阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
If you’re feeling in the mood for grilled food but don’t have a barbecue, then deciding what product to purchase can be a bit difficult. So to help you get a better understanding of just some of the choices available, here’s our guide to buying a new BBQ.
Charcoal vs Gas
The first decision is how your BBQ is going to be powered. There are essentially two main choices: the traditional way with charcoal, or the quick and convenient way with gas. For those who get frustrated with the process of lighting coals and waiting for them to reach the desired temperature, then gas is the easy option. It’s clean and gets up to temperature in an instant. But for many, the main fun of a barbecue lies in the back-to-basics cooking that hot coal brings natural barbecue fire. You’ll also find a far greater range of charcoal barbecues.
Size
For anyone who likes to throw a garden party with a busy barbecue at the centre of the action, there are some vast grills (烤架) available. But unless you’re regularly feeding the masses, then these BBQ beasts can be impractical. Smaller meals are better suited to smaller equipment, so be realistic about the size that best suits you.
Open grill or lid
While facing the barbecue selection of your nearest retailer, you’ll notice that some of them have lids. These will usually be round and will make you pay more than the lidless options. But if you want the benefit of being able to cook larger items over a longer period of time, such as a whole chicken, then a lid will be essential.
1. Which BBQ is suitable for Jack, who likes back-to-basics cooking and often invites friends to the garden party
A. Gas barbecue in small size. B. Gas barbecue in big size.
C. Charcoal barbecue with big grills. D. Charcoal barbecue with small grills.
2. What is the difference between the open grill and the one with a lid
A. The open grill costs more. B. The open grill looks superior.
C. The open grill is more reliable. D. The open grill is less suitable for larger items.
3. Which column of the magazine is the passage most likely selected from
A. Lifestyle. B. Business. C. Culture. D. Sports.
B
In recent years, wooden buildings have reached new heights, with soaring(高耸的)wooden skyscrapers completed or underway in countries like Norway, Switzerland and AustraliA. Sweden, likewise, has come up with a plan—building the world’s biggest wooden city. As the world’s largest urban construction project in wood, Stockholm Wood City will be built in Sweden’s capital, Stockholm in 2025.
“By using wood, the project is expected to reduce carbon footprint by up to 40%,compared with building in concrete and steel,” says Annica An s, CEO of Atrium Ljungberg, a Swedish urban development company. Some people may have concerns over fire risks posed by wooden buildings, but experts say engineered timber(木材)can resist fire as well. As with other modern construction projects using wood, Wood City will still use some concrete and steel in places like the foundations, but the overall amounts will be greatly reduced.
“The construction will not be as noisy as it is built from concrete and bricks,” adds Ms An s. This makes wooden buildings particularly suitable for urban redevelopment in general, since putting them up is less likely to annoy the neighbours. It should also be profitable. Ms An s is looking for a return on investment of 20% or better.
The world’s largest wooden city is supposed to make commute (通勤) easier and shorter, decreasing emissions from transportation. The website for the project describes Stockholm Wood City as a “five minute city”. As An s concluded, “We want to create an environment where our customers, who will live and work here, can participate in the development and design of the city district of the future. ”
4. The project mentioned in the passage is about__________.
A. making a modern city B. creating wooden skyscrapers
C. building the highest wooden building D. constructing the largest wooden city
5. What advantage do wooden buildings have over concrete and steel buildings
A. Resisting fires. B. Lasting long.
C. Being environmentally friendly. D. Being comfortable.
6. Wooden buildings are suitable for urban redevelopment mainly because__________.
A. they are profitable for investors B. they cause less noise when built
C. they have a short construction period D. they are less costly to maintain and repair
7. What is An s’ attitude to the future of wood construction
A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Concerned. D. doubtful.
C
Since 2001, robotic tools have caused great changes in the practice of surgery. They have greatly reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible.
One example is “keyhole surgery”, or minimally invasive (微创) surgery, which normally requires surgeons to stand at awkward angles and make difficult movements with their hands to make a cut inside the patient. But in June 2022, surgeon James Ansell used 3D glasses and two joysticks(操纵杆) to control four robotic arms to perform a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor (肿瘤). “My colleague said… that this feels like cheating,” Ansell said to The Guardian.
Another area of surgery that has had major technological breakthroughs in recent years is telesurgery. Telesurgery, or remote surgery, is the use of technology that allows a surgeon to perform a procedure on a patient not in the same physical location.
Normally, telesurgery relies on a wired connection due to concerns of harming the patient if a wireless connection should drop during surgery, but China made several advancements in wireless telesurgery based on 5G technology.
China achieved the first 5G-based remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers, reported CGTN. More recently, a team of surgeons at the Hainan Eye Hospital successfully completed remote micron–level eye surgery via a 5G robot on rabbits located at the Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, reported China Daily.
Some people even believe that robotic systems, combined with AI, could one day surpass(超过)human surgeons. But given current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still be a while off.
8. The underlined part in paragraph 2 indicates the procedure may___________.
A. be illegal B. be difficult to control
C. cheat the patient D. be conducted unknowingly
9. What significant achievement did China make in the field of telesurgery
A. Removing a cancerous tumor using 3D glasses.
B. Achieving remote surgery using a wired connection.
C. Doing the first 5G-based eye remote operation on humans.
D. Performing the first wireless brain surgery with 5G technology.
10. What can we infer about robots in the medical field according to the passage
A. They still need further development. B. They have been widely adopted.
C. They are currently in high demand. D. They have surpassed human surgeons.
11. What is the article mainly about
A. The benefits of robotic surgery. B. The future of robotic surgery.
C. The advancements in medical robotics. D. The achievements of China’s medicine.
D
I’m a recovering addict. I was addicted to YouTube.
My addiction started several years ago. My first experience was on the recommendation of a friend to check out Susan Boyle’s amazing singing on Britain’s Got Talent. I didn’t think much about it and got on with my life.
But soon I found myself spending a lot of time staring at the screen and discovered onscreen offerings were truly endless. From one YouTuber I learned how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else gave wise sayings from philosophers. Down the rabbit hole I went, for hours and hours, watching other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.
As the months rolled by, checking in every day with people who were talking to me personally (or so it seemed) became an addiction. I subscribed to (订阅) many channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I found all this calming and therapeutic.
At some point, though, I got annoyed by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who are filming them Do they happen to live in a meadow (草地) The questions started to disturb me while forcing comparisons with my own somewhat more ordinary existence.
Regardless of my growing anxiety, I continued to click on the YouTube icon on my phone whenever I had a spare five minutes. I compared my life constantly with the images onscreen. I started to hate the endless rules presented for good health, financial stability and mental contentment. In a moment of clarity (清晰), I realized that I had a full and happy life myself, which suited me perfectly although it wouldn’t win awards for perfection onscreen. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life, instead of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking in once in a while for some entertainment and inspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure. I am content in the knowledge that my addiction to life onscreen has been replaced by life itself.
12. What led the author to use YouTube for the first time
A. Her search for gardening tips. B. Her friend’s recommendation.
C. Her curiosity about the platform. D. Her admiration for a famous singer.
13. What did the author think of YouTube videos at first
A. Informative and relaxing. B. Dull and discouraging.
C. Creative and puzzling. D. Addictive and useless.
14. What happened after the author became addicted to YouTube
A. She gradually lost purpose in life. B. She tried to copy others’ lifestyle.
C. She sought for the peace of country life. D. She kept making comparisons with others.
15. What kind of life does the author live now
A. Stop surfing online. B. Upload videos about her life.
C. Appreciate real-life experiences more. D. Spend more time on her social life.

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。
Rule one and the only rule: If the football goes into Mr. Radtke’s yard, leave the ball, run home and the kid responsible for sending the ball into the forbidden zone should tolerate the lifelong scorn (蔑视) of all the players,” said Ben gravely.
The rule that his best friend, Ben, told him again and again puzzled Joey a lot. He looked at the yard in front of him, nothing special—a lonely house with a high fence all around and a tree even taller than the fence by the close front gate.
“But Ben, we wouldn’t be harming anything. If our ball should go over his fence, I’m getting it. ”
“Good luck with that. Old man Radtke is the ugliest guy in this neighbourhood. No one dares to go into his yard. ”
“What’s so scary about him ” Joey asked, still confused.
“Big scars on his face, only one eye, and half of his teeth are missing. An ugly guy like that is definitely a bad guy.”
“But my father told me, never judge a book by its cover.”
“Whatever. Let’s play football.” Ben said, seemingly impatient.
Hearing this, Joey temporarily took the doubt off his mind and joined the boys. They passed the ball to each other and most of the time ran after the ball in the field like the wind. But suddenly, Joey kicked the ball too hard, and it soared over the fence and landed in Radtke’s yard. Seeing this, all the others ran home desperately, leaving only Joey and Ben glued to the spot.
“Get out of here, right now,” Ben urged. “Perhaps, I—I—I can get it back, without dis—disturbing Mr. Radtke,” Joey hesitated in a low voice. “But how ” returned Ben.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右;
2. 续写部分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
When Joey’s eye fell on the tree by the gate, an idea flashed into his mind.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing Joey’s scream of pain, Radtke rushed out.

【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了选购烧烤架的具体方法。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Charcoal vs Gas部分的“But for many, the main fun of a barbecue lies in the back-to-basics cooking that hot coal brings natural barbecue fire. (但对许多人来说,烧烤的主要乐趣在于回归基本的烹饪,热炭带来自然的烧烤火。)”和Size部分的“For anyone who likes to throw a garden party with a busy barbecue at the centre of the action, there are some vast grills (烤架) available. (对于那些喜欢举办花园派对,并在活动中心进行烧烤的人来说,这里有一些大型烧烤架可供选择。)”可知,炭火烧烤适合喜欢回归基本的烹饪的人,大型烧烤架适合喜欢举办花园派对的人,因此Jack应该选择带大型烧烤架的炭火烧烤。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Open grill or lid部分的“But if you want the benefit of being able to cook larger items over a longer period of time, such as a whole chicken, then a lid will be essential. (但如果你想在更长的时间内烹饪体积更大的食物,比如整只鸡,那么盖子将是必不可少的。)”可知,开放式的和带盖式的烤架的区别在于前者不太适合体积较大的食物。故选D项。
【3题详解】

In recent years, wooden buildings have reached new heights, with soaring(高耸的)wooden skyscrapers completed or underway in countries like Norway, Switzerland and AustraliA. Sweden, likewise, has come up with a plan—building the world’s biggest wooden city. As the world’s largest urban construction project in wood, Stockholm Wood City will be built in Sweden’s capital, Stockholm in 2025.
“By using wood, the project is expected to reduce carbon footprint by up to 40%,compared with building in concrete and steel,” says Annica An s, CEO of Atrium Ljungberg, a Swedish urban development company. Some people may have concerns over fire risks posed by wooden buildings, but experts say engineered timber(木材)can resist fire as well. As with other modern construction projects using wood, Wood City will still use some concrete and steel in places like the foundations, but the overall amounts will be greatly reduced.
“The construction will not be as noisy as it is built from concrete and bricks,” adds Ms An s. This makes wooden buildings particularly suitable for urban redevelopment in general, since putting them up is less likely to annoy the neighbours. It should also be profitable. Ms An s is looking for a return on investment of 20% or better.
The world’s largest wooden city is supposed to make commute (通勤) easier and shorter, decreasing emissions from transportation. The website for the project describes Stockholm Wood City as a “five minute city”. As An s concluded, “We want to create an environment where our customers, who will live and work here, can participate in the development and design of the city district of the future. ”
4. The project mentioned in the passage is about__________.
A. making a modern city B. creating wooden skyscrapers
C. building the highest wooden building D. constructing the largest wooden city
5. What advantage do wooden buildings have over concrete and steel buildings
A. Resisting fires. B. Lasting long.
C. Being environmentally friendly. D. Being comfortable.
6. Wooden buildings are suitable for urban redevelopment mainly because__________.
A. they are profitable for investors B. they cause less noise when built
C. they have a short construction period D. they are less costly to maintain and repair
7. What is An s’ attitude to the future of wood construction
A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Concerned. D. doubtful.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A

Since 2001, robotic tools have caused great changes in the practice of surgery. They have greatly reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible.
One example is “keyhole surgery”, or minimally invasive (微创) surgery, which normally requires surgeons to stand at awkward angles and make difficult movements with their hands to make a cut inside the patient. But in June 2022, surgeon James Ansell used 3D glasses and two joysticks(操纵杆) to control four robotic arms to perform a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor (肿瘤). “My colleague said… that this feels like cheating,” Ansell said to The Guardian.
Another area of surgery that has had major technological breakthroughs in recent years is telesurgery. Telesurgery, or remote surgery, is the use of technology that allows a surgeon to perform a procedure on a patient not in the same physical location.
Normally, telesurgery relies on a wired connection due to concerns of harming the patient if a wireless connection should drop during surgery, but China made several advancements in wireless telesurgery based on 5G technology.
China achieved the first 5G-based remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers, reported CGTN. More recently, a team of surgeons at the Hainan Eye Hospital successfully completed remote micron–level eye surgery via a 5G robot on rabbits located at the Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, reported China Daily.
Some people even believe that robotic systems, combined with AI, could one day surpass(超过)human surgeons. But given current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still be a while off.
8. The underlined part in paragraph 2 indicates the procedure may___________.
A. be illegal B. be difficult to control
C. cheat the patient D. be conducted unknowingly
9. What significant achievement did China make in the field of telesurgery
A. Removing a cancerous tumor using 3D glasses.
B. Achieving remote surgery using a wired connection.
C. Doing the first 5G-based eye remote operation on humans.
D. Performing the first wireless brain surgery with 5G technology.
10. What can we infer about robots in the medical field according to the passage
A. They still need further development. B. They have been widely adopted.
C. They are currently in high demand. D. They have surpassed human surgeons.
11. What is the article mainly about
A. The benefits of robotic surgery. B. The future of robotic surgery.
C. The advancements in medical robotics. D. The achievements of China’s medicine.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】

【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“One example is “keyhole surgery”, or minimally invasive (微创) surgery, which normally requires surgeons to stand at awkward angles and make difficult movements with their hands to make a cut inside the patient. (其中一个例子是“锁眼手术”,即微创手术,通常需要外科医生以尴尬的角度站立,用手做出困难的动作,才能在病人体内切开)”以及“But in June 2022, surgeon James Ansell used 3D glasses and two joysticks(操纵杆) to control four robotic arms to perform a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor (肿瘤). (但在2022年6月,外科医生詹姆斯·安塞尔(James Ansell)使用3D眼镜和两个操纵杆控制四个机械臂,进行了切除癌症肿瘤的手术)”可知,使用3D眼镜和两个操纵杆控制四个机械臂来进行切除癌症肿瘤的手术,大大减轻了外科医生通常承受的压力和体力要求,使手术在不知不觉中进行。所以“this feels like cheating”表示手术在不知不觉中进行。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“China achieved the first 5G-based remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers, reported CGTN. (据中国国际电视台报道,2019年3月,中国实现了第一次基于5G的远程手术,在三亚的一名外科医生和北京的一名患者之间进行了脑部手术,距离总计近3000公里)”可知,在远程外科领域,中国取得了首次使用5G技术进行无线脑部手术的成就。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But given current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still be a while off. (但考虑到目前的技术限制和这些机器人的高成本,机器人完全接管手术可能还需要一段时间)”可知,使用机器人完全接管手术还需要进一步发展。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Since 2001, robotic tools have caused great changes in the practice of surgery. They have greatly reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible.(自2001年以来,机器人工具在手术实践中引起了巨大的变化。它们大大减轻了外科医生通常承受的压力和体力要求,并使某些手术成为可能)”以及通读全文可知,文章主要讲述的是医疗机器人技术的进步。故选C。

I’m a recovering addict. I was addicted to YouTube.
My addiction started several years ago. My first experience was on the recommendation of a friend to check out Susan Boyle’s amazing singing on Britain’s Got Talent. I didn’t think much about it and got on with my life.
But soon I found myself spending a lot of time staring at the screen and discovered onscreen offerings were truly endless. From one YouTuber I learned how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else gave wise sayings from philosophers. Down the rabbit hole I went, for hours and hours, watching other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.
As the months rolled by, checking in every day with people who were talking to me personally (or so it seemed) became an addiction. I subscribed to (订阅) many channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I found all this calming and therapeutic.
At some point, though, I got annoyed by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who are filming them Do they happen to live in a meadow (草地) The questions started to disturb me while forcing comparisons with my own somewhat more ordinary existence.
Regardless of my growing anxiety, I continued to click on the YouTube icon on my phone whenever I had a spare five minutes. I compared my life constantly with the images onscreen. I started to hate the endless rules presented for good health, financial stability and mental contentment. In a moment of clarity (清晰), I realized that I had a full and happy life myself, which suited me perfectly although it wouldn’t win awards for perfection onscreen. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life, instead of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking in once in a while for some entertainment and inspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure. I am content in the knowledge that my addiction to life onscreen has been replaced by life itself.

For all of human history, eating meat has meant killing animals. ___16___ They produce meat by growing cells obtained from an animal’s body.
Lab-grown meat, also called “cell–cultivated” or “cultured” meat, is made by feeding a mix of nutrients to animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is to create an alternative to agriculturally raised meat. And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, lab-grown meat is real meat. ___17___
Recently, the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has given two companies approval to sell lab–grown chicken. ___18___ It’s aimed at eliminating (消除) harm to animals, and reducing the environmental impacts of grazing(放牧) and growing feed for animals.
“Everything we know about how meat can be made is going to change. But don’t expect to see cultivated meat in grocery stores just yet,” said Uma Vaieti, CEO of UPSIDE Foods. ___19___ That’s because it cannot yet be produced on the scale of traditional meat.
“To make cultivated meat, we need much more energy,” said Bruce Friedrich, president and founder of the Good Food Institute. However, those high energy needs will be offset(补偿)by the reduction in land and water use and other benefits. It’s thought that cultured meat will be probably produced on a large scale. ___20___
A. Lab-grown meat is much more expensive now.
B. When ready, lab-grown meat is formed into shapes.
C. The approval launches a new era of meat production.
D. It looks, smells and tastes like any other grocery store version.
E. But scientists behind lab-grown meat say that’s no longer necessary.
F. That could also offer a solution to feeding the world’s growing population.

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。
Rule one and the only rule: If the football goes into Mr. Radtke’s yard, leave the ball, run home and the kid responsible for sending the ball into the forbidden zone should tolerate the lifelong scorn (蔑视) of all the players,” said Ben gravely.
The rule that his best friend, Ben, told him again and again puzzled Joey a lot. He looked at the yard in front of him, nothing special—a lonely house with a high fence all around and a tree even taller than the fence by the close front gate.
“But Ben, we wouldn’t be harming anything. If our ball should go over his fence, I’m getting it. ”
“Good luck with that. Old man Radtke is the ugliest guy in this neighbourhood. No one dares to go into his yard. ”
“What’s so scary about him ” Joey asked, still confused.
“Big scars on his face, only one eye, and half of his teeth are missing. An ugly guy like that is definitely a bad guy.”
“But my father told me, never judge a book by its cover.”
“Whatever. Let’s play football.” Ben said, seemingly impatient.
Hearing this, Joey temporarily took the doubt off his mind and joined the boys. They passed the ball to each other and most of the time ran after the ball in the field like the wind. But suddenly, Joey kicked the ball too hard, and it soared over the fence and landed in Radtke’s yard. Seeing this, all the others ran home desperately, leaving only Joey and Ben glued to the spot.
“Get out of here, right now,” Ben urged. “Perhaps, I—I—I can get it back, without dis—disturbing Mr. Radtke,” Joey hesitated in a low voice. “But how ” returned Ben.

When Joey’s eye fell on the tree by the gate, an idea flashed into his mind.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version :
When Joey’s eye fell on the tree by the gate, an idea flashed into his mind. He told Ben that he was determined to climb onto the tree and then over the fence to get the ball back instead of knocking at the door. With a newfound determination, Joey walked towards the tall tree, and noticed that one of the branches extended just enough to reach the other side of the fence where the ball had landed. Joey’s heart raced with excitement as he climbed the tree, inching closer to the forbidden zone. Just as he reached for the ball, the branch broke suddenly. Joey fell to the ground heavily, letting out a cry of pain.
Hearing Joey’s scream of pain, Radtke rushed out. Startled by the unexpected sight of a young boy in his yard, he quickly realized what had happened. Without a word, he gently lifted Joey from the ground and examined his injured leg. As Radtke saw the fear and pain in Joey’s eyes, his unfriendly look softened. He carried Joey to his porch and fetched a first aid kit, carefully tending to the wound. At the same time, he asked Ben to fetch Joey’s parents. With the pain lessening, Joey gradually recovered from the initial shock. And again he recalled how his father had always emphasized the importance of kindness and not judging others based on their appearance.
