A
Inventions born out of love
Garbage Disposers (处理器)
John W. Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935. Hammes got the idea after watching his wife spend time wrapping food in newspaper and throwing it out. The InSinkErator is a device, put under a kitchen sink between the sink’s drain (排水管)and the trap. The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm in diameter(直径) —to pass through the drains.
Surgical Gloves
William Stewart Halsted, M. D. (1852-1922)was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”. Known for his strict insistence to sterile(无菌的) working conditions, Halsted invented rubber gloves that allowed his colleagues to lessen the transfer of germs(细菌)during their work. Yet the initial reason why he created them is more romantic than you would think. Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin diseuse during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage.
Band-Aids
When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in. Dickson, a cotton buyer for Johnson &Johnson, according to the company’s website, decided to invent a temporary adhesive (有黏性的) bandage for his wife. His creation became the Band-Aid we all know and use today.
Magnetic (有磁性的)Shirt Buttons
Maura Horton’s husband, Don, was a football coach who had Parkinson’s disease. One day, after Don struggled to button his shirt before a game, Horton decided there needed to be a better clothing option for people suffering from a disability. So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012. These buttons will finally allow everyone to dress and undress themselves efficiently.
21. What’s the function of the InSinkErator?
A. It can clear sink pipes. B. It can recycle kitchen waste.
C. It can remove food waste easily. D. It can extend the service life of sinks.
22. For whom did William invent surgical gloves?
A. A nurse. B. The patient.
C. The surgeons D. His colleagues.
23. Which is the latest invention?
A. The InSinkErator B. Band-Aids
C. Surgical Gloves. D. Magnetic Shirt Buttons.
B
Two teams of scientists—one in Denmark and the other in the UK—came up with the same question at about the same time: Could they identify the animals in an area from DNA that was simply floating in the air?
Testing for “environmental” DNA, or eDNA, isn’t a new idea, but most of the time, scientists look for eDNA in the water. DNA in the air is usually so small that it would take a microscope to see it. “We did not think that vacuuming (用真空吸尘器吸) animal DNA from the air would work at first, but the result is pleasantly surprising,” said Dr. Kristine Bohmann, one of the scientists on the Copenhagen team.
Neither team knew the other group was working on a similar experiment. One collected samples from different places at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. The scientists used slightly different methods to collect their samples. But basically, both teams used vacuums and fans to collect extremely tiny bits of DNA onto very high-quality filters (过滤器) .
In the laboratory, they got the DNA from the filters and made copies of it to study. By comparing their samples with examples of DNA from different animals, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos. The scientists chose to test in zoos because they had scarce animals which are not naturally and easily found in the area. As Dr. Elizabeth Clare who led the UK team said, “There’s no other way I would detect DNA from a tiger, except for the zoo’s tiger.”
Each team only discovered the other experiment after they’d written a paper about their own results. Instead of competing, the two decided to combine their results and publish a paper together.
“We are excited that this new method could be used in the wild. Scientists have been looking for better ways to track endangered animals without affecting them. If researchers know where animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them. The next step is to figure out how to take this method into nature,” says Dr. Bohmann.
24. Which is the feature of DNA in the air?
A. It is usually preserved shortly.
B. It was thought difficult to collect.
C. It is too small to be found and classified.
D. It was collected for other researches before.
25. How did both teams of scientists collect DNA samples?
A. By equipping the zoos with filters.
B. With the help of vacuums and fans.
C. By keeping animals in the laboratory.
D. With the help of advanced microscopes.
26. What does the underlined word “scarce” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Characteristic. B. Dangerous. C. Various. D. Rare
27. What does Dr Bohmann think of the study?
A. Special. B. Perfect. C. Meaningful. D. Complex.
C
Thanks to the $10bn James Webb Space Telescope, we are beginning to “see” the radiant heat of the early universe like never before. On Monday night, to the excitement of professional astronomers and amateurs the world over, the telescope’s first full-colour image of deep space was released. The striking image, taken at minimally explored wavelengths and never-before-seen resolution, reveals a large number of universal objects.
The image is yet to be fully analysed but some objects are relics (遗迹) dating to within 0.7bn years of the Big Bang, the explosion that created our universe 13.8bn years ago. A new era (时代) of astronomy, in which we can finally see the oldest objects in the universe and gain a fuller understanding of its origins, has officially begun.
Tuesday saw four more important results emerge from the Webb’s first week of observations. Chris Lintott, professor of astrophysics at Oxford University and a researcher on galaxy (星系) formation, said he was blown away by the quality and beauty of the images. “It knocked my socks off,” Lintott said on Tuesday. “I was sitting in a roomful of galaxy experts when the Stephan’s Quintet image was shown, and jaws hit the floor. The Webb is going to produce some of the most amazing pictures of the space age.”
Webb’s “first deep field”, as the image of deep space released on Monday is known, is a picture taken over 12. 5 hours. It shows the cotton-wool-like galaxy cluster (团) SMACS 0723 centrally in the foreground, plus bright white stars.
As Lintott points out, bigger light-collecting mirrors result in sharper images, of the type that Webb is now delivering. The investment in the James Webb Space Telescope’s large foldable mirror has paid off. It is hard to believe that the Earth-orbiting telescope, regarded as one of the most complex engineering projects ever attempted and nearly cancelled a decade ago, has begun operating successfully.
28. What may be most probably talked about before paragraph 1?
A The radiant heat. B. Some astronomers.
C. Some universal objects. D. The history of mankind.
29. How did Chris Lintott react to Stephan’s Quintet image?
A. He was humble. B. He was tolerant.
C. He was surprised. D. He was prejudiced.
30 What can we know about Webb according to the last paragraph?
A. It is a complex project.
B. It is regarded useless.
C. It was put into use a decade ago.
D. It was innovated by Chris Lintott.
31. Which would be a suitable title for the passage?
A. The story of an inventor
B. Chris Lintott made a breakthrough
C. The image of relics of the Big Bang
D. A new era of astronomy has begun
D
In my memory, winters always used to be really unpleasant. You had to wear more clothes just to keep warm when you went outside. You were often cold and wet. If you didn’t have a terrible slide, you’d arrive home to an ice-cold house. And that would mean turning on the heating and waiting. It’s a miracle (奇迹) you didn’t get cold to the bone.
Fortunately, things don’t have to be so challenging any more. Technology, engineering and design have advanced giving us new solutions to old problems. It means dealing with winter needn’t be like skating on thin ice.
With a smart thermostat (恒温器) our homes can be comfortable when we need them. Many models feature smartphone apps that allow you to regulate temperature remotely, so we can warm up the house before we arrive home. According to techradar. com, the largest UK- based consumer technology news and reviews website, Tado’s model features voice control, while the Nest ‘learns’ your habits and automatically heats the home for you.
Clothes have been given an upgrade, too. Electronic thermal jackets heat up when you turn them on. What better way to keep comfortable in the dead of winter? At the touch of a button, or through an app on our phones, the clothing generates heat from elements placed inside. Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over 12 hours.
Finally, there is the headgear—Beanies (女帽) and earmuffs (耳罩) that feature speakers included in the fabric using Bluetooth technology so we can listen to our favourite music or, in some cases, have a phone call using the in-built microphone. At the same time we can keep the head warm and avoid cold.
For many, the thought of winter used to be enough to make their blood run cold. But using technology, life needn’t freeze up. With the right solutions, there’s no reason why winter can’t be really, really cool.
32. What’s the writing purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To lead in some amazing advances.
B. To sell electronic thermal jackets.
C. To explain the benefits of modern houses.
D. To tell readers unpleasant winters in the past.
33. What can we do using a smart thermostat and a phone?
A. Make winter cool.
B. Track your daily routines.
C. Browse the website easily.
D. Adjust temperatures remotely.
34. How does electronic thermal clothes work?
A. By giving them an upgrade.
B. By producing heat from elements put inside.
C. By generating energy to keep you comfortable.
D. By learning your habit of wearing jackets or parkas.
35. Where are the speakers in a Bluetooth beanie?
A. They are put in an earphone. B. They are hidden in the phone.
C. They are included in the fabric. D. They are placed in a small case.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Certain brands and products can be easily recognized at a glance by people worldwide. ____36____ Just mentioning the words golden arches (拱门) brings to mind burgers and fries from McDonald’s. With such universal popularity, many people are confused as to why these large and famous companies do so much advertising and have such large advertising budgets. ____37____
Most business owners who are just starting to understand how vital advertising is to their growth. Putting in the time and money to market your company can help it grow over time. ____38____ Continuing to advertise after achieving success helps businesses maintain a positive image with the public. It can also help attract new customers as demographics (客户群体) change as time passes. Furthermore, advertising helps to inform your customers of updates to old products and introduce new ones. However, the ultimate goal of advertising for both big and small companies is to earn more income and maximize profits.
____39____ Is it better to stick to traditional forms of media, like newspapers and television, or embrace (接纳) new forms of online advertising on social media sites? While many new smaller companies tend to focus their limited budgets on social media and internet marketing, it is usually better for larger, well-established companies to do both. For example, over 95% of homes receive television signals, while only around 75% of the population has access to the internet. ____40____ Also, older, wealthier people are more likely to notice television advertising than online advertising. While the focus of advertising might change over time, companies must certainly continue to use it to grow.
A. Is advertising necessary?
B. After all, shouldn’t their global success speak for itself?
C. This same principle holds true for older successful brands.
D. Therefore, television advertising gives companies access to more people.
E. Another major question companies must find the answer to is how to advertise.
F. The money invested in these advertisements could be used for more worthwhile businesses.
G. Almost everyone is familiar with the red labeling of Coca-Cola or the symbolic flower logo of Huawei.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I remember wondering if we should even be friends when I found out that my new friend Karina did not share my opinions about some stuff. It was hard to imagine disagreeing with her about anything, because when we first met, we got along so great.
It was as if we’d known each other forever. Whenever we got to pick a partner at camp, we picked each other. Whenever we had a break, we hung out together. And the more time we spent together, the more we realized how amazingly alike we were. We both had two lovely cats. We both liked baking extra-creative cookies.
But then something happened. The tent camp was next to a piece of beautiful land that had a bunch of giant old trees on it. Whenever it was nice out, we’d get to eat our lunch at picnic tables that were right by some of those trees. “Whoa!” said Karina one day. “Look at the millions of holes all the way up and down this trunk.”
“That’s amazing,” I said. “A special kind of woodpecker (啄木鸟)makes those holes to store acorns (橡子).”
“Pretty cool! ”said our counselor, Miguel. “Now, let’s all be sure to keep this magical forest as clean and perfect. Don’t forget to put your trash and recyclables in the bins.”
And that’s when things got complicated. “Hey,” said our friend LeVar. “Have you guys heard that shopping-mall rumor (传闻)? They want to cut down a bunch of those trees to make room for a shopping center.”
“That’s terrible!” I said. “We have to stop that.”
“I disagree,” said Karina. “My parents said the shopping center would make new jobs for people.”
“But think of all the birds and squirrels that would lose their homes!” I said. “I want people to have jobs, but not if it means cutting down trees.”
“Don’t you think people’s jobs are more important than trees?” Karina asked.
“Can’t we figure out how to make jobs without destroying nature?” I answered.
“You know,” Karina said, super seriously, “maybe we’re not quite as alike as we thought.”
I sighed sadly.
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。
Maybe two people with opposite points of view just aren’t meant to be friends, I was thinking. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We ended up having much more fun at the tent camp. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Inventions born out of love
Garbage Disposers (处理器)
John W. Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935. Hammes got the idea after watching his wife spend time wrapping food in newspaper and throwing it out. The InSinkErator is a device, put under a kitchen sink between the sink’s drain (排水管)and the trap. The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm in diameter(直径) —to pass through the drains.
Surgical Gloves
William Stewart Halsted, M. D. (1852-1922)was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”. Known for his strict insistence to sterile(无菌的) working conditions, Halsted invented rubber gloves that allowed his colleagues to lessen the transfer of germs(细菌)during their work. Yet the initial reason why he created them is more romantic than you would think. Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin diseuse during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage.
Band-Aids
When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in. Dickson, a cotton buyer for Johnson &Johnson, according to the company’s website, decided to invent a temporary adhesive (有黏性的) bandage for his wife. His creation became the Band-Aid we all know and use today.
Magnetic (有磁性的)Shirt Buttons
Maura Horton’s husband Don, was a football coach who had Parkinson’s disease. One day, after Don struggled to button his shirt before a game, Horton decided there needed to be a better clothing option for people suffering from a disability. So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012. These buttons will finally allow everyone to dress and undress themselves efficiently.
21. What’s the function of the InSinkErator?
A. It can clear sink pipes. B. It can recycle kitchen waste.
C. It can remove food waste easily. D. It can extend the service life of sinks.
22. For whom did William invent surgical gloves?
A. A nurse. B. The patient.
C. The surgeons D. His colleagues.
23. Which is the latest invention?
A. The InSinkErator B. Band-Aids
C. Surgical Gloves. D. Magnetic Shirt Buttons.
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种发明,这四种发明都是源于发明人对伴侣的爱。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“T The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm in diameter(直径) —to pass through the drains.(该处理装置将食物垃圾撕成足够小的碎片,通常直径小于2毫米,以便通过管道。)”可知,InSinkErator用来将食物垃圾撕成足够小的碎片,以便更轻松地清除食物垃圾。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin diseuse during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage. (得知护士Caroline在工作中患有皮肤病后,Halsted特意为她发明了这副手套,并在婚后送给她作为礼物。)”可知,手术手套最初是Halsted特意为他作护士工作的妻子发明的。故选A。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据这四种发明的发明时间:根据最后一段“So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012.(因此,Horton在2012年设计了一款带有磁性纽扣的衬衫。)”可知,选项A“Magnetic shirt buttons.(磁性衬衫纽扣)”的发明时间为2012年;根据第二段“William Stewart Halsted, M. D. (1852-1922)was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”. ( William Stewart Halsted医学博士(1852-1922)是美国著名的外科医生,常被称为“现代外科之父”。)”可推断,选项B“Surgical Gloves(手术手套)”的发明时间为1852到1922之间;根据第一段“John W. Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935. (来自威斯康星州的建筑师John W. Hammes于1935年设计了InSinkErator。)”可知,选项C“The InSinkErator.”发明于1935年;根据文章第三段“When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in. ( 20世纪20年代,新泽西州的Josephine Knight Dickson在为家人做饭时不断割伤自己,她的丈夫Earle Dickson介入了。)”可知,选项D“Band-Aids.”发明于20世纪20年代。由此判断,四种发明中,最新发明是Magnetic Shirt Buttons。故选A。

Two teams of scientists—one in Denmark and the other in the UK—came up with the same question at about the same time: Could they identify the animals in an area from DNA that was simply floating in the air?
Testing for “environmental” DNA, or eDNA, isn’t a new idea, but most of the time, scientists look for eDNA in the water. DNA in the air is usually so small that it would take a microscope to see it. “We did not think that vacuuming (用真空吸尘器吸) animal DNA from the air would work at first, but the result is pleasantly surprising,” said Dr. Kristine Bohmann, one of the scientists on the Copenhagen team.
Neither team knew the other group was working on a similar experiment. One collected samples from different places at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. The scientists used slightly different methods to collect their samples. But basically, both teams used vacuums and fans to collect extremely tiny bits of DNA onto very high-quality filters (过滤器) .
In the laboratory, they got the DNA from the filters and made copies of it to study. By comparing their samples with examples of DNA from different animals, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos. The scientists chose to test in zoos because they had scarce animals which are not naturally and easily found in the area. As Dr. Elizabeth Clare who led the UK team said, “There’s no other way I would detect DNA from a tiger, except for the zoo’s tiger.”
Each team only discovered the other experiment after they’d written a paper about their own results. Instead of competing, the two decided to combine their results and publish a paper together.
“We are excited that this new method could be used in the wild. Scientists have been looking for better ways to track endangered animals without affecting them. If researchers know where animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them. The next step is to figure out how to take this method into nature,” says Dr. Bohmann.
24. Which is the feature of DNA in the air?
A. It is usually preserved shortly.
B. It was thought difficult to collect.
C. It is too small to be found and classified.
D. It was collected for other researches before.
25. How did both teams of scientists collect DNA samples?
A. By equipping the zoos with filters.
B. With the help of vacuums and fans.
C. By keeping animals in the laboratory.
D. With the help of advanced microscopes.
26. What does the underlined word “scarce” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Characteristic. B. Dangerous. C. Various. D. Rare
27. What does Dr Bohmann think of the study?
A. Special. B. Perfect. C. Meaningful. D. Complex.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了两支科学家团队分别在丹麦和英国开展研究,在动物园里利用真空吸尘器收集空气中的微小DNA片段,并通过高质量过滤器捕获,随后在实验室分析这些DNA样本,成功识别出动物园内的多种动物。这项新技术有望在不干扰野生动物的情况下,帮助科学家更好地追踪和保护濒危动物。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“DNA in the air is usually so small that it would take a microscope to see it. “We did not think that vacuuming (用真空吸尘器吸) animal DNA from the air would work at first, but the result is pleasantly surprising,” said Dr. Kristine Bohmann, one of the scientists on the Copenhagen team.(空气中的DNA通常很小,需要显微镜才能看到。哥本哈根团队的科学家之一Kristine Bohmann博士说:“我们起初不认为用真空吸尘器吸空气中的动物DNA会奏效,但结果令人惊喜。”)”可知,人们认为空气中的DNA收集起来很困难。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But basically, both teams used vacuums and fans to collect extremely tiny bits of DNA onto very high-quality filters (过滤器) .(但基本上,两个团队都使用真空吸尘器和风扇将极其微小的DNA片段收集到非常高质量的过滤器上)”可知,两个科学家团队都是借助于真空吸尘器和风扇来收集DNA样本的。故选B项。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“The scientists chose to test in zoos because they had scarce animals which are not naturally and easily found in the area.(科学家们之所以选择在动物园进行测试,是因为动物园里有scarce动物,而这些动物在该地区并不容易自然发现)”可知,scarce animals指的是在该地区并不容易自然发现的动物,推测划线单词表示“稀有的”,与rare意义相近。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““We are excited that this new method could be used in the wild. Scientists have been looking for better ways to track endangered animals without affecting them. If researchers know where animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them. The next step is to figure out how to take this method into nature,” says Dr. Bohmann. (Bohmann博士说:“我们很高兴这种新方法能够在野外使用。科学家们一直在寻找更好的方法来追踪濒危动物,而不影响它们。如果研究人员知道动物生活在哪里,他们就可以更好地保护它们。下一步是找出如何将这种方法应用到自然中。”)”可推知,Bohmann博士认为这项研究是有意义的,因为它为追踪和保护野生动物提供了新的可能。故选C项。
C
Thanks to the $10bn James Webb Space Telescope, we are beginning to “see” the radiant heat of the early universe like never before. On Monday night, to the excitement of professional astronomers and amateurs the world over, the telescope’s first full-colour image of deep space was released. The striking image, taken at minimally explored wavelengths and never-before-seen resolution, reveals a large number of universal objects.
The image is yet to be fully analysed but some objects are relics (遗迹) dating to within 0.7bn years of the Big Bang, the explosion that created our universe 13.8bn years ago. A new era (时代) of astronomy, in which we can finally see the oldest objects in the universe and gain a fuller understanding of its origins, has officially begun.
Tuesday saw four more important results emerge from the Webb’s first week of observations. Chris Lintott, professor of astrophysics at Oxford University and a researcher on galaxy (星系) formation, said he was blown away by the quality and beauty of the images. “It knocked my socks off,” Lintott said on Tuesday. “I was sitting in a roomful of galaxy experts when the Stephan’s Quintet image was shown, and jaws hit the floor. The Webb is going to produce some of the most amazing pictures of the space age.”
Webb’s “first deep field”, as the image of deep space released on Monday is known, is a picture taken over 12. 5 hours. It shows the cotton-wool-like galaxy cluster (团) SMACS 0723 centrally in the foreground, plus bright white stars.
As Lintott points out, bigger light-collecting mirrors result in sharper images, of the type that Webb is now delivering. The investment in the James Webb Space Telescope’s large foldable mirror has paid off. It is hard to believe that the Earth-orbiting telescope, regarded as one of the most complex engineering projects ever attempted and nearly cancelled a decade ago, has begun operating successfully.
28. What may be most probably talked about before paragraph 1?
A. The radiant heat. B. Some astronomers.
C. Some universal objects. D. The history of mankind.
29. How did Chris Lintott react to Stephan’s Quintet image?
A. He was humble. B. He was tolerant.
C. He was surprised. D. He was prejudiced.
30. What can we know about Webb according to the last paragraph?
A. It is a complex project.
B. It is regarded useless.
C. It was put into use a decade ago.
D. It was innovated by Chris Lintott.
31. Which would be a suitable title for the passage?
A. The story of an inventor
B Chris Lintott made a breakthrough
C. The image of relics of the Big Bang
D. A new era of astronomy has begun
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】

In my memory, winters always used to be really unpleasant. You had to wear more clothes just to keep warm when you went outside. You were often cold and wet. If you didn’t have a terrible slide, you’d arrive home to an ice-cold house. And that would mean turning on the heating and waiting. It’s a miracle (奇迹) you didn’t get cold to the bone.
Fortunately, things don’t have to be so challenging any more. Technology, engineering and design have advanced giving us new solutions to old problems. It means dealing with winter needn’t be like skating on thin ice.
With a smart thermostat (恒温器), our homes can be comfortable when we need them. Many models feature smartphone apps that allow you to regulate temperature remotely, so we can warm up the house before we arrive home. According to techradar. com, the largest UK- based consumer technology news and reviews website, Tado’s model features voice control, while the Nest ‘learns’ your habits and automatically heats the home for you.
Clothes have been given an upgrade, too. Electronic thermal jackets heat up when you turn them on. What better way to keep comfortable in the dead of winter? At the touch of a button, or through an app on our phones, the clothing generates heat from elements placed inside. Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over 12 hours.
Finally, there is the headgear—Beanies (女帽) and earmuffs (耳罩) that feature speakers included in the fabric using Bluetooth technology so we can listen to our favourite music or, in some cases, have a phone call using the in-built microphone. At the same time we can keep the head warm and avoid cold.
For many, the thought of winter used to be enough to make their blood run cold. But using technology, life needn’t freeze up. With the right solutions, there’s no reason why winter can’t be really, really cool.
32. What’s the writing purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To lead in some amazing advances.
B. To sell electronic thermal jackets.
C. To explain the benefits of modern houses.
D. To tell readers unpleasant winters in the past.
33. What can we do using a smart thermostat and a phone?
A. Make winter cool.
B. Track your daily routines.
C. Browse the website easily.
D Adjust temperatures remotely.
34. How does electronic thermal clothes work?
A By giving them an upgrade.
B. By producing heat from elements put inside.
C. By generating energy to keep you comfortable.
D. By learning your habit of wearing jackets or parkas.
35. Where are the speakers in a Bluetooth beanie?
A. They are put in an earphone. B. They are hidden in the phone.
C. They are included in the fabric. D. They are placed in a small case.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. C

With such universal popularity, many people are confused as to why these large and famous companies do so much advertising and have such large advertising budgets. ____37____
Most business owners who are just starting to understand how vital advertising is to their growth. Putting in the time and money to market your company can help it grow over time. ____38____ Continuing to advertise after achieving success helps businesses maintain a positive image with the public. It can also help attract new customers as demographics (客户群体) change as time passes. Furthermore, advertising helps to inform your customers of updates to old products and introduce new ones. However, the ultimate goal of advertising for both big and small companies is to earn more income and maximize profits.
____39____ Is it better to stick to traditional forms of media, like newspapers and television, or embrace (接纳) new forms of online advertising on social media sites? While many new smaller companies tend to focus their limited budgets on social media and internet marketing, it is usually better for larger, well-established companies to do both. For example, over 95% of homes receive television signals, while only around 75% of the population has access to the internet. ____40____ Also, older, wealthier people are more likely to notice television advertising than online advertising. While the focus of advertising might change over time, companies must certainly continue to use it to grow.
A. Is advertising necessary?
B. After all, shouldn’t their global success speak for itself?
C. This same principle holds true for older successful brands.
D. Therefore, television advertising gives companies access to more people.
E. Another major question companies must find the answer to is how to advertise.

Should artificial intelligence replace teachers
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Should artificial intelligence replace teachers
Respected judges and dear classmates,
I strongly believe that artificial intelligence should not replace teachers.
Firstly, education is not just about knowledge transfer, but also about shaping emotions, values, and worldviews. Teachers are not only disseminators of knowledge, but also guides and friends on students’ growth paths. They can understand students’ needs and provide timely guidance and support, which is irreplaceable by artificial intelligence.
Secondly, education is an interactive process that requires communication and feedback between teachers and students. However, artificial intelligence lacks this interactivity and humanity. It cannot adjust teaching strategies based on students’ real-time feedback, let alone optimize teaching through personal experience like teachers.
Therefore, I firmly believe that artificial intelligence cannot replace the central role of teachers in education.
Thank you!

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落的开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I remember wondering if we should even be friends when I found out that my new friend Karina did not share my opinions about some stuff. It was hard to imagine disagreeing with her about anything, because when we first met, we got along so great.
It was as if we’d known each other forever. Whenever we got to pick a partner at camp, we picked each other. Whenever we had a break, we hung out together. And the more time we spent together, the more we realized how amazingly alike we were. We both had two lovely cats. We both liked baking extra-creative cookies.
But then something happened. The tent camp was next to a piece of beautiful land that had a bunch of giant old trees on it. Whenever it was nice out, we’d get to eat our lunch at picnic tables that were right by some of those trees. “Whoa!” said Karina one day. “Look at the millions of holes all the way up and down this trunk.”
“That’s amazing,” I said. “A special kind of woodpecker (啄木鸟)makes those holes to store acorns (橡子).”
“Pretty cool! ”said our counselor, Miguel. “Now, let’s all be sure to keep this magical forest as clean and perfect. Don’t forget to put your trash and recyclables in the bins.”
And that’s when things got complicated. “Hey,” said our friend LeVar. “Have you guys heard that shopping-mall rumor (传闻)? They want to cut down a bunch of those trees to make room for a shopping center.”
“That’s terrible!” I said. “We have to stop that.”
“I disagree,” said Karina. “My parents said the shopping center would make new jobs for people.”
“But think of all the birds and squirrels that would lose their homes!” I said. “I want people to have jobs, but not if it means cutting down trees.”
“Don’t you think people’s jobs are more important than trees?” Karina asked.
“Can’t we figure out how to make jobs without destroying nature?” I answered.
“You know,” Karina said, super seriously, “maybe we’re not quite as alike as we thought.”
I sighed sadly.
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。
Maybe two people with opposite points of view just aren’t meant to be friends, I was thinking. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We ended up having much more fun at the tent camp. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Maybe two people with opposite points of view just aren’t meant to be friends, I was thinking. That evening, as we sat around the campfire, the atmosphere felt heavy with unspoken words. Suddenly, Karina thought of an idea, “What if we organized a community event to raise awareness about the importance of those trees and also brainstormed ideas for creating jobs without harming nature?” I couldn’t help but smile at her suggestion. “That’s a fantastic idea, Karina! Let’s do it together. Our friendship is strong enough to handle differences,” I replied, relief and excitement washing over me.
We ended up having much more fun at the tent camp. Our efforts not only strengthened our friendship but also brought our camp community together in a shared cause. We realized that friendships aren’t about agreeing on everything. They’re about respecting each other’s perspectives, learning from differences, and finding common goals. The forest remained untouched, and our bond, fortified by our collaborative triumph, blossomed into something even deeper and more meaningful. In the end, it wasn’t about proving who was right. It was about growing together, as individuals and as friends.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者和Karina因兴趣相投成为好友,但对树林是否应被砍伐建商场持有不同意见,这让作者质疑和Karina的友谊。两人之间的争论体现了环保与经济发展之间的冲突,以及寻求两者平衡的挑战。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我在想,也许两个观点相反的人不应该成为朋友。”可知,第一段可描写Karina想到了一个对双方均有益处的主意,作者如释重负。
②由第二段首句内容“我们最终在帐篷营地玩得更开心了。”可知,第二段可描写两人共同努力,加强了友谊,以及作者的感悟。
2.续写线索:气氛不佳——Karina想到好主意——作者感觉如释重负——两人努力——作者的感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①想出:think of/come up with
②提高:raise/enhance
③回答:reply/answer/respond
情绪类
①放松:relief/relaxation
②兴奋:excitement/ euphoria
【点睛】【高分句型1】We realized that friendships aren’t about agreeing on everything.(运用了that引导宾语从句)
【高分句型2】In the end, it wasn’t about proving who was right.(运用了who引导宾语从句)
