At its best, a family picnic is a mini-vacation: a chance to leave the day-to-day routine behind and spend some time together out under the open sky. These best picnic spots offer a range of experiences.
Poo Poo Point, Issaquah
For kids and adults who have the energy to take on a 2-mile hike uphill, this amusingly named destination in the Issaquah Alps offers huge rewards. After reaching the Chirico Trail, you come to a broad, clear area, with a sweeping view of Lake Sammamish, Issaquah and Bellevue. As for where to set up a picnic camp, there are two picnic tables.
Dr. Jose Rizal Park, Seattle
Located on the northwest corner of Beacon Hill, this park has a sweeping view overlooking Elliott Bay and downtown Seattle. It’s named after Jose Rizal, a brilliant writer, a scientist and a hero in the Philippines struggle for independence. The fantastic Seattle picnic spot also has an area for dogs and walking trails.
Mount Baker Park, Seattle
This lakefront park is one of Seattle Parks’ swimming beaches. It’s open this summer, with lifeguards on duty. The most popular place to picnic is probably near the swimming area, but there are many lovely shady spots in the inland part of the park. The updated playground will attract kids. For biking families, pack your wheels and enjoy a ride along Lake Washington Boulevard.
Richmond Beach Saltwater Park, Seattle
Cross a narrow bridge over the railroad tracks at Saltwater Park in Shoreline and you’re in a world of sun, sea and sand dunes. This is one of Puget Sound’s windy places, so you’ll often spot kiteboarders (风筝冲浪者) playing in the waves nearby. Even on a hot day, you’re likely to find a breeze to keep you cool at this picnic spot in Seattle.
21. Where should you go if you want to go hiking?
A. Poo Poo Point, Issaquah. B. Dr. Jose Rizal Park, Seattle.
C. Mount Baker Park, Seattle. D. Richmond Beach Saltwater Park, Seattle.
22. What can families do in Mount Baker Park?
A. Enjoy kiteboarding. B. Have a city walk.
C. Ride bicycles. D. Visit Jose Rizal Museum.
23. What do the four spots in the text have in common?

Jack Prelutsky is an American poet. He is known for his humorous and fantastic poetry for children, which has earned him numerous awards.
Jack Prelutsky was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1940. As a child, he did not enjoy poetry, finding it boring and pointless. Instead, Prelutsky expressed his artistry through music, taking voice and piano lessons. While Prelutsky claims he got into poetry almost by accident, he also states that he was always a poet. It just took him some time to realize his love for poetry.
Prelutsky explored quite a few options before he found his niche in poetry. He was a folk singer and guitar teacher in Greenwich Village in his late teens and early twenties. Prelutsky also held a variety of odd jobs. He worked as a furniture mover, piano mover, taxicab driver, coal shoveler, fruit picker, truck driver and photographer, among other jobs.
At the age of 23, Prelutsky decided to try illustrating. Just before presenting his illustrations to a children’s book editor, he added a few lines of poetry to the pictures. The editor told him that the illustrations were not publishable but the poems showed the talent. Over the next months and years, Prelutsky worked with the editor to create a collection of animal poems inspired by his love of the Bronx Zoo. His first book, entitled A Gopher in the Garden and Other Animal Poems, was published in 1967.
In addition to writing, Prelutsky has edited various poetry collections and translated poetry from German and Swedish into English. He currently resides in Seattle, where he writes and performs his work. Prelutsky is considered one of the most popular children’s poets. His work pioneered a new era of children’s poetry. In 2006, the Poetry Foundation named Jack Prelutsky the first Children’s Poet Laureate, a position designed to promote poetry for children and raise awareness of the power and relevance of poetry for young people.
24. Why did Prelutsky dislike poetry in his early years?
A. It was too difficult. B. He wasn’t good at it.
C. He thought it meaningless. D. It took up too much of his time.
25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “niche” in paragraph 3?
A. Mistake. B. Dream C. Comprehension. D. Interest.
26. How old was Prelutsky when he published his first book?
A. 23. B. 27. C. 40. D. 66.
27. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a poet. B. To attract poetry lovers.
C. To display some excellent poems. D. To encourage readers to write poems.
C
A recent research suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could hold the potential for predicting sudden cardiac (心脏的) death and assessing an individual’s risk to potentially prevent future deaths. This development may mark a novel step towards prevention and global health strategies.
Professor Xavier Jouven, lead author of the study, said, “Sudden cardiac death, a public health burden, represents 10% to 20% of overall deaths. Predicting it is difficult, and the usual approaches fail to identify high-risk people, particularly at an individual level. We proposed a new approach.”
The scientific team employed AI to analyze medical data obtained from registries and databases in Paris, France and Seattle. They examined records of 25,000 individuals who had experienced sudden cardiac arrest and compared them with data from 70,000 people from the general population. The matching process involved age, sex and residential area. Using AI, the scientists created about 25,000 personalized health models to evaluate the data and identify individuals at high risk of sudden cardiac death. Additionally, they established a risk file for each participant in the study.
The AI analysis was able to identify people who had more than 90% of risk dying suddenly, and it can predict about more than one-fourth of all cases of sudden cardiac death. “We have been working for almost 30 years in the field of sudden cardiac death prediction. However, we did not expect to reach such a high level of accuracy,” said Jouven, who is the founder of the Paris Sudden Death Expertise Center.
Jouven added. “While doctors have efficient treatments, the use of AI is necessary to detect in a given subject a succession of medical information registered over the years. We hope that with a personalized list of risk factors, patients will be able to work with their clinicians to reduce those risk factors and ultimately decrease the potential for sudden cardiac death.”
28. What can be known about sudden cardiac death?
A. It is hard to predict and prevent.
B. Researchers still can do nothing about it.
C. It accounts for the highest percentage of all deaths.
D. Old approaches can effectively identify its high-risk people.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning the research?
A. Its result. B. Its process. C. Its purpose. D. Its participants.
30. How does Jouven feel about the Al analysis?
A Worried. B. Amazed. C. Annoyed. D. Disappointed.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Biggest AI Development in 2024 B. Using AI to Stop Future Cardiac Attack
C. Improved Prediction of Death in Patients D. Predicting Sudden Cardiac Death Using Al

In 1937, the aggression of the Japanese army brought disaster to China’s three great universities: Peking University and Tsinghua University were occupied by Japanese troops, while Nankai University was completely destroyed by bombing. To save their educational and intellectual heritage, the three universities joined together in Kunming as National Southwest Associated University, otherwise known as Lianda.
Professors and students alike in the three universities made an epic journey over a distance of more than 2,000 kilometres, most of them on foot. Their bed was the dusty road and their roof was the open sky, often lit up by exploding Japanese bombs. Conditions were little better once they reached the remote and mountainous south-west part of China.
However, despite the immense hardships and the daunting challenges, it was right in this place, over period of eight long years, that the nation’s intellectual heritage was not only guarded but fortified by the passion and belief of the worthy academic s of Lianda.
With the country at war, students at Lianda were not going to shirk their duty. Driven by a sense of commitment, a great many joined the army to resist the Japanese invaders and defend the honour of the nation. In fact, Lianda provided the largest number of student-soldiers from any campus in China. Of the thousands of college students from all over China who served as interpreters, one tenth were from Lianda, including the well-known translators Zha Liangzheng and Xu Yuanchong.
A product of the war, Lianda is now physically gone. But it has become the crowning glory of China’s modern universities, not only because of its prominent professors and talented students, but also because of the school’s strong spirit of perseverance and dedication.
More than eighty years on, the priceless contribution of Lianda still needs to be reaffirmed. It has become part of the collective memory of the Chinese nation, with its spirit as the blueprint for all universities in China in the modern era.
32. What caused Lianda to be formed in Kunming?
A. Thinkers’ academic struggles. B. Immense challenges.
C. Japanese aggression. D. Educational heritage.
33. How did most students get to Kunming?
A. On foot. B. By air. C. By bus. D. By bike.
34. What caused many students to join the army to defeat the invaders?
A. A sense of personal loss. B. A sense of trust.
C. A sense of achievement. D. A sense of commitment.
35. What message does the text convey about Lianda University?
A. Its campus remains a historical site.
B. This wartime system should now be re-established.
C. It becomes less and less important as time goes on.
D. Its spirit and contributions are key to China’s educational history.

The Adventurous Tour
It was a perfect hot summer day. The sky was as blue as the ocean with white soft clouds floating like cotton candy. Tom, Sam, Jack and Ron were very excited. They were best friends and were going sailing that day. Tom’s dad gave them a boat named Flying Ranger which they liked very much. Their mothers packed some delicious snacks and juice for their journey. They were like kids in a candy store and waited eagerly to set sail and begin their adventure.
They joyfully began their journey. Their boat was sailing swiftly in the wind. They saw big white birds flying overhead. Their cries echoed(回响) in the clear summer sky. The sea was calm, with small waves gently swaying. The boys joked and laughed as they controlled the boat, feeling the freedom of the open sea.
“Oh, no! Look at that large shark. It is coming towards us! Help!” Suddenly, Jack screamed. They couldn’t immediately grasp what was going on. By the time they tried to turn the boat in the other direction, it was too late. The shark bit their boat and it started sinking slowly. They jumped into the water and shivered like leaves. They shouted, “Help!” But there was no one around. Fortunately, the shark also left with the boat sinking.
Finally, they swam and reached the shore of an island. The island was vast with white sand and tall coconut trees standing like bodyguards. The boys were happily exploring the place. All of a sudden, an enormous black scorpion(蝎子) appeared. The boys were shocked and their mouths fell open. The scorpion was as huge as an elephant and looked like a big monster with its sharp nails. The big scorpion started advancing towards them. The boys were frightened and began to run for their lives. They ran as fast as deer and took shelter in an old cave.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

The cave was dark and dusty, but the boys had no choice.

C. He followed his father’s order.
【答案】18. B 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】M: I remember that when I was in my teens, I used to disobey many rules my parents told me. For example, my parents were very particular about the friends I went out with, always warning me that “one rotten apple could ruin a whole basket of apples.” When I wanted to sleep with my pet dog Peppy, they immediately said NO because they thought that I would be bitten by fleas. Today, however, I am also the father of a boy of fifteen, and I find that I, too, am pressuring my son with a lot of rules that he seems to find hard to follow. The other day, I noticed that my son’s hair was too long, so I told him to have it cut short. Ordinarily, he is fairly obedient, but this time he put his foot down. “What’s wrong with long hair?” he said. “I don’t think you have the right to order me to cut it short, even if you’re my father.” When I was a boy, if I had spoken like this to my father, I know that he would have given me a good beating. But I suddenly realized that we are now living in a more liberal world, and that my son’s wearing his hair long was merely an example of the generation gap that existed between us. So I give in, and so he still wears his hair long.

Jack Prelutsky is an American poet. He is known for his humorous and fantastic poetry for children, which has earned him numerous awards.
Jack Prelutsky was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1940. As a child, he did not enjoy poetry, finding it boring and pointless. Instead, Prelutsky expressed his artistry through music, taking voice and piano lessons. While Prelutsky claims he got into poetry almost by accident, he also states that he was always a poet. It just took him some time to realize his love for poetry.
Prelutsky explored quite a few options before he found his niche in poetry. He was a folk singer and guitar teacher in Greenwich Village in his late teens and early twenties. Prelutsky also held a variety of odd jobs. He worked as a furniture mover, piano mover, taxicab driver, coal shoveler, fruit picker, truck driver and photographer, among other jobs.
At the age of 23, Prelutsky decided to try illustrating. Just before presenting his illustrations to a children’s book editor, he added a few lines of poetry to the pictures. The editor told him that the illustrations were not publishable but the poems showed the talent. Over the next months and years, Prelutsky worked with the editor to create a collection of animal poems inspired by his love of the Bronx Zoo. His first book, entitled A Gopher in the Garden and Other Animal Poems, was published in 1967.
In addition to writing, Prelutsky has edited various poetry collections and translated poetry from German and Swedish into English. He currently resides in Seattle, where he writes and performs his work. Prelutsky is considered one of the most popular children’s poets. His work pioneered a new era of children’s poetry. In 2006, the Poetry Foundation named Jack Prelutsky the first Children’s Poet Laureate, a position designed to promote poetry for children and raise awareness of the power and relevance of poetry for young people.
24. Why did Prelutsky dislike poetry in his early years?
A. It was too difficult. B. He wasn’t good at it.
C. He thought it meaningless. D. It took up too much of his time.
25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “niche” in paragraph 3?
A. Mistake. B. Dream C. Comprehension. D. Interest.
26. How old was Prelutsky when he published his first book?
A. 23. B. 27. C. 40. D. 66.
27. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a poet. B. To attract poetry lovers.
C. To display some excellent poems. D. To encourage readers to write poems.

A recent research suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could hold the potential for predicting sudden cardiac (心脏的) death and assessing an individual’s risk to potentially prevent future deaths. This development may mark a novel step towards prevention and global health strategies.
Professor Xavier Jouven, lead author of the study, said, “Sudden cardiac death, a public health burden, represents 10% to 20% of overall deaths. Predicting it is difficult, and the usual approaches fail to identify high-risk people, particularly at an individual level. We proposed a new approach.”
The scientific team employed AI to analyze medical data obtained from registries and databases in Paris, France and Seattle. They examined records of 25,000 individuals who had experienced sudden cardiac arrest and compared them with data from 70,000 people from the general population. The matching process involved age, sex and residential area. Using AI, the scientists created about 25,000 personalized health models to evaluate the data and identify individuals at high risk of sudden cardiac death. Additionally, they established a risk file for each participant in the study.
The AI analysis was able to identify people who had more than 90% of risk dying suddenly, and it can predict about more than one-fourth of all cases of sudden cardiac death. “We have been working for almost 30 years in the field of sudden cardiac death prediction. However, we did not expect to reach such a high level of accuracy,” said Jouven, who is the founder of the Paris Sudden Death Expertise Center.
Jouven added. “While doctors have efficient treatments, the use of AI is necessary to detect in a given subject a succession of medical information registered over the years. We hope that with a personalized list of risk factors, patients will be able to work with their clinicians to reduce those risk factors and ultimately decrease the potential for sudden cardiac death.”
28. What can be known about sudden cardiac death?
A. It is hard to predict and prevent.
B. Researchers still can do nothing about it.
C. It accounts for the highest percentage of all deaths.
D. Old approaches can effectively identify its high-risk people.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning the research?
A. Its result. B. Its process. C. Its purpose. D. Its participants.
30. How does Jouven feel about the Al analysis?
A. Worried. B. Amazed. C. Annoyed. D. Disappointed.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Biggest AI Development in 2024 B. Using AI to Stop Future Cardiac Attack
C. Improved Prediction of Death in Patients D. Predicting Sudden Cardiac Death Using Al
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. D

【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The scientific team employed AI to analyze medical data obtained from registries and databases in Paris, France and Seattle. They examined records of 25,000 individuals who had experienced sudden cardiac arrest and compared them with data from 70,000 people from the general population. The matching process involved age, sex and residential area. Using AI, the scientists created about 25,000 personalized health models to evaluate the data and identify individuals at high risk of sudden cardiac death. Additionally, they established a risk file for each participant in the study.(科学团队利用人工智能分析了从法国巴黎和西雅图的登记处和数据库中获得的医疗数据。他们检查了2.5万名经历过心脏骤停的人的记录,并将其与7万名普通人群的数据进行了比较。配对过程包括年龄、性别和居住区域。利用人工智能,科学家们创建了大约25000个个性化的健康模型来评估数据,并识别出心脏性猝死的高风险人群。此外,他们还为研究中的每个参与者建立了风险档案)”可知,本段主要介绍了研究团队利用人工智能进行心源性猝死研究的过程与方法。故选B。

In 1937, the aggression of the Japanese army brought disaster to China’s three great universities: Peking University and Tsinghua University were occupied by Japanese troops, while Nankai University was completely destroyed by bombing. To save their educational and intellectual heritage, the three universities joined together in Kunming as National Southwest Associated University, otherwise known as Lianda.
Professors and students alike in the three universities made an epic journey over a distance of more than 2,000 kilometres, most of them on foot. Their bed was the dusty road and their roof was the open sky, often lit up by exploding Japanese bombs. Conditions were little better once they reached the remote and mountainous south-west part of China.
However, despite the immense hardships and the daunting challenges, it was right in this place, over period of eight long years, that the nation’s intellectual heritage was not only guarded but fortified by the passion and belief of the worthy academic s of Lianda.
With the country at war, students at Lianda were not going to shirk their duty. Driven by a sense of commitment, a great many joined the army to resist the Japanese invaders and defend the honour of the nation. In fact, Lianda provided the largest number of student-soldiers from any campus in China. Of the thousands of college students from all over China who served as interpreters, one tenth were from Lianda, including the well-known translators Zha Liangzheng and Xu Yuanchong.
A product of the war, Lianda is now physically gone. But it has become the crowning glory of China’s modern universities, not only because of its prominent professors and talented students, but also because of the school’s strong spirit of perseverance and dedication.
More than eighty years on, the priceless contribution of Lianda still needs to be reaffirmed. It has become part of the collective memory of the Chinese nation, with its spirit as the blueprint for all universities in China in the modern era.
32. What caused Lianda to be formed in Kunming?
A. Thinkers’ academic struggles. B. Immense challenges.
C. Japanese aggression. D. Educational heritage.
33. How did most students get to Kunming?
A. On foot. B. By air. C. By bus. D. By bike.
34. What caused many students to join the army to defeat the invaders?
A. A sense of personal loss. B. A sense of trust.
C. A sense of achievement. D. A sense of commitment.
35. What message does the text convey about Lianda University?
A. Its campus remains a historical site.
B. This wartime system should now be re-established.
C. It becomes less and less important as time goes on.
D. Its spirit and contributions are key to China’s educational history.

【导语】本文为记叙文。普里斯特利在文中抒发了对雪的喜爱,回忆童年玩雪球的快乐,感叹成年后难再有如此纯真乐趣,雪花触发温馨又带点伤感的往昔回忆。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:昨晚下了雪,这是人们在那个冬天看到的第一场雪。根据Last night可知,此处描述的是过去的事实,应用一般过去时。主语是it,因此be动词应使用was。故填was。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:普里斯特利发现孩子们兴奋地透过窗户看雪。find sb. doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“发现某人正在做某事”,此处用look的现在分词looking,作宾补。故填looking。
58题详解】
考查形容词。句意:然而,去年他在国外,在一个炎热的气候中度过了下雪的季节。空格后是名词season,应用形容词修饰,snow的形容词形式为snowy,意为“下雪的”。故填snowy。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在过去几年里,第一场降雪不仅仅是一件事,而是一个神奇的事件。event在此处是可数名词,泛指“一件事”,且event以元音音素开头,前面应加不定冠词an。故填an。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:人们在一个世界里去睡觉,醒来却发现自己在另一个世界里。go to bed“去睡觉”。根据空后的and woke up可知,此处在描述过去的动作,应用一般过去时,用go的过去式went。故填went。
【61题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:人们在一个世界里去睡觉,醒来却发现自己在另一个世界里。这里强调“人们自己”,应用反身代词。故填themselves。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:今天早上,当普里斯特利起床时,透过窗户进来的光线让一切变得非常奇怪。本空引导限制性定语从句,先行词是the light,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which或that引导。故填which或that。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一两个小时后,他向窗外望去,发现整个世界又变了。find sth. done为固定结构,意为“发现某物被……”,此处world与change“改变”之间是被动关系,应用过去分词。故填changed。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:雪下得如此之大,你几乎看不到对面的浅谷。空处修饰动词falling,应用副词heavily“大量地”。故填heavily。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:从他的书房里,普里斯特利可以看到孩子们把鼻子贴在窗户上,并回忆起童年时的一首韵律诗。press against/on为固定短语,意为“紧贴着,倚靠”。故填against或on。

Dear Martin,
I hope this email finds you well. As our English Club gears up for the much-anticipated freshmen welcome party, I wanted to share some eco-conscious ideas that could make the event not only enjoyable but also environmentally sustainable.
Firstly, let’s embrace digital invitations instead of paper ones. Not only does this significantly reduce paper waste, but it also adds a modern touch and ensures timely delivery.

The Adventurous Tour
It was a perfect hot summer day. The sky was as blue as the ocean with white soft clouds floating like cotton candy. Tom, Sam, Jack and Ron were very excited. They were best friends and were going sailing that day. Tom’s dad gave them a boat named Flying Ranger which they liked very much. Their mothers packed some delicious snacks and juice for their journey. They were like kids in a candy store and waited eagerly to set sail and begin their adventure.
They joyfully began their journey. Their boat was sailing swiftly in the wind. They saw big white birds flying overhead. Their cries echoed(回响) in the clear summer sky. The sea was calm, with small waves gently swaying. The boys joked and laughed as they controlled the boat, feeling the freedom of the open sea.
“Oh, no! Look at that large shark. It is coming towards us! Help!” Suddenly, Jack screamed. They couldn’t immediately grasp what was going on. By the time they tried to turn the boat in the other direction, it was too late. The shark bit their boat and it started sinking slowly. They jumped into the water and shivered like leaves. They shouted, “Help!” But there was no one around. Fortunately, the shark also left with the boat sinking.
Finally, they swam and reached the shore of an island. The island was vast with white sand and tall coconut trees standing like bodyguards. The boys were happily exploring the place. All of a sudden, an enormous black scorpion(蝎子) appeared. The boys were shocked and their mouths fell open. The scorpion was as huge as an elephant and looked like a big monster with its sharp nails. The big scorpion started advancing towards them. The boys were frightened and began to run for their lives. They ran as fast as deer and took shelter in an old cave.

【答案】The cave was dark and dusty, but the boys had no choice. When they went in, Sam shouted, “Wow! Get in here!” They opened their eyes wide and saw this incredible cave in front of them. There were simple furnishings, including pots and pans, and a simple bed made of dead branches. This could be a temporary shelter. The boys were happy, but they were also frustrated and depressed because they were lost on that island.
Meanwhile, the parents were anxiously looking for their children. Fortunately, accompanied by local police, they found the Flying Ranger. So they searched in all possible directions. After three days and night s of searching, they arrived on that isolated island. They saw their children struggling to build a fire for food. The children were overjoyed to see their parents approaching them. After the adventure, they were rescued and returned home.
