• 2．Like so many young bookish kids I wrote poems and stories and filled pages of journals with dreams.But even though I adored writing，I still knew that being a real-life writer was a dream both great and impossible
  At different times I harboured the possibility that it might work.When I was seventeen，I wrote a story that was published in a collection.At college，I entered local writing competitions and had success.A couple of times，I wanted to register for a creating writing degree offered by Harvard University，but each time，the fear of failure held me back.Then I understood the dream was indeed impossible and I gave up writing setting out on the path to become a teacher.

• 3．Architect Diébédo Francis Kéré of Burkina Faso won the Pritzker Prize，the world's highest recognition in building design.
     Kéré is a citizen of both Burkina Faso and Germany and lives in Berlin.He said he was the "happiest man on this planet" to become the 51st recipient of the famous yearly prize.Kéré is famed for building schools，health centers，housing and other public spaces across Africa.His buildings can be found in his homeland，as well as in Benin，Mali，Kenya，Mozambique，Togo and Sudan.When he was twenty in 1985，Kéré earned a vocational scholarship to study carpentry in Berlin.But while absorbed in the practicality of roofing and furniture making，he also attended night school and was admitted to Technische Universit?t Berlin，from which he graduated in 2004 with an advanced degree in architecture.He was still a student when he designed and built the innovative Gando Primary School.
     Unlike traditional school buildings，which use concrete，Kéré's inventive design combined local clay and cement to form bricks.The material helps keep the building cool in a hot environment.A wide，raised metal roof protects the building from rain and helps air flow.Kéré involved the local community throughout the design and building of the school.The number of students at the school increased from 120 to 700.
     Kéré is the first African to be honored with the Pritzker.In his native Burkina Faso，citizens celebrated the win.Nebila Aristide Bazie，head of the Burkina Faso architects' council，said the award "highlights the African architect and the people of Burkina Faso. "
     "He knows，from within，that architecture is not about the object but the objective；not the product，but the process， " says the 2022 Jury Citation（評(píng)審辭），in part. "Francis Kéré's entire body of work shows us the power of materiality rooted in place.His buildings，for and with communities，are directly of those communities-in their making，their materials，their programs and their unique characters. "
  
  （1）What can we know about Kéré from the text？

  
  A．He got a degree in architecture in 1986.
  B．Many of his buildings can be found in Berlin.

  （3）What did Nebila probably think of Kéré's winning the Pritzker Prize？

  
  A．Touching and impressive.
  B．Amazing and unexpected.
  C．Deserving and fortunate.
  D．Exciting and inspiring.
  （4）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？

• 4．With rounds of pioneering space flights that could set the stage for future space tourism，it is worth looking at what might be involved for the human exploration of Mars，though it's likely decades away.Technological challenges aside，as we continue to expand our exploration of Mars，there is a question：What might be the lessons of past voyages of discovery that we should think about？
     Human exploration has led to many extraordinary new discoveries，but it has also led to the exploitation（開發(fā)） of resources.Not long after early European settlers arrived at America，they declared their independence and created the constitution by which modern American society functions.However，this did not prevent the settlers from referring to native people as savages and taking away their rights to liberty，happiness，and even survival.Native Americans were quickly killed by wars and new diseases as the new settlers expanded their land.The natural environment，with which they had established a harmonious relationship，was similarly destroyed by the settlement.
     Mars certainly has an impossible environment for human life，but on Mars，humans will be the invasive（侵略的）species.Will our landing on mars break the ecosystem on Mars？It is possible that Mars has ideal minerals for future development.But apart from technology challenges，will the mining have a disastrous environment impact on this red neighbour as it has already had on Earth？
     The achievements of space exploration are certainly to be applauded.The contributions of the related researches on chemistry，medicine and many others are potentially limitless.However，as we look to exploring worlds beyond our own，we need to begin now to look at history to consider how best to engage with different life forms，cultures and environments.We may be capable of writing a law，but we first need to clear our potential invasive impact on another planet that may be completely defenseless.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to？

  
  A．Modern American society.
  B．The creation of constitution.
  C．The settlement of Europeans.
  D．The exploitation of resources.
  （2）What's the author's concern about the exploration of Mars？

  
  A．Humans cannot survive on Mars.
  B．Humans may bring new diseases to Mars.
  C．The exploration may destroy Mars' ecosystem.
  D．Technology challenges will make mining on Mars hard.
  （3）What's the author's suggestion for future space exploring？

  
  A．Making relevant laws properly.
  B．Conducting more scientific researches.
  C．Predicting its impacts on other planets.
  D．Learning from past exploration experiences.
  （4）Which column is this text most probably taken from？

  
  A．Opinion.
  B．History.
  C．Technology.
  D．Environment.

第二題：七選五（共1小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）

• 5．You're going along，producing and feeling creative，but suddenly，you run out of ideas.You're stuck.Maybe it's in how you present your products and services to your potential clients，or maybe it's the products and services themselves. （1）

  
     Sometimes stress and anxiety can get in the way of creativity.And when you get even more stressed because you can't come up with new ideas，you make the block even stronger.Now's the time to relax and reduce your stress.Try yoga，or get some exercise. （2）

  Whatever it takes.Sometimes it takes just a little bit of stress relief before you suddenly get the old creative juices flowing again.
     Sometimes the best thing you can do to become creative again is to walk away. （3）

  So walk away.Take some time off and enjoy life.Let your brain take a rest from trying to figure it all out，and experience something new.You may come back with a wealth of new ideas.
    （4）

  What are people in your field talking about？What are the biggest topics and the most significant concerns for your potential clients？Finding out what these issues are can stimulate you to think of your business，your products，your services，and your presentation in a new way.
     Ideas can hit you at any time，in any place.You never know where you'll get a fantastic idea，and you don't want to take chances on forgetting something fantastic.I keep a pocket-sized Moleskine notebook with me at all times so I can jot down ideas at a moment's notice.I occasionally have to pull my car over on the side of the road for a moment to write down an article title or a new product I want to create. （5）

  Therefore，the best course of action is always to be prepared.
  A.Keep your own creativity flowing.
  B.Staring at the problem won't help you.
  C.Hey，if football is your thing，go do that.
  D.Creativity can hit when you least expect it.
  E.Sometimes it's as simple as looking at your own industry.
  F.Either way，you are in need of help so as to get out of the block.

• 19．Lungs nearly burst，I struggled to life my head out of the water.Inch by inch，my tired body reached for the end of the pool.
      The extent of my swimming career was purely recreational，while the competitive swimmers nearby thought nothing of the seemingly simple task of a 500-meter swim test.Pushing myself to finish what I had started，I could only think：why not take the easy was out？
      Early that week，I had turned in my first job application at a local pool.Overqualified，I was hired on the spot.However，the tasks were boring：helping confused visitors and measuring the height of children before they went down the slide，those sorts of things.I was capable of more.
      So a swim test was required，establishing the mere fact that I was not completely helpless in a pool.Midway through，the manager administering the test remarked， "This looks really easy for you.Why aren't you applying to become a guard？"
      "The thought didn't cross my mind."
      "Well，lifeguarding demands more responsibility，strength and respect.Thus the position pays ＄2 more per hour.Your swimming skills are strong enough.All you need to do is complete a certification class."
      Inside I was unsure of myself，but his words inspired me-You never know what you are capable of until you force yourself to do it.
      Soon I passed the swim test.All left was to practice and learn first aid，CPR（心肺復(fù)蘇），and procedures for different land and water-based emergencies.
      Work started soon.A well-intentioned yet anxious feeling in me soon passed.Days，weeks，and months went by without incident；emergencies were rare.The skills and training I had so carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary.
      Today appeared to be another uneventful day.However，shortly after the other guards signaled to the children to exit the pool，I noticed one boy was still in the middle while the others had climbed up.
      Paragraph 1：
      "Something must have gone wrong with him，" I thought to myself.__________
      Paragraph 2：
      Having the boy on the floor，I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck.__________
