Tourists from various places have gathered to this heavenly city to enjoy its slow life tempo and beautiful natural surroundings. Here are some highlights of the city you can't miss. West LakeThe West Lake is definitely a place people can never miss when visiting Hangzhou. The lake itself covers 6 sq km, and includes some of Hangzhou's most famous scenic places.There are 10 scenes of West Lake and 10 new scenes, but it is not necessary to make a checklist and walk back and forth to look for these scenic spots. Just walk casually along the Nanshan and Beishan roads and the causeways, take a ferry on the boat to the islands on the lake, or simply sit in a lakeside teahouse and enjoy the picturesque views and the longjing (dragon well) tea.Lingyin TempleLingyin, or the Temple of the Soul's Retreat, has historically been the most renowned destination The temple has undergone several restorations, the latest of which was in the 1970s at the urging of Premier Zhou Enlai. Lingyin Temple is now considered one of the largest Buddhist complexes in the country. Leifeng PagodaOn the south of the West Lake, Leifeng Pagoda is considered the top scenic structure around West Lake due to its stunning silhouette in the glow of evening.For almost a thousand years the pagoda withstood fires and wars, but finally collapsed in 1924, due to the removal of bricks as souvenirs by locals. Rebuilt on historic ruins, the pagoda was restored in 2000 in the style of the Southern Dynasty (AD 420-589) and opened to the public in 2002. The 71.7m-tall pagoda is eight-sided with five stories.The Xixi wetland parkXixi, located less than five kilometers from West Lake in the west of Hangzhou, is China's first national wetland park. The area covers about 10 square kilometers and it has been around for more than 1,500 years, although it was only recently revived to offer residents and visitors a green respite from the concrete of the city.21. Where can you enjoy eat while admiring the picturesque scenery?A. In the Xixi wetland park. B. In Leifeng Pagoda.C. In Lingyin Temple. D. In the West Lake.22. If you have faith in Buddha, which spot is most appealing to you?A. West LakeB. Lingyin Temple C. Leifeng PagodaD. The Xixi wetland park23. In which column do you most probably read the text?A. Travel. B. Culture. C. Lifestyle.D. World.B The 2023 Tibetan New Year falls on Feb 21, almost a month after the Spring Festival. The celebration usually starts on the first day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar and ends after 15 days. Just like the Spring Festival, the Tibetan New Year marks the perfect opportunity for Tibetans to reunite with their relatives and friends.While a sweet smell coming from the pot, Tsewang, 74, stirred the soup ladle from time to time at her Singpori home. She was cooking “gutu”, a kind of soup made of flour and a traditional dish for the night of the 29th of the 12th month in the Tibetan calendar.“Gu” in Tibetan means nine, which is a lucky number. “Tu” means “pasta.” Nine different fillings like wool, charcoal and chili are placed inside the dough drops, and each of these fillings has a meaning.“It is the Tibetan New Year Eve tomorrow. The family and relatives will be gathered together and welcoming a warm new year at the new home,” Tsewang said on Sunday.For 46-year-old Li Xijun, from northwest China's Gansu Province, celebrating Tibetan New Year with his wife Drolma Tsering has become a part of his life after living in Tibet for 26 years.“We celebrate both Spring Festival and Tibetan New Year at home,” he said. Li started his commercial trade business in Tibet after retiring from the army in 1997. He met his wife in 2000, and has since settled in the border county of Yadong to take care of Drolma Tsering’s parents and younger sister.It is the third Tibetan New Year for Yuan Yubing from Shanghai. Yuan came to Tibet to learn Thangka painting in 2017 and married Losang Samkhar, her studio teacher, the following year.“I was more of a spectator when I first celebrated the festival,” Yuan said. But after years of living here, Yuan has already known all kinds of customs of the Tibetan New Year.Yuan and her mother-in-law have cleaned up the windows at home, and all the new year’s goods are ready. She has even replaced her mother-in-law to cook for the family for new year’s eve. “Coming to Tibet makes me feel that my heart has found a home,” she said. 24. The 2023 Tibetan New Year falls on ____. A. Sunday. B. Monday. C. Tuesday. D. Wednesday.25. Tibetan New Year and Spring Festival share the same features except that ____.A. it is a great opportunity for reunionB. people will enjoy traditional dishes like “gutu”C. people will gather and welcome the arrival of New YearD. people will prepare new year’s goods ahead of timeIn the last but one paragraph，by saying “I was more of a spectator”, Yuan wants to express that ____.A. she was not interested in Tibetan New Year at allB. she celebrated Spring Festival only all the timeC. she had no sense of belonging there at that timeD. she had no idea about the Tibetan New Year customs then27.

In January this year a major survey showed that 47% of under-24s were viewed as “financially uncertain”— unable or only just able to make ends meet.The survey was carried out last year before the reality of 2022’s cost of living crisis had started to unfold. We wanted to find out what young people’s money worries are and how to deal with them. A recent survey found 3 in 10 young people worry about not having enough money over a typical month. Only 51% of 16- and 17-year-olds in the UK feel confident about dealing with money.And an increasing number of young people are turning to the Internet for tips. “There was a lack of support in my community and secondary school”, says Zoya. Unluckily, Zoya isn’t alone and millions of young people are struggling to access the information they need, both within the structures of school and at home with family.Although some factors in the cost of living crisis are out of our hands, there are steps everyone can take. Here are our top tips. Set a budget（预算）. Once you have a clear idea of the money that you use, you know how much money you have left to set apart and spend in other areas of your life. Check your basket. Thinking ahead about your meals and writing down a shopping list can give you a better chance of sticking to your budget. Get a budgeting partner. Set aside 10 minutes each week to check in with a friend or a family member, track your spending and share your money saving methods. Learn good habits. Some financial respected experts can bring free courses to help people build financial security to help young people.28. What can be inferred from paragraph 1? A. All British young people can’t find well-paid job. B. British young people get stuck in economic difficulties. C. Nearly half of under-24s in the UK can’t find jobs. D. 47% of British people are able to make ends meet.29. What’s the purpose of the survey? A. To seek ways to help the young with financial problems based on their findings. B. To get more information about young people who are stuck in financial problems. C. To find out the reasons that make young people worried about their money. D. To deal with the financial problems that cause young people to get stuck.30. Where do more and more young people usually seek for help? A. From the community. B. From the school. C. From the Internet. D. From the family.31. Who probably would be the target reader? A. British young people. B. People under-24s. C. Millions of young people D. Anyone in financial difficulties.D【原创】Sending a thumbs-up (竖起拇指) can be seen as passive aggressive, according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’ meaning for the younger generation.A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best ‘never used in any situation’ as it is ‘hurtful’. “No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they're mad at me,” he added. Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.“My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don't know why but it seemed a little bit hostile to me,” one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I’ve read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray … all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.”Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood and will follow.”Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2,000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old” if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji. Which of the following point is not the Gen Z’s understanding of the emoji thumbs-up?A. Being rude. B. Being agreeable. C. Being hurtful. D. Being unfriendly.33. What does the underlined word “hostile” mean in paragraph 2?A. Unfriendly and aggressive. B. Tough and difficult.C. Unwanted and unacceptable. D. Strange and unusual.34. Why can’t older workers understand the young’s reaction to the thumbs-up emoji?A. Because of their poor communication skill.B. Because of their being old with worse memory.C. Because of their less communicating with the young.D. Because of their different understanding of the emoji.35. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. The Thumbs-up Emoji: Rejected by the younger generation.B. The Thumbs-up Emoji: Highly Welcomed by ‘Old People’.C. The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Generation Gap.D. The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Being Aggressive.第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满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。 Dreams won't cost you anything.

I was abandoned. Endless quarrels with my family had left me nowhere to go but this desolate corner of the park. As I sat on the bench, recent events began to flash through my mind. Days seemed like months to me recently. No cozy home to stay. No happy memories with family. No considerate family members to talk to. Even the book I was reading was no fun. Not content with life, I had a good reason to frown, for the world was intended to drag me down.And if that weren't enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right in front of me with his head tilted down and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower. What a pitiful sight, its petals were all worn-not enough rain, or too little light. He must have picked the flower from somewhere shady and sunless, just like where I was staying these days. I couldn't help being self-pitying. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then looked away. “Why couldn't everyone just leave me be!” I thought to myself, upset and gloomy.But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared loudly with certainty, “It sure smells pretty and it must be beautiful, too. That's why I picked it; here, it's for you. ” The weed before me was dying or dead, not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need. Again, instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it mid-air without reason or plan. Curiosity drove me to look into his eyes. Blue as the sea, there is no color or light in his beautiful eyes.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。It was then that I noticed for the very first time that the boy could not see: he was blind. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________For all of those times I myself had been blind towards the world around me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
