A

“Climate emergency”, Oxford Dictionary

Oxford Dictionaries has declared “climate emergency”, a situation in which urgent action is

required to reduce or halt climate change and avoid potentially unchangeable environmental damage

resulting from it, the word of the year for 2022.

Oxford said the words rocketed from “relative unknown” to “one of the most important terms

of ”, following a sharply increase in usage.

“Upcycling”, Cambridge Dictionary

Cambridge Dictionary has named “upcycling”, the activity of making new items out of old or

used things, as its Word of the Year 2022. Upcycling was chosen as the “Word of the Day” which

received more likes than any other ‘Word of the Day’ when shared on 4 July 2022. "We think it's

the positive idea behind upcycling that appeals more than the word itself," said Wendalyn Nichols,

Publishing Manager of the Cambridge Dictionary. "Stopping the process of climate change, let alone

changing it, can seem impossible at times. Upcycling is a concrete action a single human being can

take to make a difference.

"Climate strike", Collins Dictionary

"Climate strike" was picked by Collins Dictionary after being used on average 100 times more

this year than in 2022, which is defined as "a form of protest in which people absent themselves

from education or work in order to join demonstrations(示威游行) demanding action to resist climate

change". The term was first recorded four years ago when pupils skipped school to protest over global

warming - but the movement has grown over the last year.

21. What does the underlined word “halt” probably mean?

A. Stop. B. Cause. C. Increase. D. Start.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

It was a dinner party from hell(地狱). Not because of the lovely guests. The problem was that

they were all experts in cooking. And they were all waiting for a pudding I had cooked for them.

I lifted my spoon high above the poached (水煮) peach and readied myself for it to sink easily

into the peach. Instead the spoon bent at the neck. The fruit was hard, even though it had been cooked

for an hour.

It was my stupid mistake. Over the past two years or so, I have passed judgment on the cooking

skills of over 100 chefs. I thought it could now be fun to get some chefs to pass judgment on me.

Little did I know what I was letting myself in for.

The starter was a French onion pie. It's a classic dish and would be a test of my skills. And

it's the only cooked starter I know how to do.

Next, the main course. My wife suggested doing the mutton first. I agreed. It's a good dinner

party dish because even if you overcook the meat, it's still a pleasure. The mutton is filled with

a mixture of small pieces of bread, tomatoes, olives and so on. The only problem is that in this

condition the meat has to come out pink, which fortunately it did.

As to the pudding, I would do peaches poached in Muscat wine with cream. There was only one problem

that I had forgotten that peaches were out of season and much like rocks.

What did the guest chefs say about my cooking ability? “With all good dinner parties, as with

the best restaurants, the food is by no means the only important thing and it was exciting that the

party combined great diners and my hosts' generosity. And the food? As it happens, it was really

rather good — should have had a cheese course though. And the plates could have been hotter.”

24. What did the author mean by saying it was “a dinner party from hell”?

25. Why did the author hold the dinner party?

A. To advertise his restaurant. B. To find out how it felt to be judged.

D. To ask for opinions about his new dish.

A. The guests were knowledgeable about cooking.

B. He was hopelessly disorganized.

C. The guests were not welcomed.

D. He failed to make a pudding.

22. What are the words “Climate emergency”, “Upcycling” and “Climate strike” related to?

A. Climate.

B. Environment.

C. Protecting the Earth. D. Protecting the animals. C. To express his thanks to the 100 chefs.

23. What is probably the best title of the text?

A. The Earth in the Trouble

C. The Dictionaries in Need

B

B. The Year Words in 2022

D. The Main Problems in 2022

26. What was the key to the success of the mutton dish?

A. Getting the cooking time right.

C. Mixing the food in order.

B. Making the mutton have proper taste.

D. Using the right cooker.

27. What was the author's problem according to the guests' judgment?

A. He had presented the meal improperly.

- 2 - / 8

B. He had missed out an important dish.

C. He had served the food on hot plates.

C

D. He had bought fruit out of season. 30. What is Lauren Weiss's opinion about Make School?

A. It is a school worth attending. B. It values school rules above all else.

D. It offers various entertainment programs. C. It is poorer than colleges in Colorado.

Make School is one of the most unusual schools in the country: It lets students enter school

for free if they agree to pay later after they land a job.

Ashu Desai helped create Make School in . The goal at Make School is not getting good grades.

It's putting together a list of practical work able to impress Silicon Valley companies and let them

make job offers.

Make School runs programs of varying lengths. Its “Product College” is a two-year computer

science program that combines internships (实习) at big-name Silicon Valley companies with classes

that are light on class and heavy on projects. The goal is for graduating students to have created

games or other apps they can take to job interviews.

Make School depends on an “income-share agreement,” which allows students to go to school and

not have to take out debts — if they agree to pay the school a part of their future earnings.

About 85 percent of the Product College students are men. But Desai said the school is working

together with organizations like Girls Who Code to raise the number of women.

Lauren Weiss, 18, has attended two summer programs at Make School. While she's heading to college

in her home state of Colorado this fall, it's mostly because she earned a full-ride scholarship,

not because she thinks it'll be better than the Product College.

“They're able to teach students more than any other program ever could,” she said. “People

really are pushed to grow.”

But Barmak Nassirian, director of federal policy at the American Association of State Colleges

and Universities, warned that there are few rules and students may fall into traps if they don't

read the terms carefully.

Nassirian also said he was somewhat encouraged by Make School, though, in part because of the

investors who have backed it.

28. What makes Make School different from other schools?

A. It is run by big-name companies. B. It can provide job offers for students.

D. It focuses on grades more than

31. What is Barmak Nassirian's attitude to Make School?

A. Optimistic. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.

D

Elizabeth Bishop is considered one of the best American poets of the 20th century. She was born

in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1911. Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered

from the loss; she went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia, Canada when she was five.

Eventually Bishop attended Vassar College, where she began to write poetry.

At Vassar she discovered Marianne Moore's poetry and met “Ms. Moore” and began their life-long

friendship. She later met poet Robert Lowell. She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them,

which is good for us because we would otherwise know very little of her personal life. Bishop's poetry

is sometimes considered objective and cold because it shows almost nothing about the poet or her

life.

Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979. She would

spend years working on a single poem. Her poems are not the result of hasty scribbling (匆忙乱写)

on paper while eating breakfast. Over a lifetime of writing, she only published about 275 pages of

poetry, and about 40 of those are translations. She would look through drafts of poems again and

again and improve them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.

Reading Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place, the very moment she's

writing about. She leads us to a microscope so we can see every smallest part of the scene. It seems

she's always asking us to notice more, and more until the poem is so clear in our minds that it's

almost painful — like a light that's too bright. It might take your eyes a while to get used to

it, but once they do, you'll like what you see.

32. What do we know about Bishop's early life?

A. She started to write poems at five.

B. She was always encouraged by her parents.

C. She spent her childhood mainly in Worcester.

D. She was mainly brought up by her grandparents.

C. It allows students to pay after getting jobs.

practical work.

29. What can we learn about “Product College”?

A. It designs apps for students. B. It helps students pay back their debts.

D. It is trying to attract more women

C. It interviews students for Silicon Valley.

students.

33. Why are Bishop's letters to Moore and Lowell important?

A. They have a deep influence on other poets.

- 3 - / 8

B. They offer much information about her life.

C. They help us study Moore and Lowell's poetry.

D. They prove she had friendships with famous poets.

5. Laugh

If you're stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is laughing. 40 If you are

able to smile during your day, you'll soon begin to see the effects of stress slowly disappear.

A. Stress is not good for people's health.

B. Deep breathing lowers the blood pressure.

C. Laughing can calm the nerves and reduce stress.

D. Or write down your feelings onto a piece of paper.

E. Keep yourself at an easy speed and breathe properly.

F. Taking a deep breath in stressful situations has proven to be helpful.

Besides the 49 that children enjoy with animals, pets can replace the absence of other family

members. Sometimes a couple who is 50 to have children will keep pets. They shower the 51 on

their pets that they might have provided a child, and receive companionship in return. Many people

who are living 52 enjoy the companionship of a pet instead of loved ones who are at a distance

or have 53 . The pet becomes a family member for these people and deserves the same kind of treatment

that a family member would get.

Stress is so common that many people choose to ignore it. But without proper management, stress

can become much more serious. Listed here are 5 proven ways to deal with stress.

1. Breathe

36 Slow, deep breathing stops the mind focusing on whatever else might be going on, and actively

lowers stress levels. Practicing breathing can help you to build up a great attitude to your life.

2. Write

Instead of allowing a disorder of thoughts and ideas to jump around inside your head, let them

fall out onto your computer keyboard instead. 37

They don't even have to make sense. Minutes later, you might be surprised at how light, airy

and carefree you feel.

3. Walk

If you're feeling stressed, drop everything and go for a walk. 38 Walking provides your body

with an ideal relief for the build-up of energy that stress can create.

on.

going to help, and her kids are excited to volunteer when they come home from college every vacation.

M: Well, that’s great. Good luck with everything.

As an animal doctor, I meet many kinds of animals. You may think that an animal doctor mainly sees

animals that are very sick or badly treated, but that is not always the case. People who bring their

pets to see an animal doctor are usually animal lovers and care greatly for their pets. In fact,

it is a pity we do not get to see more animals that are really in need of treatment. Of course, most

animals that I often see are cats and dogs, with a few rabbits. I treat kangaroos and snakes at the

local zoo sometimes. Perhaps my biggest and strangest challenge was treating a giraffe for neck

problems. It is normally quite easy to fit something to an animal to stop it bending its neck. Obviously,

for a giraffe this is a big problem. I tried various pieces of plastic and metal until I came up

with a solution — a very long water pipe. My work also takes me to farms where I look after cows,

sheep and so on. I think my job is very important and I like my job.
