1、 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。
"I first saw the Great Wall on a map in 1967 when I was only 11 years old. I spent a long time trying to work out how long the Great Wall was, but I failed. I thought I would surely go there one day," said William Lindesay, a Great Wall researcher from the UK.
The Englishman did what he said. He came to China in 1986 with a plan to run the whole length of the Great Wall. But that year his goal was not achieved. William came back a year later and realized his dream. In 1990, he decided to live in China. Then he bought a farmhouse near the Great Wall.
"Many people wonder why I'm obsessed greatly by the Great Wall. The first reason is that it's beautiful, and the second thing is that it's outdoors. There's history in the outdoors. You need to move to discover it. And the third point is it's fun. The Great Wall is in my mind every day," said William.
William's younger son Thomas said, "I often describe my childhood as 'wild', staying at the foot of the Great Wall almost every weekend. It's amazing because not many people get to see such world heritage all the time, and I got to see it all year around." His elder son James said, "Living here has a lot of effect on how I see the Great Wall. It's almost like my backyard, so I should protect it."
William has published 11 books about the Great Wall in 30 years. He has also completed several photo projects on the Great Wall. "It made me so happy when our film was shown on the BBC. For the first time we got an hour and a half to open the eyes of the British , and show them what the Great Wall is. We received lots of emails from people saying that they really enjoyed it and didn't know that China was so beautiful. I became a 'Great Wall ambassador (大使)',"said William.
(1)、What do we know about William Lindesay?A、He runs a farm near the Great Wall. B、He measured the length of Great Wall in 1986. C、His father was an expert on the Great Wall. D、He didn't climb the Great Wall in his teens.(2)、What does the underlined word "obsessed" mean in paragraph 3?A、Reminded. B、Attracted. C、Struck. D、Buried.(3)、Why Thomas and James are mentioned in paragraph 4?A、To introduce their home's location. B、To encourage people to protect the Great Wall. C、To describe the childhood of William's children. D、To show the Great Wall's impact on William's children.(4)、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A、William's sons will work in the film industry. B、William has become a famous director for his film. C、William has promoted the spread of Chinese culture abroad. D、William will work for the Chinese government in the future. -

13、 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。
Merchant Tovel loved attention. Knowing that people would listen if he had news to share, he went around his village making up stories about the local rabbi(犹太教神职人员).
"He mixes dairy and meat!" said Tovel.
The townspeople shook their heads, for they all knew that dairy and meat must not be mixed in the course of any meal.
"And he sneaks(偷拿) food on Yom Kippur, " added Tovel.
"Not Yom Kippur!"cried the townspeople.
For not only is Yom Kippu r the most important fasting day of the year, but it is also the holiest Jewish holiday.
Later, alone in his home, the talebearer felt bad about what he had done. His stories about the rabbi had spread quickly. "I will go to the rabbi and beg him for forgiveness, "he decided. Then all would be well again.
The next morning, he went to the temple and knocked on the door. "Rabbi, "he called, "it is merchant Tovel, coming to see you about an important matter. "
"Come in, Tovel, "the rabbi said warmly, opening the door.
In a matter of moments, Tovel told the rabbi all the things he had said. Then he asked, "What can I do to make things right?"
The rabbi thought for a moment, then told him, "You must take a feather pillow(枕头), cut it open, and feed the feathers to the wind. "
Tovel thought that the rabbi's suggestion was strange, but the task seemed simple enough. And if it would take away the guilt he felt, then why not do it?Tovel thanked the rabbi and quickly left the temple. At home, the talebearer grabbed a feather pillow, waited for the afternoon winds to pick up, then climbed to the top of a hill. There, he cut open the pillow and watched the feathers float far and wide across the land. Satisfied, Tovel returned to tell the rabbi of his deed. "Now go and gather those feathers, "the rabbi commanded.
注意: 续写词数应为 150 左右;
"But they are everywhere!" Tovel cried. "How will I get them all?"
Feeling disappointed, Tovel returned to tell the rabbi about the feathers he couldn't collect.

Conflict is a normal part of any healthy relationship. The key is not to fear or try to avoid conflict but to learn how, to solve it in a healthy way.
When conflict is mismanaged, it can cause great harm to a relationship, but, when handled in a respectful, positive way, Whether you're experiencing conflict, at home, work, or school, learning skills can help you resolve differences in a healthy way and build stronger, more rewarding relationships.
It occurs whenever people disagree over their values, motivations, perceptions, ideas, or desires. Sometimes these differences appear trivial, but when a conflict triggers strong feelings, a deep personal need is often at the core of the problem. These needs can range from the need to feel safe and secure or respected and valued, to the need for greater closeness and intimacy.
Think about the opposing needs of a toddler and a parent. The child's need is to explore, so venturing to the street or the cliff edge meets that need. But the parent's need is to protect the child's safety, a heed that can only be met by limiting the toddler's exploration.
The ability to successfully resolve conflict depends on your ability to: By staying calm, you can accurately read and interpret verbal and nonverbal communication. Control your emotions and behavior. When you're in control of your emotions, you can communicate your needs without threatening, intimidating, or punishing others.
A. Since these needs are different, conflict arises.
B. Conflict arises from differences, both large and small.
C. Manage stress quickly while remaining alert and calm.
D. Conflict triggers strong emotions and can lead to hurt feeling.
E. Differing needs can result in broken deals, decreased profits and lost jobs.
F. After all, two people can't be expected to agree on everything all the time.
G. Conflict provides an opportunity to strengthen the bond between two people.

One recent report found that adults in the US check their phones, on average, 344 times a day——once every four minutes——and spend almost three hours a day on their devices in total. The problem for many of us is that one quick phone-related task leads to a quick check of our email or social media feeds, and suddenly we've been sucked into endless scrolling(滚屏).
It's a vicious circle. The more useful our phones become, the more we use them. The more we use them, the more we lay neural pathways in our brains that lead to picking up our phones for whatever task is at hand——and the more we feel an urge to check our phone even when we don't have to.
What we do know is that the simple distraction of checking a phone or seeing a notification can have negative consequences. This isn't very surprising;we know that, in general, multitasking harms memory and performance. One of the most dangerous examples is phone use while driving.
In another recent study, researchers asked participants to either put their phones next to them so they were visible (like on a desk), nearby and out of sight (like in a bag or pocket), or in another room. Participants then completed a series of tasks to test their abilities to process and remember information, their problem-solving, and their focus. They were found to perform far better when their phones were in another room instead of nearby——whether visible, powered on or not. That held true even though most of the participant s claimed not to be consciously(有意识地) thinking about their devices.
The mere proximity(靠近) of a phone, it seems, contributes to"brain drain" Our brains may be subconsciously hard at work in controlling the desire to check our phones, or constantly monitoring the environment to see if we should check our phone(eg, waiting for a notification). Either way, this diverted attention can make doing anything else more difficult. The only"fix", the researchers found, was putting the device in a different room entirely.
(1)、How does the author bring up the topic of the text?A、By offering a piece of news. B、By sharing a magazine article. C、By describing his own experience. D、By citing previous research findings.(2)、What does the underlined word" vicious" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A、Full. B、Magic. C、Tight. D、Bad.(3)、What does the author advise us to do to avoid mobile phone distraction?A、Never wait for a notification. B、Use our phone as little as possible. C、Stay away from our phone when doing things. D、Focus on one thing when finishing difficult things.(4)、What's the best title for the text?A、The Pros and Cons of Using Mobile Phones. B、How Have Mobile Phones Changed Our Brains Negatively? C、The Consequences of Using Mobile Phones. D、Do You Want to Control the Desire to Check Your Mobile Phones? -

The plastic value chain faces two key challenges:controlling plastic waste and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The chemical industry has a unique role to play in addressing these challenges. Cooperation between upstream and downstream partners is essential to develop solutions that reduce plastic pollution and emissions in plastic production. SABIC(Saudi Basic Industries Corporation)is at the forefront of these efforts.
SABIC has set specific goals, including a commitment to achieve carbon neutrality(碳中和) by 2050. To realize this goal, the company has outlined a Carbon Neutrality Roadmap that focuses on five pathways:energy efficiency;renewable energy;electrification;carbon capture, usage and storage(CCUS);and green/blue hydrogen.
Recognizing the scale of the challenges, SABIC understands that progress cannot be made alone. The company actively cooperates through initiatives, such as the Low — Carbon Emitting Technologies(LCET) initiative, where chemical companies work together to accelerate the development of technology solutions for carbon neutrality.
Partnerships are also vital in addressing plastic waste. SABIC is a founding member of the Alliance(联盟) to End Plastic Waste, an organization that brings stakeholders(利益相关者) from across the value chain together to take collective action on the ground. The alliance works towards a future where plastic products never end up in landfills or oceans, but instead are reused or transformed into new products. SABIC is also actively involved in driving the transition from a linear to a circular carbon economy. As responsible plastic producers, SABIC recognizes the importance of offering sustainable materials to customers.
Although the chemical industry has made significant progress, there is still more work to do to achieve the goals. SABIC is already making progress on the complex, long—term effort required and will continue to partner with others to increase the solutions needed to push meaningful change.
(1)、What kind of difficulty is the plastic value chain faced with?A、Exploring renewable energy. B、Reducing plastic production. C、Decreasing plastic pollution. D、Achieving carbon neutrality.(2)、What is vital for chemical companies according to paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?A、Technology development. B、Partners' cooperation. C、Carbon neutrality. D、Sustainable development.(3)、Which best describes SABIC's efforts?A、Fruitless. B、Predictable. C、Frustrating. D、Rewarding.(4)、Which can be a suitable title for the text?A、SABIC:A leader mapping the path forward. B、SABIC:A leader solving the plastic pollution. C、SABIC:A leader reducing greenhouse gas emission. D、SABIC:A leader founding the plastic value chain. -

Cyberspace(网络空间)is constantly developing and presenting new opportunities, as the desire of businesses to quickly adopt new technologies, such as using the Internet to open new channels and adopting cloud services, provides vast opportunity. But, it also brings unexpected risks and unintended consequences that can have a potentially negative effect.
Hardly a day goes by without news of a new cyber threat. Unfortunately, businesses tend to misjudge how much risk they face from cyber crimes and how quickly this risk can develop. For them, the commercial, reputational and financial risks that go with cyberspace presence are real and growing every day.
So all businesses need to do now is establish cyber security within their organization, right?
Establishing cyber security alone is not enough. Nowadays, it is not very difficult for attackers to break security and stop the overall business system. Preventive measures are not enough to stop them. With the advancement of technology, hackers(黑客)have been changing and developing. So business risk management should include risk resilience(复原力)so that businesses can respond to any damaging cyberspace activity. Cyber resilience helps businesses successfully recover to their pre-attack business processes and business operations.
Building cyber resilience is not easy. A key finding of an authentic cyber-resilience report is that no organization can respond effectively on its own to the threats from cyberspace. Organisations must work together to share intelligence and resources. In this way, the quality, usability and authenticity of intelligence will be greatly improved.
(1)、What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A、To make the development of cyberspace known. B、To show the great contributions from business. C、To make the technologies adopted by businesses attractive. D、To make the topic appealing.(2)、From the author's perspective, businesses are ____.A、lacking in awareness of cyber safety B、financially abundant C、managed successfully D、developed in judgment(3)、Cyber resilience is currently necessary for the reason that ____.A、it can prevent attacks B、threats are always transforming C、cyber security doesn't work now D、it keeps all the hackers off the internet(4)、What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A、Effective resilience can be built by an organization alone. B、Joint efforts are required in the formation of true resilience. C、A great amount of difficulty prevented building resilience. D、The cyberspace threat is nothing when cooperation is used.
