And in Asia, there is no better place to find it than Osaka. In a recent survey of "liveability" in Asian cities （which include those in Oceania） by The Economist Intelligence Unit （ EIU） , Japan's second largest city Osaka ranked first, together with Melbourne from Australia. With 7 cities in total making the top ten, Japan and Australia dominated the upper reaches of the index. The ETU's global index ranks living conditions in 172 cities across the world. The firm judges each city on a broad range of measures in five categories: culture and environment, education, health care, infrastructure （基础and stability. On average, Asian cities achieved a score of 69 in 2022, compared with 91 for cities in Western Europe and 88 for North American ones.

As a result t Auckland, which topped the worldwide index in 2021, fell by 33 places. The average score of the cities improved by about 4. 5 points on last year. The biggest gains were in the culture and environment category, thanks to the recovery of cultural and sporting activities that had been stopped by earlier Covid restrictions. 2L According to the map, how many Australian cities ranked among top 10 in 2022?

B Kenneth Grahame was a Scottish writer, most famous for The Wind in the Willows (1908) and The Reluctant Dragon (1898) , both later adapted for stage and film. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 8th March, 1859, Grahame grew up with his grandma Ingle, spending the childhood in idyllic countryside, particularly Quarry Wood and the River Thames, which are believed to have inspired the setting for The Wind in the Willows. In 1879, Grahame obtained a position with the Bank of England in London. During his early career 9 Grahame began to write in the evenings and published a number of works during the 1890s, including a collection of essays and two collections of short stories. All of these achieved both commercial and critical success. Kenneth Grahame married Elspeth Thomson in 1899. They had only one child, a boy named Alastair, who was born blind in one eye and suffered from health problems throughout his short life. Grahame retired from the bank in 1907 and moved with his family to the countryside. This gave him time to travel and concentrate on his writing efforts. Grahame produced bedtime stories that he told Alastair and turned into The Wind in. the Willows f his best-known work. Grahame took his son for inspiration, and the wayward and headstrong nature he saw in his boy Alastair (also known by the nickname "Mouse") was transformed into Mr, Toad. 英培试頭第4页（共12•页） Despite the book's success, Grahame never attempted to write a follow-up—largely due to personal tragedy. In 1920, Alastair died of an accident just two days before his twentieth birthday. Grahame was profoundly grieved. When he died, he was buried side by side with his son in the same grave. His epitaph （碑文）reads: "To the beautiful memory of Kenneth Grahame, who passed the river on the 6th of July, 1932, leaving childhood and literature through him the more blessed for all time." 24.

Romantic comedy. 26. How can we describe Grahame as a father? A. Loving. B. Protective. C. Severe. D. Inflexible. 27. What does Grahame’s epitaph tell us? A. Grahame finally achieved his goal. B. Grahame died when crossing a river. C. Grahame had a blessed life and career. D. Grahame left us a rich literary heritage. C Vanilla （香草）is one of the world's most popular spices and an important ingredient in products ranging from chocolate to perfume. However, the wholesale price of vanilla has reached up to $ 600 per kilogram, when just a few years ago it was sold at tenth of that. What is happening? Madagascar supplies more than 80% of the world's natural vanilla. Today, vanilla represents 20% of Madagascan exports, worth around $600 million at current prices. However, it is a difficult crop to grow. A vine takes three to four years to mature. The flowers open for just one day a year, so pollination （授粉）is done completely by hand. Nine months later, the green beans must be hand-picked when perfectly ripe to get their content. Months of processing and gradual drying in the sun are then necessary to produce the spice. Six hundred hand-pollinated blossoms yield six kilos of green beans, which can turn into one kilo of dried beans. The price of Madagascan vanilla was once set by the government. But such were the high prices that in the 1980s buyers turned their attention to the cheaper, poorer-quality version available elsewhere T in particular Indonesia. Madagascar's government was finally forced to end its price-fixing policy. Food giants such as Nestle and Unilever increased their use of man-made vanilla, adding to the pressure. For 30 years, Madagascar's vanilla farmers earned just a small amount of money, and many ended up leaving the business. But even with fewer producers, the price of natural vanilla stayed low. It was not until public tastes started shifting to all things natural that farmers, fortunes revived. From around 2011, some producers began to focus once more on natural vanilla. In 2015, Nestle announced plans to use only natural ingredients in five years and Hershey's followed suit. Its demand and prices have therefore rocketed in part because natural supplies are insufficient. 28・ How did the author illustrate his point in Paragraph 2? A. By explaining studies. B. By analyzing phenomena. C. By listing figures. D. By making comparisons. 29. Why did Madagascan government stop its price-fixing policy? A. Vanilla itself takes rather a long time to mature and bloom. B. Fewer buyers chose Madagascan vanilla due to its high price. C. The pollination and harvest of vanilla require too much labor. D- Many vanilla farmers left the business to seek fortune in Indonesia. 30. Which chart best shows the price trend of Madagascan vanilla? 31. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. The cost of making vanilla spice. C. The truth behind the price of vanilla. B. The international vanilla business. D. The process of planting natural vanilla. D For the past five years, I have worked in strategic roles in advertising. During my work, I challenged the difficulties in creating an ad that would be relevant to the brand, match its core values, and would also target appropriately consumers with a strong consumer insight. When I contribute to a successful campaign that matches all of the above, what I get is sheer bliss. In this sense, I love advertising. Nevertheless, I am aware advertising has its gray areas. In many cases, advertisers focus on few features that can distinguish them from the competition, while presenting an incomplete picture of the product. For example,a snack brand can focus on the taste claim and ignore any clear reference to nutritional values and calories of the product. In other cases, advertisers claim superiority by using survey findings that do not agree with consumers’ common sense. Recently, a new Cola was introduced by a major Israeli company, claiming its Cola tastes better than the traditional Coca-Cola, Although such claim is possible, it is highly unlikely that a private-label Cola will be able to better suit the Israeli taste, since Coca-Cola dominates the Israeli Cola market for decades with over 90% market share. Yet, as a marketer, I understand we must be aggressive to put our products in consumers' consideration set. From a consumers standpoint, however, I have a contradictory attitude towards ads. I have some strong relationships with brands I encounter on a regular basis. I adore the design and innovation of Nespresso. I already replaced 4 iPhone models during the last decade and never bought a basketball shoe which is not a Nike shoe. When these brands advertise, I am open to hear about new products and watch ads. Consequently , I am willing to pay more or purchase more expensive products. Meanwhile, getting used to certain brands makes me less willing to try new ones. When I experience a brand that does not meet my expectations as my usual choices do, I feel like I made a wrong decision. Moreover, the bad experience increases my skepticism towards new brands. Overall, I admire the efforts made by us advertisers to increase sales. However, my true desire as a consumer is to minimize my exposure to irrelevant ads as much as possible. 32. What does the underlined expression “sheer bliss”in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Pure happiness. B. Deep worry. C. A heavy burden. D. A great chance. 33. The "grey areas’’ of ads result from the fact that A. most products only have a few features B. the legal boundaries of ads are undefined C. the truth of the products is partially presented D. most ads confuse their products with their rivals’ 34・ What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A, The author was inspired by the design of Nespresso. B. The author has never been bothered by high price. C. The author is loyal to certain brands. D. The author likes watching ads. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Why Ads Are Misleading B. Why I Love and Hate Ads C. What Made Ads So Annoying D. What Made a Household Brand 第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lifelong learning is a voluntary and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for not only personal but professional reasons as well. 36 ・ Such contexts include not only schools or other formal educational institutes but also homes, workplaces, and even locations where people pursue leisure activities. How to adopt lifelong learning in your life? 1. Recognize your own personal interests and goals 37 ・ Reflect on what you're passionate about and what you envision for your own future. If progressing your career is your personal interest, then there are ways to participate in selfdirected learning to accomplish this goal. If learning history is your passion, there are likewise ways to explore this interest further. 2. Make a list of what you would like to achieve Once you've identified what motivates you, explore what it is about that particular interest or goal that you want to achieve. Returning to our example of someone having a passion for history, perhaps it is to simply expand knowledge on the history of Europe. 38 . Both of these are different levels of interest involving different ways of learning. 3. Structure the learning goal into your life Fitting a new learning goal into your busy life takes consideration and effort. 39 . Plan out how the requirements of the new learning initiative can fit into your life or what you need to do to make it fit. Understanding the time and space you can devot
