　　I’ve had a bit of a thing for my elders.As a kid I wouldn’t leave my great-aunt alone.In my early 30s， I went on six coach holidays with a number of strangers twice my age for my book， The Gran Tour.So it won’t come as a surprise to learn that I lately dragged （硬拉） my old man to Scarborough for a mini-break.When I say dragged， I’m only half-joking.He didn’t fancy the coach ride， for a start.For the first hour of the journey， Dad behaved like a hostage （人質）， but by the time we’d reached Reading he was helping the couple in the next seat with the crossword.
　　It surprised me that he knew the answer to 4 down was “saturnalia” （an ancient Roman festival）.And the fact that it surprised me showed how relatively little I knew of the man.I knew his outline （概況）well enough — born 1952， shipbuilder in a factory， 12 years sober （沒有喝酒的） and counting， ever so kind — but not the full picture， not the finer details.I hoped that Scarborough might fill in some gaps.
　　And it did.Away from his fixed address， Dad began doing uncommon things.At dinner at the hotel on the first night， he ordered a dish he’d never heard of and then asked if I’d ever been hypnotized （施催眠術）.Later， over desert， he wondered if it was worth him getting into Instagram.It helped that he liked his new hotel.It offered， at every turn， considerable perspectives.Faced with fresh scenery， Dad’s thoughts went walkabout， and his chat went with them：“I knew a girl from Yorkshire once.Her name was Margherita.Moved to Holland with a dentist.”
　　When you go away with a parent， you see more of each other.Case in point：we were down on the beach one afternoon， just wandering about， when Dad suddenly took off his clothes and skipped merrily seaward.I could have done without seeing that side of him.
24.What does Paragraph 1 want to tell us about the author’s dad？（　　）
A.He enjoyed doing crosswords. B.He preferred travelling by coach.
C.His new book was liked by the elders. D.His attitude changed as the journey progressed.
25.What did the author hope to get from the trip to Scarborough？（　　）
A.His dad quitting drinking.
B.Knowing his dad at a deeper level.
C.His dad experiencing the Saturnalia festival in person.
D.Exploring the shipbuilding factory where his dad worked.
26.Why does the author mention Margherita from Yorkshire？（　　）
A.To explain his liking of the new hotel.
B.To tell the story of his dad and Margherita.
C.To show what his dad was like in a new environment.
D.To compare the scenery of Yorkshire and Scarborough.
27.Which of the following would be the best title for the text？（　　）
A.Like Father， Like Son B.My Dad， My Inspiration
C.A New Adventure That Surprised Me D.A New Side of My Dad That I Didn’t Expect
C
　　As extreme weather and human activities damage the world’s agricultural land， scientists and developers are looking at new and largely unproven methods to save soil for agriculture.In a Nova Scotia greenhouse， Canadian scientist Vicky L vesque is adding biochar （生物炭） — the burnt remains of plants and wood waste — to soil to help apples grow better.
　　Biochar is an artificial means of creating a carbon-rich product to boost soil health， modelled after exceptionally fertile areas of Amazon rainforest land called “Dark Earths” that were produced over time as a byproduct of cooking fires， animal and fish bones， broken pottery， etc.Biochar could be a “great opportunity” for trapping plant-sustaining carbon in soil， L vesque said， adding that biochar also acts like a water sponge （海綿）.
　　Her research， which started in 2012， has shown that clay soil treated with biochar emitted （排出） much less nitrous oxide， a powerful greenhouse gas， benefiting the atmosphere and trapping more carbon in the ground where it can boost plant growth.Some types of biochar increased yields of greenhouse tomatoes and sweet peppers by 32％ and 54％ respectively while requiring less fertilizer， due to biochar spurring the reproduction of bacteria that benefit plant growth.
　　In Malaysia， Nutrition Technologies produces “soil conditioner” from frass — the waste and skin of black soldier fly larvae （黑水虻幼蟲）.Specially treated frass led to a 12％ increase in plant-nourishing soil organic matter， something that otherwise declines over time， according to the company’s research.Nutrition Technologies sells an average of 200 tonnes of frass monthly in Malaysia， mainly to farmers who apply it to leafy greens， cucumbers and fruit， said Martin Zorrilla， the company’s chief technology officer.While most Malaysian fertilizer producers now sell their frass，volumes are still too low to draw the attention of global agriculture companies， Zorrilla said.
　　Long-established soil preservation techniques， such as cover crops and sowing crops during off-seasons， are proving no match for more frequent droughts， floods and temperature extremes.New solutions which improve the physical properties of soil may complement （補充） the traditional ways — if they prove profitable and effective.
28.Where does the idea of biochar come from？（　　）
A.A water sponge. B.A carbon-rich product.
C.Amazon’s dark earths. D.Vicky L vesque’s experiments.
29.What does the underlined word “spurring” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？（　　）
A.Encouraging. B.Controlling.
C.Continuing. D.Delaying.
30.What can be learned about “soil conditioner” made by Nutrition Technologies？（　　）
A.It hasn’t gone into production yet. B.Its effectiveness declines over time.
C.It hasn’t entered international markets. D.It can remove the waste and skin of some insects.
31.What is the author’s attitude to the future of new solutions to soil improvement？（　　）
A.Doubtful. B.Uninterested.
C.Curious. D.Positive.

　　Sir David Chipperfield is the latest winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize， the famous award that has gone in the past to the likes of Frank Gehry， Luis Barrag n， Oscar Niemeyer and Zaha Hadid.
　　Unlike those starchitects， Chipperfield creates understated buildings， including many elegant and dignified museums， such as the campus of the Saint Louis Art Museum in Missouri and the Des Moines Public Library.Crisp and minimalist， his aesthetic （審美觀） is timeless， rather than fashionable. As the Pritzker jury （評判委員會） wrote its words， “We do not see an instantly recognizable David Chipperfield building in different cities， but different David Chipperfield buildings designed specifically for each circumstance.”
　　How is the 2023 Pritzter winner feeling about being described as not “instantly recognizable”？“I’m happy with that，” Chipperfield said to the reporter.“The idea of the architect’s signature has become a rather overstated ambition.”
　　A Chipperfield building is one that thoughtfully merges into its environment， says architecture professor Mabel Wilson.“It’s also a building that’s very simple and precise，” she told the reporter.“It isn’t something that comes at you all at once but something that’s very measured.And I think that kind of accuracy describes Chipperfield’s practice.”
　　In 1997， Chipperfield’s firm was picked to rebuild Berlin’s Neues Museum.Built in the mid-1800s， the museum was bombed nearly to pieces during World War Ⅱ.“The building had stood as a ruin for more than 50 years，” Chipperfield said in a 2011 TEDx talk.“History had somehow left it behind.” Chipperfield preserved the remains as part of the design.“That was an incredibly controversial decision and it put me in conversation， let’s say， with the citizens of Berlin，” he explained.The process is an example of the cooperative effort Chipperfield sees as central to his practice.
　　In 2011 TEDx talk， Chipperfield scolded how so many buildings all over the world contain the DNA of bad modern architecture， due to some clients， a construction industry consumed with finishing fast and architects unconcerned about building for the future.
32.What do we know about David Chipperfield？（　　）
A.His appreciating beauty is out of date. B.His aesthetic is temporary.
C.He won the famous architecture award. D.He lacks recognition in the architecture field.
33.What can we learn about Chipperfield buildings？（　　）
A.They are at one with surroundings. B.They lack some modern factors.
C.They can be identified immediately. D.They are complex and changeable.
34.How did Chipperfield rebuild Berlin’s Neues Museum？（　　）
A.He put its war remains into his design. B.He abandoned its war remains in his design.
C.He copied its war remains into the building. D.He redesigned it with the citizens of Berlin.
35.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？（　　）
A.Entertainment. B.Environment.
C.Literature. D.Figure.

4 Tips for Effective College Visits
　　College visits are exciting and essential for students to gain an understanding of the school’s culture and evaluate the campus living environment.Below are 4 tips for effective college visits！
Research the schools you’re going to visit.
　　Before visiting schools， we highly recommend you do quick research using the school’s website to get an overview of the university.36.（　　） Having a good idea of the school can prevent you from asking admission officers questions that have readily available answers.
Immerse （沉浸） yourself in the local community.
　　One of the key criteria （準則） while considering a college is to consider whether you feel like you belong in the local community.37.（　　） Depending on the location of the school， the local community feel can be more rural of unban； but ultimately， it’s up to what you prefer.
Try out food in the dining hall and cafes around the school.
　　For some students， having access to a diversity of cuisine is crucial.38.（　　） In addition， you can always talk to or observe students in the dining hall to see whether they are enjoying the environment there.
Talk to as many people as possible.
　　Since you will only be at the college for a maximum of 1－2 days， take advantage of this opportunity to talk to as many people as possible.39.（　　） Once you have the chance to talk to them， ask them questions.
　　40.（　　） If you talk to current students， don’t forget to ask about extra-curricular activities， involvement opportunities on campus， the workload， etc.， because， once you attend college， you will be in the same shoes as them.
A.Its atmosphere and environment can potentially be the determining factor for students deciding whether the college is a right fit.
B.You should remember facts like campus size， financial aid — any information available on the Internet.
C.After that， you should come up with questions for various people you will meet on campus.
D.When talking to a professor， you can explore opportunities related to research.
E.You should also bring a notebook if you want to take notes about the campus.
F.Therefore， you should try to experience the food in the dining hall.
G.It can be professors， current students， or admission officers.

　　My best friend Jaime was the first to arrive， and then came Dawn， Tamika， and Angie.As we waited for Nicole， we killed time by admiring Angie’s new sunglasses.Angie was the first in our group to score a pair of cool sunglasses from her parents.We walked to the bathroom to ooh and ah over them as if they were decorated with diamonds.I was trying them on when my mom interrupted us to announce Nicole’s arrival.As a welcome gesture， I removed the sunglasses， placed them on the bridge of Nicole’s nose， and gave her a heartfelt hug.We then went to the basement for a board game.That was the last time we each recalled seeing Angie’s sunglasses.
　　The next morning， all of my friends were organizing their belongings before their parents picked them up.“I can’t find my sunglasses，” Angie said.The panic in her voice was obvious.“I know I put them in here.”Then， I asked my mom for an intervention.
　　“Calm down， girls，” she said.“Let’s retrace our steps.” My mother’s advice led us all to the bathroom.The investigation was going nowhere， and things really took a downturn when Angie turned on Nicole.
　　“You took them，” Angie accused her.“I didn’t，” Nicole said softly， shaking her head in protest.“I put them by the sink！I didn’t steal them， Angie， I swear.”
　　The search for the sunglasses continued until the parents arrived to pick up their daughters.Angie was the first to leave.She gave each of us a hug goodbye — everyone except Nicole.After a week or so， there was still no sign of the sunglasses.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2.請按如下格式作答。
　　One day， I was brushing my teeth before bed when something behind the bathroom sink caught my eye.
The next day， I revealed everything to Angie and Nicole.

　　That’s all.Thank you.
第二部分
21.C　22.D　23.B　
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者通過一場旅行增進了對父親的了解。
24.D　推理判斷題。根據第一段中的So it won’t come as a surprise ...with the crossword.可知，作者最近硬拉著他的父親前往Scarborough旅行。父親在旅行的第一個小時里表現得像一個人質，但當他們抵達Reading時，父親已經在幫助鄰座的一對夫妻解字迷了。由此可推知，隨著旅程的進行，作者父親的態度發生了變化。
25.B　細節理解題。根據第二段中的I knew his outline ...I hoped that Scarborough might fill in some gaps.可知，作者了解父親的大概情況，但對細節卻沒那么了解，他希望通過這次Scarborough之旅來補充這些缺失的信息。也就是說，作者想更深入地了解他的父親。
26.C　目的意圖題。根據第三段中的Away from his fixed address， Dad began doing uncommon things.可知，踏上旅程之后，作者的父親開始做一些平時不做的事情。下文接著進行了舉例說明。其中一個例子提到：面對耳目一新的
美景，父親的思緒也漫游起來，聊天內容也隨之變得散漫，來自約克郡的Margherita便是父親閑談的內容。由此可知，作者提及來自約克郡的Margherita是為了描述父親在新環境中的樣子。
27.D　標題歸納題。本文主要講述了一場父子之間的旅行。根據文章最后一句可知，沒有這場旅行，作者可能就看不到父親的那一面，點明了文章主題。因此，D項為本文最佳標題。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了兩種改良土壤的新方法。
28.C　細節理解題。根據第二段第一句可知，生物炭被用來制作富碳產品，以促進土壤健康。它效仿的是亞馬孫雨林中異常肥沃的土地，即“黑土”。由此可知，生物炭的概念來自亞馬孫黑土。
29.A　詞義猜測題。根據第三段中的Some types of biochar ...that benefit plant growth.可知，某些類型的生物炭能提高溫室作物的產量，且需要的肥料更少，原因在于生物炭會促進細菌的繁殖，而這些細菌有利于植物生長。因此，根據語境可推知，畫線單詞意為“促進”。
30.C　推理判斷題。根據第四段中的While most Malaysian fertilizer ...Zorrilla said.可知，Nutrition Technologies的首席技術官曾提到，雖然現在大多數馬來西亞的化肥生產商都在出售他們的產品，但數量仍然太少，無法引起國際農業公司的注意。由此可推知，該公司生產的“土壤調節劑”尚未進入國際市場。
31.D　觀點態度題。根據最后一段內容可知，作者認為傳統的土壤保護方法并不足以應對越來越頻繁出現的干旱、洪水和極端溫度天氣。如果能改善土壤物理特性的新方法可以帶來盈利且有效，那么這些新方法便可與傳統方法相輔相成。由此可知，作者對改良土壤的新方法的未來持積極態度。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了2023年普利茲克建筑獎得主大衛·奇普菲爾德的建筑觀點及他的建筑風格。
32.C　細節理解題。根據第一段中的Sir David Chipperfield is the latest winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize， the famous award可知，奇普菲爾德獲得了著名的普利茲克建筑獎。
33.A　細節理解題。根據第四段中的A Chipperfield building is one that thoughtfully merges into its environment可知，奇普菲爾德的建筑與自然環境融為一體。
34.A　細節理解題。根據第五段中的Chipperfield preserved the remains as part of the design.可知，奇普菲爾德保留了戰爭中的遺跡作為柏林新博物館重建設計的一部分。
35.D　文章出處題。根據文章首段可知，大衛·奇普菲爾德獲得了普利茲克建筑獎，下文介紹了他的建筑觀點和他的建筑風格。由此可推知，本文屬于人物介紹，可能出自報紙的人物欄目。

第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者在接受了一位老人的建議后才明白了旅行的意義。
41.C　根據上文I had a big dream in my mind and lots of things in my backpack可知，作者有一個夢想——背著行囊環游非洲。
42.D　根據上文I left my hometown可知，此處指到達目的地開普敦。arrive in 到達。
43.B　根據上文not really sure what to do next以及下文I met a kind， old Nigerian man可知，作者剛到達時不知所措，但是遇見了一位和藹的老人，可見作者很幸運。
44.C　根據下文Be like a student on your way around the world.和最后一段中的Having a student-like attitude helped me learn a lot.可知，老人給了作者最好的旅行建議。

46.D　下文travel is about learning and observing different是作者對旅行的感悟。
47.A　根據下文The culture didn’t 　51　me.可知，旅行就是學習和觀察不同的文化。
48.B　根據空后to learn from the locals和語境可知，此處指試著向當地人學習。 try to do ...努力做……，嘗試做……
49.D　根據上文study， ask questions， and 　48　 to learn from the locals可以推斷出，學習、問問題并試圖向當地人學習會讓人擁有更豐富的經歷。
50.A　根據上文老人給作者的建議——要像學生一樣去環游世界可知，作者在不認識老人之前，只是一個普通的旅行者。
51.D　根據下文I left the cities and towns without really 　52　 anyone or anything.可知，當地的文化也沒有影響到作者。
52.A　根據上文I only stayed there for a week ...then left.可知，作者匆匆離開這些城市，并沒有真正認識當地的任何人，了解到任何事。

第一節
Dear John，
　　Having received your email asking about my Spring Festival holiday plan， I’m more than delighted to share it with you.
　　To explore the splendid culture of China， I， together with some of my classmates， am planning a trip to Henan Province by high-speed train.Henan， known as “the Central Plains”， is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization.We’ll visit two major cities in Henan， Luoyang and Kaifeng， both of which served as capital cities of several dynasties， boasting a rich historical heritage and many scenic attractions as well.
　　What about your arrangements for your vacation？
Yours，
Li Hua
第二節
　　One day， I was brushing my teeth before bed when something behind the bathroom sink caught my eye.I looked down and found the sunglasses lying there.This was an area that， in our haste， would have easily been overlooked during our initial search.Although we had all seen Nicole put the sunglasses on， no one saw her take them off and place them near the sink.I was so overjoyed that I nearly choked on my toothbrush！
　　The next day， I revealed everything to Angie and Nicole.Nicole was thankful that the misunderstanding had finally come to an end， but she said she was even happier about the fact that I had stood by her.It was Angie’s response that had thrown me for a loop：She said that I was a good friend for standing by Nicole when she had written her off too quick.She also said that she was sorry that her actions had made my birthday party less enjoyable.All was forgiven， and in a few days， we were back to normal and looking forward to the next slumber party.

then cycle to school.Generally， we take 2 to 4 classes every day.After
school， I like doing my homework at the library， because it is very quiet
there.At about 7：00 pm， I return home and have dinner with my
parents.I usually go to bed at 11：00 pm.
　　In my spare time， you can often see me appear in some interest clubs
like the sports club and the Chinese calligraphy club.Sometimes， I also
go to my friends’ places.In addition， during the early autumn and
summer I often go to the playground.I like joining in different sports
events.
　　That’s all.Thank you.

B
　　I’ve had a bit of a thing for my elders.As a kid I wouldn’t leave
my great-aunt alone.In my early 30s， I went on six coach holidays with a
number of strangers twice my age for my book， The Gran Tour.So it
won’t come as a surprise to learn that I lately dragged （硬拉） my old
man to Scarborough for a mini-break.When I say dragged， I’m only
half-joking.He didn’t fancy the coach ride， for a start.For the first hour
of the journey， Dad behaved like a hostage （人質）， but by the time
we’d reached Reading he was helping the couple in the next seat with the
crossword.
　　It surprised me that he knew the answer to 4 down was “saturnalia”
（an ancient Roman festival）.And the fact that it surprised me showed
how relatively little I knew of the man.I knew his outline （概況）well
enough — born 1952， shipbuilder in a factory， 12 years sober （沒有喝
酒的） and counting， ever so kind — but not the full picture， not the
finer details.I hoped that Scarborough might fill in some gaps.
　　And it did.Away from his fixed address， Dad began doing
uncommon things.At dinner at the hotel on the first night， he ordered a
dish he’d never heard of and then asked if I’d ever been hypnotized
（施催眠術）.Later， over desert， he wondered if it was worth him
getting into Instagram.It helped that he liked his new hotel.It offered， at
every turn， considerable perspectives.Faced with fresh scenery， Dad’s
thoughts went walkabout， and his chat went with them：“I knew a girl
from Yorkshire once.Her name was Margherita.Moved to Holland with a
dentist.”
　　When you go away with a parent， you see more of each other.Case
in point：we were down on the beach one afternoon， just wandering
about， when Dad suddenly took off his clothes and skipped merrily
seaward.I could have done without seeing that side of him.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者通過一場旅行增進了對父親的
了解。
本文是一篇記敘文。作者通過一場旅行增進了對父親的
了解。
24. What does Paragraph 1 want to tell us about the author’s dad？
（　　）
A. He enjoyed doing crosswords.
B. He preferred travelling by coach.
C. His new book was liked by the elders.
D. His attitude changed as the journey progressed.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第一段中的So it won’t come as a
surprise ...with the crossword.可知，作者最近硬拉著他的父親前
往Scarborough旅行。父親在旅行的第一個小時里表現得像一個人
質，但當他們抵達Reading時，父親已經在幫助鄰座的一對夫妻解
字迷了。由此可推知，隨著旅程的進行，作者父親的態度發生了
變化。
25. What did the author hope to get from the trip to Scarborough？
（　　）
A. His dad quitting drinking.
B. Knowing his dad at a deeper level.
C. His dad experiencing the Saturnalia festival in person.
D. Exploring the shipbuilding factory where his dad worked.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第二段中的I knew his outline ...I
hoped that Scarborough might fill in some gaps.可知，作者了解父親
的大概情況，但對細節卻沒那么了解，他希望通過這次
Scarborough之旅來補充這些缺失的信息。也就是說，作者想更深
入地了解他的父親。
26. Why does the author mention Margherita from Yorkshire？（　　）
A. To explain his liking of the new hotel.
B. To tell the story of his dad and Margherita.
C. To show what his dad was like in a new environment.
D. To compare the scenery of Yorkshire and Scarborough.
解析：　目的意圖題。根據第三段中的Away from his fixed
address， Dad began doing uncommon things.可知，踏上旅程之
后，作者的父親開始做一些平時不做的事情。下文接著進行了舉
例說明。其中一個例子提到：面對耳目一新的美景，父親的思緒
也漫游起來，聊天內容也隨之變得散漫，來自約克郡的Margherita
便是父親閑談的內容。由此可知，作者提及來自約克郡的
Margherita是為了描述父親在新環境中的樣子。
27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text？（　　）
A. Like Father， Like Son
B. My Dad， My Inspiration
C. A New Adventure That Surprised Me
D. A New Side of My Dad That I Didn’t Expect
解析：　標題歸納題。本文主要講述了一場父子之間的旅行。
根據文章最后一句可知，沒有這場旅行，作者可能就看不到父親
的那一面，點明了文章主題。因此，D項為本文最佳標題。
C
　　As extreme weather and human activities damage the world’s
agricultural land， scientists and developers are looking at new and largely
unproven methods to save soil for agriculture.In a Nova Scotia
greenhouse， Canadian scientist Vicky L vesque is adding biochar （生
物炭） — the burnt remains of plants and wood waste — to soil to help
apples grow better.
　　Biochar is an artificial means of creating a carbon-rich product to
boost soil health， modelled after exceptionally fertile areas of Amazon
rainforest land called “Dark Earths” that were produced over time as a
byproduct of cooking fires， animal and fish bones， broken pottery，
etc.Biochar could be a “great opportunity” for trapping plant-sustaining
carbon in soil， L vesque said， adding that biochar also acts like a
water sponge （海綿）.
　　Her research， which started in 2012， has shown that clay soil
treated with biochar emitted （排出） much less nitrous oxide， a
powerful greenhouse gas， benefiting the atmosphere and trapping more
carbon in the ground where it can boost plant growth.Some types of
biochar increased yields of greenhouse tomatoes and sweet peppers by 32
％ and 54％ respectively while requiring less fertilizer， due to biochar
spurring the reproduction of bacteria that benefit plant growth.
　　In Malaysia， Nutrition Technologies produces “soil conditioner”
from frass — the waste and skin of black soldier fly larvae （黑水虻幼
蟲）.Specially treated frass led to a 12％ increase in plant-nourishing soil
organic matter， something that otherwise declines over time， according
to the company’s research.Nutrition Technologies sells an average of 200
tonnes of frass monthly in Malaysia， mainly to farmers who apply it to
leafy greens， cucumbers and fruit， said Martin Zorrilla， the
company’s chief technology officer.While most Malaysian fertilizer
producers now sell their frass，volumes are still too low to draw the
attention of global agriculture companies， Zorrilla said.
　　Long-established soil preservation techniques， such as cover crops
and sowing crops during off-seasons， are proving no match for more
frequent droughts， floods and temperature extremes.New solutions which
improve the physical properties of soil may complement （補充） the
traditional ways — if they prove profitable and effective.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了兩種改良土壤的新
方法。
本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了兩種改良土壤的新
方法。
28. Where does the idea of biochar come from？（　　）
A. A water sponge.
B. A carbon-rich product.
C. Amazon’s dark earths.
D. Vicky L vesque’s experiments.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第二段第一句可知，生物炭被用來制作
富碳產品，以促進土壤健康。它效仿的是亞馬孫雨林中異常肥沃的土
地，即“黑土”。由此可知，生物炭的概念來自亞馬孫黑土。
29. What does the underlined word “spurring” in Paragraph 3 probably
mean？（　　）
A. Encouraging. B. Controlling.
C. Continuing. D. Delaying.
解析：　詞義猜測題。根據第三段中的Some types of
biochar ...that benefit plant growth.可知，某些類型的生物炭能提
高溫室作物的產量，且需要的肥料更少，原因在于生物炭會促進
細菌的繁殖，而這些細菌有利于植物生長。因此，根據語境可推
知，畫線單詞意為“促進”。
30. What can be learned about “soil conditioner” made by Nutrition
Technologies？（　　）
A. It hasn’t gone into production yet.
B. Its effectiveness declines over time.
C. It hasn’t entered international markets.
D. It can remove the waste and skin of some insects.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第四段中的While most Malaysian
fertilizer ...Zorrilla said.可知，Nutrition Technologies的首席技術
官曾提到，雖然現在大多數馬來西亞的化肥生產商都在出售他們
的產品，但數量仍然太少，無法引起國際農業公司的注意。由此
可推知，該公司生產的“土壤調節劑”尚未進入國際市場。
31. What is the author’s attitude to the future of new solutions to soil
improvement？（　　）
A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested.
C. Curious. D. Positive.
解析：　觀點態度題。根據最后一段內容可知，作者認為傳統
的土壤保護方法并不足以應對越來越頻繁出現的干旱、洪水和極
端溫度天氣。如果能改善土壤物理特性的新方法可以帶來盈利且
有效，那么這些新方法便可與傳統方法相輔相成。由此可知，作
者對改良土壤的新方法的未來持積極態度。

　　Sir David Chipperfield is the latest winner of the Pritzker Architecture
Prize， the famous award that has gone in the past to the likes of Frank
Gehry， Luis Barrag n， Oscar Niemeyer and Zaha Hadid.
　　Unlike those starchitects， Chipperfield creates understated
buildings， including many elegant and dignified museums， such as the
campus of the Saint Louis Art Museum in Missouri and the Des Moines
Public Library.Crisp and minimalist， his aesthetic （審美觀） is
timeless， rather than fashionable. As the Pritzker jury （評判委員會）
wrote its words， “We do not see an instantly recognizable David
Chipperfield building in different cities， but different David Chipperfield
buildings designed specifically for each circumstance.”
　　How is the 2023 Pritzter winner feeling about being described as not
“instantly recognizable”？“I’m happy with that，” Chipperfield
said to the reporter.“The idea of the architect’s signature has become a
rather overstated ambition.”
　　A Chipperfield building is one that thoughtfully merges into its
environment， says architecture professor Mabel Wilson.“It’s also a
building that’s very simple and precise，” she told the reporter.“It
isn’t something that comes at you all at once but something that’s very
measured.And I think that kind of accuracy describes Chipperfield’s
practice.”
　　In 1997， Chipperfield’s firm was picked to rebuild Berlin’s
Neues Museum.Built in the mid-1800s， the museum was bombed nearly
to pieces during World War Ⅱ.“The building had stood as a ruin for more
than 50 years，” Chipperfield said in a 2011 TEDx talk.“History had
somehow left it behind.” Chipperfield preserved the remains as part of
the design.“That was an incredibly controversial decision and it put me in
conversation， let’s say， with the citizens of Berlin，” he
explained.The process is an example of the cooperative effort Chipperfield
sees as central to his practice.
　　In 2011 TEDx talk， Chipperfield scolded how so many buildings all
over the world contain the DNA of bad modern architecture， due to some
clients， a construction industry consumed with finishing fast and
architects unconcerned about building for the future.

32. What do we know about David Chipperfield？（　　）
A. His appreciating beauty is out of date.
B. His aesthetic is temporary.
C. He won the famous architecture award.

the latest winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize， the famous award
可知，奇普菲爾德獲得了著名的普利茲克建筑獎。
33. What can we learn about Chipperfield buildings？（　　）
A. They are at one with surroundings.
B. They lack some modern factors.
C. They can be identified immediately.
D. They are complex and changeable.

4 Tips for Effective College Visits
　　College visits are exciting and essential for students to gain an
understanding of the school’s culture and evaluate the campus living
environment.Below are 4 tips for effective college visits！
Research the schools you’re going to visit.
　　Before visiting schools， we highly recommend you do quick
research using the school’s website to get an overview of the
university.36.（　　） Having a good idea of the school can prevent
you from asking admission officers questions that have readily
available answers.
Immerse （沉浸） yourself in the local community.
　　One of the key criteria （準則） while considering a college is to
consider whether you feel like you belong in the local community.37.
（　　） Depending on the location of the school， the local
community feel can be more rural of unban； but ultimately， it’s
up to what you prefer.
Try out food in the dining hall and cafes around the school.
　　For some students， having access to a diversity of cuisine is
crucial.38.（　　） In addition， you can always talk to or observe
students in the dining hall to see whether they are enjoying the
environment there.
Talk to as many people as possible.
　　Since you will only be at the college for a maximum of 1－2
days， take advantage of this opportunity to talk to as many people as
possible.39.（　　） Once you have the chance to talk to them，
ask them questions.
　　40. （　　） If you talk to current students， don’t forget to ask
about extra-curricular activities， involvement opportunities on campus，
the workload， etc.， because， once you attend college， you will be in
the same shoes as them.
A. Its atmosphere and environment can potentially be the determining
factor for students deciding whether the college is a right fit.
B. You should remember facts like campus size， financial aid — any
information available on the Internet.
C. After that， you should come up with questions for various people you
will meet on campus.
D. When talking to a professor， you can explore opportunities related to
research.
E. You should also bring a notebook if you want to take notes about the
campus.
F. Therefore， you should try to experience the food in the dining hall.
G. It can be professors， current students， or admission officers.

　　閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構
成一篇完整的短文。
　　I was a fifth-grader.Today was my birthday and I was going to hold a
slumber party （睡衣派對） at my house.
　　My best friend Jaime was the first to arrive， and then came Dawn，
Tamika， and Angie.As we waited for Nicole， we killed time by
admiring Angie’s new sunglasses.Angie was the first in our group to
score a pair of cool sunglasses from her parents.We walked to the
bathroom to ooh and ah over them as if they were decorated with
diamonds.I was trying them on when my mom interrupted us to announce
Nicole’s arrival.As a welcome gesture， I removed the sunglasses，
placed them on the bridge of Nicole’s nose， and gave her a heartfelt
hug.We then went to the basement for a board game.That was the last time
we each recalled seeing Angie’s sunglasses.
　　The next morning， all of my friends were organizing their
belongings before their parents picked them up.“I can’t find my
sunglasses，” Angie said.The panic in her voice was obvious.“I know I
put them in here.”Then， I asked my mom for an intervention.
　　“Calm down， girls，” she said.“Let’s retrace our steps.” My
mother’s advice led us all to the bathroom.The investigation was going
nowhere， and things really took a downturn when Angie turned on
Nicole.
　　“You took them，” Angie accused her.“I didn’t，” Nicole
said softly， shaking her head in protest.“I put them by the sink！I
didn’t steal them， Angie， I swear.”
　　The search for the sunglasses continued until the parents arrived to
pick up their daughters.Angie was the first to leave.She gave each of us a
hug goodbye — everyone except Nicole.After a week or so， there was
still no sign of the sunglasses.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；

參考范文：
　　One day， I was brushing my teeth before bed when something
behind the bathroom sink caught my eye.I looked down and found the
sunglasses lying there.This was an area that， in our haste， would
have easily been overlooked during our initial search.Although we had
all seen Nicole put the sunglasses on， no one saw her take them off
and place them near the sink.I was so overjoyed that I nearly choked on
my toothbrush！
　　The next day， I revealed everything to Angie and Nicole.Nicole
was thankful that the misunderstanding had finally come to an end，
but she said she was even happier about the fact that I had stood by
her.It was Angie’s response that had thrown me for a loop：She said
that I was a good friend for standing by Nicole when she had written her
off too quick.She also said that she was sorry that her actions had made
my birthday party less enjoyable.All was forgiven， and in a few
days， we were back to normal and looking forward to the next slumber
party.
謝謝觀看！
