Here we’ve boiled down the options to add to your bucket list. Boryeong Mud Festival, Republic of Korea The extensive beneficial qualities of the mud in Boryeong coastal region have prompted wellness-related lines, as well as an entire coastal festival. The festival celebrates the natural benefits of this precious resource with a dose of pops, beach fun and street food, drawing visitors from around the world to get messy and learn about the region’s resources. Rock Oyster Festival, England Rock Oyster Festival is a summer event on the Cornish coast. With musical performances from the huge names, the three day festival also showcases some of the best chefs and restaurants from around Cornwall as well as cooking demonstrations. Big shots in the food world like Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Olia Hercules and Andi Oliver share their stories, while over at Mussel Beach, there’s a celebration of live fire cooking in all its glory. Copenhagen Photo Festival, Denmark Copenhagen Photo Festival showcases s international contemporary photography in a stunning, dramatic setting at the water’s edge. The Festival Centre and exhibition park are located in an urban coastal wilderness, formerly an industrial shipyard site. With the theme “Entanglement” for the 2024 edition of the festival, it encourages people to think relations on all the ways we are co-dependently connected. Noosa Festival of Surfing, Australia Noosa is an iconic surf spot on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, Big waves crash on to the sunny and expansive beaches, backed by bars, cafes and the Noosa National Park. The annual festival is a homage to global surf culture and talent. Exhibitions, art shows and live music punctuate the moments between the actions on the water, while lighthearted activities such as dog surfing competitions accompany the more serious contests. 1. Which festival is most likely to appeal to people who are health-conscious? A Boryeong Mud Festival. B. Rock Oyster Festival. C. Copenhagen Photo Festival. D. Noosa Festival of Surfing. 2. What can you do on Rock Oyster Festival? A. Take part in a cooking contest. B. Meet masters in food industry. C. Visit an industrial shipyard site. D. Make alive fire cooking freely. 3. What do the four festivals have in common? A. Free food is available. B. Celebrities are invited there. C. They provide live music shows. D. They take place in coastal areas. B A grey-headed flying fox is back gliding through the night after life-saving surgery on a broken wing. The female flying fox’s wing was badly injured when it was twisted in a net placed over fruit trees in Geelong, Victoria. It was rescued and taken to Werribee Open Range Zoo’s veterinary hospital where it needed two operations to repair the wing. Paul Eden, doctor of the hospital, said, “The flying fox was in a very serious condition when it arrived.” Flying foxes are highly dependent on their wings for many purposes. They can fly an astonishing 6,000 km in a year to search for food and pollinate a wide range of plants. They also use their wings to help capture insects, regulate body temperature and attract other flying foxes during mating season, So, it was extremely important that we did everything we could to help this animal make a full recovery. Vets operated to remove some of the flying fox’s damaged wing tissue and also gave it antibiotics (抗生素) and pain relief medication. Following the successful procedure, the flying fox was transferred to a wildlife carer to prepare it for release back into where it belonged. Dr Eden said, “It is very rewarding to see the flying fox recover fully and safely return home.” According to researchers from Werribee Open Range Zoo, flying foxes played a critical role in Australia’s ecosystem, not only for the survival of other native animals but also humans. Our ecosystem would be dramatically different without flying foxes. Dr Eden noted that there were some simple actions people could take to keep flying foxes safe, including reducing the risk of twisting by using nets with a size no bigger than 5 mm×5 mm when fully stretched over vegetable gardens or fruit trees. “If you encounter a flying fox that is sick or in distress, for the safety of everyone, don’t attempt to rescue the animal yourself. Instead, contact Wildlife Victoria who will send a trained officer to rescue the animal,” Dr Eden said. 4. How did the flying fox get injured in the wing? A. It was stuck in the net. B. It was hit by the fruits. C. It was hunted while flying. D. It was twisted in the branches. 5. What is paragraph 2 intended to do? A. Analyse the reason. B. Draw a conclusion. C. Present a problem. D. Add some backgrounds. 6. How will the flying fox be dealt with after recovery? A. It will be raised in a reserve. B. It will be adopted by D Eden. C. It will be set free back to nature. D. It will be tended in a wildlife carer. 7. What did Dr Eden advise us to do while coming across an injured flying fox? A. Rescue it on the spot. B. Seek professional aid. C. Send it to Wildlife Victoria in person. D. Drive it to hospital as soon as possible C A brown and dry lawn is not something many gardeners would boast about. But that is exactly the kind of yard competition organizers in Sweden were looking for when they launched the prize for the “World’s Ugliest Lawn”. People from around the world were invited to post pictures of their dehydrated(脱水的)grass to social media in a bid to win the uncertain honor. The intention, according to those behind the project, was to raise awareness of “saving water on a global scale by changing the norm for green lawns”. Lawns, which can require large amounts of water to maintain, are coming under increasing examination as climate change makes periods of drought more frequent and intense. The global initiative was launched on the official website for Gotland in Sweden. “Huge amounts of water are used to water lawns for aesthetics(美学). As the world gets warmer, lack of water in urban areas is projected to affect up to 2.4 billion people by 2050. By not watering lawns for aesthetic reasons, we can protect the availability of groundwater,” the competition organizers said. The unlikely title has been awarded to Kathleen Murray who lives in Sandford in Tasmania, Australia. According to the organizers, Murray’s lawn “boasts deep and dry divots created by three wild bandicoots(袋狸)and not one dust-covered decimeter is wasted on watering”. Murray said in the press release about her triumph, “I am terribly proud! I knew I would have my 5 minutes of fame, even if it was for having the ugliest lawn on the planet! I am now free of ever taking care of my lawn again.” A press release by the Gotland, office added, “For the planet and its declining stockpiles of life-giving liquid, thank you, Kathleen, as well as those naughty bandicoots damaging your lawn for the greater good.” Organizers added, “Gotland aims to show to Sweden and the world that sustainable behavior doesn’t have to be dull.” 8. What can we say about the yard competition organized in Sweden? A. People had even doubted its authenticity. B. People worldwide were unwilling to join. C. Its participants must be professional gardeners. D. Its entries must agree with the existing aesthetics. 9. What is the purpose of this yard competition? A. To call on people to protect lawns. B. To encourage people to be creative. C. To challenge the norm of aesthetics. D. To remind people of water shortage. 10. What does the underlined word “triumph” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Ambition. B. Success. C. Sorrow. D. Barrier. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. People’s Whelming Reaction To A Yard Contest In Sweden B. Lawns And Rare Bandicoots Calling For Urgent Protection C. A Lawn Named The Ugliest Globally All For A Good Cause D. The World’s Ugliest Lawn Unaccepted By The Whole World D When patients are discharged (出院) from the hospital, effective summaries from doctors’ notes are essential to capture their health status in the medical record. Whereas, most are filled with technical languages that are hard to understand and increase patients’ anxiety. To address the problem, researchers from New York University (NYU) Langone Health have been testing the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence (AI). It tries to develop likely options for the next word in any sentence based on how most people use words in context on the Internet. NYU Langone Health received access to the latest tool from a famous tech company to explore generative AI. One of the studies by the researchers published in JAMA Network Open, looked at how well the tool could convert (转换) the text in 50 patient discharge notes into patient-friendly language. Specifically, generative AI made the discharge notes drop from 11th-grade reading level on average to a 6th-grade level. Two physicians were asked to review the AI discharge summary based on a 6th-grade level. The reviewing physicians awarded 54 percent of the AI-generated discharge notes the best-possible accuracy rating. They also found that 56 percent of notes created by AI were entirely complete. The result signified that even at the current performance level, providers of discharge notes would not have to make a single change in more than half of the AI summaries reviewed. “That more than half of the AI reports generated are accurate and complete is an amazing start,” said Jonah Zaretsky, associate chief of medicine at NYU Langone Hospital — Brooklyn. “Even at the current level of performance, which we expect to improve shortly, the achievement of the AI tool suggests that it can be taught to recognize subtleties (微妙之处).” Within the following years, the team expects to launch a pilot program to provide lay language discharge summaries that have been generated by AI and reviewed by physicians to patients on a larger scale. 12. What is generative AI used for by the researchers? A. Submitting discharge summaries. B. Accessing patients’ health status. C. Making discharge notes clear to patients. D. Offering technical languages to doctors. 13. What is generative AI’s function based on? A. Probable predicting. B. Actual thinking. C. Free imagining. D. Strict instructing. 14. Why were the two physicians asked to review the AI discharge summaries? A. To correct their mistakes. B. To measure their accuracy. C. To compete with the AI tool. D. To make up the missing parts. 15. How did Jonah Zaretsky find the performance of AI in dealing with discharge summaries? A. Misleading. B. Dismissive. C. Challenging. D. Promising. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What motivates you to work or study harder? Is it the thought of success and all the amazing things that you can achieve, or is it the fear of failure and worry about all the things that can go wrong for you? ___16___ But is one better than the other? A recent study looked at the effect of fear-based strategies on British secondary school students. It found that if a test is seen as important, and students are optimistic that they can succeed, then the fear of failure can be used successfully by teachers to motivate these learners. ___17___ In that case, it will in turn lead them to do worse on the test than they would have done otherwise. The study also found that if students are indifferent and don’t care about the test in the first place, then, unsurprisingly, the fear of failure is not likely to motivate them. Entrepreneurs often run the risk of failure. It’s a fact that many new companies will fail. But does this motivate or hold back business people? ___18___ The personal consequences of failure can be significant, and so founders may be motivated to work harder to avoid them. A study carried out on British and Canadian entrepreneurs found that fear of failure can improve problem solving, as people are motivated to anticipate and resolve potential issues. ___19___ However, the study also showed that it can lead to increased delay of work, as people focus too much on what they personally fear, rather than what would be best, for the business. If someone is less confident about their business ideas, then they may find their decision-making negatively affected by their fears. ___20___ Fear can drive confident people to do better, but it can also expand our doubts and turn them into barriers. A. Again, it’s not straightforward. B. The answer, undoubtedly, is “yes”. C. Taken together, fear-based motivation is complicated. D. Generally speaking, good outcomes can be expected by teachers. E. They may also be inspired to innovate and activate their business. F. However, if students lack confidence, fear-based approaches could cause anxiety. G. Leaders, managers and teachers often use one of these ideas to inspire people to achieve more. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Asli Samanci, a food scientist, was driven by her childhood dream of becoming a scientist, leading her to pursue a career in food science. “It ___21___ everything: biology, microbiology and chemistry all together,” Samancil said.

We lived close to the park, so I often heard the screams of people on the roller coaster, saw the tired kids with their parents when they left. Sometimes, I looked wistfully at the lights through my window at night. When I was nine, my grandmother managed to save a little bit of money here and there and took me there one day that summer. I yelled, excitement bubbling inside me. As we arrived at the park for the first time, kids were everywhere, eating popcorn (爆米花) and blowing bubbles. My eyes widened in delight at the scene. I wanted to do all those things, but deep down, I knew we didn’t have enough money. We could only afford to buy a ticket only for one ride for fifteen minutes. I pulled my grandmother toward the ticket window to buy a ticket for the carousel (旋转木马). It was exactly as I had imagined, straight out of a movie. My grandmother smiled fondly and leaned down, giving the ticket to the ride operator, Mr Salas. Letting go, I rushed to the ride, stopping only to pick which horse to sit on. They were all so beautiful, coming in different colors with’ different expressions ‘on their plastic faces. To me, it felt like the decision of a lifetime. “Come on, sweetie! The ride is going to start!” my grandmother called out, laughing at my indecision. Seeing that, Mr Salas also smiled warmly. Finally, I picked the horse with the pink hair and blue saddle. In the following minutes, I was absorbed in enjoying the ride, forgetting my family was struggling. My grandmother waved each time the ride passed her by. Mr Salas watched me from a distance. Sadly, the carousel ride ended much too quickly. My grandmother was waiting and took my hand. I got down from the horse unwillingly, feeling bittersweet. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150 左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At that moment, Mr Salas approached us with a warm smile on his face. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a while, Mr Salas returned, with an all-inclusive ticket for Cedar Point for the entire day. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年普通高中学业水平选择性模拟考试 英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

The female flying fox’s wing was badly injured when it was twisted in a net placed over fruit trees in Geelong, Victoria. It was rescued and taken to Werribee Open Range Zoo’s veterinary hospital where it needed two operations to repair the wing. Paul Eden, doctor of the hospital, said, “The flying fox was in a very serious condition when it arrived.” Flying foxes are highly dependent on their wings for many purposes. They can fly an astonishing 6,000 km in a year to search for food and pollinate a wide range of plants. They also use their wings to help capture insects, regulate body temperature and attract other flying foxes during mating season, So, it was extremely important that we did everything we could to help this animal make a full recovery. Vets operated to remove some of the flying fox’s damaged wing tissue and also gave it antibiotics (抗生素) and pain relief medication. Following the successful procedure, the flying fox was transferred to a wildlife carer to prepare it for release back into where it belonged. Dr Eden said, “It is very rewarding to see the flying fox recover fully and safely return home.” According to researchers from Werribee Open Range Zoo, flying foxes played a critical role in Australia’s ecosystem, not only for the survival of other native animals but also humans. Our ecosystem would be dramatically different without flying foxes. Dr Eden noted that there were some simple actions people could take to keep flying foxes safe, including reducing the risk of twisting by using nets with a size no bigger than 5 mm×5 mm when fully stretched over vegetable gardens or fruit trees. “If you encounter a flying fox that is sick or in distress, for the safety of everyone, don’t attempt to rescue the animal yourself. Instead, contact Wildlife Victoria who will send a trained officer to rescue the animal,” Dr Eden said. 4. How did the flying fox get injured in the wing? A. It was stuck in the net. B. It was hit by the fruits. C. It was hunted while flying. D. It was twisted in the branches. 5. What is paragraph 2 intended to do? A. Analyse the reason. B. Draw a conclusion. C. Present a problem. D. Add some backgrounds. 6. How will the flying fox be dealt with after recovery? A. It will be raised in a reserve. B. It will be adopted by D Eden. C. It will be set free back to nature. D. It will be tended in a wildlife carer. 7. What did Dr Eden advise us to do while coming across an injured flying fox? A. Rescue it on the spot. B. Seek professional aid. C. Send it to Wildlife Victoria in person. D. Drive it to hospital as soon as possible 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述一只灰头飞狐在接受了翅膀断裂的救生手术后，计划重新回归到自然。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“The female flying fox’s wing was badly injured when it was twisted in a net placed over fruit trees in Geelong, Victoria.(在维多利亚州吉隆市，这只雌性飞狐翅膀被放置在果树上的网缠住，受了重伤)”可知，那只飞狐被网缠住了。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“Flying foxes are highly dependent on their wings for many purposes. They can fly an astonishing 6,000 km in a year to search for food and pollinate a wide range of plants. They also use their wings to help capture insects, regulate body temperature and attract other flying foxes during mating season, So, it was extremely important that we did everything we could to help this animal make a full recovery.(飞狐在许多方面高度依赖翅膀。它们可以在一年内飞行惊人的6000公里，寻找食物并为各种植物授粉。它们还用翅膀帮助捕捉昆虫，调节体温，并在交配季节吸引其他飞狐。因此，我们尽一切努力帮助这种动物完全康复是极其重要的)”可知，第二段主要提供关于飞狐的一些背景知识。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“Following the successful procedure, the flying fox was transferred to a wildlife carer to prepare it for release back into where it belonged.(手术成功后，这只飞狐被转移到一名野生动物看护人那里，为将其放归原处做准备)”可知，这只飞狐将被送回自然。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段“If you encounter a flying fox that is sick or in distress, for the safety of everyone, don’t attempt to rescue the animal yourself. Instead, contact Wildlife Victoria who will send a trained officer to rescue the animal,(如果你遇到一只生病或遇险的飞狐，为了每个人的安全，不要试图自己营救它。相反，请联系维多利亚野生动物协会，后者将派一名训练有素的官员来营救这只动物)”可知，Eden医生建议我们在遇到受伤的飞狐时寻求专业帮助。故选B项。 C A brown and dry lawn is not something many gardeners would boast about. But that is exactly the kind of yard competition organizers in Sweden were looking for when they launched the prize for the “World’s Ugliest Lawn”. People from around the world were invited to post pictures of their dehydrated(脱水的)grass to social media in a bid to win the uncertain honor. The intention, according to those behind the project, was to raise awareness of “saving water on a global scale by changing the norm for green lawns”. Lawns, which can require large amounts of water to maintain, are coming under increasing examination as climate change makes periods of drought more frequent and intense. The global initiative was launched on the official website for Gotland in Sweden. “Huge amounts of water are used to water lawns for aesthetics(美学). As the world gets warmer, lack of water in urban areas is projected to affect up to 2.4 billion people by 2050. By not watering lawns for aesthetic reasons, we can protect the availability of groundwater,” the competition organizers said. The unlikely title has been awarded to Kathleen Murray who lives in Sandford in Tasmania, Australia. According to the organizers, Murray’s lawn “boasts deep and dry divots created by three wild bandicoots(袋狸)and not one dust-covered decimeter is wasted on watering”. Murray said in the press release about her triumph, “I am terribly proud! I knew I would have my 5 minutes of fame, even if it was for having the ugliest lawn on the planet! I am now free of ever taking care of my lawn again.” A press release by the Gotland, office added, “For the planet and its declining stockpiles of life-giving liquid, thank you, Kathleen, as well as those naughty bandicoots damaging your lawn for the greater good.” Organizers added, “Gotland aims to show to Sweden and the world that sustainable behavior doesn’t have to be dull.” 8. What can we say about the yard competition organized in Sweden? A. People had even doubted its authenticity. B. People worldwide were unwilling to join. C. Its participants must be professional gardeners. D. Its entries must agree with the existing aesthetics. 9. What is the purpose of this yard competition? A. To call on people to protect lawns. B. To encourage people to be creative. C. To challenge the norm of aesthetics. D. To remind people of water shortage. 10. What does the underlined word “triumph” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Ambition. B. Success. C. Sorrow. D. Barrier. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. People’s Whelming Reaction To A Yard Contest In Sweden B. Lawns And Rare Bandicoots Calling For Urgent Protection C. A Lawn Named The Ugliest Globally All For A Good Cause D. The World’s Ugliest Lawn Unaccepted By The Whole World 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻稿。文章主要介绍瑞典庭院比赛组织者推出“世界上最丑草坪”奖。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“A brown and dry lawn is not something many gardeners would boast about. But that is exactly the kind of yard competition organizers in Sweden were looking for when they launched the prize for the‘World’s Ugliest Lawn’. People from around the world were invited to post pictures of their dehydrated(脱水的)grass to social media in a bid to win the uncertain honor.(棕色干燥的草坪不是很多园丁会夸耀的。但这正是瑞典庭院比赛组织者在推出‘世界上最丑草坪’奖时所希望的。来自世界各地的人们被邀请在社交媒体上发布他们脱水草的照片，以赢得这一不确定的荣誉。)”可推测，该奖项非常规奖项，所以人们甚至怀疑它的真实性。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“The intention, according to those behind the project, was to raise awareness of ‘saving water on a global scale by changing the norm for green lawns’. Lawns, which can require large amounts of water to maintain, are coming under increasing examination as climate change makes periods of drought more frequent and intense.(据该项目背后的人说，其目的是提高人们对‘通过改变绿色草坪的规范在全球范围内节约用水’的认识。由于气候变化使干旱期更加频繁和强烈，草坪可能需要大量的水来维持，因此草坪正受到越来越多的审查。)”可知，这场庭院比赛的目的是提醒人们注意缺水问题。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第四段“The unlikely title has been awarded to Kathleen Murray who lives in Sandford in Tasmania, Australia. (这个不太可能的头衔被授予了居住在澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚州桑福德的Kathleen Murray。)”可知，Kathleen Murray获得“世界上最丑草坪”奖，所以划线单词的句子应表示Murray在新闻稿中谈到了她的获奖的成功，所以猜测triumph表“成功”。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“A brown and dry lawn is not something many gardeners would boast about. But that is exactly the kind of yard competition organizers in Sweden were looking for when they launched the prize for the ‘World’s Ugliest Lawn’. People from around the world were invited to post pictures of their dehydrated(脱水的)grass to social media in a bid to win the uncertain honor.(棕色干燥的草坪不是很多园丁会夸耀的。但这正是瑞典庭院比赛组织者在推出“世界上最丑草坪”奖时所希望的。来自世界各地的人们被邀请在社交媒体上发布他们脱水草的照片，以赢得这一不确定的荣誉。)”以及后文可知，文章主要介绍瑞典庭院比赛组织者为了提醒人们注意缺水问题，推出“世界上最丑草坪”奖。所以C项A Lawn Named The Ugliest Globally All For A Good Cause(一块草坪被评为全球最丑陋草坪，只为做一件好事)符合语境。故选C项。 D When patients are discharged (出院) from the hospital, effective summaries from doctors’ notes are essential to capture their health status in the medical record. Whereas, most are filled with technical languages that are hard to understand and increase patients’ anxiety. To address the problem, researchers from New York University (NYU) Langone Health have been testing the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence (AI). It tries to develop likely options for the next word in any sentence based on how most people use words in context on the Internet. NYU Langone Health received access to the latest tool from a famous tech company to explore generative AI. One of the studies by the researchers published in JAMA Network Open, looked at how well the tool could convert (转换) the text in 50 patient discharge notes into patient-friendly language. Specifically, generative AI made the discharge notes drop from 11th-grade reading level on average to a 6th-grade level. Two physicians were asked to review the AI discharge summary based on a 6th-grade level. The reviewing physicians awarded 54 percent of the AI-generated discharge notes the best-possible accuracy rating. They also found that 56 percent of notes created by AI were entirely complete. The result signified that even at the current performance level, providers of discharge notes would not have to make a single change in more than half of the AI summaries reviewed. “That more than half of the AI reports generated are accurate and complete is an amazing start,” said Jonah Zaretsky, associate chief of medicine at NYU Langone Hospital — Brooklyn. “Even at the current level of performance, which we expect to improve shortly, the achievement of the AI tool suggests that it can be taught to recognize subtleties (微妙之处).” Within the following years, the team expects to launch a pilot program to provide lay language discharge summaries that have been generated by AI and reviewed by physicians to patients on a larger scale. 12. What is generative AI used for by the researchers? A. Submitting discharge summaries. B. Accessing patients’ health status. C. Making discharge notes clear to patients. D. Offering technical languages to doctors. 13. What is generative AI’s function based on? A Probable predicting. B. Actual thinking. C. Free imagining. D. Strict instructing. 14. Why were the two physicians asked to review the AI discharge summaries? A. To correct their mistakes. B. To measure their accuracy. C. To compete with the AI tool. D. To make up the missing parts. 15. How did Jonah Zaretsky find the performance of AI in dealing with discharge summaries? A. Misleading. B. Dismissive. C. Challenging. D. Promising. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是针对于在病人出院时医生的病情摘要因其难以理解的技术语言可能会增加患者焦虑的情况，纽约大学朗格尼健康中心的研究人员一直在测试生成式人工智能(AI)的能力，该工具可以将患者出院记录中的文本转换为对患者友好的语言，从而减少患者焦虑。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Whereas, most are filled with technical languages that are hard to understand and increase patients’ anxiety.(然而，大多数都充满了难以理解的技术语言，增加了患者的焦虑。)”以及第三段“Specifically, generative AI made the discharge notes drop from 11th-grade reading level on average to a 6th-grade level.(具体来说，生成式人工智能使出院记录的平均阅读水平从11年级下降到6年级。)”可知出院时医生给出的病人的出院记录因其难懂晦涩的专业术语可能会大大增加病人的焦虑，生成式人工智能可以降低出院记录的阅读水平，能够让病人清楚地知道出院记录的情况。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It tries to develop likely options for the next word in any sentence based on how most people use words in context on the Internet.(它试图根据大多数人在互联网上下文中使用单词方式，为任何句子中的下一个单词开发可能的选项。)”可知生成式人工智能试图根据大多数人在互联网上下文中使用单词的方式，为任何句子中的下一个单词开发可能的选项，所以它的功能是基于可能的预测。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Specifically, generative AI made the discharge notes drop from 11th-grade reading level on average to a 6th-grade level.(具体来说，生成式人工智能使出院记录平均阅读水平从11年级下降到6年级。)”以及第四段“Two physicians were asked to review the AI discharge summary based on a 6th-grade level. The reviewing physicians awarded 54 percent of the AI-generated discharge notes the best-possible accuracy rating. They also found that 56 percent of notes created by AI were entirely complete. The result signified that even at the current performance level, providers of discharge notes would not have to make a single change in more than half of the AI summaries reviewed.(两名医生被要求根据六年级水平审查AI出院摘要。审查医生对54%的人工智能生成的出院记录给予了尽可能高的准确性评级。他们还发现，人工智能创造的笔记中有56%是完全完整的。结果表明，即使在目前的表现水平下，出院记录提供者也不必对超过一半的人工智能摘要进行任何更改。)”可知生成式人工智能使出院记录的平均阅读水平从11年级下降到6年级，而水平降低以后的准确性如何必须进行检验，而检验结果表明即使在6年级的水平下，出院记录提供者也不必对超过一半的人工智能摘要进行任何更改，所以可以推测两名医生被要求根据六年级水平审查AI出院摘要是为了检查其准确性。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““That more than half of the AI reports generated are accurate and complete is an amazing start,” said Jonah Zaretsky, associate chief of medicine at NYU Langone Hospital — Brooklyn. “Even at the current level of performance, which we expect to improve shortly, the achievement of the AI tool suggests that it can be taught to recognize subtleties (微妙之处).”(“超过一半的人工智能报告是准确和完整的，这是一个惊人的开始，”纽约大学兰贡医院-布鲁克林医学副主任Jonah Zaretsky说。“即使在目前的性能水平上，我们预计很快就会提高，但人工智能工具的成就表明，它可以学会识别细微之处。”)”可知，Jonah Zaretsky认为超过一半的人工智能报告是准确和完整的，而且人工智能工具的准确性还会提高，它也可以学会识别细微之处，所以可以推断Jonah Zaretsky认为人工智能在处理出院摘要方面的表现是大有前途的。故选D项。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What motivates you to work or study harder? Is it the thought of success and all the amazing things that you can achieve, or is it the fear of failure and worry about all the things that can go wrong for you? ___16___ But is one better than the other? A recent study looked at the effect of fear-based strategies on British secondary school students. It found that if a test is seen as important, and students are optimistic that they can succeed, then the fear of failure can be used successfully by teachers to motivate these learners. ___17___ In that case, it will in turn lead them to do worse on the test than they would have done otherwise. The study also found that if students are indifferent and don’t care about the test in the first place, then, unsurprisingly, the fear of failure is not likely to motivate them. Entrepreneurs often run the risk of failure. It’s a fact that many new companies will fail. But does this motivate or hold back business people? ___18___ The personal consequences of failure can be significant, and so founders may be motivated to work harder to avoid them. A study carried out on British and Canadian entrepreneurs found that fear of failure can improve problem solving, as people are motivated to anticipate and resolve potential issues. ___19___ However, the study also showed that it can lead to increased delay of work, as people focus too much on what they personally fear, rather than what would be best, for the business. If someone is less confident about their business ideas, then they may find their decision-making negatively affected by their fears. ___20___ Fear can drive confident people to do better, but it can also expand our doubts and turn them into barriers. A. Again, it’s not straightforward. B. The answer, undoubtedly, is “yes”. C. Taken together, fear-based motivation is complicated. D. Generally speaking, good outcomes can be expected by teachers. E. They may also be inspired to innovate and activate their business. F. However, if students lack confidence, fear-based approaches could cause anxiety. G. Leaders, managers and teachers often use one of these ideas to inspire people to achieve more. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了两种取得更多成就的心态，一种是对成功的憧憬，一种是对失败的恐惧。 【16题详解】 根据上文“What motivates you to work or study harder? Is it the thought of success and all the amazing things that you can achieve, or is it the fear of failure and worry about all the things that can go wrong for you? (是什么激励你更加努力地工作或学习？是对成功的憧憬和你能实现的所有惊人的事情，还是对失败的恐惧和对所有可能出错的事情的担忧？)”以及后文“But is one better than the other? (但是一个比另一个好吗？)”可知，上文提到了两种激励人们的方法，推测本句是在说明这些方法的应用。故G选项“领导者、管理者和老师经常使用其中一种想法来激励人们取得更多成就。”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据后文“In that case, it will in turn lead them to do worse on the test than they would have done otherwise. (在这种情况下，这反过来会导致他们在考试中表现得更差。)”可知，本句是在说明会导致考试表现更差的情况。故F选项“然而，如果学生缺乏自信，基于恐惧的方法可能会导致焦虑。”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Entrepreneurs often run the risk of failure. It’s a fact that many new companies will fail. But does this motivate or hold back business people? (企业家常常冒着失败的风险。事实是，许多新公司将会倒闭。但这是激励还是阻碍了商人呢？)”以及后文“The personal consequences of failure can be significant, and so founders may be motivated to work harder to avoid them. A study carried out on British and Canadian entrepreneurs found that fear of failure can improve problem solving, as people are motivated to anticipate and resolve potential issues. (失败对个人的影响可能很严重，因此创业者可能会更努力地工作以避免失败。一项针对英国和加拿大企业家的研究发现，对失败的恐惧可以提高解决问题的能力，因为人们有动力预测和解决潜在的问题。)”可知，本句主要回答上文失败是激励还是阻碍了商人的问题，且A选项中It对应上文this。故A选项“再次声明，这不是直截了当的。”符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“A study carried out on British and Canadian entrepreneurs found that fear of failure can improve problem solving, as people are motivated to anticipate and resolve potential issues. (一项针对英国和加拿大企业家的研究发现，对失败的恐惧可以提高解决问题的能力，因为人们有动力预测和解决潜在的问题。)”可知，失败可以激励人们去预测和解决潜在的问题，推测本句承接上文，继续说明对失败的恐惧所带来的好处。故E选项“他们也可能受到启发去创新和激活他们的业务”符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Fear can drive confident people to do better, but it can also expand our doubts and turn them into barriers. (恐惧可以驱使自信的人做得更好，但它也可以扩大我们的疑虑，把它们变成障碍。)”可知，后文提到恐惧可以驱使自信的人做得更好，但也可以扩大我们的疑虑，把它们变成障碍，说明恐惧带来的动力具有两面性、复杂性。故C选项“综上所述，基于恐惧的动机很复杂。”符合语境，故选C。 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Asli Samanci, a food scientist, was driven by her childhood dream of becoming a scientist, leading her to pursue a career in food science. “It ___21___ everything: biology, microbiology and chemistry all together,” Samancil said.

We lived close to the park, so I often heard the screams of people on the roller coaster, saw the tired kids with their parents when they left. Sometimes, I looked wistfully at the lights through my window at night. When I was nine, my grandmother managed to save a little bit of money here and there and took me there one day that summer. I yelled, excitement bubbling inside me. As we arrived at the park for the first time, kids were everywhere, eating popcorn (爆米花) and blowing bubbles. My eyes widened in delight at the scene. I wanted to do all those things, but deep down, I knew we didn’t have enough money. We could only afford to buy a ticket only for one ride for fifteen minutes. I pulled my grandmother toward the ticket window to buy a ticket for the carousel (旋转木马). It was exactly as I had imagined, straight out of a movie. My grandmother smiled fondly and leaned down, giving the ticket to the ride operator, Mr Salas. Letting go, I rushed to the ride, stopping only to pick which horse to sit on. They were all so beautiful, coming in different colors with’ different expressions ‘on their plastic faces. To me, it felt like the decision of a lifetime. “Come on, sweetie! The ride is going to start!” my grandmother called out, laughing at my indecision. Seeing that, Mr Salas also smiled warmly. Finally, I picked the horse with the pink hair and blue saddle. In the following minutes, I was absorbed in enjoying the ride, forgetting my family was struggling. My grandmother waved each time the ride passed her by. Mr Salas watched me from a distance. Sadly, the carousel ride ended much too quickly. My grandmother was waiting and took my hand. I got down from the horse unwillingly, feeling bittersweet. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150 左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At that moment, Mr Salas approached us with a warm smile on his face. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a while, Mr Salas returned, with an all-inclusive ticket for Cedar Point for the entire day. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At that moment, Mr Salas approached us with a warm smile on his face. He asked why we didn’t continue to ride the carousel. My grandmother explained to him that we only had enough money for one ride. He nodded in understanding. But then, his eyes held a glimmer of kindness and understanding as he looked at me and my grandmother. He said gently, “Excuse me, ma’am. I couldn’t help but notice the joy on your granddaughter’s face as she rode the carousel. It’s moments like these that make this job worthwhile.” Having said that, he went to the ticket window. After a while, Mr Salas returned, with an all-inclusive ticket for Cedar Point for the entire day. He gave it to us and explained that with the ticket, I would have unlimited access to all the rides and attractions in Cedar Point for the entire day. When my grandmother took the ticket from Mr Salas, tears of gratitude filled her eyes. “Thank you,” my grandmother whispered, her voice choked with emotion of gratitude. I was more than delighted that I was able to ride the carousel as much as I wished that day. Moreover, Mr Salas even offered to buy me popcorn and blowing bubbles. By the time this day ended, we expressed our gratitude to Mr Salas again for his kindness. It was the sweetest memory I had in my childhood. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者家离一个游乐园很近，在九岁那年，奶奶想办法攒了一点钱，带作者去了那个游乐园，奶奶的钱只能买一张旋转木马的票，作者很开心，作者的开心被工作人员Mr Salas看在眼里，遗憾的是，这次旋转木马之旅结束得太快了，作者不情愿地下了马。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这时，Mr Salas面带温暖的微笑向我们走来。”可知，第一段可描写Mr Salas了解到了作者不能继续坐旋转木马的真相并打算给作者买票。 ②由第二段首句内容“过了一会儿，Mr Salas回来了，手里拿着一张Cedar Point一整天所有游乐设施的票。”可知，第二段可描写Mr Salas给作者买了票，作者玩儿得很开心，作者和奶奶很感激。 2.续写线索：Mr Salas询问——奶奶解释——Mr Salas去买票——Mr Salas给作者票——作者奶奶感激——Mr Salas给作者买爆米花和吹泡泡——作者和奶奶感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/enquire ②解释：explain/interpret ③给：give sth. to sb./hand sth. to sb. 情绪类 ①感谢：gratitude/thankfulness ②高兴：delighted/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1] My grandmother explained to him that we only had enough money for one ride.
