Hotels were full, local specialties were nearly sold out, tourists came in droves from all parts of China... Rongjiang, a small county of Qiandongnan Miao and Dong autonomous prefecture in Guizhou province, has recently gone viral for its “Village Super League”.
Every week, more than 40,000 audiences flock to the stadium for the “Village Super League”. As of the end of June, 2023, the tournament has had more than 20 billion views on the Internet.
“This is a soccer carnival deeply rooted in the soil! I’ve covered numerous sports events, including the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. But it is really the first time that I have experienced such a down-to-earth and lively scene as this,” said Han Qiaosheng, a Chinese sports TV commentator.
During a match in May, Wu Chuguo, a decoration worker from Liubaitang village, Rongjiang County, scored a spectacular 40-meter goal that ignited the crowd. Wu said he was influenced by elders in his village and fell in love with the sport. In the county, rural soccer matches have taken place regularly since the 1990s. When there was a lack of facilities, soccer players used barren land as a field and wooden stakes（桩） for the posts. The boundaries were marked out with lim e powder. When they can’t gather enough players, they play futsal, a soccer-based game played on a smaller hard court.
In recent years, the county has focused on gymnastics, soccer, rock climbing and other sports, which has developed outstanding national and provincial-level sporting talent. What sets the Village Super League apart from other sports events are the vibrant displays of ethnic（民族的） cultures and traditions at the tournament.
“I hope that more and more tourists will come to Rongjiang to watch the matches, enjoy the folk customs and local cuisine, and have fun,” said Xiong Zhuqing, a melon grower who is also a cheerleader. She says she has sold over 10,000 kilograms of watermelons since the start of the tournament. As of June 27, a total of 654 new businesses were established, including 91 in the catering sector, 188 in retail, and 195 in agriculture and food processing, the local government said.
By combining tourism with sports, Rongjiang has found a creative and meaningful way to promote rural vitalization（振兴） and rural economic growth.

D. For the displays of ethnic cultures and traditions.
25. What can we infer from paragraph 4

Over five decades after being captured, Lolita, the star orca（虎鲸） in Miami Seaquarium, will finally be able to bid adieu to her tiny tank in Florida and return to her home waters of the Pacific Northwest to live out the rest of her days.
Lolita, also known as Tokitae or Toki, is a 57-year-old female orca from the now-endangered southern resident orca s that live in the North Pacific Ocean and Washington State’s Puget Sound. Lolita has lived at Miami Seaquarium since 1970, after she was captured from the waters of Puget Sound at 4 years old. Since then, Lolita has performed tricks in the aquarium pool until March 2022, when she was retired from public shows. She is currently the second oldest orca in captivity behind Corky, a 58-year-old male who lives at SeaWorld San Diego.
The aquarium announced it will begin the process of returning the orca to her natural habitat in the next two years. But Lolita’s age and the fact that she’s lived in captivity for decades and is unable to find food on her own could complicate her release back into the wild. “In a plan set to take up to two years, she will be first transported by plane to an ocean conservation area in the waters between Washington State and Canada, where trainers will teach her how to catch fish inside a large net,” said Mr. Colby, an environmental historian. “She will also have to build up her muscles, as orca s typically swim about 160 kilometers per day.”
One of the organizations campaigning for her release is PETA. “If Lolita is finally returned to her home waters, there will be cheers from around the world,” the group said in a statement sent to Newsweek. “It’ll offer her long-awaited relief after five miserable decades in a narrow tank and send a clear signal to other parks that the days of confining highly intelligent, far-ranging sea animals to prisons are ended.”
28. What do the underlined words “bi d adieu to” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Adapt to. B. Settle in.
C. Swim back to. D. Say goodbye to.
29. What do we know about Lolita according to paragraph 2
A. She was retired due to health problems.
B. She is the world’s oldest orca in captivity.
C. She enjoys performing tricks in the aquarium pool.
D. She has lived at Miami Seaquarium for over 50 years.
30. What does Mr. Colby convey in his words
A. Lolita will be trained to live in the ocean.
B. More orca s are expected to be released into the wild.
C. It is difficult to find a suitable natural habitat for Lolita.
D. Lolita will spend the rest of her life in the ocean conservation area.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Challenges of Saving Lolita
B. The Victory of Environmental Groups
C. Lolita: Set to Be Freed to Home Waters
D. Lolita: The Most Intelligent Orca in the World
D
Amsterdam, with its scenic canals lined with picturesque, 17th-and 18th-century buildings, a major European tourist destination, is slowly collapsing.
Sinkholes are appearing in small streets, and nearly half its 1,700 bridges are unstable and need repairs. The fundamental problem is the state of the canal walls: about 125 miles of them are so broken that they are in danger of collapsing into the canals, potentially taking buildings and people with them. As a huge project to shore up the canal walls gets underway, the city is beginning to look like one huge construction site.
Like much of the Netherlands, Amsterdam lies below sea level. Built on a swamp and heavily expanded in the 17th century, the city sits on millions of wooden piles that serve as foundations. As modern life changed the city, many houses were strengthened with concrete, but the foundations of streets and canal walls were ignored. Many of the wooden piles have shifted, cracked or collapsed under the pressure, causing bridges and can al side walls to sink and crack. Water then seeps in, washing away mortar（砂浆）, further hollowing out the infrastructure and creating sinkholes.
The alderman, Mr. De Vries, said that if the city had continued to ignore the problem, it would have headed straight for a catastrophe. The reconstruction will take at least 20 years and will cost 2 billion euros, perhaps even more. “These are big numbers, and work needs to take place in a very busy, closely-populated area,” Mr. De Vries said. “People live here and work here, and we usually have many tourists.”
He acknowledged that Amsterdam in the coming years would look different from its usual postcard self. Still, he insisted that tourists should not be discouraged from visiting. “We invite everyone to come and see what we are doing,” he said. “We want visitors to realize that such a magnificent city needs maintenance.”
32. What problem does Amsterdam face
A. Collapsed buildings pose a threat to tourists.
B. Bridges under construction disturb citizens’ life.
C. The canal walls are in danger of falling down.
D. Many old streets are in badly need of being widened.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Ways of building canal walls.
B. Causes of sinkholes in Amsterdam.
C. The effects of broken bridges on the city.
D. The geographical features of Amsterdam.
34. What can we learn about the reconstruction work
A. It is costly.
B. It demands more than three decades.
C. It is a huge and dangerous task.
D. It will promote local employment.
35. Which statement may Mr. De Vries agree with
A. The city will no longer be as magnificent as it used to be.
B. Modernity is usually achieved at a cost of the environment.
C. Maintenance and tourism should continue at the same time.
D. Repairs have become a serious obstacle to the city’s growth.
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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion—like stress, anger, or frustration. 36 Was your mind cluttered（凌乱） with thoughts Or was it paralyzed, unable to think
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. 37 Take the entire minute to do nothing else but feel that emotion.
If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. 38 When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you do that, release all that negativity with your breath.
This exercise seems simple—almost too simple. 39 By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. 40 When you lose yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task. Try it. Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens.
Remember to take the time you need to really immerse yourself in the emotion. Then, when you feel you’ve felt it enough, release it—really let go of it. You will be surprised at how quickly you can move on from a negative situation and get to what you really want to do!
A. Yet it is very effective.
B. This will remind you of the steps to the process.
C. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.
D. What was going through your mind as you were undergoing that negativity
E. While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.
F. Are you willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as you go through the rest of the day
G. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Many years ago, I lived in a densely populated old community in Northern California. There was a little girl named Grace that made me have a deeper understanding of the power of dreams.
I used to watch her from my kitchen window, who seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. A sea of children, and yet to me, she stood out from them all.
I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could.
I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark. One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly into my eyes and said without a moment of hesitation “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship. I like basketball. I decided that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count. ” Then she smiled and ran towards the court to restart the routine I had seen over and over again.
Well, she was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her team to victory.

第二节
One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head buried in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing,” came a soft reply. “I am just too short.” The coach told her that at 5’5” she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team—much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet.
She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. “My father said they just did not understand the power of a dream.” “Crace,” I said, “What your father told you is right. Nothing could stop you except one thing– your own attitude.” Looking directly into my eyes, she said, “You’re right. I’m not going to let this stop me.” She got up and walked back towards the court. I watched as she picked up the basketball and began to shoot again. She continued to work hard and believed in herself. In the end, she received a full scholarship to play college basketball and became one of the best players on her team. She made me firmly believe if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.

31. C 本文主要介绍了虎鲸Lolita，自1970年被人类捕获后，被圈养在迈阿密水族馆生活了五十几年，水族馆近日准备将其释放，让其返回海洋生活的故事，同时介绍了Lolita的安置与放生计划。结合选项，C项可以概括此内容，故选C项。
32-35 CBAC
【答案解析】
32. C 根据第二段内容可知，阿姆斯特丹的街道上到处是塌陷坑，1700座桥梁中有近一半的桥不稳固，需要维修。最根本的问题是运河边城墙的状况：大约125英里的建筑墙面破损严重，有坍塌入运河的风险，可能会造成建筑物受损和人员伤亡。随着一项加固运河城墙的大型工程的进行，这座城市开始看起来像一个巨大的建筑工地。由此可知，阿姆斯特丹面临的问题是运河城墙有坍塌的风险。故选C项。
33. B 根据第三段内容可知，像荷兰的大部分地区一样，阿姆斯特丹位于海平面以下。这座城市建在一片沼泽上，在17世纪进行了大规模扩建，将数以百万计的木桩用作地基。随着现代生活改变了城市，许多房屋用水泥和混凝土加固，但街道和运河墙的地基却被忽视了。许多木桩在压力下移位、开裂或倒塌，导致桥梁和运河侧壁下沉和开裂，然后水渗进来，冲走木桩大坝下的砂浆，进一步掏空地下的基础建设，形成塌陷坑。由此可知，第三段主要解释了阿姆斯特丹地面塌陷坑的成因。故选B项。
34. A 根据第四段中的“The reconstruction will take... Mr. De Vries said.”可知，重建工作至少需要20年，耗资20亿欧元，甚至更多。Mr. DeVries表示这是一个很庞大的数字，并且这些工作需要在一个非常繁忙、人口密集的地区进行。由此可知，Mr. De Vries认为重建工作的代价很高。故选A项。
35. C 根据最后一段内容可知，Mr. Dc Vries承认，未来几年的阿姆斯特丹看上去将不同于明信片上的阿姆斯特丹。不过，他坚持认为不应该阻止游客参观。他表示希望邀请大家来看看他们在做什么。他们想让游客意识到，如此宏伟的城市需要维护。由此可推知，Mr. De Vries认为城市的维修工作与旅游业应同时开展。故选C项。

We are more than delighted to announce that our club will organize a visit to a wastewater treatment plant this Saturday.
We will gather at the school gate at 9 o’clock in the morning and take a bus. During the visit, we will have the opportunity to see how different wastewater treatment technologies work and how they contribute to ensuring our water resources remain clean and sustainable.
Not only will this activity enhance our knowledge of wastewater treatment, but also raise our awareness of environmental protection. More students are welcome to participate in this activity and make the most of this valuable learning experience.

One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head buried in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing,” came a soft reply.“I am just too short.”The coach told her that at 5’5” she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team—much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet.
She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. “My father said they just did not understand the power of a dream.” “Grace,” I said, “What your father told you is right. Nothing could stop you except one thing—your own attitude.” Looking directly into my eyes, she said, “You’re right. I’m not going to let this stop me.” She got up and walked back towards the court. I watched as she picked up the basketball and began to shoot again. She continued to work hard and believed in herself. In the end, she received a full scholarship to play college basketball and became one of the best players on her team. She made me firmly believe if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.
