An embroidered (刺绣的) butterfly made by Liang Zhongmei is so lifelike that it could easily be mistaken for the real thing. It looks as if it could flap its colorful wings and fly free from its white cloth background.

This 55-year-old embroiderer from Guizhou Province was born in a closed and underdeveloped village deep in the mountains, where most residents live by farming or as migrant workers (农民工). Losing her left arm at a very young age meant she could not feed herself, but she refused to become downhearted, and learned embroidery from her mother diligently and determinedly.

After producing several works featuring butterflies and goldfish, she won many national professional skills awards in 2011 among people with disabilities. In 2012, she opened her workshop, with embroiderers putting their designs on the shelves to sell to locals, but business was poor.

However, Liang’s career prospered after an online commercial order. Now, clothes, ties, paintings and handicrafts produced by the workshop are sold to consumers worldwide via e-commerce platforms, with profit reaching from 300,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan annually.

As the number of orders rose, Liang employed more workers, offering jobs to more than 100 female embroiderers in the neighborhood. She has also organized training courses for jobless women. “Thanks to the online buyers, our products sell well, which has changed our lives and brought us income and dignity,” Liang said.

Wang Danqing, an online seller, has worked with Liang’s team since 2015. She said, “Many young consumers prefer products with cultural elements and personal appeal. Only by combining embroidered designs with modern life can cultural heritage be seen, loved, protected and

passed down.”

24. What do we know about Liang Zhongmei?

A. She was brought up in a well-off environment.

B. She made a fortune when her business began.

C. She became world-famous after winning awards.

D. She was strong-willed while learning embroidery.

25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 4?

A. Went wrong. B. Took off. C. Held steady. D. Broke down.

26. What can we learn from Wang Danqing’s words?

A. New designs need to be integrated into the products.

B. Expanding the range of product sales online is crucial.

C. It is Liang’s duty to pass on the embroidered technique.

D. Products with personal elements are favored by the youth.

27. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Online shopping gains popularity in China.

B. Young people take a great interest in embroidery.

C. Disabled Liang achieved success by trading embroidery online.

D. Liang became an expert in embroidery despite her disability.

C

Harvesting fruit is a very precise operation. The fruit must be picked when it is perfectly ripe. But with pickers in short supply in recent years, growers needed to quickly find another way to harvest their crops. Tevel Aerobotics Technologies came to the farmers’ rescue with the Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) that can help pick fruit.

“Not finding enough fruit pickers is every farmer’s biggest concern,” Yaniv Maor, Tevel’s founder and CEO said. Ask any farmer, anywhere in the world and they’ll tell you they don’t have the people. Food consumption is increasing, but labor availability (劳动力可用性) is decreasing. If pickers are not available, fruit will go bad on the trees. The flying robots will work day and night in almost any weather, without taking a break, to pick as much ripe fruit as possible.

Maor set up Tevel in 2017 and developed the technology after seeing young Israelis pick fruit and get tired after a few hours. He realized that there had to be a better way, so he began developing the software and artificial intelligence (AI) that are needed for the smart robot pickers. “We have to teach the robots about the structure of each fruit, how to access the fruit and how to rotate (转动) it and disconnect it from the tree,” Maor said.

The flying robots circle round trees and pick only the ripe ones with a twist (扭动) of their integrated grasper arms. The robots are fitted with cameras that use AI to assess the size and color of the fruit so that only the ripe ones are picked. The cameras also ensure that the robots’ paths are not blocked.

The robots are currently picking Asian pears in Israel. In 2022, the FARs were used in pilot programs in Italy to pick peaches and other fruits, as well as in the US. They are not a replacement for labor, instead, they are a solution for the inadequate human pickers. In the future fewer people will work in picking and more will work in managing the robots, analyzing the data and making decisions.

28. Why are the FARs developed?

A. To meet the shortage of pickers to pick fruit.

B. To improve the software and AI for smart robots.

C. To help farmers keep the fruit in perfect condition.

D. To relieve farmers from the tiredness of picking fruit.

29. What can we infer from paragraphs 2 and 3?

A. Maor developed the FARs out of curiosity.

B. The FARs can produce more fruit for food consumption.

C. Labor shortage is an urgent problem in every country.

D. The FARs can work without stop in almost any weather.

30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A. How the robots work.

B. What the robots consist of.

C. Why the robots are useful.

D. Where the robots are used.

31. What is the author’s attitude towards the FARs?

A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Unclear.

D

Tourists visiting La Gomera and El Hierro in the Canary Islands can often hear locals communicating over long distances by whistling — not a tune, but the Spanish language. The locals are communicating in Silbo, a whistled Spanish language.

Whistled languages are almost developed in rough, mountainous regions or in thick forest. That’s because whistled speech carries much farther than ordinary speech or shouting. As a result, whistled speech can be understood up to 10 times as far away as ordinary shouting. That lets people communicate even when they cannot easily approach close enough to shout. On La Gomera, for example, a few traditional shepherds (牧羊人) still whistle to one another across mountain valleys that could take hours to cross.

Whistled languages work because many of the key elements of speech can be produced in a whistle, says Meyer. We distinguish (区分) one speech sound from another by small differences in their sound frequency patterns. A long e, for example, is formed higher in the mouth than a long o, giving it a higher sound.

To language scientists, such languages are more than just a curiosity. By studying whistled languages, they hope to learn more about how our brains get meaning from the complex sound patterns of speech. Whistling may even provide a chance to know one of the most dramatic jump forward in human evolution (进化): the origin of language itself.

Despite their interest to both language experts and casual observers, whistled languages are disappearing rapidly all over the world, and some, such as the whistled form of the Tepehua language in Mexico, have already disappeared. “... now you still find whistled speech only in places that are very, very remote, that have had less contact with modernity and less access to roads,” Meyer says.

Fortunately, there is still hope. UNESCO, the UN cultural organization, has listed two whistled languages, Silbo, and a whistled Turkish, as the world’s cultural heritage. Such attention can lead to conservation efforts.

32. What led to the development of whistled languages?

A. Geographic inaccessibility.

B. Rapid increase in tourism.

C. Greater information capacity.

D. Interest of language experts.

33. Why are a long “e” and a long “o” mentioned in paragraph 3?

A. To show what key elements speech has.

B. To explain the differences between speech sound frequency patterns.

C. To prove the popularity of whistled language in the world.

D. To compare whistled languages and ordinary languages.

34. What might be a reason for the disappearance of whistled languages according to Meyer?

A. Construction of cities. B. Lack of attention.

C. Expansion of other cultures. D. Modernization.

35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A. Why People Used Whistled Languages B. How Whistles Languages Disappeared

C. How Whistled Languages Developed D. Why Whistled Languages Matter

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。

It is often a complex and tiring task to live a healthy life, but that isn’t always the case.

  36   It’s time to change the classroom environment for the health of the children.

  37   It’s not surprising that sitting for long as a child is associated with health problems as an adult. Fortunately, there’s a simple, overlooked solution to these problems — standing desks.

Over the last few years, a number of studies have shown that the benefits of the increased range of movement students experience when using standing desks are surprisingly broad.

  38   Besides, standing desks encourage higher levels of teamwork and participation among students. Standing desks also help to reduce the risk of some diseases. They can help to prevent fatness, heart disease and low spirits. Sedentary (久坐的) lifestyles are a major reason why teenagers suffer from poor mental health, while higher activity levels reduce the chances of a child experiencing such an illness.

The benefits of bringing standing desks into classrooms are obvious.   39   Otherwise they will likely hurt their muscles when standing for a long time. Standing desks usually offer a full range of motion, which includes the option to sit or lean (倾斜身体) without losing eye-level of the rest of the class, and that full range of motion is important.

Sitting isn’t horrible. It isn’t a thing we should never do. The problem is that we do it too much, and so do our children, which makes children less likely to succeed and keep healthy.   40 

A. It is time for us to stand up to stay healthy.

B. But it is important for children to use them gradually.

C. Children spend most of their school day sitting at desks.

D. Thus it’s necessary to break up the sitting with standing desks.

E. Something as cheap as a desk could be making a major difference.

F. Right now there is something we can do easily to keep our children healthy.

G. For example, they help students keep fit and avoid putting on too much weight.

Tyler Volpe, a   44  , was in the water when Todd came down. Volpe is also a physician assistant. He heard Donna’s cries for help. “I knew it wasn’t a   45   scream,” he said. “I came flying out of the water.”

Volpe started chest compression (按压) while Roy, another surfer, breathed into Todd’s mouth. Then, they switched   46   with each other. “I really thought he was   47  ,” Donna said. As Roy and Volpe continued CPR, Todd breathed   48   a few times.

The tide was starting to come in. Other surfers used their boards to form a   49   between the rescue effort and the water. “They kept him   50   until the ambulance got there,” Donna said. “It could have been two minutes or 10 days. I was watching my life   51   with his.”

Doctors used a defibrillator (除颤器) to shock his heart and   52   his heartbeat. On the second shock, he regained his feel.

Todd and Donna planned to drive back home to New Jersey that morning, but decided to first take a walk on the beach. “It is lucky we didn’t   53   because it would have happened while we were driving home,” Donna said.

第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）

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。

A book club can be an enriching, satisfying way   56   (develop) new friendships and an appreciation for reading. Or it can be a big, fat failure. The direction it takes really depends on how it   57   (plan) and managed.

Right out of the gate, talk with potential members about what they want from a book club. If their interest is purely social, think about forming a group to do social   58   (activity) together, instead.

Davina Morgan-Witts, a book club expert at BookBrowse, conducted   59   survey in 2019 of thousands of book club members. In that survey, BookBrowse found that the longer a group spends talking about a book, the   60   (happy) they are in the club. In fact, 81 percent of those in book clubs that   61   (general) discussed a book for 75 minutes or longer marked   62   (they) as “very happy”, compared to just 55 percent in groups that discussed for 20 minutes or less!

“It’s not that they say social time is unimportant but it’s secondary,” Morgan-Witts explains. “It’s because of the open discussion and the sharing of opinions   63   the friendship forms.” If you want to discuss books without all of the small talk, she suggests   64   (turn) to a public library group. Those groups tend to be much more focused   65   book discussion, rather than the social element, she says.

“Howie! You can’t go in! Mom told us to avoid Mrs. Carrigan’s house at all costs! We can’t go in there,” Howie’s big brother, Archie, yelled at the boy who had entered the older woman’s yard upon seeing her Halloween decorations.

The little kid turned and looked at his two big brothers angrily. “But she put up decorations. She wants us to come in,” Howie said, pointing at the pumpkins in the yard and the trick-or-treat sign on her doorway.

“Come out, Howie! Let’s go! I think Mom thinks she’s a ... a witch(女巫）,” his other big brother, Bobby, whispered the last part. “What? Are you afraid of her?” Howie laughed, knowing that his brothers would not like that. He saw their frowns（皱眉）, but his words were true. They were afraid. No one in the neighborhood went into Mrs. Carrigan’s house or even stayed close.

The old woman was strange. She only dressed in black and never brushed her hair. She couldn’t walk straight and never smiled at anyone, so people avoided her the few times she was seen outside. But Howie was not afraid. He was going to knock. The worst that could happen was being ignored or told to go away. Despite his big brothers’ words, he went up the tiny steps and rang the doorbell.

“Howie! Howie! No!” his big brothers whisper-yelled at him from the sidewalk, and Howie turned and put his finger to his mouth, signaling for them to shut up. But he saw their eyes widen and their faces pale even beneath the Halloween makeup they were all wearing. Howie felt something behind him and turned slowly, not knowing what to expect. He felt the cold air; he felt like ringing the bell was not a good idea.

The old woman was there, staring at him surprisedly. He saw her black clothes, and he knew precisely why everyone thought she was a witch. She looked like the ones in cartoons. But Howie squared his shoulders, raised his plastic pumpkin bucket, and said, “Trick or Treat!”
