As I established my own research lab, a senior colleague encouraged me to try something big. So when I landed an associate professor position, my goal seemed obvious: I should perform big projects. This was the only way to lay a foundation for a successful academic research career. The path, however, would not be as clear as I had pictured. When I contacted famous researchers to suggest cooperating, as is typically required for high-profile projects, they frequently replied enthusiastically to start, agreeing my project sounded interesting and promising. But when they learned I had just established my lab, they became skeptical and hesitant, ultimately saying no. And when I sought grant funding, my lack of experience and reputation was cited as a reason to deny support for my ambitious proposals. I spent about two years being stuck in this mindset, excited about my big ideas but making little actual progress, leading to frustration and depression. As I neared my breaking point, I began to ask myself: were big projects really the only route? When I shifted to small projects, I became brave enough to step into fields I was not familiar with. By reading papers in new areas, I found creative ideas to pursue. When I discussed these adventurous, low-cost projects with early-career researchers, they were glad to cooperate. We secured funding. When I published papers out of these projects, they were not exciting enough to make headlines — but for me, it was a moment of joy and self-contentment. It has now been 3 years since I embraced this “small” approach. Sometimes senior colleagues say I’m wasting time with projects that aren’t important enough. But I disagree. When I do these studies, I also find clues for future big projects. Going forward, I will still commit part of my time to exploring small projects, which I think can help pursue more fundamental questions 24. What is the author trying to do with big projects? A. Establish an academic research center. B. Pursue his graduate studies. C. Seek a route to academic success. D. Apply for an associate professorship. 25. What prevented the author pursuing his big project? A. The toughness of work. B. The opposition from colleagues. C. Lack of necessary support. D. Shortage of academic talents. 26. How did the author carry out his small project? A. By publishing influential papers. B. By getting young colleagues’ funding. C. By cooperating with senior colleagues. D. By exploring and initiating new ideas. 27. What does the author learn from his experience? A. Good jobs require a high degree. B. Small doesn’t mean unimportant. C. Success results from preparation. D. Ambition isn’t fit for the young. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者本想通过大项目当作寻求学术成功的途径，但是由于缺乏经验和声誉没能成功。 后来作者转向小项目，找到了可以追求的创造性想法，逐步走向成功。 由此作者感悟到在创业过程中小项目不代表不重要，而且有助于解决更基本的问题。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This was the only way to lay a foundation for a successful academic research career. (这是为成功的学术研究生涯奠定基础的唯一途径。)”可知，作者想用大项目当作寻求学术成功的途径。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But when they learned I had just established my lab, they became skeptical and hesitant, ultimately saying no. And when I sought grant funding, my lack of experience and reputation was cited as a reason to deny support for my ambitious proposals. (但当他们得知我刚刚建立了实验室时，他们开始怀疑和犹豫，最终拒绝了。当我寻求拨款时，我缺乏经验和声誉被认为是拒绝支持我雄心勃勃的提议的原因。)”可知，缺乏必要的支持阻止了作者追求他的大项目。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“When I shifted to small projects, I became brave enough to step into fields I was not familiar with. By reading papers in new areas, I found creative ideas to pursue. (当我转向小项目时，我变得足够勇敢，踏入了我不熟悉的领域。通过阅读新领域的论文，我找到了可以追求的创造性想法。)”可知，作者通过探索和提出新的想法进行他的小项目的。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Going forward, I will still commit part of my time to exploring small projects, which I think can help pursue more fundamental questions (展望未来，我仍将把部分时间用于探索小项目，我认为这有助于解决更基本的问题)”可知，作者从他的经历中学到小不代表不重要。故选B。 C Many parents worry that showing negative emotions in front of their children will cause them to suffer. For example, children may end up thinking it’s their fault or simply “catch” the emotion. Indeed, this worry has a sound basis—the phenomenon of “emotional contagion” (情绪感染) is real, and one recent study found that parents can transfer their fear of going to the dentist, for example, to their children. On the other hand, there is the natural idea that we should “be real” with our children, and that they will benefit from watching a parent who struggles and eventually deals with their negative emotions like any other human being. There are three concepts to consider when it comes to emotional display in front of children: suppression, “uncontained” expression, and talking about emotions. Suppression of emotion is when you hide the outward signs of an emotion. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work very well—the act of suppressing your emotion actually increases your blood pressure. Observers can pick up on your distress despite your efforts to hide it, making them feel stressed. The recent research has also found that when parents feel negative emotions and keep them from their children, they experience lower relationship quality and decreased responsiveness to their child’s needs. On the other hand, “uncontained” expression of anger and sadness by the parent is also not salutary for the child. Uncontained means high intensity emotion, with no attempts to regulate or take ownership of it. Shouting, smashing (摔) things and blaming someone else for “making you angry” are all example of this. So, what is the middle ground? That would be talking about emotion taking ownership of them and showing your child that you are trying to deal with them. Classic research found that six-year-old kids had better emotional understanding and perspective-taking skills if their mothers had talked to them about their emotions at the age of three. In fact, the more the mothers had talked, the better the outcome would be. So next time you feel sad, angry or frustrated and your child is watching you expressing emotion, do explain what’s going on in terms they can understand. 28. The author uses the example of going to the dentist mainly to ________. A. introduce the topic of negative emotions B. explain parents’ common fear C. show children may catch parents’ emotions D. present the consequences of transferring negative emotions 29. If a mother suppresses her emotions, ________. A. she will not make her kids feel stressed B. she can hide her emotions from her kids C. she can’t respond effectively to her kids’ needs D. she will often shout at her kids for no reasons 30. What does the underlined word “salutary” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. significant B. reliable C. meaningful D. beneficial 31. What’s the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕父母在孩子面前表现情绪的问题展开讨论，提出了不同的观点并进行了分析。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Indeed, this worry has a sound basis—the phenomenon of “emotional contagion” (情绪感染) is real, and one recent study found that parents can transfer their fear of going to the dentist, for example, to their children.(事实上，这种担忧有充分的依据——“情绪传染”现象是真实存在的，最近的一项研究发现，父母可以将他们对看牙医的恐惧转移到孩子身上)”可知，作者用去看牙医的例子主要是为了表明孩子可能会受到父母清醒的传染，也会和父母有同样的情绪。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Suppression of emotion is when you hide the outward signs of an emotion. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work very well—the act of suppressing your emotion actually increases your blood pressure.(抑制情绪是指隐藏情绪的外在表现。不幸的是，这并不是很有效——压抑情绪的行为实际上会增加你的血压)”以及“The recent research has also found that when parents feel negative emotions and keep them from their children, they experience lower relationship quality and decreased responsiveness to their child’s needs.(最近的研究还发现，当父母感受到负面情绪并对孩子隐瞒这些情绪时，他们的关系质量会下降，对孩子需求的反应也会下降)”可知，如果一个母亲压抑她的情绪，她就不能有效地对孩子的需求做出反应。故选C。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“also”可推测，“不受控制地达愤怒和悲伤”对孩子的影响和上一种情况——抑制情绪对孩子的影响一样。根据上一段“Unfortunately, it doesn’t work very well —the act of suppressing your emotion actually increases your blood pressure. Observers can pick up on your distress despite your efforts to hide it, making them feel stressed. The recent research has also found that when parents feel negative emotions and keep them from their children, they experience lower relationship quality and decreased responsiveness to their child’s needs. (不幸的是，这并不是很有效——压抑情绪的行为实际上会增加你的血压。尽管你努力隐藏，但旁观者还是会发现你的痛苦，让他们感到压力。最近的研究还发现，当父母感受到负面情绪并对孩子隐瞒这些情绪时，他们的关系质量会下降，对孩子需求的反应也会下降)”可知，压抑情绪对孩子没有好处。由此可知，划线单词和“有好处的、有益的”意思相似。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章首先在第一段和第二段提出了一个引起争议的话题——父母在孩子面前表现负面情绪的担忧。然后，作者在第三、四和五段中分析了在孩子面前表现情绪的三种情况：压抑情绪、“不受控制的”表达，以及谈论情绪。最后一段中，作者建议父母应该和孩子谈论情绪。故选B。 D The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative (有生产力的) artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts. Sora is not the first of its kind. Google, Meta and Runway ML are among the other companies to have developed similar technology. But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers. A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion, or prompt, on X. The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked, gnocchi (意大利团子), as well as the setting — an old Italian country kitchen. The prompt said: “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi, hosted by a grandmother — a social media influencer, set in a rustic (土气的) Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described. The tool is not yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects. The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press, the source of this report, to license its text news archive (档案). OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public. The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially (对立地) testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.” 32. What makes Sora impressive? A. Its artificial intelligence history. B. Its extraordinary video quality. C. Its ethical and societal influence. D. Its written commands and prompts. 33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6? A. The company’s current challenge. B. The company’s advanced technology. C. The company’s problems in management. D. The company’s efforts for Sora’s improvement. 34. What can we infer from the text? A. Some disagreements over Sora have arisen. B. Sora is the first text-to-video generator in history. C. OpenAI CEO Altman wrote a prompt as an example. D. All the details about how Sora was built have been shared. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards Sora? A. Pessimistic. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Cautious. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了OpenAI新推出了一款文本到视频生成器Sora，文章介绍了其特点以及其争议。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers.(但OpenAI显示的高质量视频——其中一些是在首席执行官Sam Altman要求社交媒体用户发送书面提示的想法后发布的——让观察者感到惊讶。)”可知，Sora让人印象深刻的是其非凡的视频质量，故选B。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第六段“The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially(对立地)testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”(该公司补充说，它正在与“红队成员”合作开发Sora。红队成员试图发现问题并提出有用的建议。该公司表示：“我们与红队合作，他们将对该模式进行对立的测试。我们还在构建一些工具来帮助检测误导性内容，比如一个检测分类器，它可以判断视频是由Sora生成的。”)可知，第六段主要介绍了公司为Sora的改进所做的努力，与红队合作，并构建一些工具来帮助检测其误导性的内容，故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects.( OpenAI提供的关于它是如何构建的信息有限。该公司也没有说明用于训练Sora的图像和视频来源。与此同时，视频结果引发了人们对可能产生的道德和社会影响的担忧。)”可知，视频结果引发了人们对可能产生的道德和社会影响的担忧，由此可推知，社会上就Sora出现了一些分歧，故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative(有生产力的)artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts.(ChatGPT的制造商最近宣布了其向生成人工智能的下一步行动。基于旧金山的OpenAI新的文本到视频生成器Sora是一种基于书面命令(称为提示)即时制作短视频的工具。)”可知，主要介绍了OpenAI新推出了一款文本到视频生成器 Sora，全文作者客观的在陈述Sora的特点、社会对其的争议以及该公司为了Sora的改进所做的努力，故可推知作者对Sora的态度是中立的，故选C。 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。 In the busy and fast-paced world we live in today keeping a healthy eating routine within changing schedules and various family preferences can seem like an huge challenge. Below are some tips to help establish a balanced and healthy approach to eating in today’s family life. Embrace mindful eating. Mindfulness transforms eating into a nurturing (养育) practice encouraging a deep connect ion with how food affects your body and mood. When you eat, take the time to really notice your food — eat slowly and without distractions. ____36____ It also leads to more fulfilling and healthful eating experiences, regardless of what is going on around you. ____37____ Consider establishing guidelines that encourage eating without distractions such as TVs, phones or other electronic devices. These guidelines will help everyone at the table to fully engage with their food and with each other. This practice not only promote the enjoyment of meals but also support healthier eating habits by focusing attention on the meal and the company, enriching the shared experience. Establish a flexible meal routine. Finding a common mealtime can be challenging due to varying schedules. ____38____ If you’re hungry earlier, empower (授权) yourself to eat when you feel the need. There’s beauty in flexibility; you can still share quality time with loved ones by sitting together at the table when they eat, even if you’re not eating yourself. ____39____ It’s about finding balance between personal nutrition needs and family well-being.

Here in Xi’an, the capital of China’s Shaanxi province and one of the country’s oldest cities, the craft of noodle-pulling is so twisted together with the blowing sound that the noise ended up ____57____ (inspire) this dish’s curious name: biang biang noodles. The onomatopoeic(拟声的) “biang” character ____58____ (mean) to imitate the sound of flour mixed with water hitting a counter. It is also ____59____ (complex) to write than any character in the Chinese language. In the past centuries, Shaanxi’s biang biang noodles were no more than a humble local dish. Compared to other noodle ____60____ (variety) from north-west China, biang biang were less known outside of Xi’an, ___61___ they were a comforting and be loved food among locals, for ____62____ the back story and written character were common knowledge. In recent years, biang biang noodles and its associated custom have become more widely known across China, ____63____ (drive) in part by social media interest in the made-up biang character. Now, the dish is passing through land and sea from its humble beginnings ____64____ the hearts and mouths of diners the world over— _____65_____ breakthrough that many people haven’t expected to be delightful. 【答案】56. officially 57. inspiring 58. is meant 59. more complex 60. varieties 61. but##yet 62. whom 63. driven 64. to 65. a 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了陕西的特色美食——biangbiang面的起源及发展。 【56题详解】 考查副词。句意：中国的biangbiang面风靡世界，但是这道菜的名字并不正式存在。动词exist(存在)应用副词officially来修饰，意为“正式地”，故填officially。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：句意：在中国陕西省省会西安——中国最古老的城市之一，拉面被摔打，然后如此地缠来缠去，以至于拉面摔打产生的噪声最终激发人们，给这道菜起了一个奇特名字：biangbiang面。 end up后接动名词作宾语。故填inspiring。 【58题详解】 考查时态语态。句意：拟声词“biang”意在模仿面粉和水混合撞击面板而产生的声音。分析句子结构可知，空处做谓语，根据句意可知，此处表示“有意在……”，mean to do，表示“有意做某事”，但主语是人，该句中主语是The onomatopoeic (拟声的) “biang” character，指物，所以应用被动语态，且句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，所以空处应用一般现在时的被动，主语The onomatopoeic (拟声的) "biang" character是第三人称单数，所以应用is meant，故填is meant。 【59题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：它的书写比中文里的任何一个字都要复杂。由后面的than可知，此处应用形容词complex(复杂的)的比较级more complex，故填more complex。 【60题详解】 考查名词单复数。句意：与其他西北面条种类相比，biangbiang面在西安以外的地方鲜为人知，但在当地人心目中，biangbiang面是一种令人欣慰的美食，对他们来说，biangbiang面背后的故事和汉子的书写都是常识。此处应用名词variety做Compared to(与......作比较)的宾语，表示“种类”，是可数名词，且由前面的other可知，此处表示“其他的面条种类”，不只一种，应用variety的复数形式varieties，故填varieties。 【61题详解】 考查连词。句意：与其他来自中国西北地区的面食相比，biang biang面在西安以外的地区鲜为人知，但在当地人中却是一种令人宽慰和喜爱的食物，对他们来说，biang biang面的背景故事和文字特征是众所周知的。空前句子“biang biang were less known outside of Xi’an”(biangbiang面在西安以外的地方鲜为人知)和空后句子“they were a comforting and beloved food among locals”(在当地人心目中，biangbiang面是一种令人宽慰和喜爱的食物)前后是转折关系，应用表示转折关系的连词but或yet，故填but或yet。 【62题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：与其他来自中国西北地区的面食相比，biang biang面在西安以外的地区鲜为人知，但在当地人中却是一种令人宽慰和喜爱的食物，对他们来说，biang biang面的背景故事和文字特征是众所周知的。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词locals，指人，在定语从句中作for的宾语，需用关系代词whom引导。故填whom。 【63题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：近年来，biangbiang面及其相关习俗在中国越来越广为人知，部分原因是社交媒体对杜撰的biang字感兴趣。分析句子结构可知，空处是非谓语动词，用来补充说明前面这个句子，其逻辑主语是前面的整个句子，即“近年来，biangbiang面及其相关习俗在中国越来越广为人知”，且动词drive(驱动)和前面这个句子是被动关系，所以此处应用drive过去分词形式driven，故填driven。 【64题详解】 考查介词。句意：现在，这道美食正从它刚开始的普普通通到现在传递到世界各地食客的心中和口中——这是一个很多人都没有预料到且令人愉快的一个重大突破。from...to是固定搭配，表示“从......到......”，故填to。 【65题详解】 考查冠词。句意同上。breakthrough为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且breakthrough发音以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，是某国际学校的学生会主席。你校将承办国际中学生交流大会，欲招聘一批志愿者。请你用英语写一则招聘启事登在校报上，内容包括： 1. 招聘目的；2. 应聘条件及选拔方式。 注意：1. 词数80左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Volunteers Wanted ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Student Union 【答案】Volunteers Wanted An international high school students' communication conference will be held in our school.

Student Union 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是一则通知，要求考生以学生会主席的身份为即将举办的国际中学生交流大会撰写一则招聘志愿者的启事。 【详解】词汇积累 确保：ensure → guarantee 最佳候选人：the best candidates → the most suitable applicants 参与和贡献：participation and contribution → involvement and devotion 面试：interview→ face-to-face meeting 实践测试：practical test→ hands-on assessment 句式拓展 同义句改写 原句：We are now recruiting volunteers. 拓展句：We are currently in the process of recruiting enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers. 【点睛】【高分句型1】In order to ensure the smooth running of the conference, we are now recruiting volunteers.（使用了动词不定式做目的状语） 【高分句型2】We will select the best candidates based on their performance in these two aspects, which demonstrates our commitment to excellence.（使用了关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第二节 (满分25分) 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。 It was Christmas Eve morning, and I awoke with a mission: to find my lost cat, Baby-Girl. As I got ready, I could hear icy rain pelting the windows. I said a quick prayer for Baby-Girl. She was out there somewhere in the storm, I could just feel it. Sure, it had been six months since she’d gone missing, but I still had faith. It was the season for miracles, after all. I grabbed Baby-Girl’s cat carrier and loaded it into the car, then asked my dad to drive me to the shelter, hoping she’d been found. “Sharon, you have to be realistic,” my dad said as we headed to the garage. “She’s been gone too long. You’re not going to find her.” Dad was the family’s resident “realist,” which meant he spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst. “She’s either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found her.” “Don’t you believe in Christmas miracles? Well, I just have a feeling,” I said. Dad raised an eyebrow as he climbed into the driver’s seat. At the shelter, the woman at the front desk greeted my dad warmly. “Good to see you again, Mr Dillion! Still looking for the cat?” Dad forced a smile. A staff member took us to see the cats. “When did she go missing?” the women asked. “Six months ago.” “And was she chipped (芯片)?”No, I had to admit, Baby-Girl was not. The staffer noticeably winced at the words. “When we get unchipped cats, they’re put up for adoption after three days,” she explained. “Even if your cat was brought in, she’s probably gone by now.” We walked through rows of cages. My eyes scanned cats of all shapes and sizes. None of them was my Baby-Girl. Then I noticed a room farther back. I pushed ahead. “Sweetheart, that’s where they keep the cats that just came in,” Dad said. “Your cat wouldn’t be in there.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “It doesn’t hurt to look!” I said. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, the rest of the family welcomed Baby-Girl. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“It doesn’t hurt to look!” I said.I stepped in the room and heard a familiar meow. My eyes zeroed in on a little tabby cat with big green eyes. She was skinnier than I remembered, but it was Baby-Girl all right! My eyes welled up with tears. I opened the cage door. Baby-Girl practically jumped into my arms. I held her close while Dad cast a doubtful look toward her. Back home, the rest of the family welcomed Baby-Girl. She purred like a motorboat, rubbing up against everyone’s legs. She seemed completely at home. However, Dad remained stubbornly skeptical that it was not really our Baby-Girl. But when the little creature made her way down to my parents’ decorative fireplace and curled up, where her little box was kept, he turned to me and blurted out , “Miracles did happen!” All of us burst into laughter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以失踪的猫咪为线索，讲述了作者寻找失踪猫咪Baby-Girl的经历。在圣诞节前夜，作者醒来时决心要找到失踪的猫咪，相信它仍在暴风雨中的某个地方。虽然已经过去了6个月，但作者仍然有信心。在之前的探访中，作者和父亲一起寻找Baby-Girl。但父亲是一个“现实主义者”，他试图让作者为最坏的情况做好准备。他们一起来到了动物收容所。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““看看又无妨!”我说。”可知第一段可描写作者在那个房间中发现自己心爱的猫咪。 ②由第二段首句内容“回到家，家里的其他人都欢迎Baby-Girl。”可知第二段可描写猫咪回家后的举动和父亲最终相信了那就是Baby-Girl。 2.续写线索：走进房间——熟悉的声音——抱在怀里——Baby-Girl的举动——父亲相信——所有人大笑 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.记得：remember/memorize 2.发生：happen/take place 3.突然大笑burst into laughter/burst out laughing 情绪类 1.我的眼睛涌现眼泪：My eyes welled up with tears/I felt tears gathering in my eyes 2.怀疑的：skeptical /doubtful/ suspicious 3.固执地：stubbornly /toughly 【点睛】[高分句型1] I held her close while Dad cast a doubtful look toward her. (运用了while引导的并列句) [高分句型2] She purred like a motorboat, rubbing up against everyone’s legs.

B During my graduate studies, countless workshops taught me one thing: To make it in science, one must design and carry out big projects. As I established my own research lab, a senior colleague encouraged me to try something big. So when I landed an associate professor position, my goal seemed obvious: I should perform big projects. This was the only way to lay a foundation for a successful academic research career. The path, however, would not be as clear as I had pictured. When I contacted famous researchers to suggest cooperating, as is typically required for high-profile projects, they frequently replied enthusiastically to start, agreeing my project sounded interesting and promising. But when they learned I had just established my lab, they became skeptical and hesitant, ultimately saying no. And when I sought grant funding, my lack of experience and reputation was cited as a reason to deny support for my ambitious proposals. I spent about two years being stuck in this mindset, excited about my big ideas but making little actual progress, leading to frustration and depression. As I neared my breaking point, I began to ask myself: were big projects really the only route? When I shifted to small projects, I became brave enough to step into fields I was not familiar with. By reading papers in new areas, I found creative ideas to pursue. When I discussed these adventurous, low-cost projects with early-career researchers, they were glad to cooperate. We secured funding. When I published papers out of these projects, they were not exciting enough to make headlines — but for me, it was a moment of joy and self-contentment. It has now been 3 years since I embraced this “small” approach. Sometimes senior colleagues say I’m wasting time with projects that aren’t important enough. But I disagree. When I do these studies, I also find clues for future big projects. Going forward, I will still commit part of my time to exploring small projects, which I think can help pursue more fundamental questions 24. What is the author trying to do with big projects? A. Establish an academic research center. B. Pursue his graduate studies. C. Seek a route to academic success. D. Apply for an associate professorship. 25. What prevented the author pursuing his big project? A. The toughness of work. B. The opposition from colleagues. C. Lack of necessary support. D. Shortage of academic talents. 26. How did the author carry out his small project? A. By publishing influential papers. B. By getting young colleagues’ funding. C. By cooperating with senior colleagues. D. By exploring and initiating new ideas. 27. What does the author learn from his experience? A. Good jobs require a high degree. B. Small doesn’t mean unimportant. C Success results from preparation. D. Ambition isn’t fit for the young. C Many parents worry that showing negative emotions in front of their children will cause them to suffer. For example children may end up thinking it’s their fault or simply “catch” the emotion. Indeed, this worry has a sound basis—the phenomenon of “emotional contagion” (情绪感染) is real, and one recent study found that parents can transfer their fear of going to the dentist, for example, to their children. On the other hand, there is the natural idea that we should “be real” with our children, and that they will benefit from watching a parent who struggles and eventually deals with their negative emotions like any other human being. There are three concepts to consider when it comes to emotional display in front of children: suppression, “uncontained” expression, and talking about emotions. Suppression of emotion is when you hide the outward signs of an emotion. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work very well—the act of suppressing your emotion actually increases your blood pressure. Observers can pick up on your distress despite your efforts to hide it, making them feel stressed. The recent research has also found that when parents feel negative emotions and keep them from their children, they experience lower relationship quality and decreased responsiveness to their child’s needs. On the other hand “uncontained” expression of anger and sadness by the parent is also not salutary for the child. Uncontained means high intensity emotion, with no attempts to regulate or take ownership of it. Shouting, smashing (摔) things and blaming someone else for “making you angry” are all example of this. So, what is the middle ground? That would be talking about emotion taking ownership of them and showing your child that you are trying to deal with them. Classic research found that six-year-old kids had better emotional understanding and perspective-taking skills if their mothers had talked to them about their emotions at the age of three. In fact, the more the mothers had talked, the better the outcome would be. So next time you feel sad, angry or frustrated and your child is watching you expressing emotion, do explain what’s going on in terms they can understand. 28. The author uses the example of going to the dentist mainly to ________. A. introduce the topic of negative emotions B. explain parents’ common fear C. show children may catch parents’ emotions D. present the consequences of transferring negative emotions 29. If a mother suppresses her emotions, ________. A. she will not make her kids feel stressed B. she can hide her emotions from her kids C. she can’t respond effectively to her kids’ needs D. she will often shout at her kids for no reasons 30. What does the underlined word “salutary” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. significant B. reliable C. meaningful D. beneficial 31. What’s the structure of the text? A. B. C. D. D The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative (有生产力的) artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts. Sora is not the first of its kind. Google, Meta and Runway ML are among the other companies to have developed similar technology. But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers. A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion, or prompt, on X. The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked, gnocchi (意大利团子), as well as the setting — an old Italian country kitchen. The prompt said: “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi, hosted by a grandmother — a social media influencer, set in a rustic (土气的) Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described. The tool is not yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects. The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press, the source of this report, to license its text news archive (档案). OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public. The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially (对立地) testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.” 32. What makes Sora impressive? A. Its artificial intelligence history. B. Its extraordinary video quality. C. Its ethical and societal influence. D. Its written commands and prompts. 33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6? A The company’s current challenge. B. The company’s advanced technology. C. The company’s problems in management. D. The company’s efforts for Sora’s improvement. 34. What can we infer from the text? A. Some disagreements over Sora have arisen. B. Sora is the first text-to-video generator in history. C. OpenAI CEO Altman wrote a prompt as an example. D. All the details about how Sora was built have been shared. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards Sora? A. Pessimistic. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Cautious. 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。 In the busy and fast-paced world we live in today, keeping a healthy eating routine within changing schedules and various family preferences can seem like an huge challenge.

As I got ready, I could hear icy rain pelting the windows. I said a quick prayer for Baby-Girl. She was out there somewhere in the storm, I could just feel it. Sure, it had been six months since she’d gone missing, but I still had faith. It was the season for miracles, after all. I grabbed Baby-Girl’s cat carrier and loaded it into the car then asked my dad to drive me to the shelter, hoping she’d been found. “Sharon, you have to be realistic,” my dad said as we headed to the garage. “She’s been gone too long. You’re not going to find her.” Dad was the family’s resident “realist,” which meant he spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst. “She’s either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found her.” “Don’t you believe in Christmas miracles? Well, I just have a feeling,” I said. Dad raised an eyebrow as he climbed into the driver’s seat. At the shelter, the woman at the front desk greeted my dad warmly. “Good to see you again, Mr Dillion! Still looking for the cat?” Dad forced a smile. A staff member took us to see the cats. “When did she go missing?” the women asked. “Six months ago.” “And was she chipped (芯片)?”No, I had to admit, Baby-Girl was not. The staffer noticeably winced at the words. “When we get unchipped cats, they’re put up for adoption after three days,” she explained. “Even if your cat was brought in, she’s probably gone by now.” We walked through rows of cages. My eyes scanned cats of all shapes and sizes. None of them was my Baby-Girl. Then I noticed a room farther back. I pushed ahead. “Sweetheart, that’s where they keep the cats that just came in,” Dad said. “Your cat wouldn’t be in there.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “It doesn’t hurt to look!” I said. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, the rest of the family welcomed Baby-Girl. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。How many students passed the physical exam in your class. but eight students in the class failed?
