Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is one of the leading film festivals in the world,
ranking closely with Cannes and Sundance. Films such as Hotel Rwanda, American Beauty, and
The Big Chill made their premieres (首映) at this famous star-filled event held each September.
The 11-day-long festival is also known as the kick-off of awards season, with many films that
make their first public performance at TIFF going on to get nominated for Oscars and Golden
Globe awards.

Chinese traditional painting and dance are two vital parts of the art world. But what about
when they meet each other?
This year, a dance drama titled Poetic Dance: The Journey of a Legendary Landscape
Painting (《只此青绿》) was staged on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala and became a hit.
According to CCTV, this poetic dance program was inspired by the 900-year-old Chinese
painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》). Created by Song Dynasty
painter Wang Ximeng at about 18, the painting is amazing in its huge size, rich coloration and the
expressive details, reported CCTV. It shows a Chinese blue-green landscape: “mountains and
groupings of infinite rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling water”.
When the dancers moved elegantly, audiences seemed to be looking at the moving mountains
and rivers. “It brings me a pure experience of beauty. It is not only a drama but also an
‘exhibition’. Vast mountains and rivers are coming to life!” Internet user Mo Weisha wrote in a
review. “More than a thousand years later, green mountains and rivers still wow people as they did
long ago.”
Some people even decided to watch the dance again when it was staged in the theaters later.
In fact, in recent years, more and more modern shows pay attention to Chinese traditional culture
and have received warm welcome. As for why, it is due to people's great love for traditional
culture.
“The younger generations have grown up with a more open mindset. They hug Chinese
culture and are proud of it.” Yao Wei, director of Henan TV Station’s Innovation Center, told
China Daily.
24．What is the function of paragraph I in the passage?
A．To present a common phenomenon.
B．To ask readers’ a question.
C．To describe the art world.
D．To introduce the topic.
25．What can we learn about the painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains from the text?
A．It was painted in several bright colors.
B．It shows natural beauty vividly.
C．It was created over a thousand years ago.
D．It is of small size but includes great details.
26．Why are shows about Chinese traditional culture becoming popular according to Yao Wei?
A．People are more open to traditional culture.
B．People are happy to see new forms of art.
C．Chinese culture has been spreading around the world.
D．People have gained more access to traditional culture.
27．What could be the best title for the passage?
A．Passion for Chinese Traditional Arts.
B．Art Coming Alive Through Dance.
C．Beauty Presented in Poetic Dance.
D．Highlights in Traditional Chinese Culture.
C
If you have a car, you most likely have been feeling pain at the pump. At the time of writing,
a gallon of gas in Lafayette County costs $3.94, with the national average even higher at $4.24.
These are the most expensive gas prices in history. The White House has regarded this rise in
prices as “Putin’s Price Hike”, but how much is the conflict between Russia and Ukraine really to
blame?
The White House’s claim could be believable if gas prices had not already been way above
normal before Russian soldiers ever set foot in Ukraine. In fact, Biden told the Federal Trade
Commission to investigate high gas prices back in November 2021, long before the
Russia-Ukraine conflict.
For many Americans, gas prices are the limiting factor in how much food is on the dinner
table, because nearly all goods need gas to be transported. Egg prices are up 13.1%, pork has risen
14.1% and chicken rose 10.3% over the past year. In February, as a result of the climbing gas
prices and other factors, such as the supply chain crisis, the Consumer Price Index, which tracks
average inflation ( 通 胀 ), rose another 0.8%, which can have terrible impacts for low-income
families. This was a trend before the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and blaming it on Putin is shying
away from the real problem of 40-year high inflation.
While Americans are struggling to pay for things that just a few years ago would be
affordable, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg had a tone-deaf solution. If you cannot
afford gas, just get an electric vehicle. Easy, right? An electric car costs tens of thousands of
dollars, and when people cannot even afford a tank of gas, they will surely not be able to afford a
brand new car.
President Biden has said he “can’t do much” about high gas prices and inflation, but that is
not true. We do not need to rely on Russian oil to keep prices low. The answer is for President
Biden to increase United States oil production to offset any lost oil imports from Russia.
28．What can we learn about the gas prices?
A．They remained normal before the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
B．They rose mainly because Russia decided to export less oil.
C．They climbed to the highest in history for uncertain reasons.
D．They went up suddenly because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
29．What does the author think of Pete Buttigieg’s suggestion?
A．Reasonable. B．Senseless. C．Practical. D．Funny.
30．Which can replace the underlined word “offset” in the last paragraph?
A．Give rise to. B．Launch an attack on.
C．Get rid of. D．Make up for.
31．Which serves as the best title for the passage?
A．Gas prices are Biden’s fault, not Putin’s
B．High gas prices hit Americans really hard
C．The truth behind an abnormal phenomenon
D．Time to take measures to keep gas prices down
D
A new kind of solar panel, developed at the University of Michigan, has achieved high
efficiency in transforming water into hydrogen and oxygen — imitating a crucial step in natural
photosynthesis(光合作用). The outdoor version of the experiment, with less reliable sunlight and
temperature, achieved 6.1% efficiency at turning the energy from the sun into hydrogen fuel.
However, indoors, the system achieved 9% efficiency.
But the biggest benefit is driving down the cost of sustainable hydrogen. This is enabled by
reducing the size of the semiconductor(半导体), typically the most expensive part of the device.
The team’s self-healing semiconductor withstands concentrated light equivalent to 160 suns.
“We believe that artificial photosynthesis devices will be much more efficient than natural
photosynthesis, which will provide a path toward carbon neutrality,” said Zetian Mi, U-M professor
of electrical and computer engineering who led the study reported in Nature.
One major advance of the new technology is the ability to concentrate the sunlight without
destroying the semiconductor that traps the light. “We reduced the size of the semiconductor by
more than 100 times compared to some semiconductors only working at low light intensity,” said
Peng Zhou, U-M research fellow in electrical and computer engineering and first author of the
study. “Hydrogen produced by our technology could be very cheap.”
The next challenges the team intends to tackle are to further improve the efficiency and to
achieve superhigh purity hydrogen that can be directly fed into fuel cells.
32. What leads to the lower cost of sustainable hydrogen?
A. Solar energy. B. Smaller semiconductors.
C. Natural photosynthesis. D. More concentrated light.
33. Why is the advance of the new solar panel mentioned?
A. To introduce a greener lifestyle. B. To promote its commercial value.
C. To state its technical breakthrough. D. To advertise the potential application.
34. What may be the author’s attitude towards the new technology?
A. Indifferent. B. Negative C. Objective D. Suspicious
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A New Trend in Water Usage B. The Future of Sustainable Hydrogen
C. Solar Energy: More Efficient, Greener D. A New Device for Cheaper Hydrogen

Time is one of the most valuable commodities we have. It is a non-renewable resource that,
once lost, cannot be regained. 36 But how we choose to spend it can make or break our
lives.
We frequently run out of time in today’s fast-paced world. We have deadlines, appointments
and responsibilities to meet within a certain time. 37 We may believe that we have all the
time in the world, but before we know it, the day is over, the week is over and another year has
passed.
The proverb “time and tide wait for none” reminds us that time is a limited resource that we
must make the most of. 38 We should prioritize our tasks, set goals and work towards
achieving them. We should avoid procrastination (拖延) and make every moment count.
39 We live in a world where social media, emails and notifications take most of our
attention. It is so easy to get sucked into endlessly watching videos or looking at posts. However,
if we allow these distractions to take over, we risk wasting valuable time that could be spent on
more productive activities.
“Time and tide wait for none” also reminds us that time is valuable and should not be
squandered (挥霍). We should treasure every moment and make the most of it. We should spend
time with our loved ones, pursue our passions and do things that make us happy. 40
The proverb serves as a powerful reminder of the value of time management. Time is a finite
resource that must be used wisely. So, let us all strive to maximize our time and live our lives to
the fullest.
A．We all have the same amount of time in a day.
B．Life is too short to waste time on things that don’t matter.
C．Distractions are one of the most difficult challenges we face.
D．It encourages us to be mindful of our time and to use it wisely.
E．It’s all too easy to let time slip away while browsing our news feeds.
F．It illustrates the idea that time is fleeting and it doesn’t wait for anyone.
G．With so much to do, it’s easy to lose track of time and allow it to pass by you.
