The words “clear” and “bright” describe the weather during this period. Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for growing crops in the spring. As is known, it is a time to worship ancestors (祭拜祖先). However, here are some things you may not know about Clear and Bright. Spring Outings Not only is it a period to honor the dead, but it is also time for people to go out and enjoy nature. As trees turn green, flowers come out, and the sun shines brightly, everything returns to life. It is a fine time to enjoy the beauty of nature. Flying Kites Flying kites is an activity loved by many Chinese during Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are not only flown during the day time but also in the evening. Little lanterns are tied to the kites. And when the kites are flying in the sky, the lanterns look like twinkling stars at night. What makes flying kites during this day special is that people cut the string while the kite is in the sky to let it fly freely. It is said that this brings good luck and that diseases can be driven away by doing this. Cuju Cuju is an interesting game played during this period. Ju is a ball made of leather with hairs in it. It is said that the Yellow Emperor first invented it for training warriors. Later, Cuju was used by people to build up their bodies when they were unable to eat hot food during the Cold Food Festival. Qingtuan In the lower parts of the Yangtze River region, qingtuan is very popular on Tomb-Sweeping Day. Qingtuan is a kind of round green cake. In order to make the cakes, people mash (捣碎) barnyard grass (艾草) to squeeze juice from it and mix the flour and juice to a paste. Then they put fillings into the paste and steam them. Pretty and delicate, qingtuan tastes special. 31. What is special about flying kites during Clear and Bright? A. Flying kites to bring good luck. B. Cutting the kite string to let it fly freely. C. Flying kites with lanterns in the evening. D. Flying kites both in the daytime and at night. 32. What can we learn from the passage? A. Clear and Bright is an important period for farming. B. Kites are only flown during the daytime in the Qingming Festival. C. Cuju was invented by the Yellow Emperor to play in the Qingming Festival. D. Qingtuan is eaten during the period of Clear and Bright all over China. 33. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Flying kites in a special way. B. The history of the Qingming Festival. C. Ways to have fun during Clear and Bright. D. Some unknown customs about Clear and Bright. B My kids sit in Gee’s living room and carefully lift Christmas ornaments (饰品) out of a box treasure. She tells me that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece. She smiles when we leave with the box. We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had taken away our rubbish to the rubbish bin, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we noticed him: an elderly man who lived across the street—Tom. ___________________ I made cookies and left them on a bench outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, we found a letter from Tom, explaining he had been fighting a war, neighbors had taken away the rubbish for his young wife, Gee, and he never forgot. A few years later, Tom died. We wrote a letter to Gee, telling her how thankful we were to have known him. She wrote back and told us she still missed Tom every day. These days, we’re planning a move. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture, books, toys and, of course, people. We have packed all the moving boxes, but we can’t seem to put up the “For Sale” sign on the lawn. It’s not just Gee. It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard. It’s the ladies who leave baskets full of food for our kids. Jim and I agree to wait until January. This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee’s ornaments. Maybe I want to show our thanks to Tom for teaching us what it means to be a neighbor. 34. Which of the following sentences should go in the empty box in the third paragraph? A. Now he collects ornaments for all of us. B. Now he makes some cookies for all of us. C. Now he takes away the rubbish for all of us. D. Now he writes thank-you notes for all of us. 35.

D The writer doesn’t want to leave the neighborhood. 37. What could be the best title of this passage? A. A nice couple. B. What it really means to be a neighbor. C. An unusual experience. D. What an elderly man does for us. C How a person sees criticism (批评) often means the difference between success and failure. Take the case of Ole Bull (1810-1880), the famous Norwegian violinist of the 19th century. His practical father, a chemist, sent him to the University of Christiania to study for the ministry (牧师), hoping he would get a well-paid job and prevented him from playing his beloved violin. However, he soon lost interest in his courses and dropped out of school because he failed the exams. Fighting against his father, he devoted all his time and energy to the violin. Unluckily, though he had great ability, his teachers were not skilled, so that by the time he was ready to start his concert tour, he wasn’t prepared. In Italy, after watching his performance, a Milan newspaper critic (评论家) wrote, “He is an untrained musician. If he is a diamond (钻石), he is certainly in the rough (粗糙的) and unpolished.” There were two ways Ole could have reacted to that criticism. He could have let it make him angry, taking no notice of what the critic said, or he could learn from it. Luckily, he chose the latter. He went to the newspaper office and asked to see the critic. The surprised editor introduced him at once. Ole spent the evening with the 70-year-old critic, asked about his faults, and asked for the older man’s advice on how to correct them. With the old man’s help, he felt like he came to a new world and he knew where he was going. Then he continued the rest of his tour, returned home, and spent the next six months studying under really able teachers. He practiced hours upon hours to get over his faults. Finally, he returned to his concerts and, when he was only 26, he became a great success in Europe. His devotion to music paid off. 38. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. He failed his studies in the university. B. His father didn’t allow him to play the violin. C. He met trouble in learning to play the violin. D. His music teachers were not skilled in teaching him. 39. What did the Milan critic think of Ole Bull? A. Young and inexperienced. B. Rude and unsuccessful. C. Talented but not well-trained. D. Clever but not hardworking. 40. What does the underlined part “the latter” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Arguing with the critic. B. Learning from the criticism. C. Giving up the concert tour. D. Following the old man’s advice. 41. From the passage, we can tell Ole Bull achieved success mainly because of ________. A. the way he saw criticism B. the advice he took C. his talent for music D. his concert tour D Artificial intelligence (AI) tools designed to operate at human levels have been more and more popular over the past year. These include OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s AI-powered search engine Bing. Such tools, also known as chatbots or generative AI, are computer-powered systems. They are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work. In recent months, these tools have proved an ability to produce high-quality work. This has led some technology experts to warn that generative (生成的) Al systems could end up replacing (取代) workers in many industries. This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants, from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group. Harvard Business School recently published the results from the experiment in a working paper. The main findings suggest that AI tools like ChatGPT can greatly improve worker perfornance. For example, researchers found hat, on average, workers who used OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT 4 tool completed 12 percent more tasks than non-ChatGPT users. Tasks carried out with help from the Al technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using ChatGPT 4 increased by about 40 percent. However, the paper also found areas where the performance of consultants using ChatGPT 4 dropped. The researchers said this was especially true with tasks the Al tool was not good at completing. “Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it greatly improved human performance,” the paper said. “But for tasks ChatGPT 4 was not right for, humans relied too much on the AI and were more likely to make mistakes.” The team suggests one of the biggest challenges to companies effectively (有效) using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts in order to find the right mix of AI and human-level work. 42. What is a purpose of designing AI tools according to the text? A. To perform low-level writing. B. To replace technology experts. C. To finish high-quality work. D. To improve communication. 43. Why does the writer mention ChatGPT 4 in paragraph 4? A. To explain the disadvantages of AI tools. B. To show how well AI tools could help workers. C. To show changes in the future working environment. D. To compare the work performance between humans and AI tools. 44. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Companies need to balance the work of AI and humans. B. It is useless to train so many workers to learn to use AI. C. It is easy to find the right mix of AI and human-level work. D. Research on using AI effectively has been made by businesses. 45. What is the best title for the text? A. ChatGPT Can See, Hear and Speak Now B. Ways to Improve Your Performance at Work C. The Fast Development of Artificial Intelligence D. AI Tools Help but also Harm Worker Performance 四 、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，计10分) 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词) 46.

One day Friday and I were standing together on top of a hill in the west part of the island when he suddenly shouted, “ Look, Master, My country!” He was pointing at the land in the distance. There was a big smile on his face. “Do you want to go back there, Friday?”I asked him. “Oh, yes!” was his reply, “ Is it far? Can I go there by boat?” “Yes,” he replied. I showed him mine. “Too small,” he said. So I took him to see my first boat in the woods, which took me months to make but had never been used because of being too far from the water. It was twenty-three years old now and full of holes. “This boat is good,” he said and then he laughed, “ But it is too old. ” “We can make another one,” I replied. “Then you can go back to your country. ” Friday suddenly looked very sad and I saw tears in his eyes. “Why do you want to send Friday away?” he asked. “Friday doesn’t want to go without Master. ” “I’m not going to send you away Friday,” I said,“ I’m going to come with you. Come on! Let’s look for a good tree for our boat!” There were lots of big trees in the woods, but it was important to find one near the water. I didn’t want to make the same mistake twice! Friday soon found a good one and we cut it down. We worked hard for a month. When our boat was ready, we pulled it into the water. Then I started to make preparations for our journey. We needed to take a lot of food with us. —Taken from Robinson Crusoe 56. How many white men were there in all in Friday’s country and on “my” island? ____________________________________________ 57.

The words “clear” and “bright” describe the weather during this period. Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for growing crops in the spring. As is known, it is a time to worship ancestors (祭拜祖先). However, here are some things you may not know about Clear and Bright. Spring Outings Not only is it a period to honor the dead, but it is also time for people to go out and enjoy nature.

Flying Kites Flying kites is an activity loved by many Chinese during Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are not only flown during the day time but also in the evening. Little lanterns are tied to the kites. And when the kites are flying in the sky, the lanterns look like twinkling stars at night. What makes flying kites during this day special is that people cut the string while the kite is in the sky to let it fly freely. It is said that this brings good luck and that diseases can be driven away by doing this. Cuju Cuju is an interesting game played during this period. Ju is a ball made of leather with hairs in it. It is said that the Yellow Emperor first invented it for training warriors. Later, Cuju was used by people to build up their bodies when they were unable to eat hot food during the Cold Food Festival. Qingtuan In the lower parts of the Yangtze River region, qingtuan is very popular on Tomb-Sweeping Day. Qingtuan is a kind of round green cake. In order to make the cakes, people mash (捣碎) barnyard grass (艾草) to squeeze juice from it and mix the flour and juice to a paste. Then they put fillings into the paste and steam them.

She tells me that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece. She smiles when we leave with the box. We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had taken away our rubbish to the rubbish bin, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we noticed him: an elderly man who lived across the street—Tom. ___________________ I made cookies and left them on a bench outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, we found a letter from Tom, explaining he had been fighting a war, neighbors had taken away the rubbish for his young wife, Gee, and he never forgot. A few years later, Tom died. We wrote a letter to Gee, telling her how thankful we were to have known him. She wrote back and told us she still missed Tom every day. These days, we’re planning a move. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture, books, toys and, of course, people. We have packed all the moving boxes, but we can’t seem to put up the “For Sale” sign on the lawn. It’s not just Gee. It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard. It’s the ladies who leave baskets full of food for our kids. Jim and I agree to wait until January. This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee’s ornaments. Maybe I want to show our thanks to Tom for teaching us what it means to be a neighbor. 34. Which of the following sentences should go in the empty box in the third paragraph? A.

When we got home that day, we found a letter from Tom, explaining he had been fighting a war”可知，在我去送饼干之前，Tom就已经去参加战争了，顺序为：c-d；根据“A few years later, Tom died. We wrote a letter to Gee”可知，几年后，我们给Tom的妻子Gee写信，e符合；根据“My kids sit in Gee’s living room and carefully lift Christmas ornaments (饰品) out of a box treasure. She tells me ...ornament collection piece by piece”可知，Gee最后把圣诞装饰品送给孩子们，本文是倒序，且此句是一般现在时，所以排在最后发生，b符合。故顺序为：a-c-d-e-b。故选A。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Jim and I agree to wait until January.”可知，Jim和我同意等到一月份再搬走，因此作者不想离开这里。故选D。 【37题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要讲述了邻里之间互相帮助的事情，因此B选项 “做邻居意味着什么” 符合最佳标题。故选B。 C How a person sees criticism (批评) often means the difference between success and failure. Take the case of Ole Bull (1810-1880), the famous Norwegian violinist of the 19th century. His practical father, a chemist, sent him to the University of Christiania to study for the ministry (牧师), hoping he would get a well-paid job and prevented him from playing his beloved violin. However, he soon lost interest in his courses and dropped out of school because he failed the exams. Fighting against his father, he devoted all his time and energy to the violin. Unluckily, though he had great ability, his teachers were not skilled, so that by the time he was ready to start his concert tour, he wasn’t prepared. In Italy, after watching his performance, a Milan newspaper critic (评论家) wrote, “He is an untrained musician. If he is a diamond (钻石), he is certainly in the rough (粗糙的) and unpolished.” There were two ways Ole could have reacted to that criticism. He could have let it make him angry, taking no notice of what the critic said, or he could learn from it. Luckily, he chose the latter. He went to the newspaper office and asked to see the critic. The surprised editor introduced him at once. Ole spent the evening with the 70-year-old critic, asked about his faults, and asked for the older man’s advice on how to correct them. With the old man’s help, he felt like he came to a new world and he knew where he was going. Then he continued the rest of his tour, returned home, and spent the next six months studying under really able teachers. He practiced hours upon hours to get over his faults. Finally, he returned to his concerts and, when he was only 26, he became a great success in Europe. His devotion to music paid off. 38. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. He failed his studies in the university. B. His father didn’t allow him to play the violin. C. He met trouble in learning to play the violin. D. His music teachers were not skilled in teaching him. 39. What did the Milan critic think of Ole Bull? A. Young and inexperienced. B. Rude and unsuccessful. C. Talented but not well-trained. D. Clever but not hardworking. 40. What does the underlined part “the latter” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Arguing with the critic. B. Learning from the criticism. C. Giving up the concert tour. D. Following the old man’s advice. 41. From the passage, we can tell Ole Bull achieved success mainly because of ________. A. the way he saw criticism B. the advice he took C. his talent for music D. his concert tour 【答案】38. C 39. C 40. B 41. A 【解析】 【导语】本文用著名小提琴家Ole的故事来说明一个人如何看待批评往往意味着成功与失败之间的区别。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Unluckily, though he had great ability, his teachers were not skilled, so that by the time he was ready to start his concert tour, he wasn’t prepared.”以及通读全段可知，Ole的父亲阻止Ole学小提琴，尽管Ole有很大的能力，但他的老师们却没有技能，所以当Ole准备开始他的巡回演唱会时，Ole还没有准备好。第二段主要讲的是Ole在学习拉小提琴时遇到了困难。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“He is an untrained musician. If he is a diamond, he is certainly in the rough and unpolished.”可知，Ole是一个未经训练的音乐家，如果他是一颗钻石，他肯定是未经雕琢的；可推断出米兰评论家认为Ole有才华但没有受过良好的训练。故选C。 【40题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“He could have let it make him angry, taking no notice of what the critic said, or he could learn from it.”可知，Ole可以选择不理会那些批评的话，或者他可以从中学习；可推测出“the latter”指代的是“learn from the criticism”，即在批判中吸取教训。故选B。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Ole spent the evening with the 70-year-old critic, asked about his faults, and asked for the older man’s advice on how to correct them.”可知，Ole与这位70岁的评论家共度了一个晚上，询问了他的缺点，并征求了这位老人的建议；根据最后一段中“He practiced hours upon hours to get over his faults.”可知，Ole练习了好几个小时来克服他的缺点；可推断出Ole取得成功主要是因为他看待批评的方式。故选A。 D Artificial intelligence (AI) tools designed to operate at human levels have been more and more popular over the past year. These include OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s AI-powered search engine Bing. Such tools, also known as chatbots or generative AI, are computer-powered systems. They are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work. In recent months, these tools have proved an ability to produce high-quality work. This has led some technology experts to warn that generative (生成的) Al systems could end up replacing (取代) workers in many industries. This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants, from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group. Harvard Business School recently published the results from the experiment in a working paper. The main findings suggest that AI tools like ChatGPT can greatly improve worker perfornance. For example, researchers found hat, on average, workers who used OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT 4 tool completed 12 percent more tasks than non-ChatGPT users. Tasks carried out with help from the Al technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using ChatGPT 4 increased by about 40 percent. However, the paper also found areas where the performance of consultants using ChatGPT 4 dropped. The researchers said this was especially true with tasks the Al tool was not good at completing. “Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it greatly improved human performance,” the paper said. “But for tasks ChatGPT 4 was not right for, humans relied too much on the AI and were more likely to make mistakes.” The team suggests one of the biggest challenges to companies effectively (有效) using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts in order to find the right mix of AI and human-level work. 42. What is a purpose of designing AI tools according to the text? A. To perform low-level writing. B. To replace technology experts. C. To finish high-quality work. D. To improve communication. 43. Why does the writer mention ChatGPT 4 in paragraph 4? A. To explain the disadvantages of AI tools. B. To show how well AI tools could help workers. C. To show changes in the future working environment. D. To compare the work performance between humans and AI tools. 44. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Companies need to balance the work of AI and humans. B. It is useless to train so many workers to learn to use AI. C. It is easy to find the right mix of AI and human-level work. D. Research on using AI effectively has been made by businesses. 45. What is the best title for the text? A. ChatGPT Can See, Hear and Speak Now B. Ways to Improve Your Performance at Work C. The Fast Development of Artificial Intelligence D. AI Tools Help but also Harm Worker Performance 【答案】42. C 43. B 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能工具有助于但同时也会损害员工的工作表现。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.”以及第二段中“In recent months, these tools have proved an ability to produce high-quality work.”可知，人工智能工具的设计目的是与人类流畅地互动，并进行高水平的写作和创造性工作；近几个月来，这些工具已被证明有能力制作出高质量的作品；所以设计人工智能工具的目的之一是完成高质量的工作。故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The main findings suggest that AI tools like ChatGPT can greatly improve worker perfornance.”可知，主要研究结果表明，像ChatGPT这样的人工智能工具可以极大地提高员工的绩效；所以作者在第四段提及ChatGPT 4是为了展示人工智能工具对员工的帮助。故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The team suggests one of the biggest challenges to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts in order to find the right mix of AI and human-level work.”可知，该团队表示，企业有效使用人工智能的最大挑战之一是不知道哪些任务可以用该技术完成得最好，要找到这一点，企业需要进行深思熟虑的研究和培训工作，以便找到人工智能和人类水平工作的正确组合；从最后一段中可以了解到，公司需要平衡人工智能和人类的工作。故选A。 【45题详解】 最佳标题题。根据第一段中“They are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.”以及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了人工智能工具有助于但同时也会损害员工的工作表现，D选项“人工智能工具有助于但也会损害员工绩效”为最佳标题。故选D。 四 、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，计10分) 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词) 46.

(write) 【答案】written 【解析】 【详解】句意：文字在写在纸上之前就出现在动物的骨头和竹子上。主语they指代前面的“Texts”，与谓语write之间是动宾关系，因此空处用过去分词written与were一起构成一般过去时的被动语态。故填written。 五、阅读表达(共5题；每题2分，计10分) 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。(每题答案不超过10个词) When Friday could talk well, I asked him a thousand questions about his country and the people there. I understood that they were cannibals. “They sometimes came to the island to eat their prisoners,” he said. He also told me that there were seventeen white men like me in his country. One day Friday and I were standing together on top of a hill in the west part of the island when he suddenly shouted, “ Look, Master, My country!” He was pointing at the land in the distance. There was a big smile on his face. “Do you want to go back there, Friday?”I asked him. “Oh, yes!” was his reply, “ Is it far? Can I go there by boat?” “Yes,” he replied. I showed him mine. “Too small,” he said. So I took him to see my first boat in the woods, which took me months to make but had never been used because of being too far from the water. It was twenty-three years old now and full of holes. “This boat is good,” he said and then he laughed, “ But it is too old. ” “We can make another one,” I replied. “Then you can go back to your country. ” Friday suddenly looked very sad and I saw tears in his eyes. “Why do you want to send Friday away?” he asked. “Friday doesn’t want to go without Master. ” “I’m not going to send you away, Friday,” I said,“ I’m going to come with you. Come on! Let’s look for a good tree for our boat!” There were lots of big trees in the woods, but it was important to find one near the water. I didn’t want to make the same mistake twice! Friday soon found a good one and we cut it down. We worked hard for a month. When our boat was ready, we pulled it into the water. Then I started to make preparations for our journey. We needed to take a lot of food with us. —Taken from Robinson Crusoe 56. How many white men were there in all in Friday’s country and on “my” island? ____________________________________________ 57.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese Festival. Many places in China hold dragon boat races to celebrate the festival. On that day, every family will eat rice dumplings. We had many lessons about the festival, from History to Labour. Our history teacher told us the story of Qu Yuan who drowned himself in the Miluo River on that day. We also read aloud some famous lines from his poems in the Chinese lesson. Then came my favorite part—Art and Labor. We expressed our own understanding about this festival by singing, drawing or making posters. We had fun making our own rice dumplings with reed leaves and different fillings. We couldn’t stop laughing when we saw rice dumplings in different shapes. These lessons are not only interesting but also meaningful. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：时态为“一般现在时”和“一般过去时”； ③提示：写作要点已给出，考生应注意不要遗漏，适当添加细节，并突出写作重点。 [写作步骤] 第一步，承接开头，介绍端午节的相关情况； 第二步，具体阐述课堂内容； 第三步，总结感受。 [亮点词汇] ①from...to...从……到…… ②have fun玩得开心 ③not only...but also...不仅……而且…… [高分句型] ①Our history teacher told us the story of Qu Yuan who drowned himself in the Miluo River on that day.（who引导的定语从句） ②We couldn’t stop laughing when we saw rice dumplings in different shapes.（when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
