mother,Dierdre Wolownick,just became theoldest woman to conquer the famous peak:She reached the top on September 23-the morning of her 70thbirthday.Dierdre,the writer and language teacher,decided to take up climbing as a means of connecting more withher son.In 2008,accompanied by her son Alex,she visited a climbing gym and completed 12 routes that firstday with his help,but it was months before she worked up the courage to return and practice on her own.Dierdre became committed to the sport,and began to meet friends and sharpen her skills.She scaled partsof Half Dome Trail and Cathedral Peak at a time when many people at her age are thinking about retirementand slowing down.The writer would go on to publish a book about her climbing experiences with Alex calledThe Sharp End of Life:A Mothers Story.“As a mother,I am impressed by this role exchange process.Parents and children often wind up changingroles in life as they get older,she writes in her book.But never,I thought,is that transfbnnation as obviousas when they climb together.On September 23,Dierdre and her friends set out in the dark,at 6 a.m.The route is steep enough torequire all fours,grabbing rocks and trees and whatever else will hold the weight.Yet despite all difficulties,the team made it to the top.It was really inspiring to watch her and then to have her on top with all of us,“said one of Dierdre friends.There was a special look on everyones face.We knew where we were.Weknew how amazing the moment truly was.24.Why did Dierdre start climbing mountains?A.lb celebrate her birthday.B.To know her son better.C.To seek writing inspiration.D.To set an example for her son.25.Which of the following best describes Dierdre?A.Courageous and inspiring.C.26.A.C.27.Devoted and generous.B.Patient and

text?It was worth the efforts.It required special equipment.A.Mountain climbing benefits healthC.Slow down,better your lifeB.D.A mother goes beyond her sons wishClimb together,connect closerCEver since the fall of the Venetian Republic in 1797,locals have complained that Venice,its formercapital,is being overrun by visitors.Having spent decades trying to attract tourists,the city council is nowrethinking its approach.Earlier this year,the city proclaimed that visitors who enter Venice are demanded to pay a fee rangingfrom 3 to 10 euros in the peak season when the city is very crowded,unless they have booked the ticket intoVenice beforehand.This regulation will come into effect in January 2023.It is not only Venetians who think there are too many tourists.In Amsterdam,locals are fed up with drunkvisitors leaving a trail of litter.Some of the protests even attacked tourist buses and left the graffiti sayingtourists go home,refugees welcome.The word over-tourism“is created to describe the consequences ofhaving too many tourists.Even so,the rise in the number of the tourists is not the real problem.Says AlexDichter of McKinsey,People in 99%of countries in the world are crying out for more tourists,not fewer.He explains,tThe problem is that these tourists are all traveling to the same places.This has surprised many in the travel industry.The spread of the Internet was meant to disperse（分散）tourists by making less well-known places easier to find.Analyst at Skift,a travel website,attribute it to therise of the bucket list”,which featured a“list of things to do before I kick the bucket.And the result isobvious-tourists are all directed to the same“must see”places.Local authorities are working on strategies to cope.An extreme reaction is to ban tourists entirely or tolimit visitor numbers.A more subtle approach is to make changes to taxes and charges.Tourists staying in thecity center pay a higher tax rate than those staying far away.Thordis,Icelands tourist minister says,anotherpart of the answer is to spread visitors out by making different marketing campaigns or improving touristattractions for unfavorable seasons.Venice is currently improving its infrastructures to encourage tourists to visit more than just the mainsights.Traditionalists may refuse to build any new infrastructure in beautiful old cities.But more links canbenefit locals and visitors alike.One Chinese tourist thought this was a good idea,might be able to seemore of the history that way.”28.According to Paragraph 2,who is going to pay the extra fee?A.A visitor who spends a night in Venice in the peak season.B.A visitor who comes in the off season with friends.C.A visitor who buys the entrance ticket upon arrival in hot seasons.D.A visitor who comes in the hot season with reservations.29.According to Alex Dichter,which statement is TRUE?A.Most of the countries are demanding fewer tourists.B.The locals in Amsterdam welcome the visitors.C.People are travelling to various places.D.People all tend to go to the same places for sightseeing.30.What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Get a job.B.Get married.C.Pass away.D.Graduate from university.31.Which of the following can be an effective measure against over-tourism according to Thordis?A.Preventing the visitors from coming in peak seasons.B.Charging the visitors more fees when crowded.C.Building a hot spring in the remote cold area.D.Constructing more infrastructures in popular scenic spots.DThis summer,NASA launched its latest robot Perseverance on a seventh-month journey to Mars.Duringthe past decades,robot explorers on Mars have made great discoveries about the red planet,but they havenever found clear-cut signs of creatures currently living there.Life,at least as we know it on Earth,simplydoes not seem probable on the Martian surface.“If theres any life on Mars now,it needs at least some liquid water/9 Dr.Sumner said.The surface ofMars now is very dry.Extremely dry.If theres life on Mars now,it would be found deep underground.Actually,there has been some evidence that liquid water is locked away beneath the surface,so perhaps thereare sunless ecosystems hidden there,which are beyond the direct reach of our rovers and landers.“Recent findings of methane and other gases in whafs left of Mars9 atmosphere are a potential signature/9Dr.Farley said,supporting the theory about underground water.Many microbes on Earth produce methane,soit is possible that the gas on Mars could be related to alien life-forms deep underground.However,methane can also be created by a wide range of natural processes that have nothing to do withlife.Some experts,like Dr.Sumner from the University of California Davis,say that the presence of the gason Mars is not a surprise”because it has all the geological processes it needs to produce the gas without life.But even if we never find Martians,6tMars is a place we can go to answer some of the questions about lifeon Earth,v Dr.Sumner said.The red planet remains a time capsule of the era when life first began on our ownworld,and the direction it could have gone had all the factors that made our world possible,yet it turned outjust not the right way.32.Where can life on Mars possibly be?A.In the methane.B.On the surface.C.In the underground.D.In the atmosphere.33.Why is methane a potential signature of life on Mars?A.It proves the existence of microbes on Mars.B.Some forms of life on Earth can produce the gas.C.Underground water has something to do with the gas.D.It shows different kinds of gas exist in the air on Mars.34.What does Dr.Sumner suggest in paragraph 4?A.Methane doesnt actually exist on Mars.B.Methane is a necessary condition of life.C.Scientists have predicted the existence of methane.D.The discovery of methane doesnt guarantee life on Mars.35.What is the text mainly about?A.Arguments about life on Mars.B.The value of exploring Mars.C.NASA9s new robot on Mars.D.Discovery of water on Mars.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）Lacking chances to practise English?Thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency!Itis not very difficult.36 Today,we will share some mental exercises with you.A good first step is to think in individual words.Look around you.What do you see?37 As you continue with this,it becomes a habit.Things are going to flash into yourhead-computer,telephone,chair,desk,etc.,whatever it is and wherever you are.38 For example,if you couldnt think of the word“garage”,you can say in your mind,The place inside which I put my car”or Its next to my house.I keep things there”.The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences.For example,when sitting in a park,you can tellyourself things like,“Its such a beautiful day”and“People are playing”.39 You can also practisedescribing your daily activities.As beginning-level learners,you can describe the day using the simple presentverb form,like“I put on my shirt and He drives the bus”.You can also mentally make plans in the morningor list things youve done before going to bed.40 So the skill level is a little higher.When you are practising it every day,over and over again,little by little,you are thinking in English.A.But it takes effort and practice.B.It is extremely easy to understand.C.This would require other verb tenses.D.At some points,you will need a dictionary.E.Try to name each object in your surroundings.F.Then describe objects you dont know the words for.G.Once this becomes easy,you can move on to more difficult sentences.第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共 15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Joey Acuna from California,the US had been undergoing dialysis（接受透析）.Every 41
