文章大意:本文是一篇议论文,主要讲述了虽然电动汽车更加清洁、更加环保,但是电动汽车本身有两大问题亟待解决,而且汽车电动化并不意味着零碳,实现全球交通电动化还有很长的路要走。

1 . We are all aware of the damaging pollution that’s created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world’s cities are blocked with traffic, creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be? There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done?

The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol. There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into. Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too.

Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: “The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars.” These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range. Cost is another issue that may discourage people from switching to electric power. But some countries offer incentive, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.

These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants. But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future. “It’s emission-free motoring, but the car has to be built, the battery has to be built, and the electricity does come from somewhere.” Maybe it’s time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport.

1. Which statement can we infer from the question at the end of Paragraph 1?
A.Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems.
B.Probably it is hard to procure a greener future by means of electric vehicles.
C.We should not be too optimistic about the future.
D.It’s not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones.
2. What does the underlined word “incentive” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Improvements.B.Drawbacks.C.Communications.D.Bonuses.
3. According to the passage, which opinion the author might agree to?
A.Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap forward”.
B.There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric.
C.Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future.
D.Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future.
4. What is the most suitable title for the text?
A.Total Electric Traffic: a Long Way to Go.
B.Electric Power or Petrol: a Tough Decision to Make.
C.Petrol and Diesel Vehicles: a Main Source of Gases.
D.Electric Vehicles: a Road to a Modern Society.

文章大意:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了肯尼亚海滩上大量废弃的人字拖问题,并详细描述了Ocean Sole组织如何通过创新和环保的方式来解决这个问题。

2 . Flip-flops (人字拖) are the most popular type of shoe in the world. They’re comfortable, they’re easy to wear and they’re inexpensive. Unfortunately, most of them are also terrible for the environment. In Kenya, this is a huge problem, and around 90 tons of flip-flops wash up on its shores annually.

In the late 1990s, when Julie Church was working as a marine (海洋的) conservationist in Nairobi, she found an entire beach “just covered in flip-flops”. Around that time, Church also noticed children making toys out of the thousands of flip-flops that had made their way to the country’s beaches. She began working with the kids’ mothers to encourage them to not just collect the shoes, but also turn them into artworks. The families could then sell this art at local markets, providing another means of income.

The idea took off, and in 1998, Church founded Ocean Sole as a nonprofit. This year alone, the organization has upcycled more than 750,000 flip-flops and collected more than 47,000 kilos of waste. Additionally, Ocean Sole directly impacts more than 1,000 Kenyans, many of whom work as flip-flop collectors or artists, and contributes 10% to 15% of overall income to career and educational programs for residents, as well as beach cleanup and conservation efforts.

Ocean Sole is continuously growing and looking to keep waste off Kenya’s beaches and out of its water. When it comes to growing the Ocean Sole organization, Church has three “mantras (真言)”: trust to trade, trade to awareness, and awareness to protection. Church would like to put together toolkits and other resources to bring this concept to other places around the world that have similar problems. Ocean Sole is also encouraging companies to use more eco-friendly materials when making flip-flops. “I think it’s time for us to start looking for an alternative shoe, or an alternative material, to fit that kind of fashion need,” Church has said. “Our products need to develop.”

1. What was the main reason for founding the nonprofit?
A.To help Kenyans get healthy.
B.To develop children’s hands-on skills.
C.To protect Kenya’s marine environment.
D.To provide children with artistic flip-flops.
2. What can we say about the organization according to Paragraph 3?
A.It is growing in a controlled way.
B.It has a smaller impact than expected.
C.It is running for profit since founded.
D.It has achieved many things with one move.
3. What does Church advise shoe companies to do?
A.Lead the fashion trend.B.Advance their products.
C.Practice her three “mantras”.D.Develop global cooperation.
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A.Environmental challenges in Kenya.
B.Flip-flops are out of date in Kenya.
C.Ocean Sole turns flip-flops into art.
D.Ocean Sole develops a new national art.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了 2023 年《英孚英语熟练度指标》反映的问题:年轻人的英语熟练度正在逐渐减弱。

5 . The 2023 EF English Proficiency (水平) Index (EPI) that measures English language ability worldwide shows a worrying problem about English language proficiency. The index is based on test results from 2.2 million people in 113 countries.

Results were reported for the first time in 2015. Since then, the English proficiency of young people has decreased by 89 points. The EPI defines young people as being 18 to 20 years of age, and it notes that they are mostly stable with big decreases in a few large countries. India, Indonesia and Mexico showed the largest ability decreases among youth.

The report noted that the decrease appears to have taken place when the COVID-19 pandemic impacts normal education. There has been a decrease in Mexico for nearly 10 years. However, working adults, about 26 years old and older, have been improving their English since 2015. It is still widely acknowledged that the value of a shared language is most recognized in the workplace. English creates possibilities for individuals and productivity for organizations.

Results also show a difference between men and women, which is called a gender gap. Men’s English ability has improved by 14 points since 2015, while women’s has decreased by 19 points. The lack of women in international jobs is one reason for the gender gap. But the gender gap among those aged 18 to 25 might demonstrate a problem caused by educational systems themselves or a social problem schools are failing to address.

There are different opinions about why the decrease exists. Many people think artificial intelligence (or AI) tools could also be a key reason. Jeannie Tse is a country manager at EF Hong Kong and Macau. He thinks that while AI has changed the way young people work and learn, the importance of schools, teachers and face-to-face instruction remains. “I don’t believe that AI can completely replace language learning, but educators can use AI to enhance language learning methods,” said Jeannie Tse.

1. Why are working adults trying to improve their English?
A.To increase their income and knowledge.
B.To be involved in better working environment.
C.To obtain more chances and better working efficiency.
D.To create a harmonious working environment for themselves.
2. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A.Most women don’t like international jobs.
B.Educational systems contribute to the gender gap in English proficiency.
C.Women’s English proficiency decreases with age.
D.There widely exists the phenomenon of discrimination against women.
3. What’s Jeannie Tse’s attitude to the role of AI and face-to-face teaching?
A.Objective.B.Positive.C.Uncertain.D.Uncaring.
4. What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Young People’s Attitudes towards English Vary
B.English Learning Has Become a Burden Worldwide
C.Results from a Report Show some Alarming Problems
D.Young People’s English Language Ability Is Decreasing

文章大意:本文是一篇议论文。作者通过日常生活中Alexa和Siri的例子,提出自己的论点——人工智能会阻止人们之间更深层次的交流。接着开始提出自己对于无人驾驶汽车的看法和担忧,并提出需要进一步提升无人驾驶汽车的软件和硬件,让它们更好、更安全地服务于人们。

6 . We are encountering real-world examples of how AI can harm human relations. As digital assistants such as Alexa or Siri become popular, we become accustomed to talking to them as though they were alive. Writing in these pages several years ago, Judith Shulevitz described how some of us are starting to treat them as friends and therapists. Shulevitz herself says she confesses (忏悔) things to Google Assistant that she wouldn’t tell her husband. If we grow more comfortable talking to our devices about our secrets, what happens to our human marriages and friendships? Designers and programmers typically create devices whose responses make us feel better—but may not help us be self-reflective or think over painful truths. As Al goes deeper into our lives, we must face the possibility that it will prevent our emotions and deep human connects.

Besides, we will fight with some other challenges. The age of driverless cars, after all, is upon us. These vehicles promise to considerably reduce the exhaustion and distraction that put human drivers in danger, thus preventing accidents. But what other effects might they have on people? Driving is a very modern kind of social interaction, requiring high levels of cooperation. I worry that driverless cars, by taking away from us an occasion to exercise this ability, could contribute to its decline.

Not only will these vehicles be programmed to take over driving duties and hence to remove from humans the power to make moral judgments (for example, about which pedestrian to hit when a crash is unavoidable) , they will also affect humans with whom they’ve had no direct contact. For instance, drivers who have steered awhile alongside an autonomous vehicle traveling at a steady, changeless speed might drive less attentively, thus increasing their likelihood of accidents once they’ve moved to a part of the highway occupied only by human drivers. Alternatively, experience may reveal that driving alongside autonomous vehicles travelling in perfect accordance with (按照) traffic laws actually improves human performance.

Either way, we should be careful to launch new forms of AI without first taking such unexpected social effects into account. We must apply the same effort that we apply to the hardware and software that make self-driving cars possible to managing AI’s potential effects on those outside the car. After all, we install brake lights on the back of your car not just, or even primarily, for your benefit, but for the sake of the people behind you.

1. What can be inferred about human relationships from the first paragraph?
A.AI will lead to distant inter-personal relationships.
B.We will feel comfortable speaking to others online.
C.AI will enable people to communicate more with others.
D.We will be more self-reflective in interaction thanks to Al.
2. In Paragraph 2, the phrase “its decline” refers to the decline in _______..
A.drivers’ interaction with the cars
B.drivers’ exhaustion and distraction
C.our ability to cooperate with others while driving
D.our ability to deal with emergencies while driving
3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of driverless cars?
A.They may be better at making more judgments than human drivers.
B.They need to vary their speed to make contact with human drivers.
C.They may make human drivers in other cars drive more safely.
D.They need to force human drivers to concentrate in the car.
4. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A.To present the challenges brought by AI.
B.To explain the reason why AI may harm human relations.
C.To put forward how to solve the unexpected effect of AI.
D.To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of driverless cars.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了低热量、低脂肪和高纤维的饮食选择和习惯开始在中国流行。

9 . Many of us like to eat out and treat ourselves to delicious food. We are used to choosing hearty (丰盛的), fat-filled dishes and sugary desserts, which are not easily cooked at home.

The recent rise of light meals, however, gives us a smarter choice. According to Economic Daily, low-calorie, low-fat and high-fibre meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery plat-forms.

The country saw a rapid increase of restaurants concentrating on light meals, from just 600 in 2017 to more than 3,500 in 2018. According to a report published by Meituan, a major online food delivery plat-form, the number of light meals ordered online also rose 75 percent from the previous year.

Having a light meal, however, doesn’t mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids oily, salty and spicy food. Instead, it contains things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients (营养物) are the theme of the light meal.

These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That’s probably why so many people, especially the youths are into them. They see it as “a great way to avoid getting fat,” wrote the Telegraph.

“After eating several light meals, I now prefer light flavours,” Zou Jing, a college teacher in Wuhan, told China Daily. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef, eggs, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.

These changes in eating behaviour are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food, says Walter Willett, chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health, US. “Diet quality, not quantity, is important for both weight control and long-term well-being,” Willett told The New York Times.

So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.

1. What are light meals?
A.Fat-filled dishes.B.Low-calorie and high-fibre meals.
C.Sugary desserts.D.Meat free dishes.
2. What is the main way that the author used to prove the popularity of light meals in China?
A.Listing numbers.B.Giving examples.
C.Giving descriptions.D.Showing other people’s opinions.
3. Why do many young people enjoy light meals, according to the article?
A.They are usually colourful.
B.They are simple and convenient.
C.They can help people control their weight.
D.They are cheaper than other meals.
4. What do we know from the last two paragraphs?
A.Light meals will stay popular for a while.
B.One’s eating habit shows their personality.
C.It’s important to eat the right amount of good food.
D.There is a change in attitude toward healthy eating.
