And a story can be told about each of them. “Hot” is a simple, easily-understood word. So are most of the expressions ma
28、de with the word “hot”. But not always, as we shall see. Take the phrase “hot potato” for example. The potato is a popular vegetable in the United States. Many people like baked potatoes, cooked in an oven or fire. Imagine trying to carry a hot, baked potato in your hand. It would be difficult, even
29、 painful, to do so. One such hot potato is taxes. Calling for higher taxes can mean defeat for a politician. And yet, if taxes are not raised, some very popular government programs could be cut, which can also make a politician very unpopular. Another expression is “not so hot”. If you ask someone h
30、ow she feels, she may answer: Not so hot. What she means is that she does not feel well. “Not so hot” is also a way of saying that you do not really like something. “A hot shot” is a person, often a young person, who thinks he can do anything. At least he wants to try. He is very sure he can succeed
31、. But often he fails. The expression came from the army. A hot shot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully.A person who becomes angry easily is called “a hothead”. An angry persons neck often becomes red. We say he is “hot under the collar”. You could say that your friend is no hothead. Bu
32、t he got hot under the collar when someone took his radio. The hot line was a direct communication link between the leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States. The hot line had an important purpose: to prevent accidental war between the two competitors during the period known as the Cold War.
33、 The American president and the Soviet leader were able to communicate directly and immediately on the hot line.56. If you describe something as a hot potato, it _.A. is very popular B. has a high temperatureC. is very difficult to deal with D. cant be held in your hand57. According to the text, whi
34、ch of the following statements is NOT true?A. All of the expressions made with the word hot are simple, easily-understood.B. Taxes can be a hot potato for a politician if not handled carefully.C. The expression “a hot shot” was born in the military forces. D. If you say that the new play you saw las
35、t night is not so hot, you do not consider it a success.58. “Hot” is a word that is often used to talk about anger, which two phrases are associated with this meaning?A. a hot shot, a hot potato B. a hothead, a hot shotC. hot under the collar, a hothead D. a hot potato, hot under the collar59. The p
36、urpose of the first hot line was _.A. to stop the Cold WarB. to prevent accidental war between the two superpowersC. to promote the cooperation between the Soviet Union and the United StatesD. to make direct telephone links for the people in Moscow and WashingtonB There are two types of people in th
37、e world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes miserable. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds. The people who are to be happ
38、y fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the contary things. Therefore, they are contiunally d
39、issatisfied. By their remarks, they ruin the pleasures of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up origina
40、lly by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are sure of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact i
41、t is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious consequences in life, since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect,and scarcely that. This frequently puts them in b
42、ad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining some advantages in rank or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone stir a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join in
43、 to critciize their misconduct. These people should change this bad habit and try hard to be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and someti
44、mes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrel.60.People who are unhappy _.A. always consider things a little bit differently from othersB. usually are influenced by the results of certain thingsC. can discover the unpleasant part of certain thingsD. usually have a faul
45、t-finding habit61. People who are happy _.A. are richer than others B. are in better health than othersC. usually are pleased with what is pleasingD. usually are better at imagination than others62. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. We should pity all such unh
46、appy peopleB. Such unhappy people are critical about everythingC. If such unhappy people recognize the bad effects of the habits on themselves, they may get rid of itD.The bad habit of such unhappy people may bring them misfortune.63.If such unhappy persons dont change their bad behavior, the auther
47、s solution to the problem is that _A. people should avoid contact with them B. people should criticize their misconductC. people should help them recognize the bad effects of the habitD. people should show no respect and politeness to themCYoung adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in inter
48、national festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who arent in film school yet and arent, strictly speaking, even adults?They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with “red c
49、arpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.“Whats really exciting is that its film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit orga
50、nization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms. Gardner added.The nine shorts to be sh
51、own range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “A lot of the material is really mature,” Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The Choice is abo
52、ut the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.” Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These
53、 include a music video and full-length film whose title is Pressures.64. Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival _.A. is organized by a middle school B. is as famous as the Toronto FestivalC. shows films made by children D. offers awards to film school students65. Which of the following is true of Wingspan
54、 Arts?A. It helps young filmmakers to make money.B. It provides arts projects for young people.C. Its a media arts and leadership-training group.D. Its a national organization for young people.66. The underlined word “shorts” in Paragraph 4 refers to _.A. short trousers B. short kids C. short films
55、D. short storiesDThe world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice
56、 prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2022. These food-price increases, combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stabil
57、ity. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but well have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which
58、 three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawis harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion altogether.Second,
59、 the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol (乙醇) changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foo
60、ds tree crops, grasses and wood products but theres no case for the government to pay to put the worlds dinner into the gas tank.Third, we urgently need to weather-proof die worlds crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond which col
61、lects rainwater to be used in dry weather can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted
62、 upon the promise.67. An international fund based on the Malawi model would_.A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per yearB. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries In a yearC. decrease the food prices as well as the energy pricesD. give poor farmers access to fertiliz
63、er and highly productive seeds68. With the second step, the author expresses the idea that _.A. it is not wise to change food crops into gasB. it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tankC. we should get alternative forms of fuel in any wayD. biofuels should be developed on a large scale69.
64、Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. A rain-collecting pond is a simple safeguard against dry weather.B. A Climate Adaptation Fund has been established to help poor areas.C. The world has made a serious promise to build farm ponds.D. It makes a great difference whether we devel
65、op wood products or not.70. In the passage, the author calls on us to_.A. slow down but not to stop economic. B. develop tree crops, grasses and wood productsC. achieve economic growth and political stability D. act now so as to relieve the global food shortage第卷(共35分)第四部分：写作（共三节，满分35分）第一节：任务型阅读(共10
66、小题，每小题分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应的横线上。Some people believe that greed and selfishness have become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community, then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree
67、 or disagree with the above opinion?In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize(优先) caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-centered and self-concerned. Modern people act selfishly to survive th
68、e harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle(丛林) out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at
69、 the cost of colleagues. We are not in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences. In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newl
70、y invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned(谴责) then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts. Are we h
71、appier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the de
72、velopment of a mutually beneficial relationship. In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship
73、 with others. Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?Main comparisonsContexts_71_ are changing.In the past people put caring, sharingand generosity in the first _72_.Nowadays, people seem to be more _73_ about themselves._74_are changing too.People in the past appeared to be modest and self-effacin
