Research studies indicate that children who eat breakfast perform better at school. Maybe it works that way for adults too since our brains need fuel to work properly.
Skipping breakfast is a common way for people who are trying to lose weight, but unfortunately, it’s usually not a successful way. Your body (or more likely, your brain) expects to be refueled a few times each day. When you don’t eat breakfast, you may feel so hungry by lunchtime that you eat more foods than you normally would, which cancels out the calories you cut by skipping breakfast. You may also be tempted to choose foods that are not the healthiest choices when you feel like you are starving.
For many people, eating breakfast may be an important part of a weight loss diet. Research studies tell us that people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep up a healthy weight. Some experts believe that breakfast keeps your metabolism (新陈代谢) running higher. In fact, it takes three or four days of eating nothing before the body starts changing down your metabolism. It’s more likely that people who regularly eat breakfast also make good dietary choices the rest of the day.
Breakfast should include a healthy source of protein and plenty of fiber; the combination will help satisfy your hunger and will keep you feeling full until lunchtime. The protein can come from low-fat meat, low-fat dairy products, or nuts. Eggs are also a good source of protein. High-fiber foods, include fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
If you really don’t like to eat breakfast in the morning, you can split it up into two smaller meals. Eat a hard-boiled egg, or a small cup of yogurt at home before you leave for work, and then about an hour or two later, take a break from work and snack on an apple and a handful of healthy nuts like pecans or walnuts.
24. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. Eating breakfast keeps us healthier than skipping it.
B. Skipping breakfast isn’t very useful for losing weight.
C. Our brain needs a lot of fuel to work properly.
D. What healthy food we should eat for breakfast
25. What does the underlined word “tempted” Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Pretended. B. Determined. C. Attracted. D. Warned.
26. All the following are a good source of protein EXCEPT _______.
A. low-fat meat B. low-fat dairy products
C. vegetables D. eggs
27. The passage is most probably taken from _______.
A. a news report B. a personal diary
C. a biology book D. a healthy life website
C
The giant panda’s special black-and-white fur makes it one of the most recognizable animals on the planet. But why does it have this unique coloring? To hide from natural enemies, both in the snow and in the shadows, study lead author Tim Caro, a professor in the UC (University of California) Davis Department of Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology, said in a new statement. Moreover, the large black circles around a panda’s eyes may help other pandas recognize it, the researchers said.
Understanding why the giant panda has such noticeable color has been a long-term problem to solve. To find out the answer, Caro and his colleagues looked at photos of pandas and 195 other carnivore (食肉动物) species, including 39 subspecies of bears. Then, they recorded the coloring on each area of those animals’ bodies, and compared them with areas of the panda’s body. “Compared with the previous studies, the breakthrough in this study was treating each part of the body as an independent area,” Caro said.
The research team tried to figure out the purpose of the dark-colored furry areas. After going through many comparisons, the researchers determined that the white parts of the giant panda help it hide in the snow. In contrast, its black arms and legs help it hide in the shadows, they said. The panda’s white-and-black coloring didn’t appear to be related to temperature regulation. Nor did they find evidence that the dark circles around a panda’s eyes helped to make them look cuter.
“This really was a great effort by our team, finding and scoring thousands of images and scoring more than 10 areas per picture from over 20 possible colors,” study co-author Ted Stankowich, an assistant professor of biology at California State University, Long Beach, said in the statement. “Sometimes it takes hundreds of hours of hard work to answer the simplest question: Why is the panda black and white?”
28. Why did Caro study the photos of pandas and 195 other carnivore species?
A. To record the number of photos.
B. To research more carnivore species.
C. To figure out the reason behind pandas’ special color.
D. To compare the difference between pandas and other carnivore species.
29. What study method did the researchers use to draw the conclusion?
A. Doing experiments. B. Making comparisons.
C. Scoring pandas’ behavior in nature. D. Observing pandas in the wild.
30. What can we learn about pandas’ unique coloring?
A The white and black parts help pandas to hide.
B. The function of the dark-colored areas is unknown.
C. The white-and-black coloring will change with temperature.
D. The dark circles around pandas’ eyes help make them look cuter.
31. What can be inferred from Ted Stankowich’s words?
A. The study is a great success.
B. Hundreds of hours of hard work is not worthwhile.
C. It needs efforts to find the truth behind simple questions.
D. Simple issues shouldn’t take scientists so much time to study.
D
Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form.
Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss.
However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships.
With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection (复活) has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deep fake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible.
32. Why does the author mention Black Mirror?
A. To advertise Microsoft’s virtual products.
B To lead to the discussion about AI resurrection.
C. To prove the predictive power of science fiction.
D. To highlight the advancement of artificial intelligence.
33. Which of the following aspects is the primary focus of paragraph 2?
A. The popularity of AI-resurrection technology.
B. Reasons for making a digital version of Bao Rong.
C. Challenges of developing a life-like digital human.
D. The process of creating an AI-powered virtual figure.
34. What can we learn about AI-resurrection technology from paragraph 3?
A. It still has some technical limitations.
B. It helps people build new real-life relationships.
C. It can be a person’s obstacle to recovering from sadness.
D. It enables individuals to preserve good memories of loved ones.
35. What does the author suggest people do?
A. Strengthen the management of the technology.
B. Apply the technology to making pictures and videos.
C. Put the technology into the market as soon as possible.
D. Educate the public about the potential risks of technology.

My 12th birthday came at last. What a wonderful feeling it was to know that I turned twelve and that I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box wrapped up (包装) with nice pink paper with flowers on it. When I removed the paper and opened the box, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had got a cell phone! I ran to give my mom and dad the biggest hug ever, and said, “Thank you! I love you!”
“You’re welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy. But we give you this not only because you have turned twelve but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades.”
I said confidently that I would. As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts (联系人) on the first day. It felt like I didn’t even exist in that class any more. I didn’t pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. I texted my friends, surfed the Internet for stories or played games.
Luckily, I didn’t get caught using it. I had formed a habit of secretly enjoying my phone in class. But I was pretty sure that the teachers did notice that I stopped paying attention to them, because a week later we took a test and I failed. What’s worse, my parents had to sign the test.

17. What should you know when in a hotel?
A. How to offer a tip.
B. When to use the hair dryer.
C. Where to put your luggage.
18. Which of the following is the electricity in North America?
A. 130 volts. B. 110 volts. C. 220 volts.
19. Why is the long-distance call so expensive?
A. Because it is special.

C. Because the hotel adds a high service charge.
20. What is the speaker talking about?
A. The service in the hotel.
B. The fee of a long-distance call.
C. The charge of the hotel.
【答案】17. A 18. B 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】When you stay in a hotel, there are some things you should know about. First you have to tip. The bell-man gets 50 cents to $1 per bag for taking your luggage to your room. Maids usually don’t expect a tip, but if you stay more than a few days or if your maid does something special for you, a $2 tip is a good idea. Room service waiters should get 15% of a bill. Electricity in North America is 110 volts — not 220. This means you won’t be able to use your hair dryer or your electric razor unless you can change it to 110 volts. When telephoning from your hotel room, you will often have to go through the hotel switchboard, especially for a long-distance call. These calls can be quite expensive, because the hotel usually adds a high service charge to the calls you make. On the other hand, local calls can generally be made from your room by dialing direct. You can also ask the hotel receptionist to give you a wake-up call in the morning. You will always find soap, towels and linen in hotel and motel rooms in the US.

Research studies indicate that children who eat breakfast perform better at school. Maybe it works that way for adults too since our brains need fuel to work properly.
Skipping breakfast is a common way for people who are trying to lose weight, but unfortunately, it’s usually not a successful way. Your body (or more likely, your brain) expects to be refueled a few times each day. When you don’t eat breakfast, you may feel so hungry by lunchtime that you eat more foods than you normally would, which cancels out the calories you cut by skipping breakfast. You may also be tempted to choose foods that are not the healthiest choices when you feel like you are starving.
For many people, eating breakfast may be an important part of a weight loss diet. Research studies tell us that people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep up a healthy weight. Some experts believe that breakfast keeps your metabolism (新陈代谢) running higher. In fact, it takes three or four days of eating nothing before the body starts changing down your metabolism. It’s more likely that people who regularly eat breakfast also make good dietary choices the rest of the day.
Breakfast should include a healthy source of protein and plenty of fiber; the combination will help satisfy your hunger and will keep you feeling full until lunchtime. The protein can come from low-fat meat, low-fat dairy products, or nuts. Eggs are also a good source of protein. High-fiber foods, include fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
If you really don’t like to eat breakfast in the morning, you can split it up into two smaller meals. Eat a hard-boiled egg, or a small cup of yogurt at home before you leave for work, and then about an hour or two later, take a break from work and snack on an apple and a handful of healthy nuts like pecans or walnuts.
24. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. Eating breakfast keeps us healthier than skipping it.
B. Skipping breakfast isn’t very useful for losing weight.
C. Our brain needs a lot of fuel to work properly.
D. What healthy food we should eat for breakfast
25. What does the underlined word “tempted” Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Pretended. B. Determined. C. Attracted. D. Warned.
26. All the following are a good source of protein EXCEPT _______.
A. low-fat meat B. low-fat dairy products
C. vegetables D. eggs
27. The passage is most probably taken from _______.
A. a news report B. a personal diary
C. a biology book D. a healthy life website
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. D
【解析】

Eat a hard-boiled egg, or a small cup of yogurt at home before you leave for work, and then about an hour or two later, take a break from work and snack on an apple and a handful of healthy nuts like pecans or walnuts.(如果你真的不喜欢在早上吃早餐,你可以把它分成两小餐。上班前在家吃一个煮熟的鸡蛋或一小杯酸奶,然后一两个小时后,休息一下,吃一个苹果和一把健康的坚果,比如胡桃或核桃。)”可知,文章主要是讲健康饮食的,所以最有可能来自一个健康生活网站。故选D。

The giant panda’s special black-and-white fur makes it one of the most recognizable animals on the planet. But why does it have this unique coloring? To hide from natural enemies, both in the snow and in the shadows, study lead author Tim Caro, a professor in the UC (University of California) Davis Department of Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology, said in a new statement. Moreover, the large black circles around a panda’s eyes may help other pandas recognize it, the researchers said.
Understanding why the giant panda has such noticeable color has been a long-term problem to solve. To find out the answer, Caro and his colleagues looked at photos of pandas and 195 other carnivore (食肉动物) species, including 39 subspecies of bears. Then, they recorded the coloring on each area of those animals’ bodies, and compared them with areas of the panda’s body. “Compared with the previous studies, the breakthrough in this study was treating each part of the body as an independent area,” Caro said.
The research team tried to figure out the purpose of the dark-colored furry areas. After going through many comparisons, the researchers determined that the white parts of the giant panda help it hide in the snow. In contrast, its black arms and legs help it hide in the shadows, they said. The panda’s white-and-black coloring didn’t appear to be related to temperature regulation. Nor did they find evidence that the dark circles around a panda’s eyes helped to make them look cuter.
“This really was a great effort by our team, finding and scoring thousands of images and scoring more than 10 areas per picture from over 20 possible colors,” study co-author Ted Stankowich, an assistant professor of biology at California State University, Long Beach, said in the statement. “Sometimes it takes hundreds of hours of hard work to answer the simplest question: Why is the panda black and white?”
28. Why did Caro study the photos of pandas and 195 other carnivore species?
A. To record the number of photos.
B. To research more carnivore species.
C. To figure out the reason behind pandas’ special color.
D. To compare the difference between pandas and other carnivore species.
29. What study method did the researchers use to draw the conclusion?
A. Doing experiments. B. Making comparisons.
C. Scoring pandas’ behavior in nature. D. Observing pandas in the wild.
30. What can we learn about pandas’ unique coloring?
A. The white and black parts help pandas to hide.
B. The function of the dark-colored areas is unknown.
C. The white-and-black coloring will change with temperature.
D. The dark circles around pandas’ eyes help make them look cuter.
31. What can be inferred from Ted Stankowich’s words?
A. The study is a great success.
B. Hundreds of hours of hard work is not worthwhile.
C. It needs efforts to find the truth behind simple questions.
D. Simple issues shouldn’t take scientists so much time to study.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Understanding why the giant panda has such noticeable color has been a long-term problem to solve. To find out the answer, Caro and his colleagues looked at photos of pandas and 195 other carnivore (食肉动物) species, including 39 subspecies of bears.(了解大熊猫为什么有如此明显的颜色一直是一个长期需要解决的问题。为了找到答案,卡罗和他的同事们研究了大熊猫和其他195种食肉动物的照片,其中包括39种熊的亚种)”可知,卡罗要研究大熊猫和其他195种食肉动物的照片是为了找出熊猫特殊颜色背后的原因。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“To find out the answer, Caro and his colleagues looked at photos of pandas and 195 other carnivore (食肉动物) species, including 39 subspecies of bears. Then, they recorded the coloring on each area of those animals’ bodies, and compared them with areas of the panda’s body. “Compared with the previous studies, the breakthrough in this study was treating each part of the body as an independent area,” Caro said.(为了找到答案,卡罗和他的同事们研究了大熊猫和其他195种食肉动物的照片,其中包括39种熊的亚种。然后,他们记录下这些动物身体每个区域的颜色,并将它们与熊猫身体的区域进行比较。卡罗说:“与以前的研究相比,这项研究的突破是将身体的每个部位视为一个独立的区域。”)”可知,研究人员用做比较的方法得出结论。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The research team tried to figure out the purpose of the dark-colored furry areas. After going through many comparisons, the researchers determined that the white parts of the giant panda help it hide in the snow. In contrast, its black arms and legs help it hide in the shadows, they said.(研究小组试图弄清楚这些深色毛茸茸的区域的目的。经过多次比较,研究人员确定大熊猫的白色部分有助于它隐藏在雪中。他们说,相比之下,它黑色的手臂和腿帮助它隐藏在阴影中)”可知,关于熊猫独特的颜色我们能了解到白色和黑色的部分帮助熊猫隐藏。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Ted Stankowich的话“Sometimes it takes hundreds of hours of hard work to answer the simplest question: Why is the panda black and white?(有时候,需要数百个小时的努力工作才能回答一个最简单的问题:为什么熊猫是黑白的?)”可推测出,要弄清楚简单问题背后的原因需要花费努力。故选C项。

Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form.
Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss.
However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships.
With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection (复活) has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deep fake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible.
32. Why does the author mention Black Mirror?
A. To advertise Microsoft’s virtual products.
B. To lead to the discussion about AI resurrection.
C. To prove the predictive power of science fiction.
D. To highlight the advancement of artificial intelligence.
33. Which of the following aspects is the primary focus of paragraph 2?
A. The popularity of AI-resurrection technology.
B. Reasons for making a digital version of Bao Rong.
C. Challenges of developing a life-like digital human.
D. The process of creating an AI-powered virtual figure.
34. What can we learn about AI-resurrection technology from paragraph 3?
A. It still has some technical limitations.
B. It helps people build new real-life relationships.
C. It can be a person’s obstacle to recovering from sadness.
D. It enables individuals to preserve good memories of loved ones.
35. What does the author suggest people do?
A. Strengthen the management of the technology.
B. Apply the technology to making pictures and videos.
C. Put the technology into the market as soon as possible.
D. Educate the public about the potential risks of technology.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。得益于技术进步,最新的人工智能技术带来了通过虚拟形式重现亲人的希望。然而,通过人工智能复活已故亲人也伴随着许多争议。因此,要建立适当的法规和道德标准,以确保人工智能复活技术的使用是安全和负责任的。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
My 12th birthday came at last. What a wonderful feeling it was to know that I turned twelve and that I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box wrapped up (包装) with nice pink paper with flowers on it. When I removed the paper and opened the box, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had got a cell phone! I ran to give my mom and dad the biggest hug ever, and said, “Thank you! I love you!”
“You’re welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy. But we give you this not only because you have turned twelve but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades.”
I said confidently that I would. As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts (联系人) on the first day. It felt like I didn’t even exist in that class any more. I didn’t pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. I texted my friends, surfed the Internet for stories or played games.
Luckily I didn’t get caught using it. I had formed a habit of secretly enjoying my phone in class. But I was pretty sure that the teachers did notice that I stopped paying attention to them, because a week later we took a test and I failed. What’s worse, my parents had to sign the test.
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。

I had to show my parents the test paper when I got home.

Paragraph 2:
My mom added, “Let us help you keep your cell phone until you’re old enough.”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I had to show my parents the test paper when I got home. When seeing my test result, they couldn’t believe it. They were angry but most of all, they were disappointed. They asked me why I failed the test. I didn’t dare to tell a lie, and told them the truth. When figuring out the cause, my dad said, “ The phone helps you communicate with us and your friends, but I think you’re too young to properly use it.”
Paragraph 2:
My mom added, “Let us help you keep your cell phone until you’re old enough” Although I was unwilling to do it, I still took my phone out of my pocket and handed it to my parents. During the first days without the cell phone, I felt bad. But eventually I got used to it and my life, especially my school life, became normal again. In class, I’d listen carefully as before. After school, I’d be devoted to finishing my homework. Gradually, my school performance improved and I obtained good grades again.
