amazing entertainment to audiences.Here are 4 popular variety shows of the year.Its never too late to start enjoying them.Become a Farmer(Feb.-Jul.,iQIYI)The farming-themed reality show took Chinese

were aired in the first half of 2023.DThey showcased various musical performances.BDifferent from regular concerts,roadside concerts in Guiyang,capital city of southwest Chinas Guizhou Province,allow people to immerse themselves in music.Without tickets or fences,young people held hands together,singing and dancing.Videos showing their relaxing and cheerful performances went viral after being posted on social media.From common people to stars,music brings people together.“Whether they are ordinary people or stars,when stepping onto the small stage by the road,they can enjoy the joy of music together,”said Zhou Wenjia,deputy head of the publicity department of Yunyan District.Sun Guang,head of Nanming Districts cultural and tourism bureau in Guiyang,became a hit for the roadside concert.“I have a music dream,”said Sun,who once took part in national competitions and performed on stage in Beijing.But for being busy with his work,he saw his guitar covered in dust.While seeing the flowing crowds,Sun signed up in secret,put on his leather jacket and sunglasses,and stood on his beloved stage.But perhaps because of his wonderful performance,some audience recognized him.When singing on the stage for the third time,a short video showing his performance became a hit online and received nearly 1 million views,which put him at a loss for a time.Qingyun Market,one of the venues of roadside concerts,is a famous tourist attraction in Guiyang which sells night snacks and local cultural and creative products.With the popularity of concerts,the market has become an important engine to boost the citys economy.“Roadside concerts now have become an important economic booster,and I could be a promoter.This is a good combination of my hobbies and duties,”said Sun.As roadside concerts continue to gain steam,music has become a driving force for consumption.Guiyang has made it clear that roadside concerts will continue to require zero tickets,zero business,and zero distance from the people,with an aim to build a city with warmth and hospitality.24What does the underlined expression“went viral”in paragraph 1 mean?Acaught a virus.Bbecame popular.Cpiled up.Dgot blocked.25What is the feature of the roadside concert?APeople enjoy the music together for free by the road.BMany superstars and bands enjoy street performances.CAudience immerse themselves in music inside the fences.DRoadside concerts gain little support from the government.26Why did Sun Guang sign up in secret?ABecause he is too busy with his work.BBecause he cant stand public attention.CBecause he wants to mask his real identity.DBecause he lacks confidence in his performance.27What can we infer from the last paragraph?ARoadside concerts will attract sponsorship to earn profit.BRoadside concerts will charge the audience in the future.CRoadside concerts are aimed to improve the urban infrastructure.DRoadside concerts can boost the economic development in Guiyang.COf all the creatures on the planet,the narwhal is one of the strangest looking.Its a whale which has a large protruding tusk coming out of its head;thats how it got,its nickname,the unicorn of the sea.They live in the Arctic Ocean off the coast of Canada,Russia and East Greenland.However,experts say some populations of narwhal could be extinct by 2025,and its all because of noise pollution.Narwhals rely on echolocation,which they use to find food and navigate their surroundings.The animal produces a sound wave which bounces off an object.They pick this reflected sound up through their lower jaw,and information on features like size and speed passes to their ears.However,increase in human marine activity,as well as climate change,has resulted in the Arctic Ocean becoming noisier,which means its more difficult for narwhals to rely on sound.Susanna Blackwell,who studies the effects of underwater noise on marine animals,told the BBC that there is noisier activity in the Arctic Ocean than ever because,as sea ice melts,new navigation routes are opening.And while icebergs breaking and creaking have been part of the ocean soundscape for hundreds of years,man-made noise is much harder for animals to adapt to,particularly as these changes are so sudden.Research published in Science Advances in 2023 recorded the reactions of narwhals to the simulated(模拟的)noises of oil expeditions made by a patrol vessel(巡逻船).The scientists tagged and tracked the creatures and found that,on hearing these sounds,they ended deepdives and stopped clicking,the echolocation signal they use for finding food underwater.This is the same reaction narwhals have to orcas,who hunt them,meaning human-made noise could trigger the creatures“threat button”.So,what can we do?Charlotte Findlay,a postdoctoral fellow at Aarhus University,says“noise is actually quite easy to solve.We need to either turn it off or turn it down.”28What can we learn about the narwhal from the first paragraph?AIt has a large tusk from its jaw.BIt currently faces the risk of dying out.CIt lives in the southern hemispnere.DIt sounds different from other whales.29What does Susanna Blackwells study show?ANarwhals navigate their surroundings by echolocation.BSea ice melting makes the ocean noisier than ever.CMan-made noise has a greater impact on marine animals.DNarwhals are not used to icebergs breaking and creaking.30What does the research mentioned in paragraph 3 imply?AA patrol vessel was applied in the research.BOrcas are the natural enemy to narwhals.CNoises would change the echolocation signal.DScientists tagged narwhals under the water.31Whats the best title for the passage?ASurvival of Narwhal threatened by man-made noise.BExperts predicting the extinction of the narwhal.CNew research set to solve underwater noise pollution.DNarwhal population affected by underwater noise pollution.DThe sporty all-electric car from the Netherlands resembles a BMW car,but is unique:It captures more carbon than it emits.“Our end goal is to create a more sustainable future,”said Jens Lahaije,finance manager for TU/ecomotive,the Eindhoven University of Technology student team that created the car.Called ZEM,for zero emission mobility,the two-seater houses a Cleantron lithium-ion battery(锂电池)pack,and most of its parts are 3D-printed from recycled plastics,Lahaije said.The target is to minimize carbon dioxide emitted during the cars full lifespan,from manufacturing to recycling,he added.Battery electric vehicles emit virtually no CO2 during operation compared with combustion-engine(燃烧式发动机)vehicles,but battery cell production can create so much pollution that it can take EVs tens of thousands of miles to achieve“carbon parity(相同)”with comparable fossil-fueled models.“Direct air capture is a fairly new method of cleaning the air by capturing CO2 into a filter(过滤器).We have made use of this innovative technology and implemented this in our car.The idea is very simple:while driving,air will move through our self-designed filters and the CO2 will be captured and stored.”ZEM uses two filters that can capture up to 2 kilograms(4.41 lb)of CO2 over 20,000 miles of driving,the Eindhoven team estimated.They imagine a future when filters can be emptied at charging stations,based on the fact that there are a nationwide charging infrastructure,which includes residential,commercial and public chargers across the country installed by the Energy Department,automakers and private businesses.The students are showing their vehicle on a US promotional tour to universities and companies from the East Coast to Silicon Valley,hoping to attract more financial support.It is hard to tell where the future will take the electric vehicles,but it is clear that they hold a lot of potential for creating a more sustainable future.In the end,only time will tell what road electric vehicles will take in the future.32What advantage does the newly-designed car have?AIt looks like a BMW car.BIt is a drive-less car.CIts a carbon-eating electric vehicle.DIt purifies air automatically.33What is paragraph 3 mainly about?AThe function of filters.BThe benefits of direct air capture.CThe application prospect of the technology.DThe operating principle of the technology.34What problem do the student team face according to the passage?ALack of research fund.BUnpredictable application prospect.CNo permission from the government.DStrong objection from the car companies.35What is Jens Lahaijes attitude toward the future of the sport y all-electric car?ADoubtful.BConfident.CConcerned.DPessimistic.第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分）分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to be more
