I love reading books & magazines, and I’m learning so many useful tips about healthy living, daily life, etc. Women’s Health Women’s Health has a unique content. You can find various interesting information about healthy living or exercises you can do at home. I also love their writers because they explain every topic so simple that you can even understand biological articles. Healthy Food Guide I totally recommend it to everyone because it has lots of useful information about being healthy during your daily life. In this magazine, you can find articles about foods you often eat but don’t have much idea what it contains or if they’re healthy. If you are searching for new diets, this magazine gives you all the information. Time Out Time Out is a well-known magazine and it’s free in my city. Every time I see a Time Out magazine, I get it because it has lots of useful tips. I got Time Out London when I was in London, and I discovered new restaurants, galleries, museums, and events. This magazine has various information about the city life. For example, it gives you the events that are happening near you. It gives you tips for the railway stations and other transportation choices. La Cucina Italiana If you love cooking Italian food, this magazine is for you! It has lots of recipes and also restaurant reviews. You can also find popular restaurants near you in this magazine. I’ve also read articles by famous chefs from my city. 1. What can we find in Healthy Food Guide? A. Ways to keep fit. B. Tips on cooking. C. Different eating habits. D. Information of new restaurants. 2. What can we read to find comments on restaurants? A. Time Out. B. Women’s Health. C. Healthy Food Guide. D. La Cucina Italiana. 3. What can we learn about the author? A. He lives in London. B. He loves and enjoys life. C. He often goes travelling. D. He likes collecting recipes. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了几本作者很喜欢的杂志。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Healthy Food Guide部分“I totally recommend it to everyone because it has lots of useful information about being healthy during your daily life.(我完全推荐它给每个人，因为它有很多关于在日常生活中保持健康的有用信息)”可知，我们可以在Healthy Food Guide中找到保持健康的方法。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据La Cucina Italiana部分“It has lots of recipes and also restaurant reviews.(它有很多菜谱和餐馆评论)”可知，我们可以阅读La Cucina Italiana来查找对于餐馆的评论。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I love reading books & magazines, and I’m learning so many useful tips about healthy living, daily life, etc.(我喜欢阅读书籍和杂志，并且我正在学习许多关于健康生活、日常生活等的有用技巧)”可知，作者喜欢阅读，并正在学习关于健康和生活的有用技巧，推测作者是热爱生活并享受生活的。故选B项。 B Alongside her impressive musical career, Leona Lewis is also the owner of a vegan (素食主义的) coffee shop, Coffee And Plants. She has great enthusiasm for the coffee shop and reveals the drink flavors that they’ve been working on lately. “We’ve just rolled out our new pumpkin drink at the coffee shop. It’s called Pumpkin Pie, and it’s really good! We use all real pumpkin puree, not flavored syrup.” Coffee And Plants is a real passion project for Lewis, being fully plant-based. She has a long history of animal activism (行动主义), starting with going vegetarian (素食者) at the age of 12 after going on shopping trips with her mum and seeing protesters with animal testing signs. “I was so upset, I said, ‘Mum, I have to help the animals’,” she says. “That became my mission as a kid, and it’s fed into every aspect of my life.” Her animal activism grew alongside her fame: in 2011 she supported a campaign to ban the use of wild animals in circuses, and in 2013 she released a cruelty-free makeup line with The Body Shop. When it came to opening a coffee shop, making it plant-based was a no-brainer. “I wanted it to be plant-based because I’m plant-based,” she says. “I would often go into coffee shops and see milk cartons piled up high and think, how many cows are being milked for this? The dairy industry and mass farming—it’s so cruel and harms the environment too.” Environmental awareness is also at the heart of Coffee And Plants, with all cups being recyclable. But ultimately, Lewis is hoping for a more widespread mindset shift. “What we really try and get people to do is actually bring in their own bottles to refill, or we encourage them to sit in and have a coffee in a cup instead,” she explains. “We need a mindset shift where we start to think, OK, we shouldn’t really be using stuff that just goes in the bin.” 4. What does the phrase “rolled out” underlined in the first paragraph mean? A. improved B. discovered C. denied D. launched 5. Why did Lewis decide to be a vegetarian? A. She hated to eat animal meat. B. She wanted to protect animals. C. She was inspired by her mom. D. She was given a great mission. 6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the release of a cruelty-free makeup line? A. To show Lewis influence on business. B. To compare Lewis’ different activities. C. To prove that the makeup line is plant-based. D. To give an example of Lewis’ animal activism. 7. Which of the following statements may Lewis agree with? A. People have to start using reusable things. B. The mind shift is quite easy to accomplish. C. People shouldn’t use cups in the coffee shop. D. Only vegetarians can go into the coffee shop. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了作为素食者的Lewis为保护动物做了很多贡献，并开了一家素食咖啡店，她希望人们可以自带杯子来盛咖啡，减少垃圾。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句前文“She has great enthusiasm for the coffee shop and reveals the drink flavors that they’ve been working on lately.(她对这家咖啡店有着极大的热情，并透露了他们最近正在开发的饮料口味。)”说明这家咖啡店开发了一种新饮料，从而推知划线词句“We’ve just rolled out our new pumpkin drink at the coffee shop.(我们刚刚在咖啡店rolled out新的南瓜饮料。)”其中划线词应为“推出”的意思，与D项同义。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She has a long history of animal activism(行动主义), starting with going vegetarian(素食者) at the age of 12 after going on shopping trips with her mum and seeing protesters with animal testing signs.(她长期致力于动物保护运动，从12岁开始，她和妈妈一起去购物，看到抗议者拿着动物试验的牌子，之后就变成了素食者。)”可知，Lewis决定成为一名素食者是因为她想保护动物。故选B项。 6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Her animal activism grew alongside her fame: in 2011 she supported a campaign to ban the use of wild animals in circuses, and in 2013 she released a cruelty-free makeup line with The Body Shop.(她的动物保护主义伴随着她的名气而增长：2011年，她支持一项禁止在马戏团使用野生动物的运动，2013年，她与The Body Shop合作推出了一个无残忍的化妆品系列。)”可知，作者提到一个无残忍化妆品系列的发布的目的是，列举一个Lewis的动物保护主义的例子。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Environmental awareness is also at the heart of Coffee And Plants, with all cups being recyclable. But ultimately, Lewis is hoping for a more widespread mindset shift. ‘What we really try and get people to do is actually bring in their own bottles to refill, or we encourage them to sit in and have a coffee in a cup instead,’ she explains. ‘We need a mindset shift where we start to think, OK, we shouldn’t really be using stuff that just goes in the bin.’(环保意识也是咖啡和植物的核心，所有的杯子都是可回收的。但最终，Lewis希望更广泛的心态转变。她解释说:‘我们真正试图让人们做的是，把自己的瓶子带进来重新装满，或者我们鼓励他们坐在里面，用杯子喝咖啡。’‘我们需要转变思维方式，开始思考，好吧，我们不应该真的使用那些直接扔进垃圾箱的东西。’)”可知，Lewis会同意这种说法，人们需要转变思维方式，必须开始使用可重复使用的东西。故选A项。 C Disneyland’s opening day, July 17, 1955, was a terrible experience. Rides broke down. Restaurants ran out of food and drink and drinking fountains were in short supply... All in front of a national audience of 90 million, then the largest live broadcast in television history on a day that would be known in Disney history as Black Sunday. But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”. On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees. He thought he could do better. In 1939 he asked two animators (动画片制作者) at his movie studio to work on a plan for an amusement park. By 1952 the idea had expanded into a $1.5 million amusement park proposal that he presented to Burbank. The City Council, which feared such a project would create a carnival (嘉年华) atmosphere, rejected the proposal. Disney counted the rejection as fortunate setback. By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected. The ABC television network offered $5 million in loans and investments if Disney agreed to produce and host a one-hour weekly show called "Disneyland". The deal amounted to months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences, particularly kids, to the park. Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28, 154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success. Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down. 8. What mainly led to Walt Disney’s plan to build his own amusement park? A. His ambition to expand beyond the movie industry. B. His animators’ suggestion on an entertainment plan. C. His wish to create a better place for family recreation. D. His daughters’ unpleasant experience in the Griffith Park. 9. By “Disney counted the rejection as a fortunate setback” in paragraph 3, the author means the rejection ________. A. brought good luck to Disney and his park B. contributed to the difficulty of opening the park C. was viewed as a financial obstacle to the design of the park D. presented Disney with a favorable opportunity to rethink his plan 10. What can be learned about Disneyland from the passage? A. Everything went on smoothly before it opened. B. It spent $5 million on advertising for its opening. C. People’s enthusiasm for it increased despite criticism. D. Only invited guests could get into it on its opening day. 11. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Disneyland: How It All Began B. Disneyland: An Overnight Success C. Disneyland: How It Developed D. Disneyland: A Park with a Long History 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了迪士尼乐园是如何开始的。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees.(迪士尼不喜欢他们经常参观的游乐园，认为它们肮脏、缺乏想象力，由粗鲁的员工经营)”和第三段第一句“He thought he could do better. (他认为他可以做得更好)”可知，他希望创造一个更好的家庭娱乐场所，这导致沃尔特·迪士尼计划建造自己的游乐园。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段划线句后“By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected.(到目前为止，他对主题公园的梦想已经超出了伯班克现有的空间。他搜索了整个南加州的位置。一个160英亩的在洛杉矶南部22英里的橘子园很快被选中)”可知，在被拒绝后，他对游乐园进行了更好的改造。由此可知，划线句是说这次拒绝为迪士尼提供了一个重新考虑计划的有利机会。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒第二段“After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn't listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success.(在疯狂的开放日之后，迪士尼和他的新乐园受到了媒体的批评。媒体预测这场战争将很快结束。但是公众并没有听从。大批游客蜂拥而至，几周之内，迪斯尼乐园就大获成功)”可知，尽管受到批评，但人们对它的热情却与日俱增。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“But Disney's story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called‘Daddy's Day’.(但迪士尼的故事实际上开始于20年前沃尔特·迪士尼所谓的‘爸爸节’)”可知，文章主要是讲迪士尼乐园的开始。故选A。 D Artificial intelligence(AI)models have long surpassed (超过) just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions. Sora is said to perform better than many other existing models with similar functions. The Al model can create video at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices, such as both widescreen videos and vertical videos that we usually see on social media. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output. Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is amazing. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, scientific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details while generating multiple shots with a single video. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water changes as a woman walks by. Sora’s performance wouldn’t be possible without its helpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions. improving the accuracy of output according to the user’s prompts (提示语). However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions like left and right, and find it hard to describe events in the right order. As of February, Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting cybersecurity professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback (反馈) will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals. 12. What is the main focus of paragraphs 2-3? A. Sora’s strengths. B. Sora’s variety. C. Sora’s development. D. Sora’s techniques. 13. How does ChatGPT contributes to Sora’s capabilities? A. By specifying user input. B. By providing verbal feedback. C. By examining sample videos. D. By improving video quality. 14. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 5? A. To stress Sora’s potential safety risks. B. To illustrate Sora’s existing limitations. C. To show Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a space time patch. 15. What can we know about Sora up to now? A. It has been made available to various industries. B. Its commercial release has been called off. C. It has exposed alarming security issues. D. It is undergoing testing and improvement. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了最新的文本到视频模型Sora可以将您的文字转换为视觉质量良好的视频，同时忠实地遵循您的内容说明，文章讲述了这个视频模型的优势以及局限性。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段内容“Sora is said to perform better than many other existing models with similar functions. The Al model can create video at suitable aspect ratios(屏幕高宽比)for different devices, such as both widescreen videos and vertical videos that we usually see on social media. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output.( 据说Sora的性能比许多具有类似功能的现有模型都要好。人工智能模型可以为不同的设备创建合适的宽高比视频，比如我们通常在社交媒体上看到的宽屏视频和垂直视频。它还允许用户在制作高质量版本之前快速测试低质量的内容，这有助于加快输出速度。)”以及第三段的“Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is amazing.( 除此之外，它以逼真和流畅的方式呈现视频的能力令人惊叹。)”可知，这两段主要讲述Sora的优势。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Sora’s performance wouldn’t be possible without its helpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions, improving the accuracy of output according to the user’s prompts(提示语).(如果没有它的助手ChatGPT, Sora的表现是不可能的，ChatGPT可以将简单的句子转换成详细的描述,根据用户提示提高输出的准确性。)”可推知，ChatGPT可以将简单的句子转换成详细的描述，通过特定用户用户输入的提示词，提高准确性，提升了Sora的能力。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段的“However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another.(然而，目前的模式并不完美。它可能无法准确地显示复杂场景中的事物如何移动，也可能无法理解一个动作如何导致另一个动作。)”以及接下来的例子“For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions like left and right, and find it hard to describe events in the right order.( 例如，如果有人在Sora制作的视频中吃了一部分饼干，饼干可能看起来不像被咬过。模型可能会混淆方向，如左和右，并发现很难以正确的顺序描述事件。)”可推断，下文的例子是为了说明Sora的局限性。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“As of February, Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting cybersecurity professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback(反馈)will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals.( 截至今年2月，Sora仍处于测试开发阶段。OpenAI正在邀请网络安全专家对Sora的系统进行随机攻击，旨在测试该模型可能存在的弱点和风险。Sora也向一些视觉艺术家、设计师和电影制作人开放。他们的反馈将帮助OpenAI改进模型，更好地为创意专业人士服务。)”可知，Sora正在测试和改进。故选D。 第二节(共5个小题;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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In daily life, there exist some nutrition myths (谬见) that people firmly believe. ___16___ But research shows that’s not the case. Here are 3 common nutrition myths and what health experts want you to know. MYTH 1: Fresh fruits and vegetables are healthier Despite the long-lasting belief that “fresh is best,” research has found that frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious as fresh. ___17___ And it’s an easy way to make sure there are always fruits and vegetables available at home. One warning: some canned, frozen and dried varieties contain added sugars and fats, so be sure to read nutrition labels, especially on prepared foods. Choose the ones that keep those ingredients to a minimum. MYTH2: All fat is bad ___18___ Instead of this helping us stay slim, rates of overweight and obese people went up significantly. In reality, not all fats are bad. It’s true that certain types, including trans fats, can increase your risk for heart disease or stroke. ___19___ Examples of those include fats from fish, sunflower and some nuts. Good fats also supply energy, produce important hormones, support cell function and aid in the absorption of some nutrients. MYTH 3: Potatoes are bad for you Potatoes have been disliked because of their high GI (升糖指数). However, research has shown that potatoes can actually be beneficial for health. Potatoes are rich in vitamin C, fiber and other nutrients. They are also inexpensive and available year-round. ___20___ A. They can also be a money saver as they are cheaper. B. However, healthy fats can help reduce your health risk. C. For example, plant-based drinks are healthier than dairy milk. D. The healthiest ways to prepare them include baking and boiling. E. If you consume more calories than you burn, you’ll probably get fat. F. Many people replaced calories from fat with calories from added sugar.

However, research has shown that potatoes can actually be beneficial for health. Potatoes are rich in vitamin C, fiber and other nutrients. They are also inexpensive and available year-round.(土豆因其高升糖指数而不受欢迎。然而，研究表明，土豆实际上对健康有益。土豆富含维生素C、纤维和其他营养物质。它们也很便宜，全年都可以买到。)”说明土豆富含营养且价格便宜，实际上对健康有益，选项D“最健康的制作方法包括烘焙和煮沸。”承接上文，土豆的健康制作方法包括烘焙和煮沸，D项中的“them”指代上文中的“Potatoes”。故选D项。 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节：完形填空(共15个小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 In a heartwarming incident that highlights the power of human connection, a woman’s act of kindness saved the life of a struggling homeless man.

I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite. I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us, their branches threatening to pierce (刺破) the blue sky. I saw a roaring river, with slivers of silky black water appearing between crashing white rapids. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service. The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Instead of burying myself in my phone, l focused on something else: my surroundings. I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time. My anger turned to peace, then little interest and, finally, excitement. Standing on the high campsite, I felt the weight of stress melt from my shoulders as I viewed the vast expanse that unfolded below me. The sight that met my startled eyes nearly took my breath away. For the first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad. The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I learned how to start a fire together after several false starts. We cooked together and I ate the sweetest marshmallows I had ever tasted. Dad told me stories of his life, stories I had never heard or perhaps I hadn’t been listening. When the weekend came to an end, I realized I hadn’t thought of my phone once. I hadn’t felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在上高中之前，爸爸送他一部手机，于是他就完全沉迷其中。为了改善这种情况，爸爸带全家去户外野营。因没有信号而无法玩手机的作者大发脾气，但却逐渐发现了自然的美丽和家人的陪伴是更加美好的事情。 【详解】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在作者上高中的前几个月，父母送给他一部手机，整个夏天作者都沉迷于用手机与朋友们发消息，忽略了家人和周围的环境。当父亲宣布假期要去野营时，作者感到很失望，那意味着他不能玩手机了，最终，父亲选择了一个没有手机服务的露营地，这意味着在露营期间，作者无法与外界联系，他感到很生气，但当他第二天早上醒来时，一些事情已经改变了。 【详解】 1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我没有沉迷于我的手机，而是专注于别的事情：我周围的环境。”可知，第一段可描写作者周围的环境及作者情绪上的变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“接下来的四天在许多有趣的活动中转瞬即逝。”可知，第二段可描写四天中作者经历了哪些有趣的活动及通过这次野营作者领悟到的道理。 2.续写线索：欣赏周围的环境——愤怒转为兴奋——没有手机没那么糟糕——野营中有趣的活动——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.结束：come to an end/draw to an end ②.想起：think of/call to mind 情绪类 ①.愤怒：anger/wrath/ indignation ②.坏的：bad/terrible/awful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

I love reading books & magazines, and I’m learning so many useful tips about healthy living, daily life, etc. Women’s Health Women’s Health has a unique content. You can find various interesting information about healthy living or exercises you can do at home. I also love their writers because they explain every topic so simple that you can even understand biological articles. Healthy Food Guide I totally recommend it to everyone because it has lots of useful information about being healthy during your daily life. In this magazine, you can find articles about foods you often eat but don’t have much idea what it contains or if they’re healthy. If you are searching for new diets, this magazine gives you all the information. Time Out Time Out is a well-known magazine and it’s free in my city. Every time I see a Time Out magazine, I get it because it has lots of useful tips. I got Time Out London when I was in London, and I discovered new restaurants, galleries, museums, and events. This magazine has various information about the city life. For example, it gives you the events that are happening near you. It gives you tips for the railway stations and other transportation choices. La Cucina Italiana If you love cooking Italian food, this magazine is for you! It has lots of recipes and also restaurant reviews. You can also find popular restaurants near you in this magazine. I’ve also read articles by famous chefs from my city. 1. What can we find in Healthy Food Guide? A. Ways to keep fit. B. Tips on cooking. C. Different eating habits. D. Information of new restaurants. 2. What can we read to find comments on restaurants? A. Time Out. B. Women’s Health. C. Healthy Food Guide. D. La Cucina Italiana. 3. What can we learn about the author? A. He lives in London. B. He loves and enjoys life. C. He often goes travelling. D. He likes collecting recipes. B Alongside her impressive musical career, Leona Lewis is also the owner of a vegan (素食主义的) coffee shop, Coffee And Plants. She has great enthusiasm for the coffee shop and reveals the drink flavors that they’ve been working on lately. “We’ve just rolled out our new pumpkin drink at the coffee shop. It’s called Pumpkin Pie, and it’s really good! We use all real pumpkin puree, not flavored syrup.” Coffee And Plants is a real passion project for Lewis, being fully plant-based. She has a long history of animal activism (行动主义), starting with going vegetarian (素食者) at the age of 12 after going on shopping trips with her mum and seeing protesters with animal testing signs. “I was so upset, I said, ‘Mum, I have to help the animals’,” she says. “That became my mission as a kid, and it’s fed into every aspect of my life.” Her animal activism grew alongside her fame: in 2011 she supported a campaign to ban the use of wild animals in circuses, and in 2013 she released a cruelty-free makeup line with The Body Shop. When it came to opening a coffee shop, making it plant-based was a no-brainer. “I wanted it to be plant-based because I’m plant-based,” she says. “I would often go into coffee shops and see milk cartons piled up high and think, how many cows are being milked for this? The dairy industry and mass farming—it’s so cruel and harms the environment too.” Environmental awareness is also at the heart of Coffee And Plants, with all cups being recyclable. But ultimately, Lewis is hoping for a more widespread mindset shift. “What we really try and get people to do is actually bring in their own bottles to refill, or we encourage them to sit in and have a coffee in a cup instead,” she explains. “We need a mindset shift where we start to think, OK, we shouldn’t really be using stuff that just goes in the bin.” 4. What does the phrase “rolled out” underlined in the first paragraph mean? A. improved B. discovered C. denied D. launched 5. Why did Lewis decide to be a vegetarian? A. She hated to eat animal meat. B. She wanted to protect animals. C. She was inspired by her mom. D. She was given a great mission. 6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the release of a cruelty-free makeup line? A. To show Lewis influence on business. B. To compare Lewis’ different activities. C. To prove that the makeup line is plant-based. D. To give an example of Lewis’ animal activism. 7. Which of the following statements may Lewis agree with? A. People have to start using reusable things. B. The mind shift is quite easy to accomplish. C. People shouldn’t use cups in the coffee shop. D. Only vegetarians can go into the coffee shop. C Disneyland’s opening day, July 17, 1955, was a terrible experience. Rides broke down. Restaurants ran out of food and drink and drinking fountains were in short supply... All in front of a national audience of 90 million, then the largest live broadcast in television history on a day that would be known in Disney history as Black Sunday. But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”. On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees. He thought he could do better. In 1939 he asked two animators (动画片制作者) at his movie studio to work on a plan for an amusement park. By 1952 the idea had expanded into a $1.5 million amusement park proposal that he presented to Burbank. The City Council, which feared such a project would create a carnival (嘉年华) atmosphere, rejected the proposal. Disney counted the rejection as fortunate setback. By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected. The ABC television network offered $5 million in loans and investments if Disney agreed to produce and host a one-hour weekly show called "Disneyland". The deal amounted to months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences, particularly kids, to the park. Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28, 154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success. Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down. 8 What mainly led to Walt Disney’s plan to build his own amusement park? A. His ambition to expand beyond the movie industry. B. His animators’ suggestion on an entertainment plan. C. His wish to create a better place for family recreation. D. His daughters’ unpleasant experience in the Griffith Park. 9. By “Disney counted the rejection as a fortunate setback” in paragraph 3, the author means the rejection ________.

Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions. Sora is said to perform better than many other existing models with similar functions. The Al model can create video at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices, such as both widescreen videos and vertical videos that we usually see on social media. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output. Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is amazing. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, scientific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details while generating multiple shots with a single video. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water changes as a woman walks by. Sora’s performance wouldn’t be possible without its helpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions. improving the accuracy of output according to the user’s prompts (提示语). However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions like left and right, and find it hard to describe events in the right order. As of February, Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting cybersecurity professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback (反馈) will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals. 12.

To stress Sora’s potential safety risks. B. To illustrate Sora’s existing limitations. C. To show Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a space time patch. 15. What can we know about Sora up to now? A. It has been made available to various industries. B. Its commercial release has been called off. C. It has exposed alarming security issues. D. It is undergoing testing and improvement. 第二节(共5个小题;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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In daily life, there exist some nutrition myths (谬见) that people firmly believe. ___16___ But research shows that’s not the case.

I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite. I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us, their branches threatening to pierce (刺破) the blue sky. I saw a roaring river, with slivers of silky black water appearing between crashing white rapids. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service. The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 CBABC 6-7 AB 8-9 CB 10-12 ACA 13-16 CBAC 17-20 CBAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
