一、阅读理解
Kimchi, which tastes similar to the Chinese Pao Cai, is not only a main dish eaten at nearly every meal by Koreans, but also an important ingredient(配料)in many other Korean foods.
While the most popular variety is the spicy kimchi made of cabbage, there are more than 100 different types of kimchi made of various vegetables, like radish(小萝卜), onion or carrot. Thanks to its unique fermentation(发酵)process, kimchi is selected by the American magazine Health as one of the top five healthiest foods in the world and helps prevent the growth of cancer.
Cabbage Kimchi
Enjoyed by most Koreans, Cabbage Kimchi is made with a whole, uncut salted cabbage mixed with Korean chili powder, garlic, fish sauce(酱)and other spices.
Radish Kimchi
The basic ingredients used for creating this kimchi are the same to those used to make Cabbage Kimchi, except that the cabbage is replaced with radish. The distinct characteristics of this kimchi are that it is pleasantly hard and that it makes a noise when you chew it.
Water Kimchi
This is a less spicy kind of kimchi that uses both cabbage and radish. Using a great deal of kimchi water, it tastes sweeter than other types of kimchi due to the addition of sliced fruits such as apple and pear.
Young Radish Kimchi
Young Radish Kimchi is prepared and eaten in summer when cabbages are not yet ready for harvest. This kimchi is made using young summer radishes, mixed with Korean chili powder and green onions, giving it a unique smell and taste.
1．Which kimchi tastes sweet and less spicy?
A．Water Kimchi. B．Cabbage Kimchi.
C．Radish Kimchi. D．Young Radish Kimchi.
2．When is Young Radish Kimchi prepared?
A．In spring. B．In summer.
C．In autumn. D．In winter.
3．What can we say about the Korean kimchi?
A．It tastes the same to Pao Cai. B．It has to be mixed with onions.
C．It is a type of fermented food. D．It is just used as an ingredient.

China has planted millions of trees in its north over the past two decades as part of its fight against expanding deserts.
The effort paid off. Around the year 2000, deserts across the country were still expanding by 10, 400km a year. But in 2017, the State Forestry Administration reported that China’s deserts were decreasing by more than 2, 400km2 a year. The achievement was confirmed by a 2018 study from the Laboratory of Climate and Environmental Sciences in Paris.
“In 1999, the Chinese government began planting millions of trees in its Grain for Green Program. It was intended to repair damaged farmland in the northern Loess Plateau, which is roughly the size of France,” says Philippe Ciais, a climate researcher at the laboratory. “I was there a few months ago, and it is indeed amazing that once bare landscapes are now almost fully covered by plants.”
And China is doubling its effort and has announced a target of 30% forest coverage by 2050. At the moment, the coverage is 22%.
“The growth of forests is significant and necessary progress in the fight against desertification,” says Jianping Huang, a climate researcher at Lanzhou University. “But it’s still too early to determine whether it has solved the problem. In northwestern China, researchers have found that many of the plant species introduced to the Loess Plateau use more water than native vegetation. A 2016 study found that the restored ecosystem was already using too much rainfall and reducing the amount of water that runs off to rivers. It could lead to water shortages for humans.”
Considering water shortages is important, the national forestry department has recognized the error of planting trees in dry areas. In recent years, it has worked more closely with researchers and communities to find ways to seed less-thirsty plants that have economic value. These include plants used in traditional Chinese medicine, which farmers can harvest and sell.
“All programs need to take into account local conditions,” the forestry department said in March. “Our efforts should go towards keeping vegetation healthy, rather than simply planting trees.”
4．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The effort of planting trees.
B．The worsening desertification.
C．The hard fight against expanding deserts.
D．The result of the Grain for Green Program.
5．What is China’s target for forest coverage by 2050?
A．22%. B．30%. C．44%. D．52%.
6．What is Jianping Huang concerned about?
A．The rapid growth of the foreign species.
B．The fast losses of native plants and trees.
C．The war for water between trees and humans.
D．The quickly declining rainfall in the dry areas.
7．What has the forestry department learned from the tree-planting effort?
A．To put economic value first. B．To consider the income of all parties.
C．To base its decisions on local conditions. D．To wait for complete scientific evidence.

Since its birth, the dollar has undergone many updates and changes, but nothing compares to the change being debated today: to adopt a digital dollar, which is one of the central bank digital currencies(CBDC)that can be stored in apps or “digital wallet” on our smartphones.
It’s a cashless future that other countries are already embracing. China, for example, has already adopted its digital cash, E-CNY, in many cities on a trial basis. India this week said it would do the same soon. Now the US is weighing whether it should accept a digital dollar with such enthusiasm.
Why do we need a digital dollar when we have such cashless payments such as Alipay and Apple Pay?
Reducing fees is one clear benefit. When we make a payment on our smartphones today, it may seem immediate, but a lot happens behind the scenes. The cashless payment systems, such as Alipay and Apple Pay, have to inform a whole series of banks, to confirm who we are and how much money is in our bank accounts, before any payment is actually made. At each step of the way, there are fees. In 2021, they added up to more than $110 billion, which was generally shouldered by businesses. With a digital dollar, we can avoid those middlemen in theory. If we want to buy a sandwich, for example, we can pay from a “digital wallet” directly to a cashier.
Another argument for creating a digital dollar is to help Americans who don’t have bank accounts. According to a survey, more than 5% of US families are “unbanked”. Providing them with a digital wallet would allow people to participate in our increasingly cashless financial system.
What are the challenges?
Without question, the biggest concern is privacy, because the central bank could collect a vast amount of data. That could be useful to regulators who want to fight against money laundering(洗钱), for example, but it would also raise serious privacy concerns.
Security is another important problem. To adopt a digital dollar, the US government would need to modernize the country’s financial systems to avoid online attacks.
“So I think it’s more important to do this right than to do it fast,” the central bank leader Powell told reporters. “It might take five to ten years to introduce a digital dollar in the US.”
8．What does the underlined word “embracing” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Discussing. B．Refusing. C．Welcoming. D．Losing.
9．What can be inferred about the “digital wallet”?
A．It can be considered as a bank account. B．It has to be used on Alipay and Apple Pay.
C．It just charges big companies for payments. D．It is a digital cash created by a central bank.
10．What is the biggest problem with a digital dollar?
A．Acceptance. B．Security. C．Cost. D．Privacy.
11．What can we know about a digital dollar?
A．It is not necessary at present. B．It takes time to be introduced.
C．The US has to adopt it faster. D．Americans will not accept it.

The Louvre is the most popular museum in the world. Last year, about 10 million visitors, more than 75% of whom were foreign tourists, came to the museum. About 80% of them were here for Mona Lisa-and most of them left unhappy.
According to a survey of British tourists earlier this year, Mona Lisa was voted the world’s most disappointing attraction, beating out Checkpoint Charlie, Spanish Steps, and Urinating Boy in Brussels.
If the museum thinks that it is inspiring the next generation of art lovers, it is in fact doing the opposite, thanks to the huge crowds in front of the picture. The overcrowding here was so bad that Jean-Luc Martinez, the museum’s director, has to admit, “We have to take steps to deal with the overcrowding in the coming years: new entrances and timed tickets for the museum.”
He misunderstands the problem-for the Louvre, with more gallery space than any museum on the planet, isn’t that crowed. On my last visit, the French painting wing had just a few visitors. Even Venus de Milo, perhaps the second most famous work of art in the museum, only drew a comfortable few dozen visitors. In other words, the Louvre does not have an overcrowding problem. It has a Mona Lisa problem. No other famous painting comes anywhere close to monopolizing (垄断) a museum like she does. It is time for the Louvre to admit its failure. The museum does not need new entrances or timed tickets.
Instead, it only needs to set up a moving walkway in front of Mona Lisa and let Samsung or another smartphone company to fix its cutest cameras around her. So visitors can strike a pose on the moving walkway, and download their cutest selfies (自拍像) with Mona Lisa later. I can even picture the moving walkway smoothly guiding tourists past the Mona Lisa into the gift shops, where millions of selfiers can take time to enjoy their pictures, and spend money.
It is time to set it up now since the 2024 Summer Olympics is around the comer.
12．Which was the most disappointing attraction according to the survey? ________
A．Mona Lisa. B．Venus de Milo. C．Spanish Steps. D．Urinating Boy.
13．What does the author think of Jean-Luc Martinez’s solution? ________
A．Amazing. B．Practical. C．Expensive. D．Unworkable.
14．Why is it so crowded in front of Mona Lisa? ________
A．A lot of visitors stay there to appreciate it. B．The room housing the picture is too small.
C．Too many visitors want to take a picture with it. D．The ticket for the famous painting is too cheap.
15．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? ________
A．To share his unpleasant visit to the Louvre.
B．To introduce a famous painting in a museum.
C．To offer a simple solution to the Mona Lisa problem.
D．To show the opportunity brought by the 2024 Olympics.

41．考查名词。句意：曲棍球守门员是团队运动中少有的能够通过着装的选择来展示自己的历史、家庭和个性的运动员。空处应填名词作宾语，choice“选择”符合题意，可数名词，此处指服装的选择，是单数意义。故填choice。

43．考查时态。句意：“她一直想要尊重她的中国传统，”克里斯·乔斯维亚克解释说，他帮助设计了这位26岁的门将的护膝。空处为直接引语的谓语动词，结合语境和时间状语always判断此处时态为一般现在时，主语she是第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填wants。
44．考查冠词。句意：“她一直想要尊重她的中国传统，”克里斯·乔斯维亚克解释说，他帮助设计了这位26岁的门将的护膝。此处特指26岁的曲棍球守门员周嘉鹰，应用定冠词修饰。故填the。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者作为交换生在英国第一天上课的经历。
【详解】第一处：考查形容词。句意：十年前，我有幸有机会作为一名交换生去英国学习。be动词后用形容词作表语。故将luck改为lucky。
第二处：考查冠词。句意：十年前，我有幸有机会作为一名交换生去英国学习。“exchange student”是可数名词单数 ，表示“一名交换生”，前面加不定冠词，exchange是元音音素开头的单词，前面用an。故exchange前加an。
第三处：考查副词。句意：我上的是那里最著名的一所学校。表示去英国那里学习，用there表示“那里”。故将here改为there。
第四处：考查副词。句意：第一天，我如此紧张以至于我觉得我的心狂跳。修饰形容词nervous用副词so，so和that构成固定句型：so…that…“如此……以至于……”。故将such改为so。
第五处：考查动词的时态。句意：我害怕表达自己，因为我以前从来没有与陌生人用英语交流过。根据时间状语before可知，“communicate”这一动作发生在“was afraid”之前，表示“过去的过去”发生的动作，用过去完成时。故将have改为had。

第六处：考查副词。句意：然而，我的老师说我必须在全班面前介绍自己。前后文是转折关系，不是因果关系。故将Therefore改为However。

第七处：考查代词。句意：然而，我的老师说我必须在全班同学面前介绍我自己。主语和宾语表示同一事物，宾语用反身代词。故将me改为myself。
第八处：考查形容词。句意：当我开始说话时，我立刻感到放松。relaxing通常表特征，意思是“令人放松的”；relaxed表人的主观感受，意思是“感到放松的”。此处表示“我感到放松的”，应用relaxed。故将relaxing改为relaxed。
第九处：考查介词。句意：我很高兴我终于做到了。形容词happy后that引导从句，介词about是多余的，故去掉about。
第十处：考查定语从句。句意：对我来说，这是一个非常特别的日子，我永远不会忘记。day是先行词，在非限制定语从句中作forget的宾语，用which引导从句，故将when改为which。
52．Dear Susan,
How is everything going? There’s a live music concert this Saturday evening at the theatre in the city. I’ve got two tickets from my mother. I am wondering whether you could go with me.
The concert is about Chinese folk music, and the players are the top musicians in China. For a Chinese learner, I think you might be interested in it. The concert is from 19: 00 to 21: 00. If you are coming, we can meet at 18: 30 at the entrance of the theatre.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
