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, UKDeparts daily; Distance —509 miles; Duration —13 hours and 30 minutesThis 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 ZambiaDeparts twice a week; Distance — 1,160 miles; Duration — 46 hoursFew 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, PeruDeparts twice a week; Distance — 241 miles; Duration—10 hoursTraveling 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 are the longest train rides nationwide.B. They travel to highlands.C. They are over a thousand miles.D. They make weekly departure.22. On which journey can passengers watch people’s daily life outside the train?A. Perurail’s Lake Titicaca Railway.B. London to Fort William on the Caledonian Sleeper.C. Tazara Railway.D. The Beijing to Lhasa Express.23. What can passengers do on Perurail’s Lake Titicaca Railway?A. Admire the view in the open air.B. Travel around Lake Titicaca.C. Have a deep understanding of towns and villages.D. Go through two countries on a journey.BMy 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.CAs AI art generators 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 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.DThere 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.第二节 （共      5 小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分）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。For many freshmen, this will really be their first time handling money on their own.

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. counted42.

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 me 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. “It’s 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. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________    Sprint hard and laugh until the end.  全力冲刺，笑到最后。
