Michelle Boyland came up with the brilliant idea of renting out a billboard after seeing a story on TV. “Everybody knew about it except Ryan. And I told him that I needed to talk to him and we’re going to meet at his older brother’s apartment in the parking lot,” Michelle Boyland explained, adding that the parking lot was near where the billboard was located. “Ryan had tons of questions as usual. ‘Why are we meeting? How come we can’t talk about it right now over the phone?’ I said, ‘This is very important. I need to see your face.’” When his mother, brother and sister took him to see the billboard in person, Ryan Boyland had no idea what was going to happen until he finally looked up and saw his photo towering above the roadway. “The first thing I thought was, how long it had been there and how many people had already seen me before I had seen me? A moment of mild panic kind of entered me,” he recalled. “In the past, I have been a little bit hesitant about receiving such attention and seeing my head 20 feet off the ground was a bit of a shock.” The billboard, which reads, “Congratulations Doctor Ryan Boyland Class of 2023 University of Nebraska Medical Center,” stands tall in front of Bellevue University in Bellevue, Nebraska. “I chose that location because it’s right down the street from the church that we attend, as wellas right down the street from the high school that Ryan went to 10 years ago,” Michelle Boyland said, adding, “I wanted it to inspire our community. I wanted it to inspire the kids, little kids, middle schoolers that they can be doctors too.” Ryan Boyland has gotten ready to move to Denver to begin his career as an emergency medicine residency(住院医生) in Denver Health. “He’s accomplished a lot in a very short period of time and I’m looking forward to many more accomplishments in the future. Hopefully, he’ll start taking credit for it a little bit better,” dad Roosevelt Boyland said. 1. How did Ryan Boyland feel when hearing the meeting place? A. Nervous. B. Excited. C. Confused. D. Ridiculous. 2 Why did Michelle Boyland choose to rent out the billboard in front of Bellevue University? A. Because it is where Ryan graduated. B. Because it is a place with large flow of people. C. Because it is the most obvious place in the city. D. Because it is a good place to inspire students in the neighbourhood. 3 What can we infer from Roosevelt Boyland’s words in the last paragraph? A. He has high hopes for his son. B. He believes his son will be the best doctor. C. He believes the billboard will inspire his son. D. He is not satisfied with what his son has achieved. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Ryan Boyland从医学院毕业，成为家族中第一个医生的故事，以及他的家人为了庆祝这一成就而租下广告牌的经过。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Ryan had tons of questions as usual. “Why are we meeting? How come we can’t talk about it right now over the phone? ” I said, “This is very important. I need to see your face.””(Ryan像往常一样有很多问题。“我们为什么要见面？为什么现在不能在电话上谈论？”我说，“这非常重要。我需要看到你的脸。”)”可知，当Ryan Boyland听到会面地点时，他感到困惑。这是因为他的母亲Michelle Boyland告诉他需要面对面谈话，并且地点是在他哥哥的公寓停车场，这让他产生了疑问。故选C项。 2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段““I chose that location because it’s right down the street from the church that we attend, as well as right down the street from the high school that Ryan went to 10 years ago,” Michelle Boyland said, adding, “I wanted it to inspire our community. I wanted it to inspire the kids, little kids, middle schoolers that they can be doctors too.” (Michelle Boyland说：“我选择那个位置是因为它就在我们参加的教堂的街道对面，也正好在Ryan十年前上的高中的街道对面。”她补充说，“我希望它能激励我们的社区。我希望它能激励孩子们，小孩子，初中生，他们也能成为医生。”)”可知，Michelle Boyland选择在Bellevue大学前租下广告牌，是因为这个地点靠近他们常去的教堂，并且也靠近Ryan十年前就读的高中。她希望这个广告牌能够激励社区的孩子们，让他们知道他们也能成为医生。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““He’s accomplished a lot in a very short period of time and I’m looking forward to many more accomplishments in the future. Hopefully, he’ll start taking credit for it a little bit better,”dad Roosevelt Boyland said. (他在很短的时间内取得了很多成就，我期待他未来会有更多的成就。希望他能更好地开始为此获得认可，父亲Roosevelt Boyland说。)”可知，他对儿子有很高的期望。他说儿子在很短的时间内取得了很多成就，并期待他未来会有更多的成就。故选A项。 B With artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technology improving at impressive rates, there are some who worry that there’s a risk of artistic and creative people being replaced. A new study by the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology, however, is showing exactly why that can’t and shouldn’t happen. It all started when the South Korean company posed this question: Can robots replace conductors? Over a year ago, work to develop automaton (自动化) began. At first, it was designed like a machine, and didn’t live up to expectations. Then the company sought ways to improve it. In the end, it was given two arms with joints to copy wrists and elbows, allowing it to move a stick similarly to how a human conductor would move it. It was named the EverR 6 robot, and stands at 1.8 meters. It was finally time to figure out how it could follow through on its musical role. “We got involved in this project to see how far robots can go in more creative fields like the arts, and what the challenges are,” Dong-wook Lee, a senior researcher at the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology said. In order to pull this off, Dong-wook Lee cooperated with the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. The 12-minute piece they planned to perform — “Feel” by Il-hoon Son, was created specifically for this event. It was created with the strengths of both EverR 6 and the human conductor, Soo-yeol Choi, in mind. To pull off this impressive performance, the robot was preprogrammed to conduct through 30 cycles of beat patterns. Meanwhile, it was up to the human conductor to lead the orchestra in creating an improvisational (即兴的) score, adding depth to the otherwise planned piece. Together, they pulled off a masterful performance that the audience seemed more than happy to have had the opportunity to witness it firsthand! With the concert having gone so well, this is only the start of EverR 6. Still, no matter the improvements they’re able to make to this robot, the human conductor isn’t concerned about being replaced. “Let’s leave the accuracy to the robots,” Soo-yeol Choi said, “but the musical and artistic aspects to a human conductor.” 4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The function of the EverR 6 robot. B. The development of the EverR 6 robot. C. The EverR 6 robot’s role as a conductor. D. The difficulty in designing the EverR 6 robot. 5. What can be learned about “Feel”? A. It is a piece familiar to the audience. B. It is a piece showing the human-robot cooperation. C. It is the only piece that EverR 6 will perform. D. It is a piece requiring great ability to conduct. 6. What is Soo-yeol Choi’s attitude towards EverR 6? A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了随着人工智能和机器人技术以惊人的速度发展，一些人担心艺术和创意人才有被取代的风险。然而，韩国工业技术研究所（Korean Institute of Industrial Technology）的一项新研究恰恰说明了为什么这不能也不应该发生。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Over a year ago, work to develop automaton (自动化) began. At first, it was designed like a machine, and didn’t live up to expectations. Then the company sought ways to improve it. In the end, it was given two arms with joints to copy wrists and elbows, allowing it to move a stick similarly to how a human conductor would move it. It was named the EverR 6 robot, and stands at 1.8 meters.(一年多以前，开发自动化的工作开始了。起初，它被设计得像一台机器，并没有达到人们的期望。然后，该公司寻求改进方法。最后，它被赋予了两条带有关节的手臂来模仿手腕和肘部，使它能够像人类指挥一样移动一根棍子。它被命名为EverR 6机器人，身高1.8米。)”可知，第二段主要讲述了EverR 6机器人的研发过程。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The 12-minute piece they planned to perform— “Feel” by Il-hoon Son, was created specifically for this event. It was created with the strengths of both EverR 6 and the human conductor, Soo-yeol Choi, in mind.(他们计划演奏的12分钟的曲目是Il-hoon Son的《Feel》，这是专门为此次活动制作的。这首歌是在考虑到EverR 6和人类指挥家Soo-yeol Choi的长处后创作的。)”可推知，“Feel”是一个展示人机合作的作品。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Let’s leave the accuracy to the robots,” Soo-yeol Choi said, “but the musical and artistic aspects to a human conductor.”(“让我们把精确度留给机器人吧，”Soo-yeol Choi说，“而把音乐和艺术方面的工作留给人类指挥。”)”可推知，Soo-yeol Choi对这个机器人持支持的态度。故选C。 C When did you last write a letter? Properly write one — by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail, is the writing on the wall for traditional pen and paper? Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it’s not time to ditch your ballpoint or fountain pen yet. These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But crafting a handwritten document is unique: it requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation. Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly relevant for students, where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile feedback (触觉反馈)” to the brain that contact between pen and paper does. BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary, who says that taking notes by hand involves cognitive (认知的) engagement in summarising, paraphrasing, organising, concept and vocabulary mapping. Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers. There are everyday benefits of using pen and paper too. Scribbling (匆忙书写) notes, shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC, “In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.” So, while digital skills remain important, don’t write off your pens and pencil s yet— especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power. 7. Which word can replace the underlined word “ditch” in the first paragraph? A. Abandon. B. Preserve. C. Conduct. D. Grasp. 8. Which of the following belongs to the features of writing by hand? A. It can be edited and delivered online. B. It develops people’s cognitive abilities. C. It lacks the “tactile feedback” to the brain. D. It develops motor skills throughout your body. 9. What did Katherine Moller suggest in Paragraph 4? A. People are supposed to turn off the virtual world. B. Scribbling notes, shopping lists, or messages saves time. C. It is quite convenient to communicate with others online. D. Writing by hand is an important way to care about others. 10. What might be the best title for the text? A. There are Disadvantages of Typing B. You can Reduce Your Time Spent on Computer C. There are Many Ways to Improve Your Handwriting D. Don’t Give up Your Handwriting even in Digital World 【答案】7. A 8. B 9. D 10. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。说明了虽然如今数字科技快捷方便，但不要放弃你的笔，用手书写在很多方面对人们都有好处。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits(有些人声称写作仍然有很多好处)”可知，一些人认为用手书写东西有益，因此可推知，我们不应该丢掉我们用于书写的笔，故划线词意思是“抛弃”。故选A。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly relevant for students, where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile feedback (触觉反馈)” to the brain that contact between pen and paper does. BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary, who says that taking notes by hand involves cognitive (认知的) engagement in summarising, paraphrasing, organising, concept and vocabulary mapping.(一些专家认为，使用传统的笔和纸对大脑有益。这对学生来说尤其重要，因为在笔记本电脑上打字被认为缺乏对大脑的“触觉反馈”，而笔和纸之间的接触则没有。BBC职场网站援引卡尔加里大学的海蒂·罗辛的话说，手写笔记涉及总结、释义、组织、概念和词汇映射等认知参与)”可知，手写可以发展人们的认知能力。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.(在一个上网收发电子邮件或快速发短信如此容易的世界里，知道有人选择关闭虚拟世界与你共度时光是如此私人和珍贵)”可知，手写是关心他人的一种重要方式。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So, while digital skills remain important, don’t write off your pens and pencil s yet— especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power.(所以，虽然数字技能仍然很重要，但不要放弃你的钢笔和铅笔——尤其是当你的智能手机、平板电脑或笔记本电脑没电的时候)”结合文章说明了虽然如今数字科技快捷方便，但不要放弃你的笔，用手书写在很多方面对人们都有好处。可知，D选项“即使在数字世界也不要放弃手写”最符合文章标题。故选D。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sharing is regarded as both a social morality and a personal virtue.

C 13. E 14. B 15. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了分享和快乐之间的关系。 【11题详解】 根据上文“Sharing is regarded as both a social morality and a personal virtue. It is a wonderful thing that increases pleasure and reduces sorrow. Then why do we tend to be happier when sharing with others?(分享被认为是一种社会道德和个人美德。它能增加快乐，减少悲伤，这是一件奇妙的事情。那么，为什么我们在与他人分享时往往更快乐呢？)”结合后文主要解释了分享和快乐之间的关系。故D选项“让我们讨论分享和快乐是如何相关的”符合语境，故选D。 【12题详解】 根据后文“People from these cultures open up their homes to traveling visitors and those curious about learning their cultural practices.(来自这些文化的人们向旅行的游客和那些对了解他们的文化习俗感到好奇的人敞开家门)”可知，后文提到有些文化的人欢迎他人来了解自己的文化，说明这些文化乐于分享。故C选项“有些文化比其他文化更鼓励分享”符合语境，故选C。 【13题详解】 根据后文“Oxytocin helps build trust, relieve stress and anxiety, improve immune (免疫的) function and benefit your overall wellbeing as a result.(催产素有助于建立信任，缓解压力和焦虑，提高免疫功能，从而有益于你的整体健康)”可知，后文提到了催产素的作用，推测本句是在说明催产素的来源。故E选项“当一个人分享或感到感激时，他们的大脑会释放催产素”符合语境，故选E。 【14题详解】 根据本段内容“When you share your belongings with others, you are expressing trust in their ability to keep your possession safe and out of harm’s way. If your trust pays off in them, you experience a sense of happiness. We tend to be more emotionally satisfied and happy when we are able to build trust in our relationships. Trust and happiness are closely related experience.(当你与他人分享你的财产时，你是在表达对他们有能力保护你的财产安全、不受伤害的信任。如果你对他们的信任得到了回报，你会体验到一种幸福感。当我们能够在人际关系中建立信任时，我们往往会在情感上更加满足和快乐。信任和幸福是密切相关的经验)”可知，本段的主旨是分享可以帮助建立与他人的信任，B选项Trust对应后文trust。故B选项“分享有助于建立信任”符合语境，故选B。 【15题详解】 根据上文“Humans are social animals.(人类是社会性动物)”以及后文“If we happen to have encouraging and supportive friends and family to rely on, we are less prone (倾向于) to anxiety and depression. However, if we tend to lack a reliable social support system in our lives, our happiness can suffer. Sharing helps build new relationships. Social interactions advance your health, wealth and general wellbeing.(如果我们有鼓励和支持的朋友和家人可以依靠，我们就不那么容易焦虑和抑郁。然而，如果我们在生活中缺乏可靠的社会支持系统，我们的幸福就会受到影响。分享有助于建立新的关系。社交互动会促进你的健康、财富和整体幸福感)”可知，后文主要提到了社会支持会影响我们的幸福。故F选项“我们的幸福在很大程度上取决于社会支持的存在”符合语境，故选F。 第三部分英语知识运用 （共两节，满分37.5分） 第一节完形填空 （共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was the end of the school day, and I was tired.

The firm’s technology is widely regarded as being superior ______ that of its opponent. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】to 【解析】 【详解】考查介词。句意：人们普遍认为这家公司的技术优于它的对手。superior to是固定短语，意为“优于”，因此空格处用介词to，故填to。 33. We might have to employ someone ______ (temporary) as a secretary until we can fill the post. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】temporarily 【解析】 【详解】考查副词。句意：在我们找到合适人选之前，我们可能得暂时雇一个人做秘书。副词temporarily作状语修饰动词employ。故填temporarily。 34. He ______(arrest) when customs officers found drugs in his bag. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】was arrested 【解析】 【详解】考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：海关人员在他的包里发现毒品后将他逮捕。他是被逮捕，由when customs officers found可知，句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，因此空格处是一般过去时的被动语态，主语He是单数，因此空格处是was arrested。故填was arrested。 35.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】located 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：延安，一个位于陕西省北部的城市，在过去的几年里，它的旅游业取得了很大的进步。句中谓语是has seen，空格处用非谓语动词，Yan’an和locate之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填located。 37. Sales director is a position________ communication ability is just as important as sales skills. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】where 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：“销售经理一个职位,在这个职位上,交流能力和销售能力一样重要。”分析句子，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词position，先行词指抽象地点，关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。 38.

The idea ______ you can make progress without hard work is quite wrong. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】that 【解析】 【详解】考查同位语从句。句意：认为不努力就能取得进步的想法是完全错误的。说明idea的内容，引导同位语从句，从句不缺少成分，句意完整，故用that。故填that。 第四部分写作 （共三节；满分55分） 第一节句子考查（共7小题;51~54小题每空0.5分；55~57每小题3分，满分15分） 根据下面各个句子的要求，完成、改写或翻译句子。 41.

The manager received a call from an applicant who asked for further information.（用分词改写句子） ___________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The manager received a call from an applicant asking for further information. 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：经理接到了一个求职者的电话，他请求获取更多信息。原句中用who引导的定语从句对先行词applicant进行限定说明，可以将定语从句改为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词applicant，名词applicant和动词ask之间是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词作定语。故答案是The manager received a call from an applicant asking for further information. 46. The experts are examining the problem of food safety in this area.（用被动语态改写） ____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The problem of food safety in this area is being examined by the experts. 【解析】 【详解】考查被动语态。句意：专家们正在研究这个地区的食品安全问题。此处改为现在进行时的被动语态，主语为The problem of food safety in this area，谓语用单数。故改为The problem of food safety in this area is being examined by the experts.。 47. 让我感到有趣的是袋鼠不能倒退行走，只能勇往直前。（用名词性从句翻译句子） ____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】What makes me interested is that kangaroos cannot walk backwards, but move forwards. 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句和时态。引导主语从句，从句缺少主语，指物应用what；表示“让某人感到有趣”短语为make sb. interested；后跟that引导的表语从句，主语为复数名词kangaroos；表示“不能倒退行走”为cannot walk backwards；表示“只能勇往直前”为but move forwards。 故翻译为What makes me interested is that kangaroos cannot walk backwards, but move forwards. 第二节应用文写作 （满分15分） 48. 假定你是李华，是一名高中生。最近，你将参加市中学生英语演讲比赛。请以“Positive Attitude”为主题写一篇演讲稿，内容包括： 1.积极的人生态度的重要性; 2.如何培养积极的人生态度。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应的位置作答。 Good morning, everyone. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A possible version: Good morning, everyone.

Rachel sat at the desk watching her classmates busy preparing the water jars and paints. She understood why Mrs. Weston asked her to sit down and got Lisa to fetch everything for her. It was always a disaster when Rachel tried to do art! Rachel sighed and reached out to dip her brush in some black paint and—oh, no! She knocked over the jar. The water spread across the desk and drowned the paper. Lisa called Mrs. Weston to see what Rachel had done. Rachel went red in the face. She jumped to her feet to get a cloth. Her chair fell over backwards. She turned round and her paintbrush caught Lisa across the face, giving her a black moustache. Lisa was so surprised that she fell back against a wire bookstand. It came crashing down and the books went all over the floor. How clumsy (笨拙的)! Rachel thought as she went home on the bus. The bus stopped outside her house. She jumped up and her elbow (肘部) knocked a woman’s hat right over her eyes. Oh, no! Rachel said sorry, got off and ran indoors. Mum wasn’t in the kitchen but lay in bed as she caught an awful cold. Rachel offered to make a cup of tea but Mum would rather wait for Dad. Rachel sighed. She understood Mum was afraid that she would spill (溅出) it. “But would you go to Mrs. Willow for some cold medicine?” asked Mum. Rachel turned to the door at once. “But Mrs. Willow’s house is full of beautiful things, so if she asks you to come in, you’d better say no.” Rachel sighed and ran out. Mrs. Willow was an old lady with white hair and sharp blue eyes living in an old house. She opened the door and invited her in. Rachel said why she came and that she preferred to wait outside remembering her mother’s warning. Mrs. Willow insisted Rachel come inside. Rachel took a deep breath and stepped in. She looked round Mrs. Willow’s sitting room and saw at once why Mum had been worried. Paragraph 1: There were beautiful things everywhere — pretty vases and pots. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With a smile, Mrs. Willow comforted her saying it had been broken before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: There were beautiful things everywhere — pretty vases and pots. Rachel stood very still, afraid of knocking something over. Mrs. Willow handed Rachel a small brown bottle. Rachel couldn’t wait to get away, feeling any minute there would be a disaster. She thanked her and was about to turn to the door when something brushed against her leg. Rachel was so surprised that she jumped backwards. It was a cat! But her elbow hit a vase and it fell to the floor, broken. How awkward! Paragraph 2: With a smile, Mrs. Willow comforted her saying it had been broken before. Rachel sighed and stared at her. “I did, when I was young. You couldn’t have been as clumsy as I was,” said Mrs. Willow, her sharp blue eyes shining. “Keep telling yourself you are a swan and it will work.” Rachel doubtfully said that several times. After they cleared up the vase, they drank tea from china cups and ate cakes off delicate plates and Rachel didn’t break another thing. It was a kind of magic. Rachel smiled. Another possible version: Paragraph 1: There were beautiful things everywhere — pretty vases and pots. All the treasures seemed to boast a long history and thus priceless. “Wow, it is really a land of wonder.” Rachel couldn’t help admiring the elegance of the china figures and vases. Mom’s words echoing in her mind, but curiosity still got the upper hand. She reached for one of them, but unfortunately, the vase slipped off her hand and lay in pieces on the floor. Her heart missing a beat, she felt terribly worried. Paragraph 2: With a smile, Mrs. Willow comforted her saying it had been broken before. Seeing Mrs. Willow’s sharp blue eyes filled with warmth and affection, Rachel felt extremely regretful for her clumsy behavior. “If I had been more careful, the disaster wouldn’t have happened.” Rachel knew what Mrs. Willow said might be an excuse to relieve her uneasiness and embarrassment. She made a resolution in her heart that from the day on she would never be so careless and swore to be a kind and thoughtful person like Mrs. Willow. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Rachel是一个笨拙的人，总是会破坏周围的东西，一天Rachel的妈妈生病了，妈妈想让她去Mrs. Willow家要一些感冒药，并嘱咐她Mrs. Willow家里有很多精致的东西，最好不要进她的家门。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“到处都是美丽的东西——漂亮的瓷器和精致的花瓶。”可知，第一段可描写Rachel进了Mrs. Willow家门后，行为举止很拘束，最后还是打碎了一个瓶子。 ②由第二段首句内容“Willow太太微笑着安慰她说，它以前就坏了”可知，第二段可描写Mrs. Willow安慰鼓励Rachel并很好地招待了她。 2.续写线索：一动不动地站着——迫不及待想离开——撞到花瓶——Mrs. Willow安慰并鼓励——享用食物 3.词汇激 活行为类 ①递给：hand sb sth/pass sth to sb ②跳：jump/leap ③清理：clear up/clean up 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/astonished ②尴尬：awkward/embarrassing 【点睛】[高分句型1] Rachel was so surprised that she jumped backwards.（由so…that引导的结果状语从句） [高分句型2] “I did, when I was young.

Michelle Boyland came up with the brilliant idea of renting out a billboard after seeing a story on TV. “Everybody knew about it except Ryan. And I told him that I needed to talk to him and we’re going to meet at his older brother’s apartment in the parking lot,” Michelle Boyland explained, adding that the parking lot was near where the billboard was located. “Ryan had tons of questions as usual. ‘Why are we meeting? How come we can’t talk about it right now over the phone?’ I said, ‘This is very important. I need to see your face.’” When his mother, brother and sister took him to see the billboard in person, Ryan Boyland had no idea what was going to happen until he finally looked up and saw his photo towering above the roadway. “The first thing I thought was, how long it had been there and how many people had already seen me before I had seen me? A moment of mild panic kind of entered me,” he recalled. “In the past, I have been a little bit hesitant about receiving such attention and seeing my head 20 feet off the ground was a bit of a shock.” The billboard, which reads, “Congratulations Doctor Ryan Boyland Class of 2023 University of Nebraska Medical Center,” stands tall in front of Bellevue University in Bellevue, Nebraska. “I chose that location because it’s right down the street from the church that we attend, as wellas right down the street from the high school that Ryan went to 10 years ago,” Michelle Boyland said, adding, “I wanted it to inspire our community. I wanted it to inspire the kids, little kids, middle schoolers that they can be doctors too.” Ryan Boyland has gotten ready to move to Denver to begin his career as an emergency medicine residency(住院医生) in Denver Health. “He’s accomplished a lot in a very short period of time and I’m looking forward to many more accomplishments in the future. Hopefully, he’ll start taking credit for it a little bit better,” dad Roosevelt Boyland said. 1. How did Ryan Boyland feel when hearing the meeting place? A. Nervous. B. Excited. C. Confused. D. Ridiculous. 2. Why did Michelle Boyland choose to rent out the billboard in front of Bellevue University? A. Because it is where Ryan graduated. B. Because it is a place with large flow of people. C. Because it is the most obvious place in the city. D. Because it is a good place to inspire students in the neighbourhood. 3. What can we infer from Roosevelt Boyland’s words in the last paragraph? A. He has high hopes for his son. B. He believes his son will be the best doctor. C. He believes the billboard will inspire his son. D. He is not satisfied with what his son has achieved. B With artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technology improving at impressive rates, there are some who worry that there’s a risk of artistic and creative people being replaced. A new study by the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology, however, is showing exactly why that can’t and shouldn’t happen. It all started when the South Korean company posed this question: Can robots replace conductors? Over a year ago, work to develop automaton (自动化) began. At first, it was designed like a machine, and didn’t live up to expectations. Then the company sought ways to improve it. In the end, it was given two arms with joints to copy wrists and elbows, allowing it to move a stick similarly to how a human conductor would move it. It was named the EverR 6 robot, and stands at 1.8 meters. It was finally time to figure out how it could follow through on its musical role. “We got involved in this project to see how far robots can go in more creative fields like the arts, and what the challenges are,” Dong-wook Lee, a senior researcher at the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology said. In order to pull this off, Dong-wook Lee cooperated with the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. The 12-minute piece they planned to perform — “Feel” by Il-hoon Son, was created specifically for this event. It was created with the strengths of both EverR 6 and the human conductor, Soo-yeol Choi, in mind. To pull off this impressive performance, the robot was preprogrammed to conduct through 30 cycles of beat patterns. Meanwhile, it was up to the human conductor to lead the orchestra in creating an improvisational (即兴的) score, adding depth to the otherwise planned piece. Together, they pulled off a masterful performance that the audience seemed more than happy to have had the opportunity to witness it firsthand! With the concert having gone so well, this is only the start of EverR 6. Still, no matter the improvements they’re able to make to this robot, the human conductor isn’t concerned about being replaced. “Let’s leave the accuracy to the robots,” Soo-yeol Choi said, “but the musical and artistic aspects to a human conductor.” 4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The function of the EverR 6 robot. B. The development of the EverR 6 robot. C. The EverR 6 robot’s role as a conductor. D. The difficulty in designing the EverR 6 robot. 5. What can be learned about “Feel”? A. It is a piece familiar to the audience. B. It is a piece showing the human-robot cooperation. C. It is the only piece that EverR 6 will perform. D. It is a piece requiring great ability to conduct. 6. What is Soo-yeol Choi’s attitude towards EverR 6? A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful. C When did you last write a letter? Properly write one — by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail, is the writing on the wall for traditional pen and paper? Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it’s not time to ditch your ballpoint or fountain pen yet. These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But crafting a handwritten document is unique: it requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation. Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly relevant for students, where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile feedback (触觉反馈)” to the brain that contact between pen and paper does. BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary, who says that taking notes by hand involves cognitive (认知的) engagement in summarising, paraphrasing, organising, concept and vocabulary mapping. Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers. There are everyday benefits of using pen and paper too. Scribbling (匆忙书写) notes, shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC, “In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.” So, while digital skills remain important, don’t write off your pens and pencil s yet— especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power. 7. Which word can replace the underlined word “ditch” in the first paragraph? A. Abandon. B. Preserve. C. Conduct. D. Grasp. 8. Which of the following belongs to the features of writing by hand? A. It can be edited and delivered online. B. It develops people’s cognitive abilities. C. It lacks the “tactile feedback” to the brain. D. It develops motor skills throughout your body. 9. What did Katherine Moller suggest in Paragraph 4? A. People are supposed to turn off the virtual world. B. Scribbling notes, shopping lists, or messages saves time. C. It is quite convenient to communicate with others online. D. Writing by hand is an important way to care about others. 10. What might be the best title for the text? A. There are Disadvantages of Typing B. You can Reduce Your Time Spent on Computer C. There are Many Ways to Improve Your Handwriting D. Don’t Give up Your Handwriting even in Digital World 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sharing is regarded as both a social morality and a personal virtue.

It is one of the primary ways we learn to communicate.____12____ People from these cultures open up their homes to traveling visitors and those curious about learning their cultural practices. However, sharing doesn’t always need to be this grand gesture. Simple acts like exchanging compliments can also brighten up a person’s day and make them feel more positive.

Trust and happiness are closely related experience.

Rachel sat at the desk watching her classmates busy preparing the water jars and paints. She understood why Mrs. Weston asked her to sit down and got Lisa to fetch everything for her. It was always a disaster when Rachel tried to do art! Rachel sighed and reached out to dip her brush in some black paint and—oh, no! She knocked over the jar. The water spread across the desk and drowned the paper. Lisa called Mrs. Weston to see what Rachel had done. Rachel went red in the face. She jumped to her feet to get a cloth. Her chair fell over backwards. She turned round and her paintbrush caught Lisa across the face, giving her a black moustache. Lisa was so surprised that she fell back against a wire bookstand. It came crashing down and the books went all over the floor. How clumsy (笨拙的)! Rachel thought as she went home on the bus. The bus stopped outside her house. She jumped up and her elbow (肘部) knocked a woman’s hat right over her eyes. Oh, no! Rachel said sorry, got off and ran indoors. Mum wasn’t in the kitchen but lay in bed as she caught an awful cold. Rachel offered to make a cup of tea but Mum would rather wait for Dad. Rachel sighed. She understood Mum was afraid that she would spill (溅出) it. “But would you go to Mrs. Willow for some cold medicine?” asked Mum. Rachel turned to the door at once. “But Mrs. Willow’s house is full of beautiful things, so if she asks you to come in, you’d better say no.” Rachel sighed and ran out. Mrs. Willow was an old lady with white hair and sharp blue eyes living in an old house. She opened the door and invited her in. Rachel said why she came and that she preferred to wait outside remembering her mother’s warning. Mrs. Willow insisted Rachel come inside. Rachel took a deep breath and stepped in. She looked round Mrs. Willow’s sitting room and saw at once why Mum had been worried. Paragraph 1: There were beautiful things everywhere — pretty vases and pots. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With a smile, Mrs. Willow comforted her saying it had been broken before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1—5 ABABA 6. 1,500 7. ancient Rome 8. status 9. education 10. literature 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
