My I have your passport and arrival card, please? M: Sure. Here you are. W: Could you please state the purpose of your visit and how long you plan to stay? Text2 W: Good morning, I'm calling about the job in this morning's paper. M: Well, could you tell me your name? W: Sophie Young. M: Oh yes. What exactly interests you about the job? Text 3 M: Happy birthday, Linda. Here is a present for you. W: Thank you very much. I can't believe that you still remember my birthday. Wow, it's a book. It's one of may favorite books. M: I'm very glad you like it. Text 4 W: Jim, which one should I buy? M: Oh, my goodness! You should hurry up. I' ll get a class in ten minutes. W: Sorry, I just wish the shop assistants didn't give me so many choices. M: It's none of their business. You should decide which one to buy quickly. Text 5 W: What are there in the fridge? Do we have enough for lunch? M: Oh, let me have a look. We have some fish, beef, eggs and some vegetables as well. W: Good, we can have some beef stew or fish soup. Which do you prefer? M: I'd like some soup. Text 6 W: Do you want to hang out tonight? My brother is having his friends over to watch the football game. I don't want to be there for it. M: You don't like football? W: I like playing it, but I hate watching it. I find it really boring. M: Do you have anything in mind? We could go ice skating. W: Yes! That's music to my ears. I will call you when I am out of work. I' ll need to go back home and get my ice skates, though. M:I will need to rent some. Maybe if we begin to go together a lot, I will buy a pair. Text 7 W: Excuse me? Hi, sorry, just a quick one. M: Yes, How can I help? Are you ready to pay? W: Well, it seems there is something wrong with the bill. We' ve been charged a little more than expected. M: Oh, goodness, sorry about that. Let me have a quick scan. What seems to be the problem? W: It's the spaghetti. I thought it was part of the special but it's been added on separately. M: Oh gosh, you' re absolutely right. Sorry for the mix- up. I do apologize. I' ll get that sorted straight away. Does everything else seem to be okay? Text 8 W:I have to say that you' re not quite what I expected. Usually in call you are very quiet. M: Well, I don't like to answer questions out loud. I prefer to listen and absorb the knowledge. W: Well, you should speak out more. I think your ideas very humorous. The way you described the math problem really makes sense to me. It made me laugh as well, so I would probably remember it better. M: Thanks. Maybe I will speak out more. In a class like Mr. Williams’s, I think it’s a bit more important to listen. There are a lot about old wars and government leaders that we need to memorize. Hopefully. My listening skills in this class will help us with our project. W: That's true. I suppose I do tall more in my English and P. E classes because they require different types of thinking. Test 9 W: Welcome back. My guest is Alan Cunningham, and he owns a specialty tea company in Beijing. So what makes your tea better than everyone else's? M: Well, there certainly are many choices when it comes to tea in China. I think one of the main differences is that our teas are never blended or mixed with other teas. If you are buying a particular tea from us, you can be sure that it came from one tea farm and one specific harvest. W: What's the advantage of drinking that kind of tea? M: The flavors are much more pure, and many experts agree that the health benefits of drinking tea are maximized when the tea comes from a single source. Also, when we buy our tea, we buy it directly from the growers. This allows us to get to know more about the growing process and the people who produce our tea. W: How do your prices compare to those of other companies? M: We' re a small company that focus on selling small amounts of high quality tea. We are not trying to make huge profits by selling the most tea possible. We pay much higher prices for our tea because we believe it is the best in the world, and we also want to make sure that the people who grow the tea get fair compensation for their work. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there are good reasons why our prices might be a little higher. W: Well, why don't tell us a bit about the teas you have at the moment? Text 10 May is now recognized as Asian American and Pacific Islander Month. Throughout the month of May, everyone can learn more about the efforts and achievements of Asian Americans and Pacific islanders. They have contributed to American history and culture, from the first Filipinos arriving in what is now known as California to the Chinese laborers completing the United States transcontinental railroad. Asian Americans are now the fastest growing Ethnic group in America. On Sunday, May 16th, many people gathered in Chicago’s Chinatown to celebrate through speeches from distinguished political leaders and various entertainers’ performances. Those who arrived early in the day started with dim sum and went shopping in the local stores for groceries, souvenirs, clothing, etc. They also visited the local Chinese American Museum or the Heritage Museum of Asian Art. After the afternoon entertainment performances concluded, they went with friends or family for dinner at one of the many fine Chinese restaurants. 阅读理解 A 篇 BAC 21. 从文章第一个黑体字段落里，找到第二行，艺术家Yayoi Kusama 一直探索无限空间的理念。作品中的内容融合了大胆的色彩应用和3-D形式以及镜像生成的视觉错觉使得观众进入包罗万象的审美空间。 22. 最后一段Multimedia pieces and political themes are never hard to detect.多媒体作品和政治主题常见于这个展览。根据这句判断答案是A 23. 第2和3 两个展览里都提到了外界环境给他们的作品提供了灵感。Matisse and the sea 是以海洋为主题，Georgia O’Keeffe 是以城市风景为主题。Before she turned her eye to flowers, mesas and desert sunsets, Georgia O’Keeffe captured the vertiginous 高而陡峭的 perspectives of New York City living. B篇ACBC 【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者和丈夫从亲密到疏远再到重新沟通和理解的过程。 24题:细节理解题。根据第二段的“However, it was not long after our honeymoon when my husband climbed into the tomb called “the office” and wrapped his mind in a shroud of paperwork and buried himself in clients, and I said nothing for fear of turning into a complaining wife.(然而，在我们度完蜜月后不久，我丈夫爬进了名为“办公室”的坟墓，用一大堆文书工作包裹着自己，把自己埋在客户身上，我什么也没说，生怕变成一个唠叨的妻子)”可知，第二段描述了丈夫沉浸在工作中，与客户打交道。由此可知，作者的丈夫几乎全身心投入到了工作中。故选A。 25题详解： 词句猜测题。根据倒数第三段的“Then tragedy struck our lives, when my husband’s younger brother was killed on in 2001, along with thousands of other innocent people. (然后悲剧袭击了我们的生活，我丈夫的弟弟和成千上万的其他无辜者一起被杀)”，以及“Attending our brother’s memorial service was an eye-opening experience for both of us.(参加我们兄弟的追悼会对我们俩来说都是一次大开眼界的经历)”和“At the tragic death of the youngest son they could not reach out to comfort one another. It seemed as if somewhere between the oldest son’s first tooth and the youngest son’s graduation they had lost each other.(最小的儿子不幸去世，他们无法互相安慰。似乎在大儿子长出第一颗牙和小儿子毕业典礼之间的某个时候，他们失去了彼此)”可知，在丈夫的弟弟去世后，他的父母无法相互安慰。所以划线单词指代的是作者丈夫的父母。故选C。 26题：推理判断题。根据第三段的“Somewhere between his work timetable and our home and young daughter, we were losing touch with each other. That invisible wall was now being hardened by the mortar (砂浆) of indifference.(在他的工作日程和我们的家和年幼的女儿之间，我们彼此失去了联系。那堵看不见的墙现在被冷漠的砂浆硬化了)”以及最后一段“We are slowly working toward building a bridge — not a wall, so that when we reach out to each other, we do not find a barrier we cannot penetrate or retreat from the stranger on the other side.(我们正在慢慢地努力建造一座桥，而不是一堵墙，这样当我们互相接触时，我们就不会发现一个我们无法穿透或从另一边的陌生人那里撤退的障碍)”可知，作者能够敏锐地感受到自己与丈夫之间的变化，并且表达了对于婚姻状况的深刻思考，同时也表现出了想要通过沟通来改善关系的愿望，这说明她既敏感又理智。故选B。 27题详解： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Later one night, my husband told of his fear of dying and I spoke of trying to find myself in the writings of my journal. It seemed as if each of us had been hiding our soul-searching from the other.(一天晚上，我丈夫讲述了他对死亡的恐惧。在那之前，他一直害怕暴露自己赤裸的灵魂。我谈到试图在我的日记中找到自己。似乎我们每个人都在对对方隐瞒我们的灵魂探索)”以及最后一段“We are slowly working toward building a bridge—not a wall, so that when we reach out to each other, we do not find a barrier we cannot penetrate or retreat from the stranger on the other side.(我们正在慢慢地努力建造一座桥，而不是一堵墙，这样当我们互相接触时，我们就不会发现一个我们无法穿透或从另一边的陌生人那里撤退的障碍)”可推知，参加兄弟的葬礼促使了夫妻对婚姻的反思，作者觉得交流是打破障碍的最有效手段。故选C。 C篇 BCDC 28. 第一段提及诺贝尔科学奖 的三个领域其实正是想引出今年的诺贝尔物理将出现了灵活性。参考第一段里这句话Similar flexibility, though in an area with far more profound consequences than ethology行为学, has been demonstrated with regard to this year's physics prize. 29. 参考第二段第三行Dr Hopfield was responsible for what has become known as the Hopfield network — a type of artificial neural network that behaves like a physical structure called a spin glass, which gave the academy a tenuous reason to call the field "physics".这种人工神经网络的行为与一种称为自旋转玻璃的物理结构相似，这为瑞典皇家科学院提供了一个勉强的理由，将这个领域归类为物理学。 30. 第五段里Dr Hinton's algorithm enhanced neural networks' learning ability by letting them work, in effect, in three dimensions.欣顿博士的算法让神经网络能够在三位空间中高效工作，从而提高了他们的学习能力。 31主旨大意题这里要参考文章第2段Sweden's Royal Academy of Science has stretched the definition of physics to include computer science, and given its recognition认可to two of the pioneers of the artificial-intelligence (AI) revolution .瑞典皇家科学院展现出了一种在其决策中并不常见的与时俱进的态度，将物理学的定义拓展到计算机科学领域，并对当前正在席卷各行各业的人工智能革命的两位先驱给予了权威认可。 D篇 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是“虚拟社交”这一概念的起源和发展，以及人们与名人之间的情感联系对商业和个人的影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中的“Today, the definition is much broader. After all, actors, singers, comedians, athletes, and countless other celebrities are available to us in more ways than ever before. Forming parasocial bonds has never been easier.(今天，这个定义要广泛得多。毕竟，演员、歌手、喜剧演员、运动员和无数其他名人比以往任何时候都有更多的方式可供我们使用。形成虚拟社交关系从未如此简单。)”可知，现在有更多的方式触到名人，形成虚拟社交关系更加简单，由此可知，虚拟社交变得更容易得到。故选B项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Psychologists document cases of parasocial relationships that can go much deeper, with severe consequences. Scholars note parasocial bonds range from casual talk about stars to intense emotions, to uncontrollable behavior and fantasies.(心理学家记录了一些可能更深层次的虚拟社交关系的案例，这些案例会带来严重的后果。学者们指出，虚拟社交关系的范围从随意谈论明星到强烈的情绪，再到无法控制的行为和幻想。)”以及下文中介绍的深层次的虚拟社交案例以及虚拟社交关系对青少年影响的分析可知，本段主要介绍的是虚拟社交关系带来的严重后果。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“That is, people who tended to push others away in their day-to-day lives were more likely to relate to fictional characters. You can easily see how parasocial relationships could be a replacement when one finds real-life attachment difficult. (也就是说，那些在日常生活中脱离现实的人更有可能与虚构人物产生联系。你可以很容易地看到，当一个人发现现实生活中的依恋很难时，虚拟社会关系是如何成为一种替代品的。)”可知，那些在日常生活中脱离现实的人更有可能与虚构人物产生联系，在现实生活中的以来很难时，虚拟社会关系就会成为其替代品，由此可知，那些在现实关系中很挣扎的人很可能导致虚拟社交关系。故选D项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据尾段中的“One way to address this is to get some more distance from your fictional friends, thus pausing the feedback cycle and giving yourself more space to pursue in-person connection.(解决这个问题的一种方法是与你的虚拟朋友保持一定的距离，从而暂停反馈循环，给自己更多的空间去追求面对面的联系。)”可知，作者建议与虚拟朋友保持距离，给自己更多的空间去追求面对面的关系，由此可知，作者建议多和真正的朋友出去。故选B项。 七选五 36 B 项是跟前文有转折关系。但是研究表明如果我们不主动消化吸收这些信息，在24小时内就会遗忘高达70%的新知识。 37. D 这里第一次提及active reading 是什么。 38. F 标题提示有purpose, 这里goal 是关键词 39. A 前一句提示不要一味追求速度，要理解内容。 40. E 前文提示think critically这里强调如何思考 完形填空：本文讲的是Michael Surrell先生英勇火中救人的故事。 41.词意辨析。根据后文的故事情节走向，可了解到Michael Surrell一听说隔壁着火了，立马过去查看了解情况。故选C。 42.B。根据后文的“grandma”可得知Tiara是这位女士的“granddaughter”,故选B。 43.C词意辨析。根据语境可知，尽管已经联系了火警，但Michael Surrell先生立即冲进了着火的房屋救人，突显他危急关头果断救人的品质。”故选C。 44.B。根据常识可知，thick修饰的是smoke,与后文的the smoke-filled house也呼应上了。故选B。 45.D词意辨析。根据下文的提示 he moved outside to 46 his breath，可知他喘不过气来，故选D。 46.D。根据前文的“smoke-filled house，moved outside”，可知他退出来是为了呼吸新鲜空气。故选D。 47.D词意辨析。根据语境可知，紧急关头，Michael Surrell先生急切地询问小女孩身在何处，故选D。 48.B。根据后文的“ made it to the second floor”可得知两家的户型结构相似,故选B。 49.D词意辨析。根据根据上下文，effortlessly意为“轻而易举地”故选D,。 50.A词意辨析。根据后文“He crawled toward the sound”可得知他在一片漆黑中，什么也看不见，是根据声音找到小女孩的，所以小女孩的声音很清晰传到他耳中。故选A。 51.D根据前文的“feeling around for...”可得知他在一片漆黑中，什么也看不见，是根据声音摸索着寻找小女孩的存在的迹象,故选D。 52.A词意辨析。根据常识可知，在有火和浓烟的环境里，无法看清东西，只能依靠手触摸感知事物，故选A。 53.C词意辨析。根据前文的环境交代，可得知他在一片漆黑中，什么也看不见，在找到小女孩后，他同样是挣扎着寻找出路，强调困难的状态，突出寻找人的不易,故选C。 54.D词意辨析。be released from the hospital此处翻译成“出院”。故选D。 55.D 句意为“这是一个很小的代价，如果还有下一次我依然会毫不犹豫救人的。”故选D。 语法填空 56.考查定语从句，根据定语从句中缺少状语，先行词为China可知答案为where。 57.考查时态，根据后文“ever since”可知答案为has had。 58.考查冠词的用法，可知答案为a。 59.考查with复合结构，根据上下文,可知答案为with。 60.考查非谓语动词的用法，a new discovery与announce间为被动关系，可知答案为announced。 61.考查非谓语动词，date back意为 “追溯到”，无被动语态，可知答案为dating 62.考查副词，可知答案为possibly 63.考查名词，根据上下文可知，需要一个名词，答案为remains 64.考查形式主语，可知答案为it。 65考查动词不定式，充当目的状语，可知答案为to confirm 应用文 Dear Tom, Delighted to learn that you are in charge of sharing the Chinese handicrafts in your upcoming exhibition concerning the appreciation of world-wide marvelous artworks , I am writing to offer my recommendation.

I was so extremely fortunate to have finally found that one special person. However, it was soon after our honeymoon that my husband climbed into the tomb called "the office" and buried himself in piles of paperwork and clients, and I just kept silent for fear of turning into a complaining wife. It seemed as if overnight an invisible wall had been put up between us. He just lay beside snoring like a hibernating bear unaware of my winter When our daughter was born, my life was centred on her and I no longer seemed to care that my husband was getting busier and spending less time at home. Somewhere between his work timetable and our home and young daughter, we were losing contact with each other, That invisible wall was now being hardened by the mortar(秒浆) of indifference. Then tragedy struck our lives, when my husband's younger brother was killed in 2ool, together with thousands of other innocent people. He was identified only by the engraving(雕刻) on the inside of his wedding ring: Attending our brother's memorial service was an eye-opening experience for both of us. For the first time, we saw our own marriage was almost like my in-laws. At the tragic death of the youngest son they could not reach out to comfort one another. It seemed as if somewhere between the oldest son's first tooth and the youngest son's graduation they had lost each other. Later one night, my husband told of his fear of dying and I spoke of trying to find myself in the writings of my journal. It seemed as if each of us had been hiding our soul-searching from the other 合肥一中高一年级上学期期中联考·英语 第3页(共8页) 省跳 We are slowly working toward building a bridge-not a wall, so that when we reach out to each other, we do not find a barrier we cannot pass through or retreat from the stranger on the other side 24. what can we lcarn about the author's husband From the second paragraph?

C Nobel science prizes are awarded in three areas: physics, chemistry and physiology or medicine. But occasionally some noteworthy discovery comes along that does not really fit into any of them. Similar flexibility, though in an area with far more profound consequences than ethology(行为学), has been demonstrated with regard to this year's physics prize. Showing a sense of timeliness not always apparent in its deliberations, Sweden's Royal Academy of Science has stretched the definition of physics to include computer science, and given its recognition to two of the pioneers of the artificial-intelligence (AI) revolution. John Hopfield of Princeton University and Geofrey Hinton of the University of Toronto both did their crucial work in the early 1980s, at a time when computer hardware was unable to take full advantage of it. Dr Hopfield was responsible for what has become known as the Hopfield network 一 a type of artificial neural network that behaves like a physical structure called a spin glass, which gave the academy a faint reason to call the field "physics". Dr Ilinton's contribution was to use an algorithm(算法) known to train neural networks. Artificial neural networks are computer programs based loosely on the way in which real: biological networks of nerve cells are believed to work. In particular, the strengths of the connections between "nodes" (结点) )in such networks are plastic. Hopfield networks, in which each node is connected to every other except itself, are particularly good at learning to extract patterns from sparse (稀疏的) or noisy data. Dr Hinton's algorithm enhances neural networks' learning ability by letting them work, in effect, in three dimensions. Hopfield networks and their types are, in essence, two-dimensional. Though they actually exis only as simulations in software, they can be thought of as a structure of physical layers of nodes. Dr Hintor adjusted Dr Hopfield's networks using a branch of maths called statistical mechanics to create what are known as Boltzmann machines. Boltzmann machines can be used to create systems that learn in an unsupervised manner, spotting patterns in data without having to be explicitly taught. It is, then, the activities of these two researchers which have made machine learning really sing. AI models can now not only learn, but create. Such tools have thus gone from being able to perform highly spccific c tasks, such as recognizing cancerous cells in pictures of tissue samples or streamlining particle-physics data, to anything from writing essays for lazy undergraduates to running robots. 28. Why does the writer mention the three areas of Nobel science prizes? A. To inform readers of the specific information. B. To introduce the flexibility of this years' Nobel physics prize. 合肥一中高一年级上学期期中联考·英语 第4页(共8页) 省才跳考 C. To share with readers the importance of the Nobel prizes D. To highlight the critical role physics plays in the world. 29. What can be the evidence that the two researcher's activities can be called "physics"? A. The Hopfield Networks are two-dimensional B.

Physiology and medicine researchers are common in the Nobel Prize winners D The term parasocial interaction (虚拟社交) was introduced in the 195os by the social scientists Donal Horton and R. Richard Wohl. It was the early days of home television, and they were seeing people form a clos connection with actors who were appearing virtually in their home. Today, the definition is much broader. After all, actors, singers, comedians, athletes, and countless other celebrities are available to us in more ways than ever before. Forming parasocial bonds has never been easier. Psychologists document cases of parasocial relationships that can go much deeper, with severe conseauences. Scholars note parasocial bonds range from casual talk about stars to intense emotions, to uncontrollable behavior and fantasies. At the deepest level, the parasocial relationship can be dangerous, such as when a fan loses touch with reality and secretly follows a star. It can also lead to confusion about one's owr identity, particularly in adolescents who are still forming their sense of self, as they may model themselves on the media figures with whom they have parasocial relationships In 2021, two psychologists from York University, in Canada, found that forming parasocial bonds was strongly related to avoidant attachment. That is, people who tended to push others away in their day-to-day lives were more likely to relate to fictional characters. You can easily see how parasocial relationships could be a replacement when one finds real-life attachment difficult. This could start a feedback cycle, in which avoiding close relationships stimulates parasocial bonding, which in turn leads to reduced interactions with real-life family and friends as the fans spends their time and energy on someone who doesn't know they exist. My purpose here is not to say that parasocial interactions are always bad for you, or even abnormal. Rather, it is to suggest that heavy parasocial bonding might be a signal that you are crowding out the real people whc can give you the love you truly need. One way to address this is to get some more distance from your fictiona friends, thus pausing the feedback cycle and giving yourself more space to pursue in-person connection. 32.

It has turned into a two-way process 33. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. reasons behind celebrity following B. origins of dangerous relationships C. potential harm of parasocial relationships.
