Today, the Braille writing system is the most well-known language system used by blind people all over the world to read and write. It was1 by Louis Braille, a young blind child at the age of 12, to2 the way blind people read books at the time.
At age 10, Louis Braille got a(n)3 provided by France's National Institution of Blind Youth, where he took up piano. It was there that he first heard a(n)4 , given by a soldier, who told the children about a code (代码) his fellow soldiers used to communicate without5 , at night, in battle.
Braille was very6 and realized that the writing system could actually be adapted to a writing/reading system7 to the blind. He set out and worked to8 the soldier's code. After two years of hard work, Braille9 the now-familiar six-dot alphabet-based (基于字母表的) code. He continued to work on the system over time,10 developing a machine with a friend that let blind people type in the regular alphabet.
Braille published his system when he was 20. Despite the11 from his fellow blind students, the system was refused by some12 and school board members—they13 that blind people might take away their jobs.
Braille14 as a teacher and musician, but his system didn't spread beyond the institution. It was only after his death that the system caught attention and became the15 way blind people read and write around the world.

A competition about Versailles literature (凡尔赛文学) was carried out on Sina Weibo recently. So what is Versailles literature?
It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese manga series about aristocratic (贵州化的) life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Known as humblebragging (谦虚的吹牛), it is a boast disguised as a complaint. "" and "I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night." are some examples of Versailles literature.
The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one's successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. Most researchers concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former's insincerity.
" People don't like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers," said Francesca Gino.
So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back? "Just pretend you don't get whatever it is they try to show off," a netizen advised. ""
A. And respond with sincere pity for their complaints.
B. Having too many houses, how can I decide which one to decorate?
C. I'm fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.
D. The key factor that makes the two groups of people different is sincerity.
E. Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace or with literature.
F. However, studies show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work.
G. The intention is to show off things of materialistic values, yet pretending that's not the point.

It's a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion (侵蚀) by sand and wind.
The team is dedicated to protecting the 45,000 square meters of murals (壁画) and more than 2,400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which lasts about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. "Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve (保存) the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness to the world and inspires modern people," says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy.
Commonly seen "diseases" affecting the murals include cracking and flaking, as well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and the deposition of salts. To restore (修复) a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward.
The restoration should respect the original work and aim to maintain the murals rather than repaint them. When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a "perfect" appearance in restoration. "Cultural relics are witnesses of history," explains Su. "When you pursue the so-called intact (完好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning."
Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. "It needs a long-term research to letter preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes," Su says. But at least, they can keep the current look of the murals for as long as possible.
(1)、What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?A、To show the popularity of Dunhuang murals. B、To share the history of the ancient Silk Road. C、To stress the significance of the restoration work. D、To describe the ways of protecting cultural heritage.(2)、Which of the following best describes the restoration work?A、Creative. B、Flexible. C、Interesting. D、Demanding.(3)、What should restoring murals focus on according to paragraph 4?A、Spotting the damaged murals in time. B、Fixing the missing parts of murals. C、Maintaining the current look of murals. D、Repainting the appearance of murals.(4)、Which is the best title for the text?A、The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings B、The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves C、The Successful Experiment on Cave Conservation D、The Role of the Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese Culture -
4、 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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
If, as the saying goes, you are what you eat, then it stands to reason you also excrete (排泄) what you are. If we follow this rule, it means that our bodily waste reflects our diet and overall health. For instance, analyzing human excreta can help find abnormal levels of certain chemicals, which might show signs of some diseases.
A new study shows that analysis of a city's wastewater can also provide insights into the health and behavior of its residents. Such surveillance (监测) can be applied to sample (取样) all toilet users without knowing their names. It is much cheaper than alternative sampling techniques, and flexible enough to monitor (监测) everything from drug use to diet and even mental health.
Wastewater surveillance has become an important tool in over 70 countries for monitoring and managing public health. This new approach involves analyzing wastewater samples to look for and track the presence of various viruses, bacteria and parasites. By monitoring the genetic material of these pathogens (致病菌) in wastewater, scientists and public health officials can gain valuable insights into the spread of diseases within communities. This is especially true in poor countries, where alternative means of testing are expensive.
It could also be applied to many other areas. For example, the police can adopt the tool to spot criminal behavior. Anything from consuming illegal drugs to handling bomb ingredients could potentially he detected (查明) in wastewater.
But for wastewater surveillance to fulfil its potential, today's systems must be transformed into something more stable and organized. In addition, testing bodies should be open about the extent of their capabilities, and exactly how data will be used. They should also consult with the people being monitored. It would be a shame if privacy worries caused support for it to disappear.
(1)、Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 1?A、To show some signs of physical illness. B、To introduce a method of detecting diseases. C、To explain the importance of diet to health. D、To present the value of studying bodily waste.(2)、What is an advantage of wastewater surveillance?A、It serves more purposes. B、It requires less effort to do. C、It protects residents' privacy. D、It needs little professional knowledge.(3)、What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A、The development of wastewater surveillance. B、The means of wastewater testing for poor areas. C、The application of wastewater in disease detection. D、The potential of wastewater in discovering dangerous goods.(4)、What is the author's attitude towards wastewater surveillance?A、Doubtful. B、Careful. C、Unclear. D、Unconcerned. -
5、 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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Three weeks after its first appearance, the box office of the mythological epic Creation of the Gods: Kingdom of Storms showed a rebound (反弹) trend thanks to its good reviews and word of mouth on social media. This new adaptation of a well-known story in China differs from previous ones as it focuses not on mighty Taoist gods but on Ji Fa, a nobleman's son who struggles to find out who he really is and later grows into a king.
The story was inspired by the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644) novel Investiture of the Gods, which describes the history of the Shang (1600BC—1046BC) and Zhou 1046BC—771BC) dynasties mixed with folklore, legends and mythical creatures.
In the first episode, Ji Fa faces the reality that Yin Shou, a battlefield warrior he admired, has become a greedy and cruel king after the killing of the former king and his brother. Ji Fa's search for his own path after witnessing the collapse (倒塌) of his idol and struggles during the political disorder in the late Shang have caused deep thought among many young moviegoers who are on their own crucial points in life, perhaps needing to choose a college major, a career, or in which city to settle down. . Some followed their "tiger parents", while others were more rebellious (叛逆的).
Still, their confusion of being "lost among choices" and the insecurity caused by an uncertain future have been somewhat relieved by the words of Ji Fa's father—who your father is does not matter; what matters is who you are.
Such uncertainty seems to be a shared sentiment for young people in their 20s, but focusing on what is at hand can ease that anxiety to a certain extent. One can always benefit from resolute persistence, as demonstrated by the casting, filming and long wait before the first episode could finally reach cinemas.
(1)、Why is the new adaptation different from the previous ones?A、It features Taoist gods. B、It became a hit right after it was shown. C、It is popular mostly because of social media. D、It focuses on a young man's struggle for his own identity.(2)、What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 3?A、The background in which the movie is set. B、The influence Ji Fa's growth has on young people. C、The time during which the movie was made. D、The examples parents should set to their children.(3)、What does the underlined word "sentiment" in paragraph 5 mean?A、Feeling. B、Action. C、Hobby. D、Development.(4)、What is the text?A、A news report. B、Science fiction. C、A movie review. D、A scary story. -

17、 第二节阅读下面材料,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。
Many years ago I stepped into a bookstore in Cincinnati in search of some books that I wanted. While I was there, a poor little boy, about twelve, came in to ask whether they had a world atlas(地图册) for sell.
"Yes. It costs one dollar," replied the salesman. "I have only sixty-two cents," the boy said. "Would you let me have it and wait a little while for the rest of the money?" His request being refused, the boy left. I followed him. "And what now?" I asked.
"I shall try another place, sir."
"Do you mind if I go too and see how you succeed?"
"If you like," he said in surprise.
Four times I saw the look on the boy's face turn to disappointment. But he continued. When we entered the fifth store, he told the bookseller what had happened. When asked why he wanted the atlas so much, the boy said, "My father was a sailor, but he is dead. I want to know about the places he used to go to and I'm going to be a sailor, too. "
Deeply touched, the bookseller sold the boy an atlas and presented him with a new pencil for his perseverance. I also gave him two dollars for other books he wanted. Tears in his eyes, he told us his name is William Hartley. He hoped to repay us some day.
Many years later, I left for Liverpool by water. At the end of the journey, there came a terrible storm and the ship was in trouble. A great leak was filling the ship with water. The crew was made up of strong and able men. But after fighting for one whole night with the water still flowing in, the sailors gave up desperately.
But the captain didn't give up. He ordered every man to his position and went below to look for the leak. As he passed me, I asked whether there was any hope of saving the ship. He looked at me, firmly saying, "Yes, sir. As long as one inch of this ship remains above water, there is hope. "
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Three times during that day we encountered rather dangerous situations.
Before I expressed my thanks to him, the captain said first, "Sir, didn't you recognize me?"

20、 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A. B. C. D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Yesterday, after arriving in Madrid, I knocked on a stranger's door. "I searched on the website. Will you give me1 ?" I asked. This was the reason I'd come to Spain, because I once believed I2 be a female flamenco(弗拉门]科) guitarist and I have a mission now.
Forty-five years ago, when I was two, my father also came to Madrid and knocked on strangers' doors. As a well-known classical guitarist, he admired flamenco a lot, and in Spain he learned from anyone willing to teach him. He3 performers in bars, made friends with street4 and managed to study with Paco de Lucia, the greatest flamenco guitarist of our time.
I started playing classical guitar when I was five. My father s hands5 across the strings like fireworks. I practiced while he6 and criticized. I played till I had7 pain in my fingertips. By age seven, I was called a child genius.
Then, at 11, I quit. Heartbroken, my father8 himself. Guiltily, I followed suit. Soon we spoke only when necessary. Our relationship didn't9 until, in my early 20s, I found myself pulled back to guitar.
When I was in my early 30s, he died. I couldn't bear to play his guitar. He'd spent so much time with his arms around that instrument, and it seemed a(n)10 of his own body. Holding it gave my grief an unbearable tangibility(有形性)。So for 13 years it sat mostly untouched, coming out only when my son Ellis begged to see it. He was11 his grandfather's instrument in a way that made me want to pass it down to him- both the guitar and the music. Problem was, I couldn't really play anymore.
Now, Antonia is sitting with me in her living room, teaching me12 . I have been here for only two days, and already my fingers13 . It's a sharp pain, like when a fallen-asleep limb(肢体) returns to14 . The feeling15 me. It means I'm doing something right.
