阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
If the poems you read at school made you think poetry is old-fashioned, here are four poets whose work will make you look at poetry in a different way. Brian Bilston
Brian Bilston’s poetry is definitely more relevant to today’s issues. He covers subjects such as climate change, modern technology and international events. Although Brian uses rhyme in some of his work, it is extremely effective, especially as so many are humorous poems. He has a skill for word play. He also shares his poems online, making them more accessible to today’s audience. Ada Limón
Ada is a well-known American poet, and has released several collections of poetry. Her poems are deeply rooted in nature, emotion and relatable metaphors(比喻). Her work feels like a natural progression from the poetry covered in schools. There is still an artistic weaving and careful placement of words, but the messages and inner meanings are more suitable for a modern audience. Tracy K Smith
Tracy was the winner of the Best First Book by an African American poet, with her 2003 collection, The Body’s Question. Her poems cover important issues around race, family, going beyond from childhood into adulthood and much more. Each is easy to understand and relate to, while at the same time, deeply personal. She has a natural talent for connecting with her audience.
Mel Wardle Woodend
Mel has several published collections including two books for children, making poetry more accessible to them. She also has a collection called Just a Thought, which raises
awareness of mental health issues. This topic was rarely discussed at school, so Mel’s work is progressive and inviting to those who may not tick the typical boxes of someone who enjoys poetry.

In the days before home washing machines, people brought their clothes to the local
laundromat to be cleaned. Federico’s Family Laundromat was passed down to my parents from my grandfather.
My father used to say that the most important machine in the laundromat wasn’t the washing machine, the cash register, or the sewing machine, but the coffee pot that sat by the entrance. The coffee was free, and almost every customer would stop and have a cup while they chatted with my parents. In the hours after school or on the weekends, it was my job to keep the coffee pot filled. At least ten times per day, I would dump out the wet coffee grounds,
carefully measure the seven spoons of freshly ground beans, fill the pot with water, and turn the switch. It was such a mindless and repetitive task that I could have done it in my sleep. I remember complaining to my father one busy day. “Why do we have to give away coffee? We’re a laundromat, not a coffee shop!” I whined. My father stopped what he was doing, walked around the counter, and took a seat across from me. With a patient but serious look on his face, he spoke:
“Son, what do you do when family comes to visit the house? You offer them a cup of
coffee. You chat with them, laugh with them, bond with them. People don’t just need a place to clean their clothes. They need a familiar face and a smile. They need friendship. That is why your job is the most important job in the laundromat.”
My father’s words had the desired effect. From then on, I didn’t complain about my job. I even measured the spoon a little more carefully, ensuring that the coffee would turn out just right. After all, I had the most important job in the laundromat, and that was worth taking seriously.
4. What was the author’s duty in the laundromat? A. Serving coffee. B. Sewing clothes. C. Washing clothes. D. Collecting money. 5. What did the author think of his job in the beginning? A. Challenging. B. Terrifying. C. Relaxing. D. Boring.
6. Why was the author’s job so important according to his father? A. Customers were fond of drinking free coffee. B. Customers needed a place to clean their clothes. C. Customers wanted to make friends with his father. D. Customers were treated like family with free coffee.

7. Which words can best describe the father?
A. Patient and smart. B. Strict and friendly. C. Social and selfless. D. Honest and inspiring.
C
Liu Yexi has taken Douyin by storm. As of Nov 17, the virtual idol, who performed on the social media platform on Oct 31, had only released two short videos but attracted over 5 million followers.
Different from other virtual idols, Liu is defined as a “virtual beauty vlogger”. In her first video, Liu is doing makeup with an eye brush while dressed in a traditional Chinese costume. When she turns around, the onlookers are terrified, except one boy. Then Liu slightly brushes the boy’s eyes, allowing him to see the fantasy world in her own eyes.
The internet users marveled(使...惊叹) at its storyline, science-fiction elements and
special visual effects with cyberpunk style. Liang Zikang, the CEO of the production team, told China Newsweek that the team spent two months making the video.
Liu’s instant popularity online further reflects that the virtual idol industry in China has been booming. There are over 32,400 virtual idols that have opened accounts on video-sharing platform Bilibili in the past year, seeing a year-on-year rise of 40 percent, Chen Rui, the CEO of Bilibili, said in a speech.
“Compared with real idols and stars, the virtual ones seem to be more approachable for fans,” Shine News noted. Additionally, these virtual web celebrities(名人) won’t have scandals(丑闻).
As more young people are fascinated by these virtual figures, their commercial(商业的) value has been on the rise. Generally, they earn money by online concerts, livestreaming and related products. For example, Luo Tianyi, a well-known virtual singer, cooperated with livestreamer Li Jiaqi to promote goods in 2020.
Therefore, some people are wondering whether they will replace real humans. “These socalled virtual idols have real human teams to back them up and control them. They are not really virtual,” Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst in the internet sector, told the Global
Times. The real virtual idol will come when artificial intelligence achieves a new level of selflearning and self-training and then interacts with others, he added. 8. What do we know about Liu Yexi？
A. She becomes an online celebrity. B. She creates a virtual fantasy world. C. Her song becomes famous overnight. D. Her costume wins her great popularity. 9. What does the underlined word “booming” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Beginning. B. Arriving. C. Growing. D. Falling.
10. What makes virtual figures attractive according to Shine News? A. Their various styles. B. Their friendly character.
C. Their commercial value. D. Their wonderful performance. 11. What’s Ding Daoshi’s attitude towards virtual idols?
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Favorable. D. Indifferent.

The World Cup will take place between November and December when Qatar can reach average temperatures of 40 to 50°C. With the tournament getting closer and closer, Dr. Saud Ghani, professor of Mechanical Engineering at Qatar University, has been in the spotlight by introducing the technology that will, in fact, cool the stadiums of the 2022 World Cup.
Nicknamed Dr. Cool, Ghani believes that stadiums’ architecture should be a positive link between design and climate. In his view, the buildings shouldn’t work against climate, but rather be smart and work with it. He developed a system based on sustainability(可持续), modularity, and functionality to cool stadiums.
The first step to ensure hot air will not enter the stadiums would be to analyze their shapes to understand how the design could minimize this situation. During the process, numerous 3D models were built and tested using smoke and color lasers to analyze the airflow over the
stadium, and variants, like spectator numbers and sweat production, were added. This helped to define the dimensions of the stadium’s upper openings, optimizing their shape to prevent the entry of hot air and provide shading.
After optimizing the architectural projects, the next step was to develop the refrigeration system itself, which took place through an important finding by Ghani. It was not necessary to cool the entire stadium. The system should focus on the pitch and reach about 2 meters above the highest seat.
As a result, a punctual cooling system was created and the cooling technology is estimated to be 40% more sustainable than existing techniques. Stadiums only need to be cooled down two hours before an event, which reduces energy consumption compared to other methods. In addition, there is a recycling system in the cold air, which is cooled twice before being expelled outside, reducing the absorption of hot outside air.
So far the stadiums has been in the spotlight and their cooling system is being tested by fans and players from all over the world.
12. What is Dr. Ghani’s opinion on the building of the stadiums?
A. It should adapt to the fans and players. B. It should merely focus on sustainability.
C. It should offer various potential functions. D. It should coexist in harmony with the climate. 13. What can we learn about the building process?
A. Cooling the whole stadium is of necessity in this system. B. Stopping hot air entering the stadiums was a critical part.
C. Numerous 3D models were used to test smoke and color lasers.
D. The architectural features of the stadiums were out of consideration. 14. Which can best describe the cooling technology according to paragraph 5? A. Energy-consuming. B. Air-polluting. C. Environment-friendly. D. Time-saving. 15. What is the main idea of this passage? A. An introduction to Qatar’s World Cup. B. A clever professor nicknamed Dr. Cool.
C. The reason for Qatar’s high temperatures. D. A smart cooling system in Qatar’s stadiums

Creative ways to reduce food waste
When it comes to wasting food, part of this issue may arise from lifelong habits. 16._____ Now follow these tips to reduce unnecessary waste and save a pretty penny along the way.
Plan your meals and shop your fridge. When you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to eat, it’s easy to pick up more than you need, especially when items are at a discount. It might seem like a great short-term option. 17. Planning your meals for the week in advance can be a great way to avoid this issue.
18. There are many unknown tips that can help to keep produce fresh. For example,
potatoes, carrots and other root vegetables last longest if they are kept in the dark. You can also find many ways to keep your perishables(易腐物品) fresh by using water. Overall, learning the best way to store perishables is a sure-fire way to make everything last longer.
Get creative with leftovers. Sometimes planning fails you and you end up with leftover meals in your fridge. 19. Try out a traditional recipe, or consider something more innovative, like making egg-fried rice, which is actually made with day-old rice.
Track your trash. Do you find that you get into the habit of buying the same things every single time you set foot in the supermarket, yet every week you have things you throw away? A good way of avoiding food waste is to note down the products which end up in the bin time and time again. 20.
A. Keep foods in the fridge.
B. Store your products correctly.
C. Therefore, you can avoid buying them in the future.
D. Luckily, it’s easy to learn how to change these unwise habits.
E. However, it can cause you to spend much more money in the long term. F. This way, you may get into the shopping patterns which waste your money. G. Think about inventive ways to transform them instead of throwing them out. 第二部分 语言运用（共五节，满分 65 分）

One Saturday evening, there was a knock at my door. My friend Jacqui was standing there holding a blood stained towel 21 around something. “I saw him being hit by a car and
22 to the side of the road,” she said. “It’s an echidna(针鼹猬). He may have lost a leg.” Birds are my 23 specialty. I know a lot about the local native varieties that live
around the caravan park I manage. The Parks and Wildlife officers and tourists often drop off injured birds to me to nurse back to 24 , but I’d never handled an echidna.

When I checked on him the next day, all the leaf litter was 31 at one end of the bath
and a large hole had been dug along the side of the aviary. There was no echidna. I eventually found him attempting an(a) 32 under our front gate. He was 33 ready to go home, so
Jacqui and I drove to the spot where she’d found him and placed the cage on the 34 , and watched as he happily went off. These clever creatures know when it’s time to 35 and leave.
