No doubt you’ve heard of Plato and Socrates, but what about these lot? Here are four influential

Greek intellectuals that you should know about.

Straboc.AD63 BC—c.AD 25)

Strabo was a lively and sociable geographer who wrote a survey of ancient Mediterranean (地中海). It took him 40 years and is the longest Greek text to survive. It proved fascinating for those who rediscovered it in the Renaissance. Strabo believed that the central Mediterranean had the ideal climate with the result that its people were the most civilized!

Plutarch (c. AD 46—after 119)

Plutarch was a historian and philosopher from a landed family in Boeotia, central Greece. His most famous work was The Parallel Lives which compared one Roman to a Greek equivalent, so the Roman speaker Cicero was discussed alongside the Greek speaker Demosthenes. The Parallel Lives is full of accounts from sources now lost and was greatly influential in later ages.

Ptolemyc.ADc.AD 100—c.170)

Claudius Ptolemy was the genius who composed the most sophisticated (复杂的) ancient paper on astronomy, the Almagest. Despite placing the Earth at the centre of the universe, he gave explanations of the motion (运动) of the planets. Ptolemy also composed a geography which could be used to create fairly accurate maps of the Mediterranean and Asia.

Galen (AD 139—216)

The most famous doctor of the ancient world, Galen studied medicine as well as philosophy and was noted for using logic in his careful observation of his patients. He often achieved cures when other doctors had failed. Many of his works survived which gave him an authority lasting until the 19th century.

21. Who surveyed the ancient Mediterranean? A. Ptolemy.

B. Plutarch.

C. Strabo.

D. Galen.

22. What did Plutarch and Galen have in common? A. They were historians. C. They were skilled doctors.

B. They studied philosophy.

D. They specialized in logical reasoning.

23. How was Ptolemy different from the other intellectuals? A. He was a composer of genius. B. He composed The Parallel Lives. C. He spent 40 years writing the longest text.

B

November 14, 2021 was a perfect day for skydiving: sunny, with little wind. I was a greenhand solo jumper; I’d done 14 jumps, not enough to be licensed. It scared me, but fear always makes you a better risk taker, right? That’s what drew me to skydiving.

It took about 40 minutes to drive from my home to the hangar (飞机库) near Suffolk. I went up in the plane with a group of 15 for a jump at 1:30 pm. The mood on the plane was light—lots of joking, lots of laughing. My coach and I jumped. After 30 seconds, at around 5,500 feet, we tracked away from each other because we need lots of empty ce to safely pull our parachute (降落伞). I looked at my altimeter (高度表) and realized I was lower than I’d thought. The ground was coming up so fast! I knew I had to pull the parachute at roughly 4,000 feet, but in my rush to pull my parachute I hadn’t taken time to balance. The parachute was pulling my right leg up, while the main parachute remained in its bag.

“Just get it off”, I told myself calmly. With the ground rapidly coming into focus below me, I prepared to crash. The two parachutes began pulling in opposite directions, causing me to accelerate hard and fast toward the ground. When I crashed, my body felt like it was on fire. I tried to get up, but I couldn’t move anything below my waist. I lay with my face buried in the grass, fully conscious, for about half an hour before the first two rescuers arrived by ambulance. My injuries were serious: an injured ankle, broken leg and a spinal injury.

In February 2022, three months after the crash, I walked again for the first time and several months after that, I was able to climb to Everest base camp, and I plan to skydive again. 24. Why was the author drawn to skydiving? A. To get a license. C. To be a better risk taker.

B. To have a good mood. D. To pull the parachute.

25. What can we learn about the skydiving according to Paragraph 2? A. The author didn’t pull the parachute timely. B. The atmosphere before the jump was tense. C. The author took much time to balance his body. D. Skydiving requires little empty ce to pull the parachute. 26. Which best describes the author?

A. Adventurous and calm. C. Independent and serious. 27. What is the story mainly about? A. An injury caused by an adventure. B. An experience of pulling a parachute. C. An adventure of skydiving from Everest. D. A survival from a parachute breakdown.

B. Cautious and fearless. D. Strong-willed and humorous.

C

In an amusing atmosphere at a historical palace in the Sayeda Zeinab neighborhood of the Egyptian capital Cairo, a large audience of different ages interacted lively during an Aragoz show, the traditional Egyptian hand puppet (木偶) performance. The three-day event was meant to shed light on Aragoz as a unique art performance, give people a chance to see the beauty of puppet shows, and save the art that faces the danger of extinction.

Aragoz is a classic form of Egyptian theater art using traditional hand puppetry. During the performances, puppeteers remain hidden inside a small portable (便携式的) stage while an assistant interacts with the puppets and the crowd. It takes its name from the main puppet, whose unique voice is created with a voice modifier (修改器). Performers and the audience interact throughout the show, which creates a comic and entertaining atmosphere, and practitioners must be skilled in controlling the puppets.

The art used to be presented by traveling performers, who moved from one folk celebration to another. However, as these performances began to decline (衰退), performers and their assistants settled permanently (永久地) in fixed places. The number of surviving practitioners has decreased, while many of those who once-performed stories have now disappeared. Many people see the need of protecting the Aragoz shows, explaining that it’s not only an important traditional cultural heritage in the country, but also serves to entertain the public, especially the children.

“The audiences were enjoying our shows. Many of them only saw Aragoz on TV and in movies, while those who saw live Aragoz performances recalled childhood memories,” said Bahgat, a professor of theater at Helwan University. “We are now in the era of technology and direct communication has become limited, so I see that we have an opportunity to spread this art again because virtual social media could not make up for the human need to watch such live shows,” he

stressed.

28. Why does the author refer to the three-day performance? A. To tell a story. C. To highlight an opinion.

29. What can we learn about the puppeteers? A. They create the puppet’s unique voice. B. They interact directly with the audience.

C. They perform without being observed by the audience. D. They must be skilled in interacting throughout the show. 30. What made Aragoz performers settle down? A. The disappearance of many performers. B. The decline in popularity of the performances. C. The need to preserve traditional cultural heritage. D. An increase in the number of surviving practitioners.

31. What is Bahgat’s attitude to the future of the live Aragoz performance? A. Optimistic.

B. Negative.

C. Unconcerned. D

While it might seem like a basic skill to us, self-recognition is an indication that an animal is capable of higher mental processes. It’s most commonly tested using mirrors. Many animals will react to their reflection as though it is another individual, but some are able to recognize that what they’re seeing is themselves.

A few years ago, a team of scientists investigated whether a fish species called cleaner wrasse (清洁隆头鱼) could pass the mirror test. They marked the fish with what looked like a parasite on their throats, and placed a mirror in the tank. Many of the animals saw the mark in their reflections and erased it off their throats, indicating they realized they were looking at themselves.

In a new study, the researchers took it one step further — they wanted to check whether the fish could recognize themselves in a photograph. They presented each cleaner wrasse with four photos: one of themselves, one of an unfamiliar fish, one with their own face on a different fish’s body, and one with an unfamiliar face on their own body.

Cleaner wrasses always attack intruders (侵入者). In this case, they attacked the photos of

D. Doubtful.

B. To introduce the topic. D. To explain an argument.

unfamiliar fish but not the photos of themselves. They also didn’t attack the photos of their face on another body but did attack those of a stranger’s face on their own body, indicating the fish discern facial features more than bodily ones. These photo tests show that the fish aren’t just recognizing themselves by matching movements in a mirror. They can actually build a mental model of their own faces. After all, only fish that had been trained on mirrors could pass the photo tests.

“This study is the first to indicate that fish have an inner sense of self,” said Masanori Kohda. “Since the target animal is a fish, this finding suggests that nearly all social vertebrates (脊椎动物) also have this higher sense of self.” 32. What is the purpose of the new study? A. To find if all fishes have an inner sense of self. B. To find if the fish species could pass the mirror test.

C. To see whether the fish could identify themselves in a picture. D. To see whether all social vertebrates have an internal sense of self. 33. What does the underlined word “discern” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Recognize.

B. Attack.

C. Show.

D. Build.

34. How was the study carried out? A. By analyzing data.

C. By conducting questionnaires.

35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. What kind of fish has self-recognition? B. A research on the self-recognition of the fish. C. The fish capable of higher mental processes. D. Does all social vertebrates have self-recognition? 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The snowstorm was supposed to hit the evening of Monday. I had to leave my home to go to First Nations University, to sign a financial aid check for a student. As the finance director, I wanted to get it to him quickly, despite the approaching snowstorm. Little did I know that this decision would lead me to an unexpected meeting with André Bouvier aged 75 and his wife.

I figured I had enough time to make the trip safely. When I arrived at the office, my colleague cosigned the check and left. As I packed up, I noticed he had left his laptop bag in my office. I called him and offered to bring it to him. even though it was already late afternoon. To avoid the potentially dangerous road conditions on the highway. I decided to take the country roads to his home. On the way, I stopped to buy a cellphone charger, filled up my SUV with gas, and picked up pizzas. It took me about 15 minutes to drop off the laptop case at my colleague’s house.

As I got back on the road, the snow started falling heavily. Within minutes, I was in a whiteout (乳白天空) . The snowstorm came down fast, the wind screaming. The windows were fogging up and getting covered with snow, so I opened the driver’s side window to better see the road’s edge. However, I became disoriented (迷失方向) and unsure of my location. Fearful of driving into a farmer’s field, a ditch, or worse, I decided to stop.

I kept the car running to stay warm and called 911. The ditcher (调度员) advised me to wait until morning for assistance due to the dangerous conditions. Those seconds after the call were extremely painful. Getting out to walk in a whiteout with zero visibility (能见度) and high winds—when I didn’t even know where I was—wasn’t an option. Breathe, I told myself. Panicking won’t help.

It was now about 6 p.m. and dark, and I worried about the visibility of my black SUV in the whiteout. Feeling helpless, I shared my location on Google Maps and posted a screenshot of where I was on , seeking help from anyone familiar with the area. Soon enough, people started to respond. 注意:

I’m writing to tell you a piece of good news. There will be a lecture about the benefits of running at 7 P. m next Monday. Organized by our school, the lecture will be held in our school hall.

In the lecture, some experts will give us some examples about the benefits of running. In addition, our school will also invite some students to talk about the advantages of running. In the end of the lecture, our headmaster will give a speech about the lecture, which aims to make students and teachers know the benefits of running and encourage them to build up their bodies by running.

I believe the lecture is educational, so I sincerely invite you to attend it. If you don’t mind, I want to be a translator for you to help you understand the lecture easier. I’m looking forward to your attendance 答案:参考范文

Peter and I drove around to search the neighborhood. We spotted a few cats but none were our gorgeous orange cat with his white chest and white face. I put up my lost-cat notice around the neighborhood, with a photo of my beautiful cat and our phone number. After another restless night and another empty doorstep in the morning, I thought sadly, “He’s not an outdoor cat. He could not possibly survive two nights out there. We were never going to see him again.”

I was saying to myself “Never say never” when I heard something scratching the door at 10:00 p.m. I opened the door and found Garfield was right there! With excitement, I picked him up and shouted to the living room: “He is back! Garfield is back!” All of my family gathered around Garfield and me, greeting and comforting him. We all took turns holding him and fussing over him as the long-lost friend that he was. Garfield’s still an indoor cat. He’s such an important part of our family that we can’t afford to lose him again. 听力材料: Text 1

Although there are no guarantees when it comes to preventing memory loss, certain activities might help. Consider the following simple ways to sharpen your memory. ⑥⑥Include Physical Activity in Your Daily Routine

Physical activity increases blood flow to your whole body, including your brain. This might help keep your memory sharp. ⑥⑥Stay Mentally Active

⑥Just as physical activity helps keep your body in shape, mentally stimulating activities help keep your brain in shape—and might keep memory loss at bay. Do crossword puzzles. Take alternate routes when driving. Volunteer at a local school or community organization. ⑥Socialize Regularly

Social interaction helps ward off depression and stress. Look for opportunities to get together with

loved ones, friends and others—especially if you live alone. ⑥Sleep Well

Sleep plays an important role in helping you consolidate your memories, so you can recall them down the road. Make getting enough sleep a priority. ⑥Eat a Healthy Diet

A healthy diet might be as good for your brain as it is for your heart. Eat fruits, vegetables and whole grains. What you drink counts, too. Too much alcohol can lead to confusion and memory loss.
