his arms tightly as if afraid of losing it again. “We both are supposed to observe the curfew. It's for our own good. ” he joked to the little thing as he stroked her back. At that moment, I suddenly realized that it was this particular experience that gave my teenage son a valuable lesson and enabled him to understand a loving parent's good intention.
