A
The world awaits. Where will you go next? The following are among the most exciting destinations to visit.
Grab your bags and go!
Puebla, Mexico
Founded in 1931, the Mexico’s fourth-largest city is a stronghold of Baroque architecture. In Puebla’s
citycenter, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there are a large number of gorgeous 17th- and 18th-century Baroque
buildings. Many are decorated with colored titles, the use of which illustrates the combination of Puebla’s local and
European colonial styles. In 2017, an earthquake shook the area, leading to restorations of facilities throughout the
city afterward. Despite that, Puebla remains rooted in tradition.
Tel, Czech Republic
第 2页/共 11页
The storybook town was probably founded in the mid-14th century. Stone walls and a system of
man-madeponds help protect Tel historic town center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The triangular market
square is bordered by a rainbow of light-colored houses, which were originally built of wood and rebuilt in stone
after a fire in the late 14th century.
Gbekli Tepe, Turkey
Estimated to date back to the 10th-9th millennia B.C.E, the monumental limestone pillars at Gbekli Tepe had
been hiding in plain sight for several thousand years. The detailed exploration of these giant stones only began in
the 1990s. What have been revealed — primarily massive stones decorated with bas-reliefs (浅浮雕) of animal —
comprise the world’s oldest known temple complex. The extraordinary discoveries made here have rewritten the
story of how the first civilizations began.
Guatemala
Archaeologists have found long-hidden ruins of an extensive pre-Columbian civilization here, confirming that
Guatemala is the place to dive into Mayan culture, then and now. Ancient roots run particularly deep in the
northernmost Peten region. In modern, multicultural Guatemala, people with Mayan origin make up about half the
population, making the country the only one in Central America with a native cultural majority.
1. Where can tourists enjoy architecture exhibiting a combination of native and foreign styles?
A. Guatemala. B. Gbekli Tepe, Turkey.
C. Puebla, Mexico. D. Tel, Czech Republic.
2. What has made Guatemala special?
A. The long-hidden ruins.
B. The deeply rooted Mayan culture.
C. The modern and multicultural society.
D. The only Central American country with Mayan population.
3. According to the text, what do the above destinations have in common?
A. They have historic sites. B. They are in Central America.
C. They were once destroyed by fire. D. They were discovered in recent decades.

A man rides at full speed on a single-wheeled bike, leaning back on a seat fixed above a recycled tyre (轮胎)
as he performs wheelie (杂技). This machine is just one of many crazy inventions from Make It Extreme, a You
Tube channel run by Michael Mavros and George Shiailis, two best friends who use old materials to create unique
and innovative mechanical projects.
第 3页/共 11页
The partners of this DIY design make the inventions to promote the joys of mechanical engineering and
inspire creativity in others.
On Make It Extreme they transform everyday objects and vehicles into extreme versions of themselves,
,
pushing creative boundaries in the process. They build and design their projects, film and edit the entire process,
then finally showcase the results.
“By passionately crafting furniture, engines, tools, toys and vehicles while using our imagination, we try to
offer innovative solutions to various mechanical challenges,” explains Mavros, “We’ve shared this passion since
our early years, and now, through our channel, we share it with millions of other people in an easily understandable
way.”
For its 100th video, Make It Extreme introduced the Monotrack bike, constructed entirely from recycled and
old materials. They utilized a 100cc two-stroke engine from an old scooter (摩托车), cutting the sidewalls of a used
car tyre and fitting it around a recycled motor. The bike reflects their commitment to sustainability and creativity,
purely for the joy and curiosity it brings.
“The idea for the Monotrack bike came from an old wartime photo where we saw a similar vehicle,” says
Mavros, “Our crea tions are often inspired by things
we’ve encountered before. For example, the Monowheel, where a person sits inside a huge wheel, was inspired by
similar vehicles from decades ago, and our tank chair stemmed from the idea of creating an accessible adventure
vehicle for people with limited mobility.”
Make It Extreme now has almost two million subscribers who are eager to tune in every month to see the
partners’ latest invention. And Mavros promises that 2024 will see them create their most daring project yet.
4. Why do Mavros and Shiailis run Make It Extreme?
A. To make profits. B. To earn popularity. C. To develop hobby. D. To awaken innovation.
5. What do we think of their inventions according to paragraph 5?
A. Practical. B. Eco-friendly. C. Costly. D. Convenient.
6. What is paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. Why the old things were used. B. Where the Monowheel was found.
C. What their inspirations originated from. D. How the Monotrack bike was invented.
7. What can we learn from Mavros and Shiailis in the text?
A. Nothing is impossible. B. One good turn deserves another.
C. A rolling stone gathers no moss. D. Constant dripping wears away the stone.

There’re plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available in local markets. But while those red juicy strawberries
look fresh, consumers have no way of knowing how long the fruit can be stored at home. The same goes for
distribution centers and supermarkets.
Now, the food technology startup OneThird, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an
infrared (红外线) scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last. The startup is
named OneThird because one-third of food is wasted due to spoilage (变质) every year.
The startup’s founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field
and decided to see if it was applicable for food. “I looked at the challenges in the food-supply chain and found out
that 40 percent of food waste is fresh produce. One of the biggest causes of waste is that nobody knows shelf life.”
founder and CEO of OneThird, Marco Snikkers said.
Quality inspections at farms and distribution centers are done manually (手动地). An inspector checks the
fruits and vegetables and makes notes about the size and quality. Then the food is sent to consumers without
considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable.
Using the infrared scanner at the distribution center means that inspectors can use the information to approve
shipments that will ensure the produce can be distributed on a timely basis. This means that a shipment of rip e
tomatoes will not be sent long distances away.
OneThird’s scanner combines the technology of optical scanners, image modeling, and Artificial Intelligence
to provide accurate shelf-life predictions.
The startup found that the technology can reduce up to 25 percent produce waste that was caused by spoilage.
“Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas
emissions and promotes global food security,” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine.
8. What problem does OneThird aim to solve?
A. The high cost of storing fresh fruits and vegetables.
B. Inefficient quality inspections at distribution centers.
C. Food waste caused by uncertainty about its shelf life.
D. Consumers’ difficulty judging the freshness of produce.
9. What inspired OneThird to come up with the idea of using infrared scanner?
A. The use of the device in another field. B. Observation of the food-supply chain.
C. Consumer demands for fresher produce. D. Experts’advice on food waste reduction.
10. What can we learn about the manual quality inspections?
第 5页/共 11页
A. They are time-consuming and costly. B. They are not performed at a regular time.
C. The inspectors tend to make wrong judgement. D. The shipping time is not taken into consideration.
11. What’s Jacob’s attitude to OneThird’s effort?
A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Tolerant. D. Dismissive.
D
In a groundbreaking effort, scientists at the University of Rochester have successfully transferred a longevity
gene from naked mole rats to mice, leading to enhanced health and a longer lifespan for the mice.
Unlike many other species, the rats do not often contract diseases, including cancer as they age. Vera
Gorbunova, the Doris Johns Cherry Professor of biology and medicine at Rochester, along with Andrei Seluanov, a
professor of biology, and their colleagues have devoted decades of research to understanding the unique
mechanisms (机制) that the naked mole rats use to protect themselves against aging and diseases. The researchers
discovered that HMW-HA is one mechanism responsible for the rats’ unusual resistance to cancer. Compared to
mice and humans, naked mole rats have about ten times more HMW-HA in their bodies. When the researchers
removed HMW-HA from the rat cells, the cells were more likely to form tumors (肿瘤).
“Our study provides a proof of principle that unique longevity mechanisms that evolved in long-lived
mammals can be exported to improve the lifespans of other mammals,” says Gorbunova. The Rochester rescarchers
report in a study published in Nature that they successfully transferred a gene responsible for making HMW-HA
from a naked mole rat to mice. This led to improved health and an approximate 4.4 percent increase in the lifespan
for the mice.
By introducing a specific gene responsible for enhanced cellular repair and protection into mice, the
researchers have opened exciting possibilities for unlocking the secrets of aging and extending human lifespan. “It
took us 10 years from the discovery of HMW-HA in the naked mole rat to showing that HMW-HA improves health
in mice,” Gorbunova says. “Our next goal is to transfer this benefit to humans.”
They believe they can make this feasible through two routes: either by slowing down the degradation of
HMW-HA or by enhancing HMW-HA synthesis. “We hope that our findings will provide the first, but not the last,
example of how longevity adaptations from a long-lived species can be adapted to benefit human longevity and
health.” Seluanov says.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The beneficial effects of HMW-HA on humans.
B. The process of transferring genes producing HMW-HA.
第 6页/共 11页
C. The comparison between mice and humans in longevity.
D. The discovery of a unique mechanism for cancer resistance.
13. What can we learn about the Rochester researchers?
A. They have uncovered the secrets of humans.
B. They managed to end the weakening of HMW-HA.
C. They are planning to export longevity genes to humans.
D. They have spent 10 years trying to discover HMW-HA.
14. What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Practicable. B. Theoretical. C. Profitable. D. Academical.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Promise Shown in Control of Human Genes
B. Scientists Successfully Transfer Longevity Gene
C. Achievement Made in Extending Human Lifespan
D. New Breakthrough Paves the Way for Curing Cancer

47. 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。
When he was around 5-6 years old, my brother Ted, who is four years younger to me, suddenly found his legs
unable to move one night. What followed was one of the hardest times of my parents'life. Months passed with them
meeting various doctors, visiting different hospitals, and knocking at the doorstep of every possible chance — all
the time with Ted in their arms, since he wasn't able to walk on his own anymore.
There were doubts of permanent paralysis（瘫痪）— the very mention of which was enough to break us down.
From finding it extremely painful to walk, to not being able to get up on his own, and to not being able to stand at
all, Ted's problem was worsening day by day. Most surprisingly, all this while, he was as strong as, perhaps, only
children can be in such difficult times.
During this period, it was not unusual for my mother to have sudden breakdowns. Once, she burst into tears
while watching Ted playing joyfully. He wiped off her tears, and said, “Don't cry, mummy. See, I can stand and
even run on my own!” Saying this, he tried to get up, stood on shaking legs for just about a few microseconds and
fell down, only to be safely caught in the arms of my mom, who hugged him dearly and cried some more.
This was the most heart-breaking thing that I had ever experienced. But it was also a powerful one for the
simple fact that it was my little brother who taught us what life was all about—HOPE.
Witnessing my brother's strong will and positive attitude inspired me as well. As a brother, I could not stand by
doing nothing at all. Hope was burning in my heart when I had the idea to train my brother to walk again. I firmly
