with a single bar through the center of the letter that indicates your choice.

Passage One

Rows of new school desks equipped with bike pedals (踏板) are allowing

students in Mexico to power through their class work while doing some light

exercise, burning off calories in a country known for its alarming obesity rates.

But for the students at a high school just outside the bustling city of

Monterrey, the new bike desks offer benefits beyond exercise.

“When we're physically active it also helps keep us focused,” said 13-year-old

Reimy Rodriguez, in her first year at Public High School 24. “It's actually

incredible.”

A third of all Mexicans are obese and as children age, many pack on the

pounds. A recent national study showed about 8% of children under 5 were

overweight or obese, which rises to almost 19% for kids between 5-11 years old.

Sanjuanita Garcia, the school's principal, points to the bike desks'

post-pandemic benefits, especially for boys more vulnerable to excessive weight

gain.

The school currently features two classrooms fully decked out with the new

desks, but the plan is to gradually add them to all 21 classrooms.

Large amounts of excess body weight during early years poses numerous

dangers to children’s health, including increased risk of diabetes, high blood

pressure, bone and joint problems, and asthma.

2023年学士学位（河北）英语试卷第4页共16页

obesity in adulthood is known to contribute to strokes, heart disease, and

dementia.

A. Besides burning off calories, the new desks help to keep students focused.

B. All schools in Mexico have been equipped with new bikes.

Paragraph 5?

A. easier to gain excessive weight

B. sensitive to the fact of gaining weight

C. gaining weight voluntarily

D. urgent to gain weight

13. Obesity in adulthood may cause the following illness EXCEPT________.

A. Stroke

B. Low blood pressure

C. Bike Desks Help Mexican Students Learn While Burning Calories

D. Alarming Obesity Rates, How Will Mexicans Solve It?

Passage Two

There are many good reasons to continue to explore space. But in space

exploration the “real reasons” - that are the most important - are as follows.

First, most of us want to be, both as individuals and as societies, the first or

the best in some activity. We want to stand out. This behavior is rooted in our

genes. We are today the descendants(后代) of people who survived by

outperforming others.

A second reason is curiosity. Who among us has not had the desire to know

what's over the next hill? What child has not been drawn to explore the

unfamiliar places beyond the neighborhood?

Finally, we humans have, since the earliest civilizations, built monuments(纪念碑). We want to leave something behind to show the next generation, or the

generations after that, what we did with our time here. This is why cathedrals (大教堂), pyramids (金字塔) , art galleries and museums have been built.

Cathedral builders would understand what I mean by real reasons. The

monuments they built required a far greater percentage of their gross domestic

product (国内生产总值) than we will ever put into the space business, but we

look back across 600 or 800 years of time, and we are still awed (敬畏的) by what

the builders accomplished. Those buildings, therefore, also stand monuments to

the builders.

The return the cathedral builders made on their investment could not have

been summarized in a cost/benefit analysis. They gained societal advantages that

were probably even more important than learning how to build walls and roofs.

The people who started the cathedrals didn’t live to finish them. The society as a

whole had to be dedicated to the completion of those projects.

16. What kind of behavior is rooted in our genes according to the passage?

A. Making money.

B. Finding other lives in space.

C. Looking for another suitable planet.

2023年学士学位（河北）英语试卷第6页共16页

D. Surpassing others.

17. What does it illustrate that the child is drawn to explore the unfamiliar places?

A. Humans are curious.

B. Humans want to leave something for next generations.

C. Humans want to excel.

D. Humans have a constancy of purpose.

18. Which of the following can NOT be regarded as a monument according to the

passage?

A. Art galleries.

B. Museums.

C. Parks.

D. Pyramids.

19. What's the meaning of the sentence “Those buildings, therefore, also stand

monuments to the builders.”?

A. It requires a great percentage of GDP.

B. It can stand for hundreds of years.

C. It serves as a symbol of power.

D. It represents the builders’ accomplishments.

20. What can be gained from building monuments or cathedrals?

A. Increase in GDP.

B. Gains of societal advantage.

C. Economic returns.

D. More investment in space exploration.

Passage Three

With buying power rising among young, heritage-minded consumers,

domestic cosmetics brands are winning hearts with guochao - a trend that is

seeing younger buyers drawn to products with Chinese cultural elements.

In one case, brands are embracing solar term or jieqi, a concept based on

2023年学士学位（河北）英语试卷第7页共16页

China's ancient calendar, incorporating elements of lunar and solar calendars,

which divides the year into 24 periods. This type of marketing is used to inject a

sense of nature into beauty routines.

Grain Rain, a Chinese skincare brand, is inspired by the sixth solar term, guyu,

referring to early crops, which starts around April 20. It was accompanied by a

spring-inspired marketing campaign represented by actress Zhou Dongyu in April

2022. It uses the solar term's traditional association with picking herbs to

reinforce the label's herbal skincare branding.

Generation Z - those born from the mid-to-late 1990s and into the 2000s and

a major consumer group - is being affected by the country's cultural renaissance

and the development of the internet. They are more independent in their choices

and have a greater sense of national identity, experts said.

With the rise of guochao, and the influence of the expansion of China's

manufacturing ability, consumers are showing an increased preference for

domestic cosmetics brands, according to a recent report issued by consulting firm

Ernst & Young. Although China's high-end cosmetics market has been dominated

for a number of years by international brands, the market influence of

homegrown brands has been rapidly rising.

In China's third-tier and smaller cities, the penetration rate of domestic

cosmetics surpasses 90 percent, and the growth rate of lip balm and lipstick sales

has been over 60 percent for two consecutive years, according to a report

launched by Juhuasuan, the group-buying arm of e-commerce giant Alibaba.

21. Which of the following is similar to the word “drawn” in the first paragraph?

A. painted

B. attracted

C. pulled

D. pushed

22. How many solar terms are there in China?

A. 20

B. 22

C. 24

2023年学士学位（河北）英语试卷第8页共16页

D. 12

23. Which of the following is NOT correct?

A. Grain Rain is a domestic cosmetic brand.

B. The brand Grain Rain was created in April 2022.

C. Zhou Dongyu does not like herbal skincare branding.

D. Grain Rain starts around April 20.

24. Which of the following statements is true?

A. More and more Chinese consumers prefers international brands to domestic

brands.

B. China’s high-end cosmetics market has been occupied by international brands

for years.

C. Generation Z are more likely to be influenced by others when choosing

cosmetics.

D. The market influence of homegrown brands has been steady in China.

25. What does the word “surpass” mean in the last paragraph?

A. come across

B. pass by

C. go across

D. exceed

Passage Four

I have become obsessed (着迷) with the idea that people can live the lives

they want instead of the lives they have. I have been examining the disconnect

(脱节) between where people say they want to be and where they are. We work

toward achieving those things that we want, whether it is better health and

fitness, a car, a house or a great relationship. However, too many of us are settling

for less than we want, since we have been taught to believe that “making a living”

takes precedence over (优先于) life.

I work with individuals who find themselves at a career crossroads. Many of

them are mid-level, mid-career professionals. They have been working in one type

2023年学士学位（河北）英语试卷第9页共16页

of job or career for a while, and now that job or career no longer makes them

happy. They have a feeling that there must be "something else out there” for

them, but they don’t know what it is.

My experience is that mid-career professionals are looking for work that has

meaning and value. They want to feel that what they do in the course of their

work will leave some sort of imprint (印记) on the world.

I know a lot of people want to think they don't have a choice. They believe

they are victims (受害者) of circumstances beyond their control. They are not. No

one is a victim of circumstance unless they choose to be. But you get to choose

how you look at your life and your aspirations. I can't tell you what your dream

job is or what your dreams might look like. I can tell you that you owe it to

yourself to consider that it is possible for you.

So, consider: What do you really want in your life? Is it possible to live the life

of your dreams? I maintain that it is. Do you have to settle for less than you want

or deserve? Do you want to make a life instead of just eking out a living (勉强度日)? You can, but only if you want to. You get to choose.

26. Why are so many people settling for less than they want?

A. Because hope keeps them going.

B. Because there is always a disconnect between where people say they want to

be and where they are.

C. Because they believe “making a living” takes precedence over life.

D. Because they are not struggling hard enough.

’s happening to those mid-level, mid-career professionals at career

crossroads?

A. They stop feeling happy any more.

B. They feel “something else out there” for them.

C. They know clearly what they are pursuing

D. They need to find more challenges.

28. What's missing for the mid-career professionals?

A. Work that has meaning and value.

2023年学士学位（河北）英语试卷第10页共16页

B. Experience that can benefit the organization.

C. Partners that will be appreciated.

D. Company that makes people feel validated

29. If you are struggling with what you want in your work, you should________.

A. look for an advisor

B. discuss it with your friends

C. remember you can always choose

D. listen to your heart

30. To those who think they don’t have a choice, the author's advice is________.

A. that they are victims of circumstances

B. that it's up to them to decide their lives

C. that something is just out of control

D. that they should eke out a living

Part IV Cloze Test (10 minutes, 10 points)

Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each numbered

blank, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark

your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the

letter that indicates your choice.

A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted the first study to evaluate

how the duration of nightly sleep early in the semester affects first year college

students end-of-semester grade point average (GPA). Using Fitbit sleep trackers,

2023年学士学位（河北）英语试卷第13页共16页

they found that students on 51 sleep 6.5 hours a night, but 52

outcomes accumulate when students received less than six hours of sleep a night.

The results are 53 in the Feb. 13 issue of the Proceedings of the National

Academy of Sciences.

Sleep guidelines 54 teenagers get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night.

Many college students experience irregular and insufficient sleep.

David Creswell, the William S. Dietrich II Professor in Psychology and

Neuroscience at the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, led a

team of researchers to 55 the relationship between sleep and GPA. College

students often push themselves to achieve.

“Animal studies have shown how critical sleep is for learning and memory,”

said Creswell. "Here we show how this work translates 56 humans. The less

nightly sleep a first-year college student gets at the beginning of the school term

predicts lower GPA at the end of the term. Lack of sleep may be hurting students’

ability to learn in their college classrooms.”

The study evaluated more than 600 first-year students across five studies at

three universities. The students wore wrist Fitbit devices to monitor and record

their sleep 57 . The researchers found that students in the study sleep on

average 6.5 hours a night.

More surprisingly, the researchers found that students who receive 58

six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced decline in academic performance.

59 , each hour of sleep lost corresponded to a 0.07 decrease in end-of-term GPA.

“Once you start dipping below six hours, you are starting to accumulate

massive sleep debt that can impair a student’s health and study habits,

compromising the whole system,” said Creswell. “Most surprising to me was that

no matter 60 we did to make the effect go away, it persisted.”

51. A. average B. whole C. purpose D. schedule

52. A. positive B. negative C. promising D. biased

53. A. conspicuous B. available C. printing D. confirmed

54. A. research B. find C. recommend D. require

55. A. connect B. evaluate C. exam D. forecast

56. A. from B. toward C. with D. to

Part V Translation (25 minutes, 15 points)

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your

translation on the ANSWER SHEET.

Learning is something we do our entire lives. I took up learning a foreign

language well into my 30s, which has made me rediscover the joys and challenges

of learning. I have studied the language for a few years now, but I have never

studied using a textbook or by doing homework and exercises. I know this is the

tried and tested method for the vast majority of language learners, but it is just

not an appropriate way for me. I learn the language by chatting and listening,

making mistakes, carrying on, making the same mistakes again, and at some point,

subconsciously the mistake remedies itself somehow. This way of learning has

allowed me to express myself with far more clarity, ingenuity, and personalization

than any textbook could ever have.

学习是我们一生都在做的事情。我在三十好几的年纪才开始学习一门外语，这让我重新发现了学习的乐趣和挑战。现在，这门语言我已经学了几年，但我从没用过教科书，从没写过作业和练习。我知道对于绝大多数的语言学习者来说，这是一个久经考验的方法，但是这种方法不适合我。我的学习方法是通过跟人聊天，听人说，犯错，继续聊，再犯同样的错误，继续聊，然后在某个时候，不知不觉地，错误就自我纠正了。这种学习方式使我能够以比任何教科书都要清晰、巧妙和个性化地表达自己。
