Maitreya（弥勒佛）in sitting posture.The Buddha is located inSichuan Province,facing Minjiang,Qingyi and Dadu rivers.In December,1996,the Buddha was included byUNESCO on the list of the World Heritage List.Facing the river，the Buddha has symmetrical（对称的）posture and looks which have been beautifullycaptured in its solemn（庄严的）stillness.The statue was begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty,and finishedin the year 803.The Buddha is 71 meters high.And its 8-meter-long instep（脚背）is big enough for one hundredpeople to sit on and the 28-meter-wide shoulder is large enough to be a basketball playground.It was a monk called Hai Tong who initiated the project.His concern was for the safety of the ordinarypeople who earned their living around the joint of the three rivers.Tempestuous and wild waters brought outnumerous boat accidents and the simple people put the disaster down to the presence of a water spirit.So HaiTong decided to carve a giant statue beside the river thinking that the Buddha would bring the water spirit undercontrol.Besides,the fallen stones dropped during the carving would reduce the water force there.After 20 years begging from door to door,he finally collected enough money for the plan.When some localgovernment officials tried to get this amount of money,Hai Tong said that they could get his eyeballs but not themoney raised for the Buddha.After he dug out his eyeballs,these officials ran away in fear.The project was halfdone when long-suffering Hai Tong passed away，and two of his disciples（门徒）continued the work.After a totalof 90 years hard work,the project was eventually accomplished.Having such a long history，the Buddha was nearly destroyed by the erosion（侵蚀）of wind and rain.Andwith its worldwide fame,the renovation of the Buddha has received extensive attention both at home and abroad.Then in 1963 the Chinese government began the repairing work under the instructions of experts from UNESCO.And at present,the maintenance work is still in progress.24.What was Hai Tongs purpose to build the statue?A.To gain fame.C.To respect the water spirit.B.To spread Buddhism.D.To protect local people.25.How did Hai Tong fund the project?A.By begging for money.C.By asking the government.B.By working on the river.D.By building businesses.26.Which word can best describe Hai Tong?A.Generous.B.Social.C.Devoted.D.Cruel.27.Which column of a newspaper does this passage belong to?A.Innovation.C.Policy watch.B.Art and culture.D.Forum trends.CFrom checking social media every minute to being lost in computer games,we tend to overuse technology.“For many people,a moment without your phone or laptop in sight can feel like a lifetime,”the Daily Mailcommented.Acomputer model called Mindy may persuade many people to think twice.Ateam from the US-basedcompany Toll Free Forwarding built a three-dimensional model to uncover the negative effects technology canhave on human bodies in less than 800 years.“Spending hours looking down at your phone strains your neck and throws your spine（脊柱）offbalance，”explained Caleb Backe，a health and wellness expert in the US.Then，the muscles in our neck needto spend extra effort to support the head,making our back hunched and neck wide.“The way we hold our phones can cause pressure in certain points of contact-causing text claw（手机手），”Nikola Djordjevic，a practicing physician in Serbia told the team.It affects the elbows too,causing pain inthe arm.Scientifically,it is called cubital tunnel syndrome（肘管综合征）Thats why Mindy has a 90-degreeelbow，and her hands look like shes always holding a mobile phone.Some people also commented that human evolution may not work this way.They believe that only featureswith actual benefits would be kept throughout the years.For example,features that can increase the rate ofsurvival,instead of the negative impact of technology.However,current human lifestyles still raise concerns.Amodel called Emma was built by researchers in theUK in 2019 to show how the way people work at their desks could change them in 20 years.The research team built Emma based on the health issues mentioned by over 3,000 workers in France,Germany and the UK.Emmas back stays bent,and her legs are swollen due to the time people spent in front ofcomputers.With little time spent outdoors and in the sun,her skin is pale,too.28.What is the purpose of building the

completes 15.5 circles per day,once every 92 minutes.In other words,the astronauts see the sunrise and sunset 16 times every day!The station is inhabited by astronauts conducting research in various fields,while also using it as anobservatory to explore Earth and outer space.It is also intended to be a transportation center for spacecraft that arebound for the Moon,Mars and other interplanetary voyages.The crew is not only responsible for the scientific experimentation and research being conducted onboard,but also the upkeep and maintenance of the vessel,a vessel that is continuously in motion and exposed to theworst possible elements.Such conditions are significant area of study for researchers.The most common effect of space is the initial contact-getting used to such an alien environment.Astronautsare often seen to display anxiety or depression as they adjust to the novelty of space,according to post-psychiatricscreenings of astronauts.Other causes of stress are the high pressure of work while being under frequent publicobservation,being away from home and family,and missing important events.Sleep is another major factor that affects the mood and efficiency of the astronauts.Due to the irregularity inlife and the constant rotation（转动）of sunrise and sunset，the circadian rhythm（生理节律）of the astronautsgoes completely haywire，resulting in poor quality of sleep.The shuttle itself is noisy,with essential equipmentalways in operation to sustain the vessel.Half of all the astronauts onboard rely on sleeping pills to get some restand manage to get an average 2 hours less sleep than when theyre back on Earth.Sleep is so critical forfunctionality that 50%of all medicines taken by astronauts in orbit is to help them sleep better.Low-Earth Orbitliving is a restless endeavor,indeed.32.Which of the following is most likely to affect the astronauts mood?A.Scientific experiments onboard.C.Interplanetary voyages.B.Observation of outer space.D.Exposure to extreme conditions.33.Which of the following can best explain the underlined phrase in the last paragraph?A.Return to normal.C.Go unnoticed.B.Become out of control.D.Remain unchanged.34.How can we describe the astronauts life in the ISS?A.Highly-pressured.C.Safe and sound.B.Trouble-free.D.Quiet and beautiful.35.What is mainly discussed in the passage?A.The functions of the ISS.B.The missions of the astronauts.C.The mental challenges of living in the ISS.D.The splendid view of the space.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Currently,ChatGPT is an exciting new AI
