B

My mom could be quite a handful, which I have come to see as a blessing as the years have gone by but did not always appreciate when she was alive, especially after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

The news came as no surprise to us kids, of course. We’d seen our tough, sharp-witted mom change. But Mom was not about to take Alzheimer’s lying down. “There’s nothing wrong with me!” she insisted, even after she sideswiped a cop, denied doing it and then blamed it all on him.

Eventually my brother and his wife moved Mom to a sweet little house on the property next to theirs so they could keep an eye on her. They built a lighted path between the two houses so Mom could visit when she wanted, which occasionally happened at 5:00 a.m. when she thought it was 5:00 p.m. At Christmas, my sister-in-law, Toni, would hang Christmas lights along the way.

One thing we couldn’t do was make her eat properly, especially after she nearly burned the house down making tuna (金槍魚) salad. So we arranged for a senior meals-on-wheels program to deliver her meals. At first she wouldn’t let them in the house. “This is ridiculous,” she said. “I know how to eat!” Then she offered to help them deliver meals to “people who really need them”.

Eventually she relented — except that she would simply keep all the meals in the fridge, untouched, in case she happened to have hungry visitors. When we told the volunteers this, they were wonderfully wise and pretty soon they got Mom to eat. She even admitted that the food was “pretty good, considering”. We’re convinced the good nutrition helped keep her in her home a little longer before she had to enter a care facility.

So how proud am I that our friends at Volunteers of America, which operates meals-on-wheels programs for the elderly all over the country? Very proud. It was angels, after all, who were able to get my mother to eat.

24. What do we know about the author’s mother?

A. She troubled the family a lot.

B. She never suffered from Alzheimer.



第3頁,共8頁

C. She was a woman lacking intelligence.

D. She was easy to get along with.

25. How did the family help Mom?

A. They lived together with her.

B. They had her house beautifully decorated.

C. They assisted her in cooking matters.

D. They arranged delivered meals for her.

26. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “relented” in paragraph 5?

A. Panicked. B. Apologized. C. Agreed. D. Responded.

27. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A. Angels on Wheels B. A Lesson from Miserable Life

C. Living with Alzheimer D. Volunteering for the Disabled

C

On Monday, December 5, online retailing (零售) giant Amazon announced the opening of its first physical store. Called Amazon Go, the Seattle-based store that is currently being tested by company employees, learns from regular grocery stores except for one thing — “Just Walk Out” technology. All purchases are handled electronically, which means there are no cashiers, checkouts or lines. Shoppers simply take what they need and leave.

To shop at Amazon Go, customers need to open an Amazon account and download the store’s App onto their smartphones. Upon entering the store, they scan a QR code ( 二維碼 ) with their phones and begin shopping. Every item picked up gets added to the bill automatically. If the customer changes his/her mind, all he/she has to do is return the purchase back on the shelf, and it will be removed from the final bill. Once the customer leaves the store, the amount spent is automatically taken out from the Amazon account and a digital receipt is generated to remind the shopper of the trade.

To provide busy customers a pleasant shopping experience, Amazon, which has been working on this concept for four years, plans to keep the store size at a “comfortable” 1,800 square feet. In addition to typical grocery products like bread and milk, the store will stock ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch and dinner options, made by on-site chefs. There will also be chef-designed Amazon Meal boxes for those who prefer to cook the food at home.

After years of joint efforts by Amazon staff, Amazon Go finally opened in 2021. Amazon will not provide any insight into the cutting-edge “Just Walk Out” technology. The company website states, “The checkout-free shopping experience is enabled by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion and deep learning.”

28. What is the advantage of Amazon Go over regular grocery stores?

A. Store size. B. Shopping speed.

C. Product price. D. Parking convenience.

29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. Why to download the store’s App.

B. How to open an Amazon account.

C. How to shop at Amazon Go.

D. What to buy at Amazon Go.

30. What can we infer from paragraph 3?




第4頁,共8頁

A. People can shop and eat at Amazon Go.

B. Chefs will offer on-site cooking lessons.

C. 1,800 square feet is the best size of grocery stores.

D. Amazon spent years improving its service.

31. What makes possible the checkout-free shopping experience?

A. High-technology products. B. The help of the car industry.

C. The deep learning method. D. Teamwork by Amazon staff.


D

No doubt that humans have widely changed, developed, and exploited (開發(fā)) much of the natural world for our own ends. But how much of the land surface remains free of our often-harmful influence?

In a new study, scientists compared figures from four different sets of data using different kinds of methods and classification ( 分類 ) systems to answer this question. On average, the researchers say roughly half (48 to 56 percent) of the world’s land shows “l(fā)ow” influence of humans. While the figures may inspire many — stressing the vast expanse of significantly untouched lands that can still be protected through conservation measures — the study also shows just how much of the Earth has already been occupied and used by humans.

In fact, only about a quarter (20 to 34 percent) of the planet’s ice-free land surface shows “very low” signs of human influence, the researchers say, and the parts of the planet that we have left alone up until now constitute (構成) some of the least livable places on Earth. In other words, whether through urbanization, forestry, agriculture or other means, humans have applied the most influence on biodiverse land that presented ripe and easy opportunities for immediate human needs; in contrast, roasting deserts in the world’s hottest places, or frozen wastelands in its coldest spots, have been ignored.

Even so, the researchers say the results shown here give us a strong, clear marker that we can use to help structure existing and future conservation efforts by preventing disturbance on existing low influenced areas, meanwhile, recovering areas for conservation in land that has already been exploited too much.

“The encouraging takeaway from this study is that if we act quickly and decisively (果斷地)，there is a slim window in which we can still conserve roughly half of the Earth’s land in a relatively untouched state,” says biologist and lead author of the study, Jason Riggio. There’s a chance, right now, to draw a line in the sand, and say “no more”.

32. Why was the new study carried out?

A. To find out why humans exploit nature.

B. To figure out the land free from human influence.

C. To prove humans are harmful to nature.

D. To clarify the Earth is not occupied by humans completely.

33. Which places are influenced most by humans?

A. Woodless lands. B. Ice-free lands.

C. Places with biodiversity. D. Places with warmth.

34. What can we do based on the research?

A. Make use of the unlivable area through different means.



第5頁,共8頁

B. Remove the influence on the previous disturbed area.

C. Attempt to have no bad effect on the “untouched” land.

D. Reconstruct the overexploited land with forest and agriculture.

35. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the untouched land?

A. It should be urbanized immediately.

B. It should be covered with plants.

C. It should be free from humans and animals.

D. It should be undisturbed and preserved.

第二節(jié) （共 5 小題；每小題 2 分，滿分 10 分）

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Have you ever travelled somewhere without noticing the route you took or the people and

landmarks you passed? 36 A lot of us run around on autopilot (自動駕駛), which means we do things without being aware that we’re doing them, lost in our thoughts instead.

Mindfulness is about training the mind to be in the present moment — to be more aware of what is happening now, rather than what has already happened or what might happen next.

37 Mindfulness can be traced back to the religion of Buddhism but it’s now practiced by people of all religions, as well as people who don’t follow any religion.
38 Becoming more aware of the present can help us enjoy the world around us. It encourages us to appreciate things we might take for granted. According to the University of Oxford Mindfulness Research Centre, mindfulness can teach us to spot difficult emotions and

thoughts and deal with them more easily. 39


An important part of mindfulness is tuning in to the five senses — being aware of what you can see, hear, touch, smell and taste. You can try this throughout the day — for example, when going for a walk or eating your dinner. 40 Mindfulness requires practice, and lots of people find that sitting quietly and focusing on their breathing helps.


A. It is about observing our thoughts, feelings and surroundings.

B. These are the only ways to help us stay focused on the present.

C. Maybe you’ve swallowed your breakfast without noticing what it tastes like.

D. Mindfulness can improve our concentration, relationships and mental health.

E. We can choose to set aside our worries and concerns that aren’t helpful to us.

F. Despite these emotional benefits, mindfulness sometimes leads to physical harms.

G. Activities that require you to use your hands can also help you become more mindful.

for Nikic to become one step closer to his

no
dream or goal is too high.”











Nikic isn’t
57
there. “Goal set and achieved. Time to set a new and bigger goal for
2023!” the
