A huge,12-pointed star has been fixed on top of one of the towers of Antoni Gaudí's famous Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona.This means the construction work,begun 139 years ago,nears completion.It is scheduled to be completely finished in 2026-marking 100 years since the architect's death.
When Gaudí died in 1926，less than a quarter of the exterior was complete.Since then construction has been stopped every now and then for various reasons from Spanish civil wars to funding problems.Though in 2005 the church was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site,the construction work was claimed to be illegal in 2016，and regained its building permit in 2019.
Born in 1852，Gaudí grew up fascinated by geometry and the natural wonders of the countryside.After studying architecture in school,he eventually formed his own style.In his opinion,form and function were inseparable：Beauty should be part of structure,which rules the natural world. "Nothing is art," he concluded,"if it does not come from nature." On his graduation ceremony,his director said the words that became famous later： "I do not know if we have awarded this degree to a madman or to a genius；only time will tell."
Time has obviously given the answer.In fact,Gaudí's work over the years has permanently influenced Barcelona architecture like none other before or after.The city is considered the best outdoor modernist Museum of Europe mostly because of Gaudí.
On the 10th of June 1926，Gaudí was knocked down by a tram（有轨电车）while he was doing his usual evening walk.He lost consciousness,and nobody recognized that this disheveled（蓬乱的）old man was the famous architect until he was taken to the hospital.He was buried two days later in the unfinished Sagrada Familia,following a funeral attended by thousands of people：most of the citizens of Barcelona came out to bid a final-farewell to the most universal architect that the city had ever known.

14. What is the first paragraph mainly about？ ______

A. A 12-pointed star was set on a Gaudí's church.
B. Barcelona is well known for Gaudí's architecture.
C. Gaudí's famous church will be finished at last.
D. The 100th anniversary of Gaudí's death will come.

15. Why did the construction of the church last over a century？ ______

A. It was to memorize Gaudí. B. It suffered frequent delays.
C. It was a World Heritage Site. D. It didn't get its building permit.

16. What did Gaudí's director really want to say on his graduation ceremony？ ______

A. His style was too special in his time.
B. He was not qualified for the degree.
C. His attitude to others was crazy.
D. He was too talented to be taught.

17. Which of the following is the best title for the text？ ______

A. Sagrada Familia-Gaudí's Unfinished Work
B. Barcelona-a City of Antoni Gaudí
C. Antoni Gaudí-a Genius Architect
D. Gaudí's Architecture-the Beauty of Nature

Anyone who's met a cat knows that cats are extremely difficult to keep track of.Once one of my cats disappeared somewhere in the house,hiding while I fruitlessly tore the place apart with the fear that it might have got outside.After some period of time,he just...reappeared.We'll never beat a cat in a hide-and-seek game,because cats have such sensitive ears that enable them to track their owners' whereabouts（所在之处）.
That has been proved by a new study led by Saho Takagi,a doctoral student at Kyoto University.They did an experiment at a cat cafe with home setting to observe how cats reacted to their owners' voices- without visual signals -when hearing their owners saying their names from speakers（扬声器）.The researchers placed the speakers apart from each other,out of the cats' sight,to see how the cats would respond to the sounds,especially if the owner's voice appeared to "transport" from one location to another.The cats' behaviors,especially their ear and head movements,would be carefully observed.
The researchers found that the cats were very surprised when their owners seemed to transport from one corner of the cafe to another.The results showed that cats have clear understanding of the relationship between space and sound,meaning they can mentally picture where others are through sound signals："It is generally believed that cats are not as interested in their owners as dogs are,but it turns out that they just react differently.When hearing their owners' voice,they are mentally picturing the invisible presence of their owners.This is an ability that is the basis of creativity and imagination," Takagi said. "Cats have an unbelievable mind."
"Cats seem to spend most of their time sleeping,but they may be thinking about many things,not just sleeping," Takagi added.Our furry friends hear more- and think more - than we give them credit for.But whether they choose to listen to you or not is a different story.

18. Why did the writer fail to find his hidden cat？ ______

A. It was not in the house actually. B. He didn't search carefully enough.
C. The cat has extraordinary hearing. D. The house is too big for the cat.

19. What did the research led by Saho Takagi prove？ ______

A. Cats can recognize their owners' voices.
B. Cats can know where others are through sound.
C. Cats have better hearing than other animals.
D. Cats are good at creativity and imagination.

20. What may a cat usually react when it hears its owner in daily life？ ______

A. It hides away immediately. B. It becomes very sleepy.
C. It rushes to its owner. D. It looks uninterested.

21. What does the underlined phrase probably mean？ ______

A. Recognize their abilities. B. Teach them skills.
C. Dislike their attitudes. D. Offer them rewards.

Coffee is one of the world's favorite drinks.Globally,600 billion cups are drunk each year-profits from global coffee production will top ＄400 billion in 2021.However,the coffee bean itself is under threat from climate change.Now a Finnish research group has grown beans in the lab to offer the world a sustainable espresso（浓缩咖啡）.
Plant cells were adapted to produce coffee cell cultures（培养物）and then grown at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.Bio-technologists,chemists,and food scientists worked together to select the right cell lines and developed a roasting process.Afterwards,a group of specialists created the taste and smell pattern.The result is a drink that smells and tastes almost the same as the traditionally grown coffee. "It's not perfect," admitted lead researcher Heiko Lash, "because good coffee-making is an art,but this could be the start of something beautiful."
Scientists say the issues with coffee as a commercial crop are widely known.The worst of them are the loss of trees （especially in major exporting countries like Brazil），water pollution and bio-diversity loss.Lab-grown coffee could actually do the planet a huge favor.Growing coffee cultures takes a lot of energy,but transportation can be reduced to the lowest level if production takes place locally.Besides,chemicals are not needed at all,and any water used in the process can be recycled.
"We have now proved that lab-grown coffee can be a reality," said VTT's Paige Rischer. "The true effect of this scientific work will happen through companies who are willing to re-think about food production.Finally,all efforts would result in more sustainable and healthy food for the benefit of the consumer and the planet."
The Sustainable Coffee Challenge（SCC）thinks coffee consumption could triple（三倍）by 2050，so society will need to produce the drink in much more efficient ways.Solving some of its most painful problems is a priority,but with science on our side,at least we have better alternatives.

22. What can we know about the VTT research on their coffee？ ______

A. It is grown in a traditional way. B. It is the result of a new art.
C. It develops without cell lines. D. It tastes similar to common coffee.

23. How can VTT's way of growing coffee benefit our planet？ ______

A. Coffee beans will be recycled. B. Water pollution will be reduced.
C. Little energy will be needed. D. Chemicals will be better used.

24. What did Paige Rischer expect？ ______

A. A scientific way to grow coffee. B. Consumers' changed attitudes.
C. People's environmental awareness. D. The food companies' participation.

25. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage？ ______

A. Drinking coffee is becoming a global trend.
B. Coffee bean production is under threat.
C. Lab-grown coffee has become a reality.
D. Problems of coffee growing will be solved.

Have you ever had such an experience？When chatting on WeChat,you sent someone a voice message and you thought your voice was clear and moving,but when you heard your own recorded voice,you couldn't help wondering：Is this really my voice？Why is it so ugly! (1) .The discomfort is probably due to a mix of physiology and psychology.
When you are listening to a recording of your voice,the sound travels through the air and into your ears-that's called "air conduction." (2) .These bones then transmit the sound vibrations（振动）to the cochlea（耳蜗）and finally the auditory signal will be sent to the brain.
(3) .While some of the sound is transmitted through air conduction,much is conducted directly through your head bones.That's a combination of both external（outside your head）and internal（inside your head）conduction. (4) .When you find your recorded voice thinner and higher-pitched,you are embarrassed.
Another reason why hearing a recording of your voice can be so discomforting is the "mismatch" between your self-expectation and the reality.In fact,for most of the time,we hear our own voice only when we speak,and we usually feel good.The rare chances of hearing a recorded voice of ours,to some degree,hurt our ego（自尊心）. (5) .

A.But it's not your fault.
B.That's what makes us ashamed.
C.The ear works as a fantastic sound receiver.
D.This makes you feel your voice deeper and richer.
E.The same sound causes different feelings in different ears.
F.Then,the sound hits and shakes your ear drums and small ear bones.
G.When you are listening to yourself speaking,the sound is transmitted in a different way.

China's high-speed railway system is now trying to connect (44) countries,like extending southeast to Laos and Thailand,crossing the Himalayas to India and Pakistan,and (45) Central Asian countries like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

    A Bird-watching Hike__________________
48. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
    When parents take part in our school events,it is usually embarrassing.A few weeks ago,it was my mom who played the embarrassing parent role.
    While my mom and I were shopping,we ran into my teacher,who mentioned that the school didn't have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair.And,right then and there,my mom said, "I know the perfect song-and-dance.I'll teach it to the kids!"
    Before I could say "Please don't," my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9：30 for a week.Oh,and just to be clear,she is not a professional entertainer at all；my parents run a small grocery store.
    "Um," I said on our way home, "are you sure this is such a good idea？"
    "Of course!" she said. "We'll have fun!"
    "OK，guys," my teacher said at 9：28 on Monday. "We're going to stop silent reading a little early because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair.Let's welcome Arizona's mother." I looked up and discovered my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world's funniest big hat.
    "I'm super excited to be here with you!" my mom said. "I'm going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance I learned a few years back,when I did some theater in college.Here it goes!"
    Oh,please,oh,please,I said over and over in my head,let there be a fire drill,or an urgent meeting,or a power cut,or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself-and me!
    But apparently,my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly.She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.
    I closed my eyes,covered my ears,and sank as low as I possibly could in my chair.
