26、Thirty-five years ago, with just one acre of land, a couple of seeds and a bucket of hope, one Nigerian-born scientist began his mission to defeat famine (饥荒) on his continent.

News of the drought across Africa in the early 1980s troubled Nzamujo. Equipped with a microbiology PhD and his faith, he travelled back to Africa. There, he found a continent ecologically rich, diverse and capable of producing food. He believes drought wasn’t the only reason for widespread hunger, and that sustainability had been left out.

Nzamujo began designing a “zero waste” agriculture system that would not only increase food security, but also help the environment and create jobs. In 1985, he started his sustainable farm “Songhai” in the West African country of Benin.

Nzamajo lives on the farm and constantly updates his techniques. He credits his degrees in science and engineering for Songhai’s success. But he also thanks his spiritual and cultural roots, and his father — a driving force in his life who encouraged him to pursue his studies to the highest degree and to use Songhai to share his knowledge.

Songhai has several “eco-literacy” development programs. They range from 18-month training courses for farmer-enterprisers, to shorter stays to learn techniques like weeding. People come from all over the world to study Nzamujo’s methods.

After seeing success on his first zero waste farm, he expanded throughout Benin and western Africa. Today, the Songhai model is applied across the continent, including Nigena. Uganda, Sierra Leone and Liberia, Nzamujo says they've trained more than 7.000 farmer-enterprisers and more than 30, 000 people in total since it began.

Nzamujo believes zero waste agriculture is now steadily tackling the issues he set out to defeat, hunger, unemployment and environmental declines. And he wants to see it go further.

【1】Which factor related to famine was unnoticed in Nzamujo’s eyes?

A．Poor soil.

B．Water shortage.

C．Lack of resources.

D．Unsustainability.

【2】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?

A．Introduce a solution.

B．Give examples to the readers.

C．Add some background information.

D．Summarize the previous paragraphs.

【3】How does Songhai help to ease the problem of famine?

A．By offering land.

B．By trading seeds.

C．By educating farmers.

D．By selling technology.

【4】Which of the following best describes Nzamujo?

A．Critical and careful.

B．Learned and responsible.

C．Optimistic and generous.

D．Considerate and ambitious.

27、Recently, Facebook has changed its corporate name to Meta. The company said it would better include what it does, as it broadens its reach beyond social media into areas like virtual reality (VR).The CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the existing brand could not possibly represent everything that they're doing today, let alone in the future. He also showed the company's plans to build a “metaverse (元宇宙)”—an online world where people can game, work and communicate in a virtual environment.

The term "metaverse" was invented by author Neal Stephenson in Snow Crash, a science fiction published in 1992.In the work, the metaverse is a sort of 3D virtual world. It's not simply a virtual reality game but is a persistent and shared virtual world. Or rather，the metaverse is a whole universe of shared virtual space seemingly linked together—you could, essentially, teleport (瞬移) between them.

Metaverse combined at the very least five technologies they are social media, online game, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and cryptocurrency. (加密货币).Those technologies will bring users to an interactive world. AR and VR are vital for Metaverse. VR serves to present the virtual world visually and then AR will provide the audio and sensors for people to be able to interact. With Metaverse, Facebook will offer not only a texting service but also a multi-perspective virtual touch that feels like a real thing.

Facebook said that it plans to create 10,000 jobs in Europe over the next five years to work on metaverse-related fields. The company also has introduced Oculus-branded virtual-reality headsets, and it joined with Ray-Ban to develop smart sunglasses that went on sale for $299. “Over time, I hope that we are seen as a metaverse company,” Mark Zuckerberg said. “I view this work as critical to our mission because delivering a sense of presence—like you’ re right there with another person—that's the highest goal of online social experiences.” he said.

【1】Why has Facebook changed its corporate name?

A．To lead the VR market.

B．To improve public influence.

C．To cover its business range.

D．To change its corporate image.

【2】What is “Metaverse” according to the passage?

A．An advanced VR device.

B．An appealing online game.

C．An influential social media.

D．An interactive virtual world.

【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about about developing Metaverse?

A．The role VR plays.

B．The technologies involved.

C．The function AR performs.

D．The services Facebook offers.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．An Online World-Metaverse

B．A New Work Field-Metaverse

C．Facebook Marches to Metaverse

D．Facebook Focuses on Virtual Devices

28、Being taken off the endangered species list doesn't guarantee a carefree future for whales. Recent research estimates that the population of Pacific gray whales off North America's West Coast has dwindled by almost a quarter since 2016. Starting in 2019, alarming numbers of dead gray whales were spotted on beaches and floating offshore throughout their habitat, from Mexico to Alaska. The National Marine Fisheries Service defined it as an “Unusual Mortality Event”. UMEs are declared when a “significant die-off” occurs and when information is collected to clarify why it occurs.

The Arctic has historically low levels of sea ice in recent years, upending the delicate ecosystem that sustains gray whales. Like other migrators, they don't feed on their winter breeding (繁殖) grounds or along their migration, and must gain weight during the summer to sustain themselves through the rest of the year. Observers using air photography noted the whales looked skinnier and arrived in Mexico in poor condition, which suggested they were not finding enough food during the summer.

This die-off is alarmingly similar to the events of 20 years ago, when another UME resulted in a significant drop in the gray whale population. Although the cause was ultimately undetermined, it's thought that the population reached “carrying capacity”— it grew too large for the environment to support it. Although that idea has been suggested for this die-off as well, it's more likely blamed on the changing conditions of the Arctic.

Gray whales, hunted almost to extinction by the mid-20th century, were one of the first to be protected from hunting. The Eastern North Pacific population rebounded without pressure from whaling and was taken off the Endangered Species List; the Western North Pacific population is still listed as endangered. This die-off is a reminder that “delisting” doesn't indicate a population's secure future. New threats arise, climate change upends habitats, and continued monitoring is needed in case a crash comes.

【1】What does the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．Increased.

B．Bounced.

C．Multiplied.

D．Dropped.

【2】What will gray whales usually do in winter?

A．Consume few calories.

B．Travel south to breed.

C．March back to Alaska.

D．Seek food in the Arctic.

【3】What might be the main cause of the current UME?

A．Serious illnesses.

B．Sea pollution.

C．Environmental changes.

D．Limited carrying capacity.

【4】What's the author's attitude to the “delisting”?

A．Favorable.

B．Concerned.

C．Intolerant.

D．Regretful.

29、Pigeons in London have a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8. 5 million.

“The problem for air pollution is that it’s been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People don’t realize how bad it is,and how it actually affects their health. ‘‘ London’s poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing report released by the city manager last year, “If people were better informed about the pollution they’re breathing,” she says,”they could pressure the government to do something about it. ‘‘

Nearby, on a windy hill in London’s Regent’s Park, an experiment is underway that could help-the first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the director for DigitasLBi, a marketing firm, won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter. Duquesnoy, from France, chose the problem of air pollution.

“Basically, I realized how important the problem was,v he says. “But also I realized that most of the people around me didn’t know anything about it. ‘‘ Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter.

“So, “ he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones ( 无人驾驶飞机)were his first thought. But it’s illegal to fly them over London. “But pigeons can fly above London,right?” he says. “They live -actually? they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low. “

So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the city's air.

【1】What can we infer about London’s air quality from paragraph 2?

A．Londoners are very satisfied with it.

B．The government is trying to improve it.

C．The government has done a lot to improve it.

D．Londoners should pay more attention to it.

【2】Duquesnoy attended the London Design Festival to __.

A．entertain Londoners

B．solve a world problem

C．design a product for sale

D．protect animals like pigeons

【3】Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly across London?

A．Because they are too expensive

B．Because they fly too quickly.

C．Because they are forbidden.

D．Because they fly too high.

【4】Which can be the best title for the text?

A．London’s New Pollution Fighter

B．London’s Dirty Secret

C．Clean Air in London

D．Causes of Air Pollution in London

31、   In France, a bookstore chain has put a special camera in its shops. The system feeds a video stream to software which_______shoppers’ movements and facial expressions for surprise, dissatisfaction, confusion or hesitation. When a shopper walks to the end of an aisle（货架通道） only to_______with a frown to a particular bookshelf, the software messages_______, who then go to help. For the eight months leading up to this April, sales rose_______a tenth.

The bookseller wants to keep its name_______for now. Similarly，other French clients of the Paris startup behind the technology, Angus.ai, are_______it in stores which are not open to the public. They_______ airport owner Aéroports de Paris, the luxury-goods giant LVMH, and Carrefour, the supermarkets chain.

Simple video produces a lot of insights, but there are far more complicated ways of learning about shoppers’_______. Thermal-imaging (热成像的) cameras_______detect heart rates. Wirelessly collected data from smartphone accelerometers (加速度传感器) can suggest when shoppers become fascinated (movement stops) or are unhappy about________(a phone is raised to search for cheaper products online). For even more insights, shoppers are sometimes asked to put on special equipment, typically in exchange for a ________or reward of another kind.

All of this could be a(n)________, some say, for sellers to enjoy the advantage that big data has long given online sellers. A race is________to work out how best to________and use emotional data, thus improving packaging, displays, music, or the content and timing of persuading customers into buying goods.

Using technology is much less________than old-fashioned interviewing. Nielson, a consumer-research giant, charges around $10,000 to interview 25 shoppers about three products. Angus. ai’ s service costs just $66 a month per camera. Sometimes,________market surveys may ask the wrong questions. What’s more, they can give misleading________. People typically change their responses intentionally to make themselves sound sensible,________purchases are often driven by subconscious (潜意识的) emotions.

One obvious________of shopping’s emotional side is the idea of “retail therapy” — consumers driven to spend when they are feeling blue. Whichever store is the first to spot mildly________customers could make a fortune!

32、   In our societies, we used the word “success” a lot. And we think we know just what it means: money, status, fame, and power. But take a look at the _______, and things start to look, thankfully, a lot more_______, because success is, in truth, rather more neutral and _______ subjective than we tend to assume.

It just means doing anything well, expert at something, and that might include a lot of different _______: running 100 meters, for sure, selling your app for a lot of money, but also strangers, like, listening a lot very_______to a child, or being extremely_______to strangers, or filling your mind with_______ideas and associations, or knowing just when to put an arm_______someone when it’s too much for him. People who triumph here are _______big success stories.

______________, if you want to do great work, it’s going to take a lot of hard work to do it. And you’re going to have to______________out of your comfort zone and take some______________that will scare you so much. But, to some degree, what’s the______________of life if not finding yourself and trying to become the best?

As we know,______________can be successful at everything; whatever they tell us, it’s almost______________to succeed with a career and a family, or with popularity and integrity. There are always______________.Just as a business concept called opportunity cost explains, when you choose one course of action, you______________all the other opportunities you might have chosen to______________,but didn’t.

41、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Eighty-five percent of the jobs that today's students will do in 2030 don't exist yet,the Institute for the Future has predicted.That might seem like a high number to reach in only 10 years.But think about the non-mainstream careers that did not exist just a handful of years ago: social media manager,app developer and cloud computing engineer,etc.What role should colleges and universities play in preparing students for a workplace that is constantly changing? Educational institutions are trying to answer that question."We hope they will not only be prepared for whatever the job market looks like in 10,20 or 50 years but be the ones shaping it," said Jenn Stringer,professor at the University of Californian,Berkeley.Here are some of the approaches they're taking.

Some experts argue that the four-year learning model needs to be rethought in a big way. They say education can no longer be seen as something that stops when a person graduates from college.If students could take a year or two off school,get a job,and then return to school a few years later,the education system would offer true life-long learning and better adapt to changing technology.

Fewer employers are willing to train people on the job than the employers 50 years ago, largely as part of an effort to cut costs.To fill the job skills gap,some courses are offered as an add-on to a student's main degree.For example,the courses may include data analysis,web design and digital marketing.The goal is to offer students,a degree aside,some advantages when they seek jobs or promotions in the future.

Other institutions are trying to imitate the workplace within the traditional classroom. Several colleges have partnered with private companies,such as the software company Adobe, to integrate their products into the classroom.Professors at schools who partner with the company are encouraged to use the product for assignments.The idea is that students learn how to create a project that can be used in the real world and the"soft skills"such as teamwork and creativity.
