A new guidebook showcasing Hainan, China's southernmost province, to English-speaking readers was launched on Sept. 9 at The Commercial Press head office in Beijing.
Produced by the award-winning international team of writers and editors behind The World of Chinese, this book Hainan: Jade Cliffs to Ocean Paradise dives deep into the natural, cultural and humanistic sides of an island lately associated with retirees and real estate.
"Most travel guides stop at telling you where and how to visit," said Chu Dandan, chief editor of The World of Chinese, at the book's launch event. "Our book tells you why you should visit." What moves readers are "more than just sea and coconuts," Chu said, "but the people and the stories in between."
From Hainan's famous beach resorts to its backcountry interior, the book's writers went across the province in search of little-told tales—trekking(跋涉) up its primeval(原始的) hills and through its rainforests, sipping tea and coffee with locals, visiting the homes of fishermen and ethnic minorities and discovering the passions of marine archaeologists, conservationists and surfers.
These personal experiences and first-hand conversations are reflected in each of the book's chapters on Hainan's ecology, history, culture, leisure, food, sports and economy. These topics are then brought to life by original photographs, hand-drawn maps, interviews with native authors and scholars and profiles on colorful individuals and communities.
"One of the things I was not expecting to find was a quaint little fishing village. Inevitably, modem elements permeate the beauty of ancient elegance. The village has been quietly half-occupied by a growing modem surfing community," Sam Davies, one of the writers, told the audience about visiting the village of Houhai in Sanya.
"I was able to talk to some locals and others about how the village has changed, what it has meant for people's lives, and how surfing is just starting to develop in China," Davies said.
"Our aim is to create something that will go far," Gu Qing, general secretary of The Commercial Press, said at the book launch. "I believe Hainan's development will exceed even the predictions in this book, and we hope this book and Hainan will go out into the world together."

As a self-described military brat (小家伙), Kathryn Miller has always loved the armed forces. In the summer of 2020, Miller teamed up with her friend Kailyn Rowland to create a documentary for National History Day, a nonprofit organization that holds an annual contest for students. Their documentary, Women at West Point: Breaking Barriers of the Long Gray Line, tells the story of the first women who graduated from West Point in 1980.
In March, Miller and Rowland were announced to have been selected for a Special Recognition of Champions Award as “individuals who have made exceptional contributions to women in the Army” “What we did was never for an award or for recognition; it was about sharing the story of these women, so to receive the award was really special,” Miller said.
Miller and Rowland spent countless hours working on their documentary, reaching out to the 62 women of the class of 1980 and interviewing more than 25 percent of them. “This was hours and hours of research and interviews,” Miller said. “We did Face Times with the women, we met in person, we called them, and so we had so much information, so many news articles going back 40 years. “Miller, whose mom was a veteran (老兵) and dad was a teacher at the United States Military Academy, lived in West Point as a child. “I always saw female cadets (学员), and it always seemed like, ‘Oh, boys and girls, that’s completely normal, ‘so it was such a shock to me when I realized that girls didn’t always have that opportunity. “While making this documentary, Miller also realized her love for sharing other people’s stories. “I came to realize how much power there is in getting the story right, “she said, “And we were able to experience the gratitude from these women for sharing their stories and showing them that the younger generation really appreciates the doors they opened for us.

If you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing, T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets. A new trend is taking hold in China-guochao or "China-chic".
According to a recently published report, searches related to guochao on Dianping, a lifestyle information platform, have risen by 170 percent from the same period last year, and reviews have risen by nearly 40 percent. China-chic is happening, but what is it
The term characterizes the rise of China's native fashion trends. It has expanded the concept of "Made in China", which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics（审美）offered by homegrown Chinese brands, according to CGTN.
China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018.Before that, big-name foreign companies dominated the world market. To win market share, many Chinese brands followed in the footsteps of these Western brands. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad.
The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. "We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share," Shen Qinfeng, the company's marketing manager, told People's Daily.
Now, the guochao trend is "moving to the next stage", where its success will rely, first and foremost on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western validation, according to Kerra Zhou, founder or brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma.
"No matter how the guochao trend evolves, there's one thing that won't change：Behind the craze is people's positive attitude toward the country's development and their recognition of and growing confidence in national culture," said Yao Linqing, a professor in the School of Economics and Management at Communication University of China.
8.What makes Li-Ning so fashionable
A.Its successful market strategy similar to Western brands.
B.Its trendy look similar to Western brands.
C.Its elements of traditional Chinese culture.
D.Chic and unique clothes styles.
9.Why did the author mention "White Rabbit" in paragraph 5
A.Because White Rabbit reminded the author of his or her childhood.
B.Because the author helped White Rabbit promote new products.
C.Because White Rabbit was a good example for showing the guochao trend.
D.Because this traditional brand was on the decline.
10.What does the secret to the success of the guochao
A.Increasing confidence in Chinese culture.
B.Excellent design skills.
C.Clothes of great quality.
D.Styles catering to people abroad.
11.What is the author’s attitude to the future of the guochao trend
A.Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious.
D
The first model of Apple’s iPhone was launched in June 2007. Since then, many different smartphones have been introduced. The devices now influence our daily lives in many ways. One thing that has changed is that many people now use their phones to easily take pictures without the need for a camera. Not surprisingly, this change has caused major business problems for camera manufacturers.
Of course, the camera built into the first iPhone 15 years ago did not include a high-quality camera able to compete with separate camera models. But over the years, smartphone makers have invested heavily in research and development to change that. Today, many smartphones have high-quality cameras designed to produce better pictures. And most phone devices also offer powerful tools to improve the quality of the pictures we take.
Japan’s Camera & Tmaging Products Association (CIPA) said the digital camera market continually expanded starting in 1999. It experienced its first decrease in 2009—and continued to fall thereafter. The biggest change appeared from 2010 to 2020, when worldwide camera shipments fell about 93 percent, CIPA reported. The decreases were mainly caused by drops in shipments of digital cameras that have built-in lenses.
However, camera makers have had more success selling digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. This is because these cameras are generally targeted at professional photographers who demand higher quality. Such cameras can produce “high image quality that distinguishes them from smartphones,” CIPA said.
But this does not mean that professional photographers never use smartphones to capture pictures. Brynn Anderson is based with the AP in Atlanta, Georgia. She said: “Sometimes being a photographer with a larger camera can be intimidating to the person being photographed. Using a phone makes it easier for me to get comfortable moments that might not happen otherwise.” Rodrigo Abd, an AP photographer in Buenos Aires, Argentina says using the iPhone makes it easier for him “to always be attentive” to everyday events when not covering a news story. Oded Balilty is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. “It is definitely an alternative tool,” he said of the iPhone. But he added: “It’s the photographer not the device, that determines the quality of a photo.”
12.What is the potential cause of the first decrease of digital cameras in 2009
A.Less money was invested to improve digital cameras.
B.Cameras had been built into smartphones and improved.
C.Fewer digital cameras with built-in lenses were produced
D.The digital camera market stopped promoting new products.
13.Why do digital cameras with interchangeable lenses enjoy good sales.
A.They are more affordable.
B.They have superb shooting quality.
C.They offer the power to beautify photos.
D.They are specially designed for professionals.
14.What does the underlined word “intimidating ” in the last paragraph probably pean
A.Amusing. B.Demanding. C.Rewarding. D.Scaring.
15.What does Oded Balilty mean
A.The level of the photographer depends on the iPhone.
B.The iPhone completely replaces his professional tool.
C.The professional skills of the photographer is crucial.
D.The iPhone enables him to work at any time and place.

It was thought that Microbes（细菌）in sediments — solid material that settles at the bottom of a liquid beneath the seafloor died above 80°C, but scientists have found some that can survive up to 120°C and possibly higher temperatures. The discovery shows that life in seafloor sediments can survive higher temperatures than previously thought.
"I would think that wherever there's energy that can be exploited by microorganisms, 21 find(s) a way." says Tina Treude at the University of California, Los Angeles. It is possible that there is life at even higher temperatures. "The only way to find out is to go back and 22 deeper," she says, though in lab experiments so far, no microbes have been found to grow above 122°C.
The researchers were also able to 23 out and count cells using a special device. Together, the findings show that relatively few cells survive at these temperatures, but those that do have very high metabolic(新陈代谢的) rates. "It was astonishingly high," says Treude.
This surprised the team because it is the 24 of what has been found in shallower sediments, where it is much colder. Microbes are 25 there, but their metabolisms are extremely slow and individual microbes might live for millions of years. At 120°C，the heat is doing a lot of damage to cells, so microbes may need high metabolisms to generate enough energy to repair this damage. It is a(n) 26 to stay alive, says Treude.
It isn't clear what these heat-loving, or thermophilic, microbes are, as the team was unable to 27 their DNA. Nor is it clear how they came to be in the sediments, given that this would have been a very cold environment for a long time after the sediments that the samples came from were first 28 .
However, a few thermophilic microbes would have been present when the sediments were deposited, and they may have somehow 29 until temperatures began to rise due to being 30 under more material, says team member Felix Beulig at Aarhus University in Denmark.
As the temperatures rose, all the microbes that weren't 31 of heat would gradually have died off, says team member Florian Schubert at the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam. "The microbes that cannot 32 , they just die," he says.
Patrick Forterre at the Pasteur Institute in Paris says that while there are 33 results showing microbe growth at 106°C，nobody has been able to exactly copy the two lab studies claiming growth at 122°C. "It's very difficult to 34 the upper temperature limit," he says.
He is therefore 35 of the idea of microbes living normally at 120°C，but he does think it is possible that they could somehow survive and became active again at lower temperatures.
21.A. life B. energy C. bacteria D. voyage

47．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。
What started as a lonely graduation day for a teen in Alabama has turned into a priceless opportunity to bond with his teacher. Now, that teacher is working to get that student a car that will get him started in his adult life.
On Thursday, Bessemer City High School held its annual graduation ceremony. Dom Moore was one of the teachers involved in coordinating the event. After the ceremony ended, Dom was cleaning up. Nearly everybody had left to celebrate with friends and family, but one young man was still sitting there by himself. “I knew his moods and I knew he wasn't himself,” Dom said. Not knowing what to say at first, the teacher told him, "I expect big things from you and it's going to be OK.”
Dom assumed that someone would show up eventually to give the graduate a ride home. But nobody did. When Dom offered to drive him, the two had no idea that this was to be more than just a ride home. The teacher decided to take him out to eat-at any restaurant of his choice. They ended up at the Cheesecake Factory, and enjoyed a hearty meal and dessert to celebrate the graduate's achievement.
At first, the two were fighting back tears. But before long, they were having a great time together. Dom never asked why the boy's family did not attend the ceremony. What was important to him was that the young man felt appreciated for what he had accomplished. Later that evening, Dom took to Facebook to share a photo and some thoughts on the event. He says that he doesn't normally post about these situations, as they are all too common in his profession, but that something inside urged him to share this experience.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Actually, Dom wanted to help the young man.

第一节
A
1.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句"Most travel guides stop at telling you where and how to visit," said Chu Dandan, chief editor of The World of Chinese, at the book's launch event. "Our book tells you why you should visit."可知,《海岛天堂》这本书与大部分旅游指南的不同在于它们只告诉读者去哪里旅行以及怎样旅行,而这本书却告诉读者为什么要去海南旅行。故选C项。
2.答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后的Inevitably, modern elements permeate the beauty of ancient elegance. The village has been quietly half-occupied by a growing modern surfing community可知,小渔村的古雅之美也充满了现代元素,一半已经悄无声息地被一个日益壮大的现代化冲浪团体占据。由此可推知, quaint的含义应与后文modern的含义相反,和ancient的含义相近,意为"古老的",故选A项。

"We did Face Times with the women, we met in person, we called them, and so we had so much information, so many news articles going back 40 years."("我们和这些女性进行了面对面采访,我们亲自见面,我们给她们打电话,所以我们有很多信息,有很多40年前的新闻文章。")可知,本段主要讲的是凯瑟琳·米勒拍这个纪录片背后的努力,故选D。
6.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的"so it was such a shock to me when I realized that girls didn't always have that opportunity.(所以当我意识到女孩并不总是有这样的机会时,我感到非常震惊。)"可以推知,妇女过去很少有机会接受军事教育。故选B。
7.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的"What we did was never for an award or for recognition; it was about sharing the story of these women, so to receive the award was really special," Miller said.("我们所做的不是为了一个奖项或认可,而是为了分享这些女性的故事,所以能获得这个奖项真的很特别,"米勒说。)可知,凯瑟琳·米勒拍这个纪录片不是为了获奖,而只是为了分享这些女性的故事,可见她是一个有热诚的人。结合选项A.Passionate.充满激情的;B.Modest.谦虚的;C.Humorous.幽默的;D.Ambitious.雄心勃勃的。故选A。
C

11.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段，作者对国潮的未来持肯定态度。
D
12.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“But over the years, smartphone makers have invested heavily in research and development to change that. Today, many smartphones have high-quality cameras designed to produce better pictures. And most phone devices also offer powerful tools to improve the quality of the pictures we take.(但多年来,智能手机制造商在研发方面投入了大量资金,以改变这种状况。如今,许多智能手机都有高质量的摄像头,旨在拍摄更好的照片。大多数手机设备也提供强大的工具来提高我们拍摄的照片的质量)”可推知,2009年数码相机销量首次下降的潜在原因是智能手机内置了摄像头,并进行了改进。故选B。
13.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, camera makers have had more success selling digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. This is because these cameras are generally targeted at professional photographers who demand higher quality. Such cameras can produce ‘high image quality that distinguishes them from smartphones,’ CIPA said.(然而,相机制造商在销售可更换镜头的数码相机方面取得了更大的成功。这是因为这些相机一般都是针对对画质要求较高的专业摄影师。CIPA表示,这类相机可以产生“与智能手机不同的高画质”)”可知,可更换镜头的数码相机销量好是因为它们有高超的拍摄质量。故选B。
14.答案：D
解析：词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“Using a phone makes it easier for me to get comfortable moments that might not happen otherwise.(使用手机让我更容易获得舒服的时刻,否则这些时刻可能不会发生)”可知,使用手机更舒服,说明使用相机有时会让被拍照的人害怕,故画线词意思是“令人害怕的”。故选D。
15.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Oded Balilty is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. ‘It is definitely an alternative tool,’ he said of the iPhone. But he added: ‘It’s the photographer not the device, that determines the quality of a photo.’(Oded Balilty在以色列特拉维夫工作。“它绝对是一种替代工具,”他在谈到iPhone时说。但他补充说：“决定照片质量的是摄影师,而不是设备。”)”可推知,Oded Balilty意思是摄影师的专业技术很关键。故选C。
第二节 七选五
这是一篇说明文。博物馆是充满信息的中心，旨在启发和教育好奇的头脑。特别是对孩子来说，博物馆将他们引入未知的世界，激发他们的想象力，并为他们提供宝贵的学习经验。文章主要说明了博物馆对孩子带来的好处。
根据上文“Museums are centers filled with information designed to enlighten and educate the curious mind. Especially for children, museums introduce them to unknown worlds, inspire their imagination and provide them with valuable learning experiences. It's generally believed that museums only help fuel academic education.(博物馆是充满信息的中心，旨在启发和教育好奇的头脑。特别是对孩子来说，博物馆将他们引入未知的世界，激发他们的想象力，并为他们提供宝贵的学习经验。人们普遍认为博物馆只会促进学术教育)”以及下一段第一句“Museums offer children bigger connections and references to history than a traditional class.(博物馆为孩子们提供了比传统课堂更大的历史联系和参考)”可知，上文提到人们普遍认为博物馆只会促进学术教育，后文则说博物馆为孩子们提供了比传统课堂更大的历史联系和参考，可见博物馆除了促进学术教育，还可以提供其它方面的知识。
17. 根据上文“Museums offer children bigger connections and references to history than a traditional class. They play a huge role in impacting their historical knowledge and the innovation taking place before their eyes.(博物馆为孩子们提供了比传统课堂更大的历史联系和参考。他们在影响自己的历史知识和眼前发生的创新方面发挥着巨大的作用)” 可知，上文提到了博物馆可以给孩子提供历史联系，A选项中history对应上文中history。
18.根据后文“Individuals acquire values, knowledge, and skills that are not applicable to the only field but will aid them for a lifetime. A single visit to a museum near you will provide children with in-depth knowledge about different subjects that they can acquire slowly, for museums let you stay as long as you want.(个人获得的价值、知识和技能并不适用于唯一的领域，但会帮助他们一生。只要去附近的博物馆参观，孩子们就会对不同的主题有深入的了解，他们可以慢慢掌握，因为博物馆让你想待多久就待多久)”可知，后文提到了博物馆可以让孩子对个人获得的价值、知识和技能有深入的了解，这些都属于个人的、非正式的教育资源。故E选项“博物馆是促进非正式教育的资源集合”符合语境。
19.根据上文“Museums are well enough equipped to awaken curiosity in young minds, which in turn will lead to these children asking questions.(博物馆有足够的设备来唤醒年轻人的好奇心，这反过来会导致这些孩子问问题)”以及后文“Some of them might need a great deal of thought to answer and some of them might not have any answers at all. No matter what they asked, all of these questions must be equally encouraged and children must be given the confidence to find the answers to them on their own.(有些问题可能需要大量的思考才能回答，而有些问题可能根本就没有答案。无论他们问了什么，所有这些问题都必须得到同等的鼓励，必须给予孩子们自己找到答案的信心)”可知，本句是对孩子提出的问题是否能得到答案的说明，B选项中Some of these questions对应上文中questions。故B选项“这些问题中有一些可能马上就能得到答案”符合语境。
20.根据上文“Museums have the ability to leave its visitors in awe of the huge amount of information it holds. They provide inspiration to young children via its resources that leave them fascinated about the night sky and the solar system, the skeletons that keep them thinking about life before them, the artworks that arouse the creative mind, etc.(博物馆有能力让它的参观者对它所拥有的大量信息感到敬畏。他们通过其资源为孩子们提供灵感，让他们对夜空和太阳系着迷，让他们思考之前的生命的骨骼，激发创造性思维的艺术品，等等)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，应总结上文说明博物馆对孩子的作用：鼓励孩子们去梦想和探索。故C选项“总而言之，博物馆鼓励孩子们去梦想和探索”符合语境。

A new guidebook showcasing Hainan, China's southernmost province, to English-speaking readers was launched on Sept. 9 at The Commercial Press head office in Beijing.
Produced by the award-winning international team of writers and editors behind The World of Chinese, this book Hainan: Jade Cliffs to Ocean Paradise dives deep into the natural, cultural and humanistic sides of an island lately associated with retirees and real estate.
"Most travel guides stop at telling you where and how to visit," said Chu Dandan, chief editor of The World of Chinese, at the book's launch event. "Our book tells you why you should visit." What moves readers are "more than just sea and coconuts," Chu said, "but the people and the stories in between."
From Hainan's famous beach resorts to its backcountry interior, the book's writers went across the province in search of little-told tales—trekking(跋涉) up its primeval(原始的) hills and through its rainforests, sipping tea and coffee with locals, visiting the homes of fishermen and ethnic minorities and discovering the passions of marine archaeologists, conservationists and surfers.
These personal experiences and first-hand conversations are reflected in each of the book's chapters on Hainan's ecology, history, culture, leisure, food, sports and economy. These topics are then brought to life by original photographs, hand-drawn maps, interviews with native authors and scholars and profiles on colorful individuals and communities.
"One of the things I was not expecting to find was a quaint little fishing village. Inevitably, modem elements permeate the beauty of ancient elegance. The village has been quietly half-occupied by a growing modem surfing community," Sam Davies, one of the writers, told the audience about visiting the village of Houhai in Sanya.
"I was able to talk to some locals and others about how the village has changed, what it has meant for people's lives, and how surfing is just starting to develop in China," Davies said.
"Our aim is to create something that will go far," Gu Qing, general secretary of The Commercial Press, said at the book launch. "I believe Hainan's development will exceed even the predictions in this book, and we hope this book and Hainan will go out into the world together."

As a self-described military brat (小家伙), Kathryn Miller has always loved the armed forces. In the summer of 2020, Miller teamed up with her friend Kailyn Rowland to create a documentary for National History Day, a nonprofit organization that holds an annual contest for students. Their documentary, Women at West Point: Breaking Barriers of the Long Gray Line, tells the story of the first women who graduated from West Point in 1980.
In March, Miller and Rowland were announced to have been selected for a Special Recognition of Champions Award as “individuals who have made exceptional contributions to women in the Army” “What we did was never for an award or for recognition; it was about sharing the story of these women, so to receive the award was really special,” Miller said.
Miller and Rowland spent countless hours working on their documentary, reaching out to the 62 women of the class of 1980 and interviewing more than 25 percent of them. “This was hours and hours of research and interviews,” Miller said. “We did Face Times with the women, we met in person, we called them, and so we had so much information, so many news articles going back 40 years. “Miller, whose mom was a veteran (老兵) and dad was a teacher at the United States Military Academy, lived in West Point as a child. “I always saw female cadets (学员), and it always seemed like, ‘Oh, boys and girls, that’s completely normal, ‘so it was such a shock to me when I realized that girls didn’t always have that opportunity. “While making this documentary, Miller also realized her love for sharing other people’s stories. “I came to realize how much power there is in getting the story right, “she said, “And we were able to experience the gratitude from these women for sharing their stories and showing them that the younger generation really appreciates the doors they opened for us.
4.What’s Kathryn Miller’s purpose of creating the documentary

If you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing, T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets. A new trend is taking hold in China-guochao or "China-chic".
According to a recently published report, searches related to guochao on Dianping, a lifestyle information platform, have risen by 170 percent from the same period last year, and reviews have risen by nearly 40 percent. China-chic is happening, but what is it
The term characterizes the rise of China's native fashion trends. It has expanded the concept of "Made in China", which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics（审美）offered by homegrown Chinese brands, according to CGTN.
China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018.Before that, big-name foreign companies dominated the world market. To win market share, many Chinese brands followed in the footsteps of these Western brands. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad.
The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. "We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share," Shen Qinfeng, the company's marketing manager, told People's Daily.
Now, the guochao trend is "moving to the next stage", where its success will rely, first and foremost on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western validation, according to Kerra Zhou, founder or brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma.
"No matter how the guochao trend evolves, there's one thing that won't change：Behind the craze is people's positive attitude toward the country's development and their recognition of and growing confidence in national culture," said Yao Linqing, a professor in the School of Economics and Management at Communication University of China.
8.What makes Li-Ning so fashionable
A.Its successful market strategy similar to Western brands.
B.Its trendy look similar to Western brands.
C.Its elements of traditional Chinese culture.
D.Chic and unique clothes styles.
9.Why did the author mention "White Rabbit" in paragraph 5
A.Because White Rabbit reminded the author of his or her childhood.
B.Because the author helped White Rabbit promote new products.
C.Because White Rabbit was a good example for showing the guochao trend.
D.Because this traditional brand was on the decline.
10.What does the secret to the success of the guochao
A.Increasing confidence in Chinese culture.
B.Excellent design skills.
C.Clothes of great quality.
D.Styles catering to people abroad.
11.What is the author’s attitude to the future of the guochao trend
A.Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious.

The first model of Apple’s iPhone was launched in June 2007. Since then, many different smartphones have been introduced. The devices now influence our daily lives in many ways. One thing that has changed is that many people now use their phones to easily take pictures without the need for a camera. Not surprisingly, this change has caused major business problems for camera manufacturers.
Of course, the camera built into the first iPhone 15 years ago did not include a high-quality camera able to compete with separate camera models. But over the years, smartphone makers have invested heavily in research and development to change that. Today, many smartphones have high-quality cameras designed to produce better pictures. And most phone devices also offer powerful tools to improve the quality of the pictures we take.
Japan’s Camera & Tmaging Products Association (CIPA) said the digital camera market continually expanded starting in 1999. It experienced its first decrease in 2009—and continued to fall thereafter. The biggest change appeared from 2010 to 2020, when worldwide camera shipments fell about 93 percent, CIPA reported. The decreases were mainly caused by drops in shipments of digital cameras that have built-in lenses.
However, camera makers have had more success selling digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. This is because these cameras are generally targeted at professional photographers who demand higher quality. Such cameras can produce “high image quality that distinguishes them from smartphones,” CIPA said.
But this does not mean that professional photographers never use smartphones to capture pictures. Brynn Anderson is based with the AP in Atlanta, Georgia. She said: “Sometimes being a photographer with a larger camera can be intimidating to the person being photographed. Using a phone makes it easier for me to get comfortable moments that might not happen otherwise.” Rodrigo Abd, an AP photographer in Buenos Aires, Argentina says using the iPhone makes it easier for him “to always be attentive” to everyday events when not covering a news story. Oded Balilty is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. “It is definitely an alternative tool,” he said of the iPhone. But he added: “It’s the photographer not the device, that determines the quality of a photo.”
12.What is the potential cause of the first decrease of digital cameras in 2009
A.Less money was invested to improve digital cameras.
B.Cameras had been built into smartphones and improved.
C.Fewer digital cameras with built-in lenses were produced
D.The digital camera market stopped promoting new products.
13.Why do digital cameras with interchangeable lenses enjoy good sales.
A.They are more affordable.
B.They have superb shooting quality.
C.They offer the power to beautify photos.
D.They are specially designed for professionals.
14.What does the underlined word “intimidating ” in the last paragraph probably pean
A.Amusing. B.Demanding. C.Rewarding. D.Scaring.
15.What does Oded Balilty mean
A.The level of the photographer depends on the iPhone.
B.The iPhone completely replaces his professional tool.
C.The professional skills of the photographer is crucial.
D.The iPhone enables him to work at any time and place.

It was thought that Microbes（细菌）in sediments — solid material that settles at the bottom of a liquid beneath the seafloor died above 80°C, but scientists have found some that can survive up to 120°C and possibly higher temperatures. The discovery shows that life in seafloor sediments can survive higher temperatures than previously thought.
"I would think that wherever there's energy that can be exploited by microorganisms, 21 find(s) a way." says Tina Treude at the University of California, Los Angeles. It is possible that there is life at even higher temperatures. "The only way to find out is to go back and 22 deeper," she says, though in lab experiments so far, no microbes have been found to grow above 122°C.
The researchers were also able to 23 out and count cells using a special device. Together, the findings show that relatively few cells survive at these temperatures, but those that do have very high metabolic(新陈代谢的) rates. "It was astonishingly high," says Treude.
This surprised the team because it is the 24 of what has been found in shallower sediments, where it is much colder. Microbes are 25 there, but their metabolisms are extremely slow and individual microbes might live for millions of years. At 120°C，the heat is doing a lot of damage to cells, so microbes may need high metabolisms to generate enough energy to repair this damage. It is a(n) 26 to stay alive, says Treude.
It isn't clear what these heat-loving, or thermophilic, microbes are, as the team was unable to 27 their DNA. Nor is it clear how they came to be in the sediments, given that this would have been a very cold environment for a long time after the sediments that the samples came from were first 28 .
However, a few thermophilic microbes would have been present when the sediments were deposited, and they may have somehow 29 until temperatures began to rise due to being 30 under more material, says team member Felix Beulig at Aarhus University in Denmark.
As the temperatures rose, all the microbes that weren't 31 of heat would gradually have died off, says team member Florian Schubert at the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam. "The microbes that cannot 32 , they just die," he says.
Patrick Forterre at the Pasteur Institute in Paris says that while there are 33 results showing microbe growth at 106°C，nobody has been able to exactly copy the two lab studies claiming growth at 122°C. "It's very difficult to 34 the upper temperature limit," he says.
He is therefore 35 of the idea of microbes living normally at 120°C，but he does think it is possible that they could somehow survive and became active again at lower temperatures.

What started as a lonely graduation day for a teen in Alabama has turned into a priceless opportunity to bond with his teacher. Now, that teacher is working to get that student a car that will get him started in his adult life.
On Thursday, Bessemer City High School held its annual graduation ceremony. Dom Moore was one of the teachers involved in coordinating the event. After the ceremony ended, Dom was cleaning up. Nearly everybody had left to celebrate with friends and family, but one young man was still sitting there by himself. “I knew his moods and I knew he wasn't himself,” Dom said. Not knowing what to say at first, the teacher told him, "I expect big things from you and it's going to be OK.”
Dom assumed that someone would show up eventually to give the graduate a ride home. But nobody did. When Dom offered to drive him, the two had no idea that this was to be more than just a ride home. The teacher decided to take him out to eat-at any restaurant of his choice. They ended up at the Cheesecake Factory, and enjoyed a hearty meal and dessert to celebrate the graduate's achievement.
At first, the two were fighting back tears. But before long, they were having a great time together. Dom never asked why the boy's family did not attend the ceremony. What was important to him was that the young man felt appreciated for what he had accomplished. Later that evening, Dom took to Facebook to share a photo and some thoughts on the event. He says that he doesn't normally post about these situations, as they are all too common in his profession, but that something inside urged him to share this experience.
