26、   Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route-through the boot(行李箱).

Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”

Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”

It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench(扳手)and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”

His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

【1】Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?

A.The hammer. B.The coin. C.The screw. D.The horn.

B.Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.

C.Mr. Johnson’s car accident was partly due to the slippery road.

D.Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat.

【3】The underlined sentence “Finally it gave” (Paragraph 5) means that _______.

A.Luckily the door was torn away in the end B.At last the wrench went broken

C.The lock came open after all his efforts D.The chance was lost at the last minute

B.Car Boot Can Serve As The Best Escape Route

C.Driver Escapes Through Car Boot

D.The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident

27、Imagine being given the opportunity to wake up to lions, eat your meals with monkeys, and even share your bath with bears, all from the comfort of a unique new lodging experience.

The Jamala Wildlife Lodge opened its doors in January 2015, which was set up in an effort to educate visitors about aiding the survival of many of the world’s endangered species.

“It’s great for the animals; they’re going to get more space. It’s great for the viewing public; they’re going to get more things to see. It will be great for tourism and just for the local community,” said Richard Tindale, the owner and operator.

Spreading across three locations in the National Zoo, the 18 rooms, which range from giraffe tree houses to jungle bungalows, offer a fantastic experience with wildlife.

The Giraffe Treehouse

The Giraffe Treehouse is set among the giraffe enclosures, and the Jungle Bungalows are luxurious individual houses which are next to either lion, cheetah(猎豹), brown bear, or Malaysian sun bear enclosures.

The Ushaka House

Housing up to 26 people, the Ushaka House is built around the monkey enclosure and has a built-in aquarium which offers private views of some of the zoo’s sharks.

The Burley Griffin House

Only meters from the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas have splendid views across the lake to Black Mountain.

The Shark House

The Shark House has its own little jetty(码头) and it comes out over the shark tank here and so the people who stay in the room will be able to go to their bedroom and pat the shark.

28、Pangolins (穿山甲) are strange-looking creatures, covered with hard scales (鳞). They can roll up into a ball to protect themselves from enemies and have tongues that are longer than their bodies.

Pangolins have recently become the focus of Chinese people. A screenshot (截屏) of a micro blog post showed some people eating pangolins at a feast spread. A few days later, people were angered again by pictures showing people eating protected animals, including pangolins.

Yet this is only the tip of the iceberg. Many more pangolins have been hunted or killed. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), more than 1 million of them have been killed or sold in the last 10 years. It also said that they are the most illegally traded mammals in the world. In September 2016, the IUCN added the pangolin to the world’s “endangered animals list”. They are now more endangered than pandas．

A growing trade of their scales and meat is the main reason for their decline in numbers. Many people in Asia and Africa consider pangolin meat is delicious. Some people even think pangolin scales have medicinal qualities. However, their scales are made of keratin (角蛋白), the same material human fingernails are made of.

Luckily, the situation is getting better. World Pangolin Day is on the third Saturday of February each year. It's a day to help people know more about pangolins. The government now stops anyone from buying and eating pangolins in China. Breaking this law is regarded as a crime. The trade of pangolins across the world is also not allowed, according to the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

C．Pangolins were named the most endangered animal in 2016.

D．The pangolin is a kind of mammal traded illegally worldwide.

【3】The real aim of World Pangolin Day may be to ________.

A．attract people to the zoo to watch pangolins

B．raise people's awareness of protecting pangolins

C．remind people of pangolins' medical value

29、Many say artificial intelligence is the biggest invention since the Internet. The sudden rise of large language models like ChatGPT has fueled the publication to a higher level—AI will be the common language the world speaks and humans can build the Tower of Babel again. With the technology in hand, it seems spending thousands of hours to master a different tongue is simply a waste of time.

Duolingo’s co-founder and CEO Luis von Ahn has a different opinion. He said it’s still worthwhile for people to learn a new language despite the rapid advancement of AI powered translation technology in the past decade. “Computers are better than humans playing chess. And there are more people playing chess now than there’s ever been,” said von Ahn. “People just want to do certain things even if computers are good at it.

According to Duolingo’s research, the majority of new language learners agreed learning a new language could make travelling a better experience and more fun; and 80 percent think learning new languages will inspire them to be travelers with an adventurous spirit.

Luis von Ahn co-founded Duolingo in 2011, which offers customized learning exercises, immediate feedback and gamification(游戏化). The platform provides equal access with over 40 languages to everyone who wants to learn. Last year, the company even rolled out sessions for its first dialect language——Cantonese. The app attracted many Mandarin learners as well. Their primary motivation to try the language was for “intellectual development,” according to the company.

Duolingo has applied AI technology to the language learning platform since day one. With a powerful AI tool, it can provide conversations based on previous exchanges with the user to make language learning more natural. The AI can understand the sentences and react to the input from learners to keep the conversation going.

The goal for the language learning app for von Ahn himself, is to operate on par with a human tutor. He said Duolingo is already as effective as study in a classroom. “I think with AI, we’re getting closer and closer to being as good as a one-to-one human tutor,” he said.

A．learning a second language is significant to humans

B．AI should not be used as a common language for humans

C．it is unnecessary for humans to learn different languages

D．humans are powerful enough to master different languages

【2】Why do people want to learn a new language according to Duolingo’s CEO and research?

A．Out of human nature.

B．Thanks to the advancement of AI technology.

C．Out of pressure of travelling.

D．Thanks to human’s increasing intelligence.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “on par with” in paragraph 6 mean?

A．in aid of

B．instead of

C．specially for

D．as well as

【4】What is the best title of this text?

A．People learn languages to enrich their life, not ruin it.

B．Duolingo uses AI to help language learning, not kill it.

C．With Duolingo, learning a second language is time-consuming.

D．Helped by Duolingo, more people are learning a new language.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box… Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need.

You are my Solskjaer,

My Ole Solskjaer

You make me happy when skies are grey.

You’ll never know dear.

How much I love you.

Please don’t take my Solskjaer away.

You are my Solskjaer

My only Solskjaer

You make my happy when skies are grey

Coz when it’s pouring you just keep scoring

Please don’t take our Solskjaer away

The above song is 【1】 from Jimmie Davis’ You Are My Sunshine by Manchester United (曼联) fans to express their overwhelming love towards Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (索尔斯克亚), their favourite striker—Babyface Killer. Although the fans never want to bid 【2】 to their beloved Ole, every journey always has an end, no matter how wonderful it is.

Finally, the story of Ole as a United player ended. On 28 August 2007 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 【3】 called time on his united playing career-eleven years and three days after it began with a goalscoring debut.

On the field, the Norwegian became a perfect 【4】 of United’s never-say-die spirit in their most successful decade, often scoring late goals when points or trophies looked to have been lost. But off the field, he finally had to admit one defeat—in his battle with his 【5】 knee injury.

On retiring, ole said, “I would like to thank the manager, the coaching and medical staff and most of all the supporters. The supporters have been fantastic and were a real 【6】 to me when I was out injured. And their tremendous support will always be in my heart. I feel proud to have 【7】 United for 11 years and have some very special memories.”

Ole’s many career 【8】 include his four goals in 12 minutes as a substitute at Nottingham forest in United’s recrod away win (8-1). But surely the most special memory of all would be the Champions League final in 1999 when he best 【9】 his ability to seize the whisker of a chance. His injury-time-toe-poke past Bayern Munich keeper Oliver Kahn (卡恩) completed United’s Treble (三冠王) and 【10】 himself an irreplaceable place in Reds history.
