What do we know about the boxes? A. They are controlled remotely. B. They contain varieties of goods. C. They are placed in the neighborhood. 20. How does Geocaching benefit the kids? A. It develops their social skills. B. It exposes them to traditions. C. It makes them willing to walk. 【答案】18. A 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】M: Geocaching is a great way to add interest to any walk. Turning a walk into an adventure is great, and turning it into a treasure hunt is even better. Geocaching involves using your GPS or smartphone to track down one of tens of thousands of secret treasures that have been planted all around the country. Those who know the treasures hide the treasure box and leave clues in the form of mapping so that anyone with a GPS device or smartphone loaded with the Geocaching APP can seek it out. To the finder’s usual delight, most treasure boxes come stuffed with various surprises, such as latest novels, toys or dolls. These boxes are hidden almost everywhere. It will come as no surprise to discover that they are widely hidden in woodland, farmland and along the coast, but we’ve also found them in supermarket, car parks, in woods, at the residence and in community gardens. Finding treasure boxes firstly gives kids a reason to go for a walk and also teaches them micro skills of finding their way around, both digital and traditional. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Must-read New Fiction Books We all have a few tried-and-true fiction favorites, but there’s something special about a brand-new, hot-off-the-press novel.

Detective Sara Kennedy has been sent to investigate a case. But soon after arrival, Sara gets snowed in with the 205 townsfolk living in the same apartment building. Who is hiding the key to the crime? And is there anyone she can truly trust?( 在这本书中，杨讲述了一个发生在小镇上的犯罪故事。萨拉·肯尼迪警探被派去调查一个案子。但在到达后不久，萨拉就和住在同一栋公寓楼里的205个小镇居民住在一起。是谁隐藏了犯罪的关键?还有她真正信任的人吗？)”可知，在这个故事中，萨拉·肯尼迪很难找到真相。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The story of Mary’s fresh start at adulthood is shot through with themes of family, race and discrimination, womanhood and the immigrant reality of feeling torn between cultures. Though struggling with life in London as an African, Mary jumps at every chance to stand on her own feet.( 玛丽成年后重新开始的故事贯穿了家庭、种族和歧视、女性以及在不同文化之间感到撕裂的移民现实等主题。作为一个非洲人，玛丽虽然在伦敦的生活中挣扎，但她抓住每一个自立的机会)”可知，Lady的主题是自立。故选A。 B By the late 1960s, abstract painter Harold Cohen had represented Britain at important festivals with his oil paintings and was seeking a new challenge. “Maybe there are more interesting things going on outside my studio than inside it,” he thought. Cohen turned from the canvas (画布) to the screen, using computers to find new ways of creating art. In the late 1960s, he created a program that he named Aaron. It was the first artificial intelligence software in the world of fine art, and Cohen first presented Aaron in 1974 at the University of California, Berkeley. Aaron’s work has since graced museums from the Tate Gallery in London to the Sand Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Now, with AI dominating the headlines, a new exhibition at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art,“Harold Cohen: Aaron,” running through June 2024, draws attention to Cohen’s pioneering work. The Whitney is offering something deeper than most previous Aaron exhibits: a real-time experience, in which visitors can watch the software produce art. Cohen seeded Aaron with all sorts of knowledge: about basic objects, physics, and fundamental techniques of drawing. Aaron uses this knowledge to follow instructions, complete tasks, and make decisions like human beings - a very different approach from today’s generative AI art programs, which don’t draw from scratch (从头开始) but rather rely on databases of images. Versions of Aaron still generate output, but anything done after Cohen’s death in 2016 is not considered genuine. The Whitney is showcasing two versions of Cohen’s software, along with the art that each produced before Cohen died. The 2001 version, Aaron KCAT, generates images of figures and plants and projects them onto a wall more than ten feet high, while the 2007 version produces jungle-like scenes. The software will also create art physically, on paper, for the first time since the 1990s. “It is absolutely thrilling,” said Christiane Paul, the museum’s director of digital art, “to have one of those remarkable treasures of digital art in the collection.” 24. What was Aaron born out of? A. Harold’s curiosity. B. The museum’s donation. C. Cohen’s imagination. D. The university’s support. 25. What makes Aaron different from modern AI art programs? A. Its ability to assign tasks. B. Its use of modern techniques. C. Its capability to make choices. D. Its dependence on existing database. 26. What can visitors do in the “Harold Cohen: Aaron” exhibition? A. See the original 1960s version of Aaron. B. Generate images with the help of Aaron. C. Learn about the physical rules in art. D. Observe Aaron creating art on the spot. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. The masterpieces of digital art. B. A new show of the art world’s first AI. C. The latest technologies in the Whitney. D. Harold Cohen’s impact on generative AI. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了抽象画家哈罗德·科恩利用计算机程序Aaron创作艺术的先驱性工作，及其在纽约惠特尼美术馆的展览回顾。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中““Maybe there are more interesting things going on outside my studio than inside it,” he thought. Cohen turned from the canvas (画布) to the screen, using computers to find new ways of creating art. In the late 1960s, he created a program that he named Aaron. (“或许，我的画室之外正发生着比之内更为有趣的事情。”他这样想着。科恩于是将注意力从画布转向了屏幕，开始利用电脑寻找创造艺术的新途径。在20世纪60年代末，他创建了一个程序，并将其命名为Aaron)”可知，Aaron的诞生源于哈罗德的好奇心。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Aaron uses this knowledge to follow instructions, complete tasks, and make decisions like human beings - a very different approach from today’s generative AI art programs, which don’t draw from scratch (从头开始) but rather rely on databases of images.(Aaron利用这些知识像人类一样遵循指令、完成任务和做出决定，这与今天的生成性人工智能艺术程序截然不同，后者不是从头开始绘制，而是依赖于图像数据库)”可知，Aaron的不同之处在于它不依赖现有的数据库，而是能够自己做出决策和创作。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Whitney is offering something deeper than most previous Aaron exhibits: a real-time experience, in which visitors can watch the software produce art. (惠特尼博物馆提供的东西比Aaron之前的大多数展览都更有深度：一种实时体验，参观者可以观看软件制作艺术品)”可知，参观者在“Harold Cohen: Aaron”展览上能做的是观察Aaron现场创作艺术。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段中“In the late 1960s, he created a program that he named Aaron. It was the first artificial intelligence software in the world of fine art, and Cohen first presented Aaron in 1974 at the University of California, Berkeley.(在20世纪60年代末，他创建了一个名为Aaron的程序。这是美术界第一个人工智能软件，科恩于1974年在加州大学伯克利分校首次展示了Aaron)”可知，本文主要介绍了艺术家Harold Cohen创造的世界上第一个用于精细艺术领域的人工智能软件Aaron，以及纽约惠特尼美国艺术博物馆举办的展示Aaron及其作品的新展览。因此，文章主要讲述的是艺术界首个人工智能的新展览。故选B。 C Peru is prepared to approve new laws that would make it easier to investigate and punish researchers who engage in academic cheating, including paying to have their names added to a paper. The move comes as Peru’s national science agency seeks to crack down on authorship buying and other dishonest practices. It recently removed two scientists accused of dishonest publications from a national registry that is key to receiving government sponsor, job promotions, and salary bonuses. And officials are investigating more than 170 other researchers at a Peruvian media report claimed were involved in academic misconduct, including 72 listed n the national registry who work at 14 universities in Peru. The new laws will empower universities and government officials to punish such behavior. Dishonest publishing practices “transcend mere moral misbehavior” because they enable researchers to obtain government and private funding without telling the truth, says Edward Málaga Trillo, a member of Congress who is the driving force behind the bills, which lawmakers are expected to finalize early this year. “These individuals are operating academic cheating.” Peru’s academic community has been struggling with a rising tide of false authorship and related problems. One cause, some researchers say, is a 2014 law that aimed to stimulate research by rewarding researchers who boost their publishing output. For example, under a scoring system used by universities, researchers can earn five points for authorship in a high-impact journal, and two points when the journal is lower impact. A massing points can bring bonus payments and career promotion. Signs of dishonest publishing can be obvious, notes Nahuel Monteblanco, president of Cientificos. pe, a Peruvian group that investigates misconduct. Many of the papers cited by Punto Final have numerous co-authors from different nations with few prior publications on the same subject. “If your colleague consistently publishes 20 articles a year with co-authors from other countries, that’s highly suspect,” Monteblanco says. 28. What action did Peru take recently to address academic cheating? A. Fining 72 offenders for academic dishonesty. B. Disqualifying 2 scientists from a national registry. C. Punishing 170 researchers for academic misconduct. D. Withdrawing government fund from 14 universities. 29. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “transcend” in paragraph 3? A. Change. B. Strengthen. C. Go beyond. D. Approve of. 30. What do we know about the 2014 law in Peru? A. It advocated a fair scoring system. B. It applied to high-impact journals. C. It led to an increase in false authorship. D. It aimed to punish dishonest publishing. 31. The most suspicion might be given to a productive researcher with _________. A. career promotion B. consistent research focus C. few citations by Punto Final D. co-authors from various countries 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍秘鲁准备通过新的法律，以便更容易地调查和惩罚从事学术作弊的研究人员并解释作弊的原因和现象等。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It recently removed two scientists accused of dishonest publications from a national registry that is key to receiving government sponsor, job promotions, and salary bonuses. (它最近将两名被指控发表不诚实文章的科学家从国家登记处除名，而国家登记处是获得政府资助、工作晋升和工资奖金的关键。)”可知秘鲁最近采取了从国家注册中心取消2名科学家资格来解决学术作弊问题。故选B。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“because they enable researchers to obtain government and private funding without telling the truth, says Edward Málaga Trillo, a member of Congress who is the driving force behind the bills, which lawmakers are expected to finalize early this year. “These individuals are operating academic cheating.” (因为它们使研究人员能够在不讲真话的情况下获得政府和私人资助，他是这些法案背后的推动力量，立法者预计将在今年年初完成这些法案。“这些人在搞学术作弊。” )”由此可推断上文意思是国会议员Edward Málaga Trillo说，不诚实的出版行为“超越了单纯的道德不端行为”，所以transcend意为“超越”，和“Go beyond”同义，故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One cause, some researchers say, is a 2014 law that aimed to stimulate research by rewarding researchers who boost their publishing output. For example, under a scoring system used by universities, researchers can earn five points for authorship in a high-impact journal, and two points when the journal is lower impact. A massing points can bring bonus payments and career promotion. (一些研究人员表示，其中一个原因是2014年的一项法律，该法律旨在通过奖励提高论文发表量的研究人员来刺激研究。例如，在大学使用的评分系统下，研究人员在高影响力期刊上的作者可以获得5分，在期刊影响力较低的期刊上可以获得2分。大量的积分可以带来奖金和职业晋升。)”可知研究人员会想办法提高论文的发表量，这样就会导致虚假作者的增加，故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Many of the papers cited by Punto Final have numerous co-authors from different nations with few prior publications on the same subject. “If your colleague consistently publishes 20 articles a year with co-authors from other countries, that’s highly suspect,” Monteblanco says. (Punto Final引用的许多论文都有来自不同国家的许多共同作者，在同一主题上很少有先前的出版物。蒙特布兰科说：“如果你的同事每年与其他国家的合著者持续发表20篇文章，那就非常值得怀疑了。”)” 可知最值得怀疑的可能是拥有来自不同国家的合著者，故选D。 D Evolution (进化) can perform extraordinary makeovers; today’s airborne songbirds evolved from the wingless, earthbound dinosaurs that wandered millions of years ago. But some organisms seem to be unchanged — in other words, escape natural selection. The coelacanth, a modern-day fish, is nearly identical to its 410-million-year-old fossils. Scientists have long wondered how these species do so. It has been assumed that natural selection keeps some species unchanged by selecting for moderate or average qualities (stabilizing selection) rather than selecting for more extreme qualities that would cause a species to change (directional selection). But a study published in the National Academy of Sciences USA contradicts this idea, showing that evolution constantly favors different qualities in seemingly unchanging animals to improve short-term survival. In the long term, though, “all that evolution cancels out and leads to no change,” says the study’s lead author, James Stroud. Stroud and his colleagues studied for lizard (蜥蜴) specios; all relatively unchanged for 20 million years. The researchers caught members of these populations every six months for three years. They measured each lizard’s head size, leg length, mass and height, as well as the size of its sticky toes (脚趾头), noting which individuals survived. Stroud expected to observe stabılızıng selection at work preserving moderate qualities. Instead he saw clearer evidence of directional selection: some lizards with unique characteristics, such as stickier toes, survived better. “The study offers a good explanation for why we see what we think is stabiliring selection,” says Tadashi Fukami, an ecologist studying evolution at Stanford University. Many new qualities are evolving in the short term, but they don’t provide a crucial advantage over the long term. In other words, species staying unchanged may simply have found the best possible combination of qualities for lasting success in their environment. So what happens when the lizards’ environment changes more dramatically? To help answer this bigger question, Stroud is still making trips to visit the lizards. 32. Why does the author mention the “coelacanth fish” in paragraph 1? A. To demonstrate the power of evolution. B. To add evidence to natural selection. C. To give an example of unchanged species. D. To prove species' extraordinary makeovers. 33. What's the focus of paragraph 2? A. Unsolved mysteries. B. A common belief. C. A sharp contrast. D. Unique Characteristics. 34. How did Stroud conduct his research? A. By analyzing lizard fossils. B. By tracking research objects. C. By illustrating stabilizing selection. D. By categorizing qualities of lizards. 35. What will Stroud probably do in the future? A. Make trips to visit lizard experts. B. Summarize average features of lizards. C. Reveal the best combinations of qualities. D. Examine lizards under extreme conditions. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过介绍科学家对看似没有发生变化的生物物种进行研究，揭示了这些物种在进化过程中的选择机制。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Evolution (进化) can perform extraordinary makeovers; today’s airborne songbirds evolved from the wingless, earthbound dinosaurs that wandered millions of years ago. But some organisms seem to be unchanged —in other words, escape natural selection. The coelacanth, a modern-day fish, is nearly identical to its410-million-year-old fossils.(进化能够产生非凡的变化；今天在空中飞翔的鸣鸟是从数百万年前无翅、陆生的恐龙演化而来的。但有些生物似乎没有改变——换句话说，它们逃脱了自然选择。现代鱼类腔棘鱼与其4.1亿年前的化石几乎一模一样)”可知，本段提到腔棘鱼是为了举一个物种不变的例子。故选C项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Scientists have long wondered how these species do so. It has been assumed that natural selection keeps some species unchanged by selecting for moderate or average qualities (stabilizing selection) rather than selecting for more extreme qualities that would cause a species to change (directional selection).(科学家们长期以来一直想知道这些物种是如何做到这一点的。人们一直认为，自然选择通过选择适中或平均的品质（稳定选择）来保持某些物种的不变性，而不是选择会导致物种发生变化的更极端的品质（定向选择）。)”可知，本段主要讲述了人们一直认为自然选择是稳定选择而不是定向选择，也就是一个共同的信念。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Stroud and his colleagues studied for lizard (蜥蜴) specios; all relatively unchanged for 20 million years. The researchers caught members of these populations every six months for three years. They measured each lizard’s head size, leg length, mass and height, as well as the size of its sticky toes (脚趾头), noting which individuals survived.

Instead he saw clearer evidence of directional selection: some lizards with unique characteristics, such as stickier toes, survived better.(斯特劳德和他的同事研究了蜥蜴物种；所有这些在2000万年间都相对没有变化。研究人员连续三年每六个月捕捉这些种群中的成员。他们测量了每只蜥蜴的头部大小、腿长、体重和身高，以及粘性脚趾的大小，并记录了哪些个体存活了下来。斯特劳德原本希望观察到稳定选择在保持中等品质方面的作用。然而，他看到的却是更明确的定向选择证据：一些具有独特特征的蜥蜴，比如更粘的脚趾，存活率更高)”可知，斯特劳德是通过跟踪研究对象来进行他的研究的。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In other words, species staying unchanged may simply have found the best possible combination of qualities for lasting success in their environment. So what happens when the lizards’ environment changes more dramatically? To help answer this bigger question, Stroud is still making trips to visit the lizards.(换句话说，保持不变的物种可能只是找到了在其环境中持久成功的最佳品质组合。那么，当蜥蜴的环境发生更剧烈的变化时会发生什么呢？为了帮助回答这个更大的问题，斯特劳德仍在继续探访这些蜥蜴)”可知，接下来斯特劳德会在极端条件下检查蜥蜴。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。 How to charge an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the biggest concerns people have when working out whether going electric is right for them. It is true that sometimes gaining access to reliable charging can seem a bit tricky. ____36____ First, download an app with a comprehensive map of the public charging points showing their locations, how powerful they are, and whether they’re working. All this is vital information because, even if you have public charging points nearby, you will need alternatives in case they’re in use.____37____ A growing number of property owners are renting out their charging points and drive ways to other local EV drivers when they’re not using them.____38____ Thus, your car gets charged, the owners make money, and emissions are reduced. ____39____ For example, when your car is running out of juice, you’d just pull up to a battery-change station from your car brand and sit in the car while a fully charged unit is changed in. The Chinese EV brand Nio does this, but isn’t available in the UK as yet. For now, if charging access remains difficult for you, it’s still possible to go electric—in part.____40____ Many hybrid (混合) cars are now good for 50 miles of electric running before you need to use the engine. So, if most of your driving is local, you might only need to find a charger once or twice a week, while you have the backup of a fuel engine for long journeys. A. But it may be easier than you think. B. It actually worked out much cheaper. C. There are also other innovative ways to get your EV going. D. A plug-in EV combines a petrol engine with a smaller battery. E. A “fast” charger usually takes eight hours to fully charge an EV. F. So you need to get a good feel for where your nearest points are. G. You can find a map of homeowners whose charging points are available. 【答案】36. A 37. F 38. G 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些给电动汽车找到可靠的充电电源的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“It is true that sometimes gaining access to reliable charging can seem a bit tricky.(的确，有时获得可靠的充电似乎有点棘手。)”和下文介绍的方法可知，上文提到获取可靠的充电可能会有点棘手，而下文则给出了解决这个问题的方法，因此可以推断出，虽然获取充电可能有些困难，但实际上可能比你想象的要容易一些。A项：But it may be easier than you think.(但这可能比你想象的要容易。)符合语境。故选A。 【37题详解】 根据上文“All this is vital information because, even if you have public charging points nearby, you will need alternatives in case they’re in use.(所有这些都是至关重要的信息，因为即使你附近有公共充电点，你也需要替代品以防它们被使用。)”可知，上文提到，即使附近有公共充电点，你也需要备用方案以防它们被占用。因此，你需要了解最近的充电点的位置，以便在需要时能够找到它们。F项：So you need to get a good feel for where your nearest points are.(所以你需要对离你最近的充电点有一个很好的了解。)符合语境。故选F。 【38题详解】 根据上文“A growing number of property owners are renting out their charging points and drive ways to other local EV drivers when they’re not using them.(越来越多的业主在不使用充电点和车道时将其出租给其他当地电动汽车司机。)”可知，上文提到越来越多的业主将其充电点和车道出租给其他本地电动车司机，因此可以推断出需要一种方式来找到这些可用的充电点。G项：You can find a map of homeowners whose charging points are available.(你可以在地图上找到有充电站的房主。)符合语境。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据下文“For example, when your car is running out of juice, you’d just pull up to a battery-change station from your car brand and sit in the car while a fully charged unit is changed in.(例如，当你的车没电了，你只需把车停在你的汽车品牌的电池更换站，坐在车里等待充满电的电池更换。)”可知，下文提到了换电站的例子，说明除了上文提到的充电方法，还有其他创新的方式可以让电动车充电后行驶。C项：There are also other innovative ways to get your EV going.(还有其他创新的方法可以让你的电动汽车行驶起来。)符合语境。故选C。 【40题详解】 根据上文“For now, if charging access remains difficult for you, it’s still possible to go electric-in part.(就目前而言，如果充电对你来说仍然很困难，在某种程度上，还是有可能使用电动汽车的。)”可知，上文提到，如果充电仍然困难，仍然有可能选择使用电动车。而D选项提到的插电式电动汽车（plug-in EV）正好符合这种描述，它结合了汽油发动机和较小的电池。D项：A plug-in EV combines a petrol engine with a smaller battery.(插入式电动汽车将汽油发动机和较小的电池结合在一起。)符合语境。故选D。 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。 My father, Paul Andrew Figura, was a die-hard fisherman.

But people like me who routinely put off doing assignments, are likely to defend our “slower” approach to getting tasks done. I'm the only procrastination in my family. My parents and sister were all born with the “do it right now” gift. They are always in a rush, as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally, I prefer a more relaxed pace. When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies, saying “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” “No way!” I responded, confidently presenting my research as a defense. It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project. In these cases, delaying a decision can be beneficial. This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them, which could lead to more creative solutions. My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride. My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister’s…or so I thought. At school we’d been talking about architecture and design. As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr. Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete. We were expected to choose our materials, construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class. Not only would the winners receive extra credit, but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the cafeteria. “I have no clue how I could get it done,” my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn’t say anything. Not because I shared his anxiety but because I was not nervous at all. I loved hands-on projects! Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone. So relaxed was I that I didn’t give it a second thought for weeks. 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。 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That taught me a great lesson. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para.1 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I hastily and quickly glued together what I pulled out from our recycle bin, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. Several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed constructions. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was obvious that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had. Para.2 That taught me a great lesson. I learnt from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks on time, but also I felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了有拖延症的作者在面对老师布置的项目时，拖延到最后一天慌忙潦草地完成，结果很糟糕，作者从中吸取了教训，不再拖延的故事。家人对作者的拖延而担忧，作者在无理地辩护。一次，大学老师提前一个月布置了期末任务，作者拖延到最后一天才匆忙潦草地完成，看到别人因付出了很多时间而受到表扬的优秀作品，作者感到从中吸取了教训，不再做一个拖延者。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不知不觉中，我只剩下一天的时间来完成这个项目了。”可知，第一段可描写作者因为拖延到最后一天完成作业，手忙脚乱地匆忙完成，结果很糟糕。其他人的优秀作品受到了表扬，作者感到尴尬。 ②由第二段首句内容“那件事给了我很大的教训。”可知，第二段可描写作者为做到不拖延而做的努力和成功，更早地处理事情，不再是一个拖延者。 2.续写线索：作者拖延症严重——家人为其担忧——作者无理辩护——老师布置期末任务——拖延到最后潦草完成——结果糟糕——感到尴尬——吸取教训——不再拖延 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.颤抖：shaking/ trembling/quivering ②.处理：tackled/dealt with/handled ③.完成：finish/accomplish/complete 情绪类 ①. 高度赞扬：highly praised/speak highly of/highly acclaimed ②. 尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward/abashed 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Whether it’s your favorite author’s new release or a new writer’s first work, great fiction books make the perfect escape from ordinary life. That’s why we’ve rounded up a list of the best new books released in February. Age of Gold by Jerry Lapoor Jerry Lapoor’s latest action-packed novel unfolds like a crazy movie. This thriller begins when a wealthy man’s car gets out of control. But when the dust settles, the rich man is nowhere to be found. How and to where does he disappear? With an exciting plot that will carry you from old-money houses to small agricultural villages, Age of Cold will take you on an unforgettable ride across a vast land. City Under One Sky by Rachel Young In the book, Young presents a crime story set in a small town. Detective Sara Kennedy has been sent to investigate a case. But soon after arrival, Sara gets snowed in with the 205 townsfolk living in the same apartment building. Who is hiding the key to the crime? And is there anyone she can truly trust? The appealing story, strange but distinctive characters and unexpected plot are just a few of the reasons why City Under One Sky gains its popularity.

The story of Mary’s fresh start at adulthood is shot through with themes of family, race and discrimination, womanhood and the immigrant reality of feeling torn between cultures. Though struggling with life in London as an African, Mary jumps at every chance to stand on her own feet. 21. What will impress the readers in Age of Gold? A. The thrilling plot. B. Traditional cultures. C. The family conflict. D. Crazy characters. 22. What happens to Sara Kennedy in City Under One Sky? A. She is trapped in the snow. B. She is to investigate a case abroad. C. She hides the key evidence. D. She has trouble discovering the truth. 23. Which is likely to be the main theme of Lady? A. Self-reliance. B. Gender equality. C. Domestic violence. D. Cross-cultural communication. B By the late 1960s, abstract painter Harold Cohen had represented Britain at important festivals with his oil paintings and was seeking a new challenge. “Maybe there are more interesting things going on outside my studio than inside it,” he thought. Cohen turned from the canvas (画布) to the screen, using computers to find new ways of creating art. In the late 1960s, he created a program that he named Aaron. It was the first artificial intelligence software in the world of fine art, and Cohen first presented Aaron in 1974 at the University of California, Berkeley. Aaron’s work has since graced museums from the Tate Gallery in London to the Sand Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Now, with AI dominating the headlines, a new exhibition at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art,“Harold Cohen: Aaron,” running through June 2024, draws attention to Cohen’s pioneering work. The Whitney is offering something deeper than most previous Aaron exhibits: a real-time experience, in which visitors can watch the software produce art. Cohen seeded Aaron with all sorts of knowledge: about basic objects, physics, and fundamental techniques of drawing. Aaron uses this knowledge to follow instructions, complete tasks, and make decisions like human beings - a very different approach from today’s generative AI art programs, which don’t draw from scratch (从头开始) but rather rely on databases of images. Versions of Aaron still generate output, but anything done after Cohen’s death in 2016 is not considered genuine. The Whitney is showcasing two versions of Cohen’s software, along with the art that each produced before Cohen died. The 2001 version, Aaron KCAT, generates images of figures and plants and projects them onto a wall more than ten feet high, while the 2007 version produces jungle-like scenes. The software will also create art physically, on paper, for the first time since the 1990s. “It is absolutely thrilling,” said Christiane Paul, the museum’s director of digital art, “to have one of those remarkable treasures of digital art in the collection.” 24. What was Aaron born out of? A. Harold’s curiosity. B. The museum’s donation. C. Cohen’s imagination. D. The university’s support. 25. What makes Aaron different from modern AI art programs? A. Its ability to assign tasks. B. Its use of modern techniques. C. Its capability to make choices. D. Its dependence on existing database. 26. What can visitors do in the “Harold Cohen: Aaron” exhibition? A. See the original 1960s version of Aaron. B. Generate images with the help of Aaron. C. Learn about the physical rules in art. D. Observe Aaron creating art on the spot. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. The masterpieces of digital art. B. A new show of the art world’s first AI. C. The latest technologies in the Whitney. D. Harold Cohen’s impact on generative AI. C Peru is prepared to approve new laws that would make it easier to investigate and punish researchers who engage in academic cheating, including paying to have their names added to a paper. The move comes as Peru’s national science agency seeks to crack down on authorship buying and other dishonest practices. It recently removed two scientists accused of dishonest publications from a national registry that is key to receiving government sponsor, job promotions, and salary bonuses. And officials are investigating more than 170 other researchers at a Peruvian media report claimed were involved in academic misconduct, including 72 listed n the national registry who work at 14 universities in Peru. The new laws will empower universities and government officials to punish such behavior. Dishonest publishing practices “transcend mere moral misbehavior” because they enable researchers to obtain government and private funding without telling the truth, says Edward Málaga Trillo, a member of Congress who is the driving force behind the bills, which lawmakers are expected to finalize early this year. “These individuals are operating academic cheating.” Peru’s academic community has been struggling with a rising tide of false authorship and related problems. One cause, some researchers say, is a 2014 law that aimed to stimulate research by rewarding researchers who boost their publishing output. For example, under a scoring system used by universities, researchers can earn five points for authorship in a high-impact journal, and two points when the journal is lower impact. A massing points can bring bonus payments and career promotion. Signs of dishonest publishing can be obvious, notes Nahuel Monteblanco, president of Cientificos. pe, a Peruvian group that investigates misconduct. Many of the papers cited by Punto Final have numerous co-authors from different nations with few prior publications on the same subject. “If your colleague consistently publishes 20 articles a year with co-authors from other countries, that’s highly suspect,” Monteblanco says. 28. What action did Peru take recently to address academic cheating? A. Fining 72 offenders for academic dishonesty. B. Disqualifying 2 scientists from a national registry. C. Punishing 170 researchers for academic misconduct. D. Withdrawing government fund from 14 universities. 29. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “transcend” in paragraph 3? A. Change. B. Strengthen. C. Go beyond. D. Approve of. 30. What do we know about the 2014 law in Peru? A. It advocated a fair scoring system. B. It applied to high-impact journals. C. It led to an increase in false authorship. D. It aimed to punish dishonest publishing. 31. The most suspicion might be given to a productive researcher with _________. A. career promotion B. consistent research focus C. few citations by Punto Final D. co-authors from various countries D Evolution (进化) can perform extraordinary makeovers; today’s airborne songbirds evolved from the wingless, earthbound dinosaurs that wandered millions of years ago. But some organisms seem to be unchanged — in other words, escape natural selection. The coelacanth, a modern-day fish, is nearly identical to its 410-million-year-old fossils. Scientists have long wondered how these species do so. It has been assumed that natural selection keeps some species unchanged by selecting for moderate or average qualities (stabilizing selection) rather than selecting for more extreme qualities that would cause a species to change (directional selection). But a study published in the National Academy of Sciences USA contradicts this idea, showing that evolution constantly favors different qualities in seemingly unchanging animals to improve short-term survival. In the long term, though, “all that evolution cancels out and leads to no change,” says the study’s lead author, James Stroud. Stroud and his colleagues studied for lizard (蜥蜴) specios; all relatively unchanged for 20 million years. The researchers caught members of these populations every six months for three years. They measured each lizard’s head size, leg length, mass and height, as well as the size of its sticky toes (脚趾头), noting which individuals survived. Stroud expected to observe stabılızıng selection at work preserving moderate qualities. Instead he saw clearer evidence of directional selection: some lizards with unique characteristics, such as stickier toes, survived better. “The study offers a good explanation for why we see what we think is stabiliring selection,” says Tadashi Fukami, an ecologist studying evolution at Stanford University. Many new qualities are evolving in the short term, but they don’t provide a crucial advantage over the long term. In other words, species staying unchanged may simply have found the best possible combination of qualities for lasting success in their environment. So what happens when the lizards’ environment changes more dramatically? To help answer this bigger question, Stroud is still making trips to visit the lizards. 32. Why does the author mention the “coelacanth fish” in paragraph 1? A. To demonstrate the power of evolution. B. To add evidence to natural selection. C. To give an example of unchanged species. D. To prove species' extraordinary makeovers. 33. What's the focus of paragraph 2? A. Unsolved mysteries. B. A common belief. C. A sharp contrast. D. Unique Characteristics. 34. How did Stroud conduct his research? A. By analyzing lizard fossils. B. By tracking research objects. C. By illustrating stabilizing selection. D. By categorizing qualities of lizards. 35. What will Stroud probably do in the future? A. Make trips to visit lizard experts. B. Summarize average features of lizards. C. Reveal the best combinations of qualities. D. Examine lizards under extreme conditions. 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。 How to charge an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the biggest concerns people have when working out whether going electric is right for them. It is true that sometimes gaining access to reliable charging can seem a bit tricky. ____36____ First, download an app with a comprehensive map of the public charging points showing their locations, how powerful they are, and whether they’re working. All this is vital information because, even if you have public charging points nearby, you will need alternatives in case they’re in use.____37____ A growing number of property owners are renting out their charging points and drive ways to other local EV drivers when they’re not using them.____38____ Thus, your car gets charged, the owners make money, and emissions are reduced. ____39____ For example, when your car is running out of juice, you’d just pull up to a battery-change station from your car brand and sit in the car while a fully charged unit is changed in. The Chinese EV brand Nio does this, but isn’t available in the UK as yet. For now, if charging access remains difficult for you, it’s still possible to go electric—in part.____40____ Many hybrid (混合) cars are now good for 50 miles of electric running before you need to use the engine. So, if most of your driving is local, you might only need to find a charger once or twice a week, while you have the backup of a fuel engine for long journeys. A. But it may be easier than you think. B. It actually worked out much cheaper. C. There are also other innovative ways to get your EV going. D. A plug-in EV combines a petrol engine with a smaller battery. E. A “fast” charger usually takes eight hours to fully charge an EV. F. So you need to get a good feel for where your nearest points are. G. You can find a map of homeowners whose charging points are available. 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。 My father, Paul Andrew Figura, was a die-hard fisherman.

But people like me who routinely put off doing assignments, are likely to defend our “slower” approach to getting tasks done. I'm the only procrastination in my family. My parents and sister were all born with the “do it right now” gift. They are always in a rush, as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally, I prefer a more relaxed pace. When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies, saying “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” “No way!” I responded, confidently presenting my research as a defense. It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project. In these cases, delaying a decision can be beneficial. This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them, which could lead to more creative solutions. My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride. My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister’s…or so I thought. At school we’d been talking about architecture and design. As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr. Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete. We were expected to choose our materials, construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class. Not only would the winners receive extra credit, but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the cafeteria. “I have no clue how I could get it done,” my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn’t say anything. Not because I shared his anxiety but because I was not nervous at all. I loved hands-on projects! Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone. So relaxed was I that I didn’t give it a second thought for weeks. 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。 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That taught me a great lesson. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
